  Great video! Do you think it matters if you start at the top or bottom first?

• 
  @thesaltyspirit30883 күн бұрын

  I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I just like to start from the bottom since that’s the heaviest part of the project and I like to see how it sits early on in making it

  What drill bit do you use?

• 
  @thesaltyspirit308810 күн бұрын

  I use diamond ball tip drill bits. Between 1.8mm and 2.2mm

  Your tutorial is excellent. Thank you very much. I peeled the two layers off my napkin. I’m wondering why you find this step necessary or better? Also your cat is precious. Thanks again!

• 
  @thesaltyspirit308822 күн бұрын

  The reason why I pull that second layer off is because when I didn’t, many times when I was going to smooth it out, the top layer buckled and the bottom layer stayed! I guess it doesn’t always happen and believe me I know how difficult it is to smooth it out with such a thin piece of material but I just find that it’s better to get all the bottom layers off. And what’s equally as important is definitely using saran wrap or a plastic bag of some sort when you’re smoothing it.

  Hot glue doesn’t last long keeping the shells together, temporarily looks nice but after trying several types of hot glue my flowers don’t stay glued long

• 
  @thesaltyspirit30883 ай бұрын

  Did you try bring very generous with the glue? Otherwise you can always use much stronger glue that isn’t hot glue but would just take a lot longer to dry of course.

  How much sea glass do you think you need for one tree ?

• 
  @thesaltyspirit30883 ай бұрын

  That’s a really good question and actually depends on the size pieces that you would be using. If you can see in the video, all the sea glass that you see I have laid out, that is what I used. If I weighed it, I would guess that it would be about 12 ounces of sea glass. Always have more than you need though. Hope that helps.

  How would you go about adding lights?

• 
  @thesaltyspirit30883 ай бұрын

  You can easily wrap “fairy lights” around the tree. They can be battery powered or usb or even electrical. The fairy lights are so DTN. The tiny lights are on a wire, so you can easily tuck the wire underneath the pieces of sea glass.

  @@thesaltyspirit3088 Yes, I'm walking distance to the beach in my neighborhood and also drive to other beaches along Lake Erie during the summer looking for beach glass. It's getting harder to find as so many people are collecting it now and/or there is less glass being dumped in the lake.

  It looks beautiful! Thank you for posting this video! Question for you, how many ounces or pounds of glass do I need for this size of a tree? How tall is the center foam piece? Also how many sticks of hot glue do I need for one tree? Thank you!

• 
  @thesaltyspirit30887 ай бұрын

  These are great questions! The Styrofoam cone is a standard size of 6 inches in height and about 2.75 inches width at the bottom. I can only guess how many glue sticks one can use but personally I used around five. As far as the amount of sea glass, that is a really tough one. If you’re using fake or real, I would have to guess around a pound of with both large and smaller pieces. I hope that helps!

  Thanks so much for your question. That’s a little bit tougher but there certainly could be a way. Since you’ve already seen the tutorial on how to wrap Seaglass and wire without a drilled hole, you may be able to attach a small jump ring somewhere on the wire, and then connect the charm to that jump ring.
