I Made This Frozen Castle Using Hot Glue And Plastic Bottles

ADVERTISEMENT

In this video tutorial I show you how I made a frozen castle lamp using seven 0,5 plastic bottles, hot glue and glitter. I used dark blue glitter for the door, windows and roofs and light blue, turquoise and translucent glitter for the ice on the castle. Although it seems like a tone of glue it really isn’t (approx 700 grams). I made a thin coat and went in vertical lines so it looks natural. After I had the whole surface covered in hot glue I started adding icicles here and there, under the windows, under the towers and on the entrance. And that’s it! No painting needed for this project. Of course I placed some battery LED lights under the frozen castle and it looks amazing in the dark!!!

Tips:

1. Be careful when working with the hot glue!

2. Have a sheet of paper under the project so you can save the unused glitter

3. When using hot glue on the plastic bottles you want to have a test bottle near by to make sure your glue is not too hot and won’t melt the bottles. Switch it on and off to adjust the heat, or, if you don’t have a switch simply unplug it.

    Hi, my name is Diana and I enjoy crafting, creating fairy houses, mushroom houses, miniature charms, sculpting and painting. I use dirt cheap materials and try my best to make something amazing. So this channel is about all the sweet stuff a crafty mother can create for her children, if she gets the time :) So you'll probably see here a bunch of tutorials about fruit carving, fairy houses, mushroom houses, smurf houses, mushroom gnomes...
