I haven't purposely put a patina on any, but have left a couple outdoors. It really depends on what you ultimately want it to look like. That's the beauty of art!
Thanks! I've used paint pens and sharpies to color them. If you check out my Instagram, you can see all of the different variations I've made over the years. howells_custom_creations
Local art supply stores sometimes carry it, or you can get it on Amazon. It's not too difficult to cut. I use cheap scissors from the dollar store. K&S 6020 Metallic Copper Crafting Foil, 0.005" Thick x 12" Width x 30" Long, 1 Piece, Made in The USA a.co/d/17tqeIY Thanks for watching!
You can spray the entire rose with a clear spray paint, or something like this a.co/d/fsYuHwU. I've left a number of them uncoated and it gives them character over time. It really depends on how you'd like it to look. Thanks for watching!
@@howellscreations892 yeah, thanks. I had already bought 0,1mm because it was the only one being delivered on time for valentines. Mine doesn't look as full blooming as yours but I think it's still beautiful. On the topic of glue, my coworker suggested to not take CA glue because the copper reacts faster to it, the alternative was epoxy resin glue. I have made a copper rose with thicker sheet copper in the past which required heating and more strenght. I enjoy your version more because I could even do this at home where I have everything except the vise.
Epoxy resin could definitely work, but then you're messing with mixing and applying it. The glue is to help hold things in place while forming it, and not to keep it all together. You can get everything to stay in place just by bending/ forming it into and over itself. There's always soldering as well, but you have to be careful when heating the copper, as it can become discolored very quickly.

I don't know if you still reply to comments, but I was wondering, how did your copper not oxidise? Is it coated with something?
You can spray the entire rose with a clear spray paint, or something like this a.co/d/fsYuHwU. I've left a number of them uncoated and it gives them character over time. It really depends on how you'd like it to look. Thanks for watching!
Here is to hoping that you might still read my question besides the video being over 1 year old. How thin is thin? Is it 0,2mm?
All of the material measures 0.004", about 0,1mm. Hope this helps!
