Glue Gun Art

Hello! This post is not clay related because I have something interesting to share with you!
This crafting ideas is very easy and simple. It does not requires any high prices art supplies or anything. You can use basic crafting tools such as glue gun. Does your mom love to make a jelly or pudding? Be nice to your mom and ask her to borrow the mold just for a little while.

This is glue gun. Buy a cheap glue gun that works fine.
You also need to purchase the glue stick if you don't have it.
Just make sure, do not touch the metal part while you heat it and when it's on.
It will burn your skin! So be more careful ok? :)


And this is the mold! I actually bought it at supermarket for 36k rupiah. 
This silicon mold is resistant to heat so you don't have to worry it will melt or something.

So basically you just pre-heat the glue gun for 2 or 3 minutes until the glue starting to came off the tip. And then carefully press the glue gun (the orange pedal) to bring out the melting glue. Be careful the glue is hot too! Carefully aim to the small part of the mold first. For example if you choose the rabbit mold, make sure that you aim at the ear until it's covered nicely and get the right shape and then aim to the head while pressing. It will take about 10 minutes to cool and you can peel it off right away. It does not sticky to the mold at all! 

And here are the result of my creation! :)

 Paint it with acrylic paint and seal it with gloss, and it's done!!
You can screw an eyepin if you want to make this as a charm too.

Good luck!!
