today i'm going to show you some really
cool craft hacks you can do at home
using sugru
sugru were sponsoring this video and
asked me to show you their new creatine
craft kit
if we open it up you get a tin with four
packets of different coloured sugru
this texturing thimble which slides over
your finger
and this texturing brush which we'll be
looking at later
you also get this really nice booklet
which tells you all about sugru shows
you different ways to use it
and contains 16 different projects for
you to try
for those of you who don't know about
sugru it's a moldable glue that sticks
to nearly anything
it feels a bit like play-doh and you can
easily mold it with your fingers after
24 hours it turns into a flexible rubber
so you can use it to fix and make all
sorts of things
i'm going to start by turning these
wooden cupboard door handles into my own
personalized rubber stamps
you need to start by taking a strip of
baking paper
and drawing around your wooden handle
i'm actually making four different
designs
then simply draw whatever pattern you
like into the circle using a pencil i'm
drawing this sort of sunshine design
a heart
this leaf pattern
and finally a paw print
[Music]
next take some white sugru and smudge it
onto the bottom of the handle
then wipe some soapy water over it
and push it down firmly onto a flat
surface to give you a nice smooth finish
[Music]
then press the stamp onto the pattern
you drew to transfer the design onto the
sugru
and leave it to set for 24 hours
i did this with all four of my
designs once the sugru has set you can
use carving tools or a knife to
carefully cut out your design
don't worry if you don't stay exactly on
the line take it steady
and do be careful
once you've finished they're ready to
use
[Music]
so spread out a little paint
[Music]
and try them out
they're really cool and you could use
them to make your own cards
decorate some wrapping paper
or personalize a notebook cover
this pawprint one is quite fun to make
it look like an animal has walked across
your page
[Music]
the next thing i'm going to try is
personalizing a mug
you can buy sugru in all sorts of
different colors so there's plenty to
choose from
i'm going to use this yellow packet to
make a label for my mug
press it on and smooth it out with your
finger
and i'm using a rubber stamping kit to
print on my name
pretty cool huh
so for this one i'm using some grey
sugru to make a gift for a friend
if you like you can use the brush they
supply to add some texture to the
surface
if you wanted to try using the thimble
this is the sort of effect you get
i'm using this kit again to make up a
stamp for my friend
[Music]
when you're done dip it into some soapy
water
and press it into the sugru
it's easy to do and really effective and
it's a great way to make a personalized
gift
for this one i'm sticking on a big blob
of pink
and this time i'm going to use the heart
stamp i made earlier to print on the
design
and i'm using some green sugru to make
stick-on letters
[Music]
if you wanted to play a prank on someone
you could take a friend's mug and modify
the handle to make it really difficult
to pick up
the next thing we're going to look at is
using sugru to make or customize your
own jewelry
i'm going to use some red to fill in the
heart shapes in this pendant
it's quite a fiddly job but when you're
done it looks really effective
we need to leave it for 24 hours to dry
then i'm going to put it onto a necklace
if you like you could make a set of
matching earrings
i'm using a jewelry making kit as a
starting point
then fixing on some sugru and shaping it
into a heart
then hang it up to set
and make one to match
[Music]
if you've got a pretty stone or a nice
piece of glass you want to use
you can make your own holder
and attach a loop to it
sugru sticks really well to most
materials including glass
and when it's dry you can see it's nice
and strong
you can add it to a cord
and fix on some connectors
[Music]
now the pendant has set i'm going to
attach it to a chain
so now we've got our own earring and
necklace set
[Music]

fun and versatile product if you want to
