Cutting, trimming, or otherwise modifying toys

You can also easily modify glass toy s with the same propane torch tip you bought for the kit in my last post and use a yellow bottle called nap gas. To heat and shape the glass. I highly highly recommend safety glasses and ionly try this if your willing to screw up alot at first. Glass crafting take the most time and patience out of any I've tried. But you dont really need a lot to work with glass on a small scale. You can use a map torch for fine toning details but you'll need a Kiln period . Several incredibly cheap ways to make your own kiln instead of buy those fancy extremely expensive ones. Search youtube for a channel called nighthawk or just search homemade Kiln look for his channel it will be in the first few videos that come up. I have the same kiln and use it for metal and all other sort of materials and it only cost you a empty paint can some kitchen ingredients and you'll use that same map gas torch again. I also have a none gas Kiln that's bit safer. But it is a bit more expensive to craft. Unless you have a old working microwave laying around a cheap thrift store one will run you 10 15 bucks tops. I wont use my kitchen microwave bc how am I supposed to heat my hot pockets if I dont pay attention and screw it up bc I was being absentminded. So your 10 dollar microwave hit the hardware sort up for a medium size standard red clay plant pot with a drain base. You'll have to order the other main ingredient unless you know where to locally find it I couldn't. Hit Amazon up and buy some insulated ceramic wool. It gonna run you about 20 bucks. Once it arrives go grab a couple red solo cups and something to stir with that you'll throw away. Depending on the size you picked for your pot. 2-6 NONE ALKALINE 1.5 NONE rechargeable batteries that have hinse served there purpose and died. Those 6v batteries for the dollar general big flash lights and easiest to use are sun beam 9v batteries. They are dead batteries so they wont explode or anything that's going to hurt you. Just wear safter glasses and some latex gloves. RIP few of those suckers open and collect the inside material in a solo cup. Once you have that simply add drops of distilled water to the material and stir it til it's kinda like a thin pudding. Apply that to the top of your drain base you got with your clay pot and the inside of your clay pot let it dry completely. Drill a small hole if there isnt a drain hole in bottom of your pot. Now to assemble the Kiln. Take the turn table glass out and put a piece of the ceramic wool on it and securely tap it down set your drain base on that. Take more ceramic wool and wrap it around your pot and secure it in place as well not covering the btm hole or the wide opening. And your done. . You can set your glass peice on the plate set the pot over it and just run your microwave like your cooking a hot pockets just watch thru the btm hole now on top to see how warm your glass is getting. You can recycle broken glass bottles this way melts the glass together. of you sit a clay mold with glass in it in your new kiln it will melt and fill the mold . The trick with all glass craft is the part that is dangerous really isnt the heat source its removing the heat source. You must allow the glass to slowly cool down not suddenly and needs to eventually. If you accidentally cool the glass fast it will mostly likely crack instantly which can cause shards of tiny glass to pop off the item. Which is the most dangerous part in my opinion with the working of the material. So long as like my last post you pay attention plan out what your trying to achieve with the material your wanting to use.. and just use common sense and take your time. Like dont grab a red hot butt plug you just got done pour into your mold with your bare hands. Or mixing chemicals you dont have any idea how to read directions and google what the proper method is with using any material your looking to use .
