New craft

Post by tuckpage »

ok was not sure where to share this but I found these neat tools called hot wires. they cut styrofoam like
butter. So this is my 2nd project I have done with these I LOVE THESES things. I cut letters out with my
cricut and then traced them on the styrofoam then used the hot cutters.
Ok I have 9 mo till my dd sweet 16th, but I have started tonight working on decorations for the party.
she wants to have a "sweet " decoration theme; candies, cakes, cookies, pies ect. So everything will look
like it can be eaten! I made this mirror decoration because what 16 girl does not want to look at herself!
all the candies are made with stryofoam that I cut with my hotwire tools and glued to a base that
I cut out of styro foam too. Actually the whole thing (except the mirror) is made from foam it is
supper light!
I just keep thing of the posibilites with my cutter and the hot wires!

I had one of those tools years ago (may still have some where) It was battery operated and I loved it it ran off 2 size D batteries.I loved the way it would seal the Styrofoam leaving no mess Before the tool I was using a knife blade in a jig saw to cut.

Where did you get it at and how much are they running?

Great job! Extra credit points for getting such a great "jump start" on this. I would've waited until the night before. lol

Thanks for all the coments

The chocolate coating is just brown paint, I used the hot glue gun and drizzled it on top to look like extra
chocolate and then painted it
