I know there are way to melt it to itself or using a 'holt melt' type of product (but not actual hot glue). IDK what you'd have available in Japan though.

PET doesn't have many bonding agents to its name. It's the reason you see it used in bottles and recipients so much (bonding would imply it can be melted chemically, so that would be bad if you have many chemicals melt it). One method, that might work, that's clean, would be to heat bond it. You'd need to get one of those model making irons (they look like a soldering iron with a tiny clothes iron on it instead of the normal sharp end) and a piece of hardwood that's shaped as the triangle you want to bond. You place your (to be bonded) pieces together, get some kapton tape over the side you'll touch with the iron, then press them together. You need genuine kapton tape tho, not the cheap stuff you find on fleabay (if it melts from flame, it's not kapton tape). The iron would also be good to flatten the edges from the scissors. You run it on low heat over the edge and it will melt it just enough to make it less fuzzy. To test if your PET sheets will behave, you can take a knife you don't need (like a butter knife you might want to throw out) warm it up with an open flame then press two pieces of PET together against a piece of hardwood. Mind you, the hardwood needs to be sanded smooth with rounded edges. Any grain or defect will transfer to the PET film in the final product. Conversely, the kapton tape is there to stop the iron from melting the PET on contact before it has a chance to melt between itself, but it might not work at all as a result. For the test, you could (in theory) use some aluminium foil, but i've never tried it with foil myself, so i don't know that it would work. IMO, the sewing method you showed in the video is probably the best option, using fishing line and premade holes using a hot needle. Once you're done, it should be pretty invisible. One last method that might work, is once more tied to heat, but in a different fashion (and it's a bit more involved). You'll have to carve (yourself, or ask Jun) the flower shape you want, out of a piece of soft wood. Not balsa, maybe a less dense pine. Once it's smooth as a baby's bottom, you can do vacuum forming (using the PET). Making a vacuum forming box for a small project is super easy, and you have plenty of tuts online for the entire process. You can also 3D print (via an online service, or if you know someone with a 3D printer) the shape you want, so you don't have to carve it. You can check Adam Savage's channel here on YT, he has several videos showing a good, easy to follow method to make your own vacuuformed items. With vacuuforming, you won't need to do anything else other than cut the petal from the main shape. To give an idea of how simple the whole affair is, i made a vacuum forming table out of a sturdy cardboard box, a piece of plywood with many holes drilled in it and a junky vacuum i found at the recycler's place. Cheap and easy if you only want one project. And for a sheet of PET film that thin, you won't need to put it in the oven, a regular heatgun will do. Good luck!

So glad to see a video today. Weirdly I thought I was missing a friend or friends. Haha especially the cats! After 4 tries with different water fountains I finally found one my cat is relatively satisfied with. For now 😊

my cat refuces to drink from a bowl or a fontain she loves drinking from the aquarium outlet🤣(I have a 540L tank) and I figure hey as long as she is drinking . When we go to visit Nan she has a glass on the kitchen counter, it has to be a glass if it´s a bowl she ignores it.

@@hypnotherapy69 I always love people with finnicky cats cause mine are such gremlins. I have three and they all like to shove their face/head into the food or water bowl at once. They prefer the dog's water bowl but he always chases them off.

They sure will. Feline paradise ✨️ 🐱🐈🐈‍⬛✨️

and forced exercise as I become a chonky cat (as cats with good and caring owners do)

Waiting for the Jun's Kitchen response diss video

I think it's more jun is good at learnt crafts and Rachel is good at intuition crafting, another reason they are a good pair. ❤

Jun? What about me? She stabbed me through the freaking heart i don't understand people who are mechanically inclined

Rachel used Vicious Mockery. She crit so hard that Steven He shouted "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE" on reflex and doesn't know why.

@@killerkittycat13 I think you're right on the money. She did it so intuitively she couldn't articulate how she did it, so she said, "common sense."

Yes, it really reminded me of those toys that he loves, I'm certain he thought it was an upgraded version of it! Very pretty, hope he'll not try to catch it!

I agree. That was my first thought too. While he was up on the ledge, staring at it, I wondered how long it would be up before he tried an attack.

yess yes yes, make him a toy with the leftovers

Just distract him with saran wrap and everything will be fine 😆

Hopefully Rachel uses the leftovers to make some DIY cat toys

I'm not familiar with the material so I don't know how much heat you need so I'm curious: do you think the warmth of the lamp could warp it over time?

@@Diskuli if the lamp gets to 120C or 250 F then it could but otherwise would be perfect for this project if it can be shipped to Japan

@@Diskuli I think an LED bulb would be totally okay with worbla, since those dont put off too much heat :)

@@Diskuli good question! You usually use a heatgun to get the desired heat, so I reckon if the lamp isn't on for hours on end it should be fine.

I was wondering about this! I think also she would have liked it better with slightly larger petals, since they would encompass the bulb more. I wonder if alternating layers of holographic film with a sort of frosted transparent worbla would give the vibe Rachel was aiming for. I might need to try it now.

creative vision maybe?

​@@pocchakkoShe was in the Navy

​@@yesphrog8446I think it might've been the air force. but i dunno if that's really related

I would say my spatial awareness is pretty low, which is why I had to play around with the posterboard mockups to figure out how the different shapes and whatnot could go together. 😅 I keep thinking during all these projects that everything would be so much easier if I had paid attention in Geometry... But the good news is you can brute force geometry conundrums by smashing shapes together in real life! I'm basically like the adult version of a toddler with blocks.

\That's how art works! Just smash stuff together and call it art! Especially if the cats stick their paws in!

How many guest will enter the upstairs bathroom in general? For most probably only Rachel. The downside is she is also the one using it everyday. So if it would bother her that would be a issue as she will most likely remember her self that fact everytime.

You don't understand, those two pixels change the whole image!

Wow! Coming in the clutch! I'll remember this for future reference haha. I love human collective knowledge.

This is really cool! So in theory you could make a little hole at the base of the Peter’s between the layers and that’d cool fused to themselves!

Same! I loved that little description 😭

D||||| 드림 Rc! HUABXUBGf*&*

Two married ring doves live outside our house, they're so big that I laughed the first time I saw them. A fun fact is that their nests are described as 'shoddy' on wikipedia lol.

I agree.

I agree!! She was so hard on herself, and it broke my heart each time

They used the gameshark code for cat villagers only

The second one we planted was either a Hass or Pinkerton! I can't remember which, but I remember Jun did quite a bit of research on it at the time. Thank you for the info!

@@RachelandJunAdventures Awesome! Wishing you a great day and many tasty avocados 🥑 in the future 👍

@@RachelandJunAdventureshopefully you also have a lime tree (or two!) to go with said avocado trees for all your future guacamole needs!

In the video it looked like the top of the root ball of the Avocado tree was planted quite deep ( with the top of the root ball being deeper than the ground around the planting hole. . . I have always been told that trees should be transplanted so that the top of the root ball is at soil level, and that planting deeper than that causes the roots to grow toward the surface and eventually strangle the tree. Could you please give your opinion on this?

@@marcusa3177 Lemon works just fine for guacamole.

Yes, we're still stuck in caves drawing on walls and so it's okay that companies get to steal art and everything else and the people they stole from starve...

Exactly this! When she said that, I wanted to just remind her that she *did* have an original thought, it was just her own and by her own volition. Just because someone else made something similar and she wasn't the first to think of it, doesn't mean it's not 1. Original to her, and 2. Freaking amazing and very creative! It' snot like copyright infringement; you can't copy someone if you never knew they did it before you did! As someone who loves all things art, and has delved into many mediums both hands-on, and on paper, Rachel needs to hear that it's not that much common sense and more her skill as an artist. Now, that doesn't take away from how talented she is, & how second nature it is to her; rather, it really shows (especially to Jun!😂) how creative and skilled she is. It would prob take me quite a few tries to come up with flower petals that looked that good with how she bent and slightly folded them in on each other. I would be sitting there trying to cut the petals a little wider to account for creasing the paper and hoping it keeps shape!😂 Everyone is creative in their own ways, Rachel, and you absolutely have a talent for all the crafts, DIY, and decorating work you do!

this + also really liked the paper prototypes with light on, that was just such a warm light

I'm mid-20s and while I dont like sparkly things myself, I start to realize thats it's cruel for us to ban ourselves from innocent things like rainbows and sparklies... If it brings us joy and it hurts no one, I dont see why we zhoyld bhamed for it because it's "childish".

Yeah we got a fountain for my cat and he completely ignored it for about eight months until we rearranged some furniture and it ended up on a bottom shelf cross from his bed, and now he uses it to drink all the time. It can be a while!

You can try and get white or non stainless water fountain. A professional once told me that's something cats will see there reflection in the fountain and won't like it.

We once had a cat that, like Poki, loooved to get into anything we humans were using, so we actually tricked her into drinking more water by leaving a human drinking glass on a table near the couch where she could easily get to it and pretending to forget about it. Boom, as soon as we took our eyes off it, she would slurp it! So we changed it every day just like a normal cat water bowl and it worked great!

@@86fiftyjust like cat parents, 😹

i'm truly grateful that my cat looooves water, lol. i don't have to trick him, i just need to refill his water bowl from time to time because he prefers semi-cold water. he probably drinks more water than me 😂

Or rivets if you wanna get fancy

"It's always a good day when _____ posts a video." is a comment I see on a lot of videos recently. Is this a bot thing?

Aww, I hope you'll feel better soon!

Thanks for the info! I'm really relieved to know it's not quite as scary as it sounds if I'm just working with it briefly 😅

Bean-chan is named Rin :)

fr i see a vid from them and everything gets a little brighter
