1. Sparkling Ring

You will need:

  • Ring base
  • Hot glue
  • Glitter

How to do it:

  • Place a small amount of hot glue on the ring base and let it dry.
  • Apply hot glue again and let it partially dry. Before it’s fully dry, press it into the glitter.
  • Once dry, remove the excess glitter.
  • For an extra touch of shine and a sealing layer, you can apply clear nail polish over the glitter.

2. Colorful Keyboard

You will need:

  • 3D Pen
  • Keyboard

How to do it:

  • Use the 3D pen to draw straight vertical lines on the keys.
  • Repeat on all the keys you want.
  • Allow to dry thoroughly before using.

3. Watermelon Fan

You will need:

  • Multicolored 3D Pen

How to do it:

  • Use the 3D pen to draw triangular watermelon slices.
  • Once you have eight slices, stack them on top of each other and connect them at their narrowest part to create a fan.

4. Ring Holder

You will need:

  • 3D Pen

How to do it:

  • Begin by drawing an oval and gradually increasing its height.
  • Then, using the same technique, create five cylinders and place them on top of the first piece to form a hand shape.
  • Allow it to dry thoroughly, and once dry, you can place your jewelry on it.

5. Robot Cutie

You will need:

  • Phone charger
  • 3D pencil

How to do it:

  • We’re going to remove the USB cable from the charger plug; we’ll only need the plug head.
  • Next, we’ll start drawing vertical lines from one end to the other, covering the entire surface.
  • With horizontal lines, we’ll also cover the top and bottom until the plug is completely covered.
  • As a final touch, we’ll add a screen resembling the face of our friendly robot and let it dry thoroughly.

6. Plug Cover

You will need:

  • 3D pencil

How to do it:

  • We’ll start by drawing a “Stop” sign and outlining the circle with the 3D pencil.
  • We’ll fill in the circle with vertical lines, making sure to leave the space in the center free for filling with another color.
  • Once the sign is complete, we’ll let it dry, and after it’s dry, we’ll flip it over to work on the back side.
  • We’ll trace a new circle and repeat consistently, giving it height to create a circle with the same diameter as our plug so we can place it inside.

7. Seahorse Comb

You will need:

  • 3D pencil

How to do it:

  • Draw or print the comb design you want to create.
  • Using the 3D pencil, start by outlining all of its edges. Next, fill its entire surface with parallel straight lines.
  • Form the comb tooth by passing the pencil four or five times, line over line, to make them sturdy.

8. Classic Hat

You will need:

  • 3D pencil
  • Circular bowl

How to do it:

  • Place the bowl upside down and start encircling it with the lines of the 3D pencil.
  • Begin from the upper center and gradually move downward until you reach the base.
  • The bowl should be entirely covered.
  • Now, working directly on the work surface, we’ll horizontally extend the rim of the bowl to create the brim of our hat.
  • Allow it to dry thoroughly before lifting it off the table surface and using it.

9. Elegant mask

You will need:

  • 3D pencil
  • Base mask

How to do it:

  • Over the base mask, use the 3D pencil to draw the outline of the eyes.
  • Then, start creating doodles, making sure to cross the lines as you go.
  • Now, connect the central part between the two eyes and continue expanding the eye contours as needed.
  • Allow it to dry thoroughly before removing from the base and wearing.

10. Hot candy

You will need:

  • Hot glue gun
  • Candy sticks

How to do it:

  • It’s important to emphasize that in order to carry out this craft, the hot glue gun must be completely clean, whether it’s new or reserved solely for this purpose, but with no residue of glue.
  • Just as you would with adhesive, insert the candy sticks into the hot glue gun and use it to design whatever you like.
  • Allow it to cool thoroughly before lifting off the work surface and consuming.
