This tutorial shows my dragonfly decoration project. I wanted to find a way to create some dragonflies by upcycling plastic boxes and sculpting with hotglue.
Additional materials I used are:
Glass colour, acrylic gold and bronze colour, thin brass wire for the body base, legs, hook and some nylon string for the flying dragonflies
My first intention was to use plastic for the middle body parts too, but the plastic melted too fast under the hotglue. So I changed my mind and used brass wire instead. It is much safer and more beautiful too. I would love to know if you like how the dragonflies turned out. Just tell me in the comments. I wish you all a beautiful and creative crafting time.

Has anybody tried cutting the plastic with one of those soldering irons that has a cutting edge on it? Asking for the severely carpal tunneled types whose arms start aching at the mere sight of chopping through plastic with conventional scissors.

Well done. Thank You for sharing. Dragonflies have been a symbol of importance to Me and My Sister now passed, since we were children i in the 1960's. I will definitely be making these. 👍😊🙏

If you don't actually want the plastic to go matte, sharpie ink can be removed with rubbing alcohol without affecting the plastic.

Love this! I’m going to try this with some homemade gallery glass (clear Elmer’s plus watercolor or food coloring or acrylic) and see how it goes ❤

These are beautiful! I wish I was patient enough to make some (and that my physical disability didn’t affect my hands)!

Beautiful 😍 I would like to make these. Dragonflies are the state insects in Washington. I have one that comes to my back patio and flies in place and will just stare at me 😅
