@@dr.rajasaurusandunclebonec6526 Death Crypt of Duncan at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills On July 13, 2012, Duncan was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center after suffering a heart attack.[21] Media reports suggested that his girlfriend, Omarosa Manigault Newman, had tried to save his life by performing CPR.[22] Duncan's publicist, Joy Fehily, issued a statement on August 6 that read he was moved from the intensive-care unit but remained hospitalized following his heart attack.[23] On September 3, Duncan died in Los Angeles.[24] In spite of a family request, no official autopsy was performed.[25] Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter believes that Duncan likely had cardiac sarcoidosis, and that the condition was the probable trigger for the actor's fatal heart attack.[25] (It has been established that Duncan had general sarcoidosis, which he likely contracted while working for a gas company in his early twenties.[25]) Seven months after his death and according to his family,[26] Omarosa was under suspicion for changing his will and testament.[27] They also claim that Omarosa manipulated Duncan in his final days, lied about her engagement and sold his belongings without the family's knowledge.
No need, the can already had a layer of extremely good lacquer on both sides to prevent corrosion, nothing you can put on will be as good as that as a primer.
As in looks... Yes. As in Not Fragile... No. the bought one is more sturdy then the can one.. But you could always step up the process to use thicker aluminum for the leaf and maybe coat it in epoxy for a bit more durability.
Really good work! If I could make a suggestion; Don’t worry about the color for the paint initially, just finish the scratch work to get the leaf pattern on it. Once you’re there, I really think it’d be worthwhile to make a mold of it. The scratches should be deep enough for silicone to pick up. From there you can cast it in epoxy, it’d be far stronger, still light, and if you ever break one you can quickly make another!
I like that idea actually! What I do like about the soda can method is that you have actual metal, which is hard to recreate with most paints. But your idea would make a nice sturdy brooch too and many of them if necessary 🙂
That's a great idea! You could also fill in the back of the metal one with resin rather than hot glue -- that way it's still metal on the outside and it's harder/more solid :) (Thx for this tutorial btw; it turned out lovely!!)
@@Randomona Happy you liked it! And if you want a resin part that looks metal, I'd also suggest using aluminum powder. You can use it in three ways; You can put a very thin layer in the mold when casting and it should stick and make the face of the part look metal. You can mix it into the resin for a darker and not as shiny effect. Or you could rub n' buff it onto the surface and clear coat it for the best result, imo. If you end up giving this a try you should post a video!
Fantastic tutorial! Very well explained/shown and the end result is gorgeous. As a long-time crafter, I have ONE ever-so-important piece of advice for those new to hot glue that might take a shot at your project... BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN APPLYING HOT GLUE TO METAL OBJECTS. Seriously. It WILL get hot enough to burn you (yup, even with low-temp hot glue guns) and it'll hurt like a sunnovabitch. Learned this the hard way when I first used hot glue on tin foil... ;___;
@@Randomona No worries because here it's an aluminium can, and aluminium doesn't conduct heat, that's whay it's so used in cooking and crafting. You should still be careful but also use a low heat glue-gun, your fingers will thank you :) (by the way, really cool video, thanks a lot !)
@@anne-florelecozic3890 I usually don't enter in "Actually..." discussions in YT comments, but that "aluminium doesn't conduct heat" better be trolling, m8, because ALL metals are actually very good heat conductors. Even more in thin plates like that.
Looks great! The two only recomendations that I would make is #1, use sandpaper lightly to remove the paint form the can's front, and #2, to use a single piece of wire for the vines/stem. The single wire would take only a little more work, but it'll look cleaner, and and more structural rigidity.
I love this. And literally my favorite line is just: "And give some to friends so you can find them when orcs kidnap them. You never know." XD Great video, and I'm certainly going to try this out!
I did this bc my wish broche didn't arrive in time and it looked SO much better! No one could believe that I made it myself and I received loads of compliments!
Fabulous idea! I think that if you roughed up the metal w/ a nail file, that first layer of paint would probably stick on better...also I might hide all the wires and such with a strip of black felt to keep it from snatching at skin and clothes as well as make it look 10x fancier for very cheap. =3
Thanks! I have tried using a nail file before - it was too stiff for me, maybe with something more flexible like a sandpaper sheet it works. Felt sounds good 😉
What I like best about this tutorial, is that ist uses stuff most crafty people already have at home (the only thing I had to get was green paint), you don't have to get 300$ supplies or specialist tools. I did a crafty evening with by bbf, and we're the most glamourous hobbits in the town now.
Good tutorial, thanks for the idea (and I read the text, so thanks for the bow). Just an advice for new craft people, don't use the scissors you use for fabric or paper, eventually the metal is going to ruin them for softer materials. Label the scissors you use for metal to avoid any confusion.
"it has to be an Assassin´s Creed Can" - The way You delivered this joke, definitely earns you a Like... And the content of Your video has earn you a new subscriber.
I am definitely going to try this! But I don't think it's a good idea to use clear nail polish to seal it. The nail polish will eventually turn yellow and probably start peeling off (taking the acrylic paint with it). There are shiny, satin and matte acrylic varnishes (water-based, for covering paintings) that you can find in any craft or art supply store (or online) that will stay clear and not break down. My other suggestion is to use two-part epoxy glue (found in any hardware store/section, easy to find in small tubes) to glue on the wires. It will stick better in the long run than glue gun glue. There's actually a lot of work that goes into this and you want it to last.
i dont recommend using white glue to seal the paint. White Glue are normally used for wood and paper, and works the best with them, however they easily peel off any smooth material such as plastic and metal. I really love this can embossing idea tho! Can be used for other designs as well. :D
You're probably right. Maybe it will stick because the paint makes the metal less smooth, but I've not tried it. Thanks, I hoped this would give people ideas for other projects as well! ^^
What can I say. That is amazing. I did one for my daughter. I used CA glue and epoxy putty to connect and fill backside. It looks slightly better but I even wouldn't think about starting without your tutorial. Thank you very much! ... and you have so natural, beatiful nails.
This is amazing! Little trinkets like these are always the ridiculous but necessary pay-gates to costumes from epic fandoms. I mean, it really adds that special touch to be wearing the leaves of lorien, or the evenstar, or the one ring. I love this diy and I think I might steal your techniques... I bet a lot of other cool things can be made from embossing cans!!
Thank you for making this video. I have stockpiled aluminum cans & had searched for things I am capable of making out of them. Your video helped a lot!!
I made one when i was a kid, its cool to see a diy project AFTER you finished it. I used steel wire for the outlines, veins and loops, it kept its shape quite well. I filled it with this "vitrage paint' for making pictures to stick on windows etc. I was quite proud, now im surprised that i was a diy enthusiast since so little haha
Just to confirm, this turns out beautiful. I tried it step by step and it turned out amazing. Awesome tutorial. The only hard part is finding a pen that doesn't work.🙃
Frodo saying "its done.." all dramatically caught me off guard amd made me laugh I was also happy that you painted the back silver, I was thinking, "if she's not going to do it then I will!!"
@@Randomona I know I'll have fun with it. Thanks! And I've just read a few of your kind replies to other comments. You're a good person, and you've got a new sub.
I stumbled over this video a while ago when I didn’t even knew the lord of the rings and I still thought it was beautiful. I was now wondering about what to get my friend for her birthday and since we now have both read LOTR and are fans now, I’ve found the perfect gift! I’m so glad that you made this video and that I remembered I saw this once. Thank you!!
What a great budget way to make the brush and it looks so good and legit. I need to ponder for a bit because I'd like to make one that didn't use a safety pin and functions more like an anular broach
also at craft store or even hardware stores there is clear coat spray in a can and it comes in a variety of different materials that will coat and seal much better than nail polish
Das ist einfach nur der Hammer. Ich verstehe nicht viel englisch, aber der deutsche Untertitel hat es mir sehr erleichtert deine Anleitung zu verstehen. Die Brosche werde ich auf jeden fall nachmachen. Danke.
thank you for a great video! the instruction are super clear and you make this craft very accessible. I've gotten a ton of compliments on the brooch I made!
Great job. Just a suggestion, after you have done the hot glue gun but before you paint it, you could use two part epoxy to really give it strength. But great work.
Never watched the movies but the thumbnail was too good. Watched it all the way and loved it... I don't believe I will ever try it, and that's how you know your content is gold .
Gollum is the one who disliked this video... Franchement je trouve que ton tuto est hyper bien fait, que ce soit au niveau du matériel qui est très simple ou des explications très bien détaillées ! Hâte d'avoir tous les éléments pour fabriquer la mienne ! 🧝🏻♂️💚
Hahaha, made my day xD Merci pour le feedback très gentil et détaillé Une Chauve-Souris! :) I am glad you like it and hope you have fun making your own!
Very nice video! I was going to make this out of foamboard, and when I googled references, your awesome video popped up. Great work, thank you very much!
All in all, an excellent work. A few tips: 2:40 tip: it's better to use a wider tool for this task, if you don't have an embosser tool you can always use a smudger - I actually prefer that one. 3:10 tip: you're supposed to NOT to use the soft backing when going over the "right" side of embossed lines to give them more definition, but do it over a hard surface instead - so it actually flattens back all the un-raised areas instead of raising them backwards. Yes, in both things you CAN get it to work your way (as your leaf shows), but it's MUCH easier the right way. :) Source: I was raised with that stuff (mother was embosser), currenly teaching my own children. 6:35 tip: If the wire is too easy to bend, lightly hammer it a bit (roll it so it doesn't flatten) beforehand. That work-hardens it a lot. 9:34 to 10:02 tip: If you use green colored hot glue instead of clear one and cover the full back (you can carve and flatten any excess with a hot knife or spatula), the back instantly looks much more tidy :-D
Beautiful! Do you know you can use nail tools for embossing? The pointed ones. They are very cheap. But your idea is excellent! The result is marvelous! 🍃🍂☘🍂🍃
Yusri Maggot Thank you for the suggestion! I don't know if I will make one because I already made a necklace following this tutorial: www.craftsy.com/jewelry/patterns/evenstar-pendant/144915 It turned out pretty good so I don't think I can make a better one. But maybe one day I will try another method :)
Yes, it's indeed common practice to fill the whole of embossed metal so it doesn't cave in. The traditional way is a 50/50 mix of beeswax (for flexiblity) and pine resin (for strength), but hot glue works exactly as well. It's a tip I'm actually gonna use myself for small jobs like this one.
Oh nooo... nail polish will chip away and turn yellow with time. Other sealing material would be better - preferably ones made for crafts, as they will last much longer
Thanks for the hint - I haven't seen any chipping or yellowing after 1-2 years though, so I think as Undomaranel said, for a lot of people nail polish will be the easier option
this was so handy! I've been wanting a pin but the bought ones are so expensive and not terribly accurate, but the one I made following your video turned out so well! thanks! :) your instructions were so easy to follow too.
Beautiful,I've made a few similar ones myself.but I do a few things different.I always sand the edges,cut metal is extremely sharp ! I also low temp solder or use a metal to metal epoxy glue,rather than hot-glue,which tends to snap off easily. But beyond that,super cute & a project most anyone could do at home :) Thanks for sharing.
@@Randomona NP at all chickie,any lil bit of help I can offer.I've been doing/teaching crafters for over 30 years.I LOVE seeing & sharing "How-To" craft videos that ppl can watch & actually DO,esp ones w/the bonus of using recycled materials,as you did !! Craft supplies are SO expensive & yet I see crafters all the time throwing out so many things that can be used to make gorgeous jewelry or other projects.Theres too many crafters that put out these videos,saying anyone can do them,then halfway through you find out you need all kinds of specialised equipment to make the project. O,btw,another"recycling" tip for you,save the wire from take-out containers,esp Chinese food.It's also 1mm wire,but usually half hard or hard wire,so it's great for jewelry projects like this...but you can also temper (harden) the wire you're already using (There's a pull-through holed plate made especially to do this,that can also make wire smaller gauges,but this works as well)by running it through nylon-jaw pliers a few times...or put wire on a surface and hammer it some with a leather/plastic mallet..and for non craft wire,a bit of heating w/a pencil torch (or held w/long insulated handled pliers & heated over gas stove burner,lol) Keep making fun,beautiful things,sharing & being fabulous !
I totally agree with you :) I saw some DIY "tutorials" where they basically said: just buy this and that expensive thing and put it together. What's creative about that? So it's nice to find like-minded people who like recycling as well! That advice for the wire is really interesting, I will remember that, thank you! Stay creative and awesome as well! 🙂
great job, Randomona! Two small suggestion from a miniature painter. Prime the leaf (white, grey or green) before applying acrilic paints. Seal the deal with glossy varnish before matt one. These steps don't cost you a lot of effort but will go a long way to protect your awesome work from scratches.
I finished my 7th brooch today and after testing different methods, I recommend using only one layer acrylic paint and already mixing that paint with a little water. You can scratch much more precisely. Roughening up the metal before painting is not necessary if you paint it that way. PS: AND YES NEED 7 ONES WHAT ABOUT IT
I am trying this right now as a first draft! Gonna make this as a birthday gift for my LOTR loving partner😁 he will adore it. Thanks for the tutorial!!
Great job! That looks really great although I would definitely fill them with something on the inside Back in 2003 for friends' cosplay at the movie premiere I engraved a couple out of 3mm thick sheet alu, each in one piece including veins, grinding in areas around them. I painted the green with translucent paint for painting glass. I read that the originals were silver had got enameling, i.e the green was melted glass.
