DIY Dragonfly - Decoration Idea - Upcycling of waste plastic
24,078
Published 2024-07-12
Additional materials I used are:
Glass colour, acrylic gold and bronze colour, thin brass wire for the body base, legs, hook and some nylon string for the flying dragonflies
My first intention was to use plastic for the middle body parts too, but the plastic melted too fast under the hotglue. So I changed my mind and used brass wire instead. It is much safer and more beautiful too. I would love to know if you like how the dragonflies turned out. Just tell me in the comments. I wish you all a beautiful and creative crafting time.

Has anybody tried cutting the plastic with one of those soldering irons that has a cutting edge on it? Asking for the severely carpal tunneled types whose arms start aching at the mere sight of chopping through plastic with conventional scissors.

Beautiful 😍 I would like to make these. Dragonflies are the state insects in Washington. I have one that comes to my back patio and flies in place and will just stare at me 😅 I believe it's my late husband coming around to say hello 👋 Thank you ❤
