In this new video series I am setting out to reuse items that would otherwise end up in the trash and use them to create miniature treasures. For more follow The Gothic Unicorn on Facebook / gothicunicorn.1536
I am not clever enough to think of ways to use trash as treasures but I am very good at copying other peoples' ideas! I love the metallic paint jobs, too.
Fantastic idea! I throw out blister packs every week. Will now be opening them carefully and re-purposing them. Kicking myself because I never thought of this idea!
Just a thought, if you are interested. I made my own muffin tin in play scale using pony beads glued to chipboard to make a mold I used heavy foil on. It worked great. I'm betting for 1:12 you could do the same with smaller beads. You could even use hotglue if you didn't want to use foil. Just a thought
These are great!🤗 I just uploaded a video using these and I didn't know they are called blister packs. I Also used the pull tabs from cartons to make some decorative dishes..I love how the tier tray came out ..I favor the metallic copper with black under as well.. I just like e that effect!🥰 Thank you for sharing your miniature visions!!!
Wow!! Brilliant!! What a *wonderful* idea! Your painting is spot-on!! I don't know what they could become, but I'm wondering if you could use the blister packs as moulds? Bravo!!
You clever boots! I now see dozens of possibilities for this type of disposable "trash". Hmmmm, how much medication would I need to take to build up a complete dinner service for 12, including soup bowls and demi-tasse??????
I use the blister packs as little food containers..... I feel the containers with fake food, and then I get a garbage plastic wrapper of some sort in a hot glue it on top let it dry and then carefully cut them and then paint the top. The top would be that plastic you glued on, and I've made red and greens and white containers. They kind of look like lunch meat containers.
Everything small and beautifull takes time! There are Miniaturen artist who use 5000h for one piece of 1:2 furniture! The joy is in the making, in honning your craft! ❤ Beautifully done!
