      I used this method to make some dragonfly decorations.

I am curious to see what people think of them. I am sorry but I don't remember any specifics about the tape. I just show it at Home Depot years ago and since it was silver and shiny I had to have it. 🙂 The only tip I can give you is that you don't want the tape to be too bulky. Happy Upcycling!

    I. Wonder just how long the adhesive on the tape lasts though? I have made aluminum can jewelry for the last 23 years…never used the aluminum tape, and never did the rolled beads…so am interested in this technique. I have been searching for a solution like this!

      Hi thanks for your question. I have not really found them to be sharp once the bead is rolled up.

    • @UpcycleDesignLab

      It does add weight but I don't think it makes the item too heavy. But you can make the project without it too if you prefer. Thanks for watching 😊

    • @UpcycleDesignLab
      @UpcycleDesignLab  Рік тому

      Hi - I have had the tape pop open a couple of time when adding the alcohol ink. I solved that problem by sealing the beads with mod podge before and after adding the alcohol ink. The other thing is that you want to make sure the tape on the end of the bead wraps all the way around the bead at least once. Thanks for watching.

    If you would have cut or filed a small notch for the eyescrew to inset, it would have saved a lot of hassle. A small file and a razor tipped tool would give you the notch you need. That way, it would fit nice and tight and clean.

      I was also wondering if it’s necessary to be concerned with sharp edges. Thanks for asking for me!
      In case you wanted to be extra careful, I use sandpaper to dull the edges. It works well and doesn’t take long at all.

    I had the volume off so that I could watch this while in line so I don't know ur thought process for some of the things ur doing but I like the bottle caps I keep them the way they are and pour resin in them with little things like I bought this packet of small items that are super cute like little lemons 🍋 and small flowers things u would put on maybe nails and I put them in there and do a picture on the other side or inside it and have done one like a locket lead works better as a weight for the bottoms and I again would melt some zink fishing weights and do a thin line then do like a compass that works or pictures and makes it more of a locket then just a weighted whatever it was that bead thing was intresting my favorite thing for using cans was I got a butterfly 🦋 cut thing from sizzle so u run it through it cuts out tons of butter Flys then I used the stamp it came with and do the insides of the butter Flys I like the metals looking ones some a did a transparent paint blue which kept the metal look so the look like the shinny blue morphs that I then did black on the stamp to fill in the markings and lined my ceiling with them doing differnt size makes it look like they are flying a distance away hanging with fishing line helps to make them look like fluttering some I did a spring cutting the body from the wings the spring when the ac kicks on it looks like they are flying in action I have the back room to going out side on back deck pergola so they look really pretty 😍 I saw a bunch at a museum once and was like I want my own fairy land of butterflys 🦋 I also did some in acitate with a sheer look to them in the monarch ones I use a orange 🍊 transparent on the one side and then the black markings on both sides to give it a feeling of real I have seen the birds try to take them on a tree I have them hanging from but it always look like they are flying we have a tall house and fence line so over some areas we did fishing line to keep the birds out of the garden and I hung the bytterflys for a tea party on them it was magical so we left them up storm's make it look so amazing 👏

    • @UpcycleDesignLab
      @UpcycleDesignLab  Рік тому

      Hi Connie - sorry you are having trouble. My suggestion is to use longer pieces of tape you want the tape to wrap all the way around the bead at least once. If that still doesn't work you could try a different brand of tape. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

    Tears ago when I worked in a body shop I used the bottom of a spray paint can. I sprayed silicone in and filled it with Bondo when it cured I removed it and put more Bondo back in and added the piece I already made before it cured which stuck both together when it cured I lightly sanded and painted it red I think and drilled some holes and applied a little Firebird emblem I had. Then I drilled a hole in the top and bottom screwed and epoxied 2 tiny eyebolts and put a chain on top and a little feathery keychain on the bottom and had a wizards pendant for Haloween. :),

      Rachel the beads aren't what I would call sharp but they aren't smooth and glossy either. I would describe them as a little scratchy. I hope that helps to answer your question. Here is some additional information that might help. ua-cam.com/video/uKRd750NlRE/v-deo.html

      Hi Paula - thanks for the question. In my experience the edges are not really dangerous. I haven't ever hurt myself. I think you could get a pretty good paper cut if you handled the pieces wrong but the pieces aren't really hard to work with. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
