The first rose I made was out of stainless steel sheet metal. I can't tell you how many cuts I had on my hands afterwards. While wandering through Michael's, I found this thin copper and figured I'd give it a try. It's a lot easier to form than thicker metals, and you don't really need specialty tools to do it! Let me know your thoughts in the comments. If you make one, I'd love to see it!
This is the template I started with. It changed some once I started making a bunch to sell, but it works as is ru-vid.com?even... How to Make a Copper Rose

Love your version, looks so beautiful and realistic. Do you ever color them?

@howellscreations892 Год назад

Thanks! I've used paint pens and sharpies to color them. If you check out my Instagram, you can see all of the different variations I've made over the years. howells_custom_creations

@howellscreations892 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Here's a link. I did slightly modify it though. images.app.goo.gl/nTYsiQL1NUrY67Rc7

@wigglestoescutely Год назад

I don't know if you still reply to comments, but I was wondering, how did your copper not oxidise? Is it coated with something?

@howellscreations892 Год назад

You can spray the entire rose with a clear spray paint, or something like this a.co/d/fsYuHwU. I've left a number of them uncoated and it gives them character over time. It really depends on how you'd like it to look. Thanks for watching!

Very nice 👌. Pl may I know what's name of that glue

@howellscreations892 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! The glue is CA glue, more commonly called super glue.

Question: what do I search to find exposed 14 gauge copper wire that isn't smaller strands?

@Fighter4all1 2 года назад

Never mind I found it. Exposed ground wire.

Thanks for watching! Here's an Amazon link Bare Copper Wire, Buss Wire, 14 AWG, 100' Length, 0.0641" Diameter, Natural a.co/d/8Oo9jap

@kf8575 2 года назад

What guage was the sheet you used? 18swg? 22swg?

@howellscreations892 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! The material I use is 36 gauge, measuring 0.005" thick. Here's a link! www.amazon.com/Precision-Metals-6020-Annealed-Copper/dp/B00WVKO1LG/ref=dp_prsubs_3?pd_rd_i=B00WVKO1LG&psc=1

@SOS-03 Год назад

What gauge sheet metal do you use?

@howellscreations892 Год назад

The copper I use is 36 gauge. If it was too much thicker, you wouldn't be able to shape it by hand easily. Thanks for watching!

@paular.1014 2 года назад

Here is to hoping that you might still read my question besides the video being over 1 year old. How thin is thin? Is it 0,2mm?

@howellscreations892 2 года назад

All of the material measures 0.004", about 0,1mm. Hope this helps!

@paular.1014 2 года назад

@@howellscreations892 yeah, thanks. I had already bought 0,1mm because it was the only one being delivered on time for valentines. Mine doesn't look as full blooming as yours but I think it's still beautiful. On the topic of glue, my coworker suggested to not take CA glue because the copper reacts faster to it, the alternative was epoxy resin glue. I have made a copper rose with thicker sheet copper in the past which required heating and more strenght. I enjoy your version more because I could even do this at home where I have everything except the vise.

@howellscreations892 2 года назад

Epoxy resin could definitely work, but then you're messing with mixing and applying it. The glue is to help hold things in place while forming it, and not to keep it all together. You can get everything to stay in place just by bending/ forming it into and over itself. There's always soldering as well, but you have to be careful when heating the copper, as it can become discolored very quickly.
