Hot Glue + Soda Cans = Gemstones!
Instead of using resin and store-bought bezels, let's make charms and gemstones using hot glue and soda cans!
Lots of shapes and colors are possible, so it's a useful idea for cosplays, jewelry and more.
Yes, resin is awesome, but it can be expensive, hard to get or tricky to work with. So let's see what we can do with hot glue!
I learned a lot myself making this video. Soda cans are an underrated crafting material and it turns out they work well in combination with hot glue.
This is almost like a part 2 to my previous hot glue charm video:

Hide your mistakes with glitter 🎶 Words to live by
Hehe indeed 😆✨
Everything's better with glitter!
I absolutely live by these words ✨
Fun stuff. Word of caution though - that step where you run your thumb along the thin metal strip to shape it? Don't do that. Put a wadded cloth or something between your thumb and the strip, so it gets sliced up instead of your thumb. Voice of experience here.
Good point!
Whenever I'm making anything from cans, I use a nail file/emery board on the edges - just to take that sharpness away. Doesn't take much, just a few quick runs down each edge makes all the difference. Sharing in case it helps anyone else 💕👍
@@t-and-p спасибо! Мне ценно! Я ещё ничего не пробовала делать из консервний банок. А очень хотелось бы
Thank you!

I like the multiple options you always have to do things, as well as the detail that goes into your work.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it 😊
You are clear, precise, and hilarious! Thanks for showing us. 🙋🏾♀️
Hehe, that's very nice to hear! Thanks for watching ☺️
Great, easy-to-follow tutorial and with such impressive results! I really have been seeing so much resin and acrylic blocks taking over all these craft spaces but I just can't get it or justify buying new craft supplies and to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of it. This is such a good and nice-looking alternative. :) Thanks!
Thank you very much ☺️ I totally agree! I'm glad you like it 😉 Thanks for watching!
That is sooo simple, yet so creative ! I've been drawing gemstones for a week on my sketchbook because I'm weirdly obsessed with them for some reason, your video appeared on my youtube page at the right time 😂💎
Haha! I'm slightly obsessed with them too 😉
У каждого, как говорится, своя песня!
Oh boy!!! Im so happy your video, popped up. I love these crafts, but I don't want to work with resin. What a awesome idea, and thank you. Looking forward to seeing, more of your creations. 😃
I'm really glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 😉
So amazing! The way you make the gemstone-like stuff looks simple and worth a try. Thanks for sharing the video!
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for watching 😊
Very creative. I hvnt seen any clear glue sticks so I’m glad u showed the cloudy painted 1’s. Will def’nly help in bejeweling my Carnival costume.
Cool ☺️ I'm glad you found it helpful!
Thank you! Much appreciated ❤
You're very welcome 😊❤️
I use resin and wire but I love this! I might even get some glitter and coloured blue sticks from somewhere to use x
I'm glad you got some inspiration!
Resin is the way to go. This is bad advice. Hot glue will never harden like resin nor hold it's shine over time. For a one-time-only wear item, this could be okay.
I am so glad I found this. It maybe the solution to a piece of a costume I am planning out for my daughter.
That's awesome! Good luck 😉
Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for watching! :)
Fantastic! Thank you.
You're very welcome! 😊

Just subscribed because I loved your tutorial and your sense of humor! Thank you for the video!
I'm glad you liked it! Welcome to the channel ☺️
this is so amazing! easy and cheap craft with fantastic result! thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you liked it 😊
I'm a jewelry making and I prefer using the real thing, IE real gemstones, real glass or crystal beads, etc. for my jewelry. HOWEVER, I love your idea for using hot glue and aluminum cans for charms that might get a lot of handling or weathering. There are projects I wouldn't want to use the real thing, for example where I live it's extremely windy. Looks like something like this technique would be perfect for sun catcher charms for outdoors. I won't have to worry about the wind shattering my expensive real crystal or fancy glass. Thanks for sharing this terrific idea!
I agree, nothing beats the real deal, but it's nice to have cheap options 😉 So I'm glad you like the idea ☺️
Great idea! They turned out really nice
Thank you! 😊
what an awesome ways to recycle aluminum cans. Thank you for this video.
You're very welcome!
Love love love the creativity
Thanks a lot 😃
Just found your channel and I love it! 😎💖 You have the whole package - creative, accessible ideas (using materials that are easy to find), explained clearly and concisely. Best part for me, though, is your sense of humour and relatability. Please never cut that out and make your videos too "slick" - your jokes and bloopers are what make you stand out from other channels. We normally get informative or funny, whereas you give us both. Easiest choice ever to sub! I look forward to discovering more awesome ideas on your channel. Wishing you all the best 💕👍
This comment is the sweetest! 🥰 I shall never stop making stupid jokes! Honestly I'm having more fun that way too. Thanks for the wonderful encouragement 😄 Welcome to the channel and all the best to you too ❤️

Thank you for the lovely comment Barb. Welcome to the channel!
글루건과 소다캔만을 사용하여 저런 작품들을 계속해서 만들어 내다니 당신의 실력이 정말이지 놀랍다. 보면 볼 수록 굉장히 아름다운거 같다. 이렇게 멋진 공예품을 손쉽게 뚝딱 만들어 내다니 정말이지 대단한 실력이 아니할 수가 없다.
감사합니다! 정말 친절하시네요.

I love the idea I’d personally use resin instead because myself and the hot glue gun don’t get along. Burning myself and stringy. I do love them and envy you’re that good with hot glue!
Oh thank you! I would like to try it with resin sometime as well :)
Muy buena tu Idea ❤

This is so brilliant fun hack and Game Changing to make money. Thank you so much from Thailand.
I'm glad you find it useful! Lots of love from Europe :)
Does the hot glue stay firm and solid when the jewelry piece is out in the sun? Does heat affect the glue later on?
