DIY Dragonfly - Decoration Idea - Upcycling of waste plastic

This tutorial shows my dragonfly decoration project. I wanted to find a way to create some dragonflies by upcycling plastic boxes and sculpting with hotglue.
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.

🥰 Thank you so much! Glass colours are just the type of colour, there are several brands on the market. These colours are especially made to paint transparent materials (glass, acrylic and so on). I use water based ones here. But most times I prefer the solvent based ones. The colours are more brilliant and less runny.💖

The black acrylic for the wing structures is from Swingcolor, the metallic paint is from Modern Masters (Gold and Bronze) and the glasscolours are from Marabu (Petrol, Cherry, Orange, Amethyst, Sunshine Yellow and Light Green). Solvent based glasscolours are less runny but the waterbased ones worked here quite well. 😊

These are really, really lovely! I am terrible with tiny paintbrushes, so I think I'll try using fine point Sharpies for coloring the wings, since I have lots of colors of those. And did you know you can run crayons through a mini glue gun? Might be a good way to make the body/head a solid base color, and then you'd just have to paint on accents.

❤ Thank you so much! I used waterbased glasscolor this time for the coloured parts, for one of the dragonflies I used a bit of non transparent golden and bronce acrylic colour. And for the backside transparent varnish (only neccessary if the plastic became dull by the nailpolish remover). To be honest I normally prefer solventbased glasscolour, but I still have some of the waterbased ones, so I still use those from time to time. 😊
