A few years ago, I made a holder for earrings using dollar store screen sandwiched between cardboard circles with the inside cut out. I glued that onto a base containing a bunch of nickels I had and it really weighed down my earrings holder! I smiled to myself when you mentioned pennies! Thank you for your videos! They are very informative! The next thing I want to try making out of cardboard is a nightstand. I am not an engineer by any stretch but I do hope that my sense of logic will help me! God bless!
Thank you for the kind comment. Putting the necklaces on the base was a smart way to weigh it down with the stuff that it was already holding. Best of luck with the night stand! - Eli
Thank you. (-: My eyelid has gotten a bit better but this video was actually recorded several months ago before it became much of an issue. It just took me a long time to get around to editing it 😅. I hope it heals completely soon. - Eli
I’m trying to make a replica of a gun and I’m looking for a way to make it heavier like a more realistic one and I think these are really great ideas, thanks! If you’d try to do one, what would you use?
That sounds like a fun project, thank you for sharing. I would probably use dirt or sand. It is easy to work with and totally free. However, if you use them you need to make sure all of the spots you glue are completely sealed so that sand doesn't trickle out. If you don't want to deal with sealing everything, you could use small rocks and glue them down so they don't rattle around. I hope this helps! God bless you, - Eli
