FINALLY!!!! A PERFECT ICICLE TUTORIAL! I am BEYOND excited to make these for Mommas house and mine as well. I better get to gluing if I want enough for this holiday. THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Blessings to you from the Great Pacific Northwest, Lakewood, Washington!!!
I recently watched a video with a person making Christmas decorations with a glue gun and I was blown away ,he just used the gun made his design on a plastic mat then when it was dry he just pulled it off and made an awesome decoration .
I've seen people do that too, and in many ways it would be easier. But I personally don't like how flat the glue strips become when just doing them directly onto a mat.
What a super idea. I wanted my icicles thinner than yours. Having a mini glue gun helps. I had some translucent Christmas packaging. Looks like angelina fibre but not heat resistant. Got some really lovely effects with this. Tried too with actual angelina fibres and made a fine mess. The fibres were too short. Works better to encapsulate them within the clingfilm. I also used a Rangers heat gun which really helped to get the glue running. I mention Rangers because they don't blow as fiercely as the DoCrafts ones, which likely would not work as well. I'm going to experiment more with embossing powder and glitter. Thanks for inspiring me :-)
To save on time and how much hot glue that would use, you might want to use clear cellophane or some other more rigid clear plastic as the base, just to form more of a structure for the hot glue to initially sit on. I did this to create a sort of icicle staff pretty effectively, so I think it should work for you as well.

I loved this idea since the beginning!. Not toxic at all and very realistic. You're smart!😃
Wow! Those are amazing, and your crown is GORGEOUS!
Excellent explanation, nicely done! Thank you!
Wow, your icicle crown is gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much! I'm making icicles for my miniatures and i couldn't figure out how to do it. I can't wait to try it out later!
i used my icicles to decorate a winter village i got for by birthday, you really helped me.
Awesome! That's great to hear!

Does this method work well for large icicles? Say I wanted large ice spikes on my arm, how well would this method fare?

@@Melissakeetinphotography thx
This must be the material that the icicle from the spy is made of!
Can this be glued to a surface to create a snow scene for modeling without it deforming in anyway?
Yeah, as long as you make them solid enough and don't stick them near hot lights.
I just realized I commented on the wrong video! But thats good to know as well! Thank you!
I'm going to make a water bender cosplay
Can you do this with a box I need to make a ice block box for a guy I like so we can "break the ice"
This is perfect for my Snow Miser Cosplay
