DIY Guitar Picks TUTORIAL (Customisable)

[@kendarr]

People this is not to save money, this is to have fun building something

[@metalheadgirllilith-chan1015]

Finally someone said it

[@unknown_558]

It's just that I can't go outside.

[@kendarr]

@@unknown_558 I said that because there were a lot of people saying that this was more expensive then buying picks

[@panic007]

ım not funny

[@SSn0wx]

Why bother to decorate them if they are just going to disappear in the first 5 minutes?

[@straightchlorine5331]

Not if you take good care of it and remember where you place it

[@icouldbedoingotherthings5199]

SSn0wx because this is trendy and easy to market. No one cares about the guitar pics look. As log as it works

[@angellou]

SSn0wx true :v

[@hayliesturrock3507]

SSn0wx omg so true

[@whateverwhatever8617]

SSn0wx so true

[@frayedsanity29]

Aren't the picks a little thick?

[@EmMelody]

They are a bit thicker than the common plastic ones you can buy, but this hasn't affected my guitar playing in any way. In fact, these give more stability because the plastic doesn't bend. There are picks on the market that are a lot thicker than these :)

[@ZanDaMan_]

Daniel Santos dragon hearts picks are still the best imo but this is still a great idea. I'm just really picky😆

I do, but I never use picks😂 they just make it harder for me

[@johnnyrob80]

@@aquajasper do you know haw to play or dose it just sit in your room

[@aquajasper]

@@johnnyrob80 no, I play it lol I just use my nails instead oop

[@kolinhodgson]

Cool idea! Guitar picks are usually beveled on the pointy end and sharp edges taken off all the way around. You can do this with fine grit sandpaper after it's cooked.

[@2kawaiipotatoes884]

Guitar picks are like hair ties.. they get lost easily ..

[@monke3548]

That happened to me also thats why I was surfing the internet

[@risindiherath9753]

I agree

[@steveno.8248]

To find free guitar picks, look in the clothes dryer.

[@panic007]

They dont, Davie504 steals and destroys them

[@BUYXRAYS]

just put them all in plastic bag. Works for me

[@elisaklein9779]

I was kina of looking for the picks where you just give pointers for decorating, but this is great!

[@jpadilla132]

Or just buy one for a dollar...

[@rya3190]

Jorge this isn't robo cop...

[@christianroy3426]

Where is all the fun in that???

[@Erisponsible]

The whole point of this is to make your own CUSTOM pick

[@andreworozco4479]

Eristically_Timid Two great minds think alike

[@lucassurgeon4122]

A dollar! These are like a dime each!

[@funnybunny3605]

Thank you so much, I wanted to make my boyfriend a guitar pick for Valentine’s Day and now I know how!☺️💞

[@velvetreede8530]

Oh boy, why do this if I can just reach in my guitar and find a good 10 lost picks laying around

[@adiv197]

[@kevinc1968]

Looks cool, could use it for other things too like a necklace or a tag for a pet. Looks like fun to play with the shrink plastic.

[@frhneil1463]

Whoa already have a pick but definitely will do one as a necklace! Imma bringing guitar vibes everywhere!

[@yellowdood8445]

Woah dude this is straight up AWESOME never would've thought you can do something like this KEEP IT UP !

[@pamcarr4003]

What a great idea! This just popped up on my list of videos, glad it did, good job! Thanks for sharing. Pam

[@henryz3119]

How long should I bake them for?

[@keyursolanki5650]

Seeing a lot of comments in chat, depending on the thickness of the pick depends on your preference of playing. I personally use think picks for rhythm and thinner ones for lead. Same can be said about string gage. Thicker strings will keep a tune longer but thinner ones are better if you like to bend and slide up and down the neck. But if the picks are too thick, sand the edges dowm to get the tip of the pick to your liking. Also make sure you sand it anyway just to get a nice edge so it will make playing a little easier. Hope this comment helps

[@SkittleBoy-pl7ni]

A good idea but quite expensive, you might as well use old hotel cards

[@eldrigevalenzuela1555]

SkittleBoy3000 yes yoir right

[@princedoughy8648]

Eldrige Valenzuela *you're

[@autoexplore3260]

Or for free you could rob a bank for creditcards (that are not activated/usable ect.) and use them

[@mrflibble1259]

Very cool, definitely gonna use this to make picks with my favourite album covers on them

[@bellayourfella5504]

WOW YOU ARE ACTUALLY A GENIUS

[@abigailtsang6176]

It’s Abi from Sparsholt! I love your work! 😃

[@RadminLan031302]

This are so good as a keychain or maybe any other accersory. Honestly, this won't work for guitars but its rlly creative! Thumbs up for that!!

[@chlo.rin.e]

My fiance plays guitar and just loves music in general, i want to make some cute picks for his bday coming up. I dont think they will actually be used but he will love the sentimental idea behind it. Do you think itd work if i doodle something on paper, glue it to a plain pick and then seal it with modpodge?

[@ZakuBlk]

very nice and pretty cool. a little sanding require to make them usable but very cool idea

[@gabrielvelasco8870]

just is impossible to play with this picks

[@user-my8qj]

gabriel velasco why?

[@rosux5540]

tbh you can use anything as a pick

[@user-my8qj]

R o s u x not really, sizes and thickness matter and has an effect for the guitar sound

[@rosux5540]

@@user-my8qj you can still use anything as a pick

[@DeborahBergenbeaderreader]

I think it’s cool ! I love art in any form! I ran across this video while I was searching for some idea on making a sterling silver guitar charm! I made one out of wire that came out awesome! But I want make it out of sterling sheet ! Maybe 2 dimensional with sides!

[@maliqatiiii]

Cool btw where do we get shrink plastic again?

[@jemzomaclain]

This is a really smart idea!

[@Kristina-nh6gy]

Can someone tell me if it was paper or plastic he put in the owen to make the plectrum and the other thing? Pleas?

[@KatySantos]

Beautiful idea, I love it!

[@hmhe7386]

0:23 IT LOOKS SOOOO SATISFYING

[@fundeathwmass]

correct me if im wrong but of its too thick couldn't you jusr sand down the back so its thinner.

[@nishangosavi4242]

This is brilliant😀

[@euangreg]

Hi, loved the video but how long should I put the shrink plastic into the oven for. I know it varies in what shrink plastic you get but what would be an average time for it. 🙂

[@EmMelody]

Hi there! If my oven has been pre-heated beforehand (to the setting on the packet), I usually leave them in the oven for around 1-2 minutes (it doesn't take too long!). If I don't think they've fully shrunk, I do sometimes leave them in there for a little longer :)

[@nitroxylic]

i prefer the bendy picks for strumming power chords, but thanks, this is awesome!!!!

[@williamkelly3412]

How long do u bake it for, and they missing in the first five seconded of having them :)

[@sameedstien6118]

Too much effort for a pick that doesn't sound any good.

[@nickparkin8527]

picks don't determine the sound, you do.

[@NoName-fc5qd]

nick parkin That's true. They probably mean they don't work that well.

[@rya3190]

how do you know this pick doesn't "sound good?"

[@sameedstien6118]

It's just way easier to buy a pick punch.

[@sereypedro]

nick parkin I think picks really determined the sound, of course you too, but the quality, thickness and a lot of things about the pick matters

[@HACKERSInc]

Can you explain... HOW THE FRICK CAN YOU BAKE PAPER IN AN OVEN WITHOUT IT BEING BURNED???

[@roking6648]

Where did you get the plastic from?

[@riff_tastic]

How many seconds/minutes does the plastic shrink?

[@simoncuadros5353]

with what material you put on the hot part

[@lizethbeltran26]

And also love the designs

[@hanifnada17]

You don't have use ruler on your computer. There are size edit on the top right at "layout" submenu

[@risindiherath9753]

How much time should we bake it for

[@jinnahabit8105]

How long did you bake these? And what did you place in the oven beneath the pick being cooked?

[@evanhall2375]

Where did you get you shrink plastic?

[@EmMelody]

I got mine from a DIY/craft store, but I'm sure it's easy to purchase the plastic online too :)

[@evanhall2375]

Thanks and what did the package look like

[@EmMelody]

It depends what brand of Shrink Plastic you buy, although they all look like card and the package is flat and in plastic. The brand I buy is called "Shrinkles", although I've heard it being called "Shrinky Dinks" in America. :)

[@Supernidyastar78]

Evan Hall Just recycle plastic #6 usually the food clear plastic food boxes like cakes, roasted chicken hot dogs, or the big Subway sandwich containers are plastic # 6 I never, never buy shrink plastic. you're welcome 😂😘

[@megasabbirknot2319]

This is amazing

[@valtterim4168]

What is magic paper and where can i get it?

[@thegoatgotmilked373]

Nice idea, but are they pratical? These pics look a bit too thick and not streamlined.

i like dunlops though. how do i do this with nylon?

Well it's not exactly what I was wanting, but still really cool! Wonder if it works cause it does seem a little thick anyway really cool, I was just wondering if there was a way to customize the pick I already have cause I hate the color

[@Kristina-nh6gy]

I think this is pretty cool...🙂 I maby think that they are a little bit to thick for guitar plectrums but still very cool 👍

WOW thats awesome !! how many time must spend in over ?

If you don't have the right strings, thick picks WILL damage your guitar strings.

[@jamiecee4960]

My Brother is building something for his Guitar. Maybe I should make him a pick. lol. Don't have that kind of paper though. Looks like fun to make. Those are pretty cool I have to say. I so wish he got to open up for Aerosmith back in the Day. It would of been so cool. But his band broke up before it happened.

[@mjcanuel2359]

Whats the materials

[@ayalaxamana5448]

I think its better, if you'll use it on a bass guitar.... or its still too thick for that

[@sawer]

Sand them down for more flexibility, more playability and better feel. I think you did an amazing job though

[@tylermiritello4730]

The thing is, the pick is useless, for a guitar it is just way to thick, so it would be better for bass but, the edges are not round so a coin would do the same for this piece of garbage.

[@rhiannebassett1133]

iamsecretlyemo it's not a big deal, literally just file a curve into the bottom of the pick

[@buggs6692]

I've seen thicker picks

[@panic007]

"would be better for 🅱️ass"

[@swayam333]

How it got small

Narrator: thnx everybody the story has ended at 0:08 Lol

[@warriorgaming9643]

hey how make you paper card

[@EmMelody]

Hi, I don't think you can make this type of plastic. I have seen people using plastic from certain packaging, but it's probably best to buy a branded shrink plastic which is designed to be cooked in the oven :)

[@SykesFW]

what is shrink plastic?

[@sou_desu8587]

what if i dont have an oven?

[@whyamihere384]

Or go on amazon for 33p buy a pack of blank pics and decorate them with sharpies

from whereeee?

Well that thick pick will damage your strings specially for heavy strummers
