How to Make a Glowing Jellyfish (DIY)

[@CaylisGrenouille]

I recommend using a thin layer of cooking oil when doing forms and shapes on surfaces with hot glue. That way it's a lot easier to peel them off!

[@HowtoArtist]

Nice. Thank you.

Hi!! Do you know which kind of LED's were used? Was it a specific one or can you wire any LED strip?

[@ntl964]

Thank you but to late 😫

I get you guys are giving him constructive criticism, but at least say something _good_ about his piece. You guys are finding negative things about what he did when his artwork is amazing! No hate, but all the comments are saying things wrong he did. Just pointing that out, have a good day. PS: Your artwork is amazing! It’s incredible how this turned out!

Nice suggestion.

There's such thing!?! 😑

[@MYODB-NOW]

Absolutely wonderful! You are amazingly creative! 😊 thanks, so much!

[@leopaget-blanc3109]

Thanks for sharing. But I have a question, which kind of product do you use (some kind of glue) to make the jellyfish ? Which kind of support do you use? I mean, a support that doesn't stick to the glue (first the bowl, then the paper)? Thanks for your time and your answers! Cheers

[@HowtoArtist]

I am using hot glue gun sticks to make the flesh of jellyfish and for the tentacles, I am using parchment paper so the glue does not stick on it. I did not apply any release agent on bowl but it was hard to get it off from it. So I will suggest you to apply Vaseline or Cooking oil inside the bowl. Make sure to apply two layers of hot glue to make the structure strong. If you have more question feel free to ask.

[@s.d.hargreaves9939]

how is that the hot glue is 'rubbery' after cooled? is it a certain type of glue stick?

[@Sara11614]

@@s.d.hargreaves9939 If you peel hot glue off of a surface it will be rubbery like that. To my knowledge all hot glue has that rubberized texture to it.

[@novemberflower7027]

Great idea of yours~Thank You for sharing with us all!!! If you have time to answer, I'm wondering whether there is a way to turn on/off the LED strips once they're secured inside the jellyfish and if not, do lights remain on once all is sealed up? Also, if LED's can not be turned on and off once piece is finished, is there a way to wire so that the connection's slightly protrude from the bottom of center jelly "tail"...so that you'd be able to twist the wires together and apart /turn lights on and off from the outside?

[@HowtoArtist]

I always have a time for my subscriber and nice visitors like you. These LED's can be on/off easily by switch button. Please have a look at video from 2:50, I have encapsulate a long twisted wire in glue this is the main wire which is connected to all LED's . Finally I have connect the 12 volts adapter to this main wire and plugged it to switch.

[@RoeRoe123]

@@HowtoArtist I see you push the power wire in from bottom but when you turn it over there is not battery pack hanging so where is the battery pack? When you flip it there's nothing on top?

[@twocatsatlatitude3180]

This is pretty cool. I think I would use fishing line to attach tentacles so they freely move. Otherwise, well done.

[@Moonbaby88]

It would be great to have some specific details. Ex where did you find the bowl to use as a mold, the led lights, how many glue sticks, was it parchment paper you used??

[@theresahoff2239]

Same here...

[@Koo_katboots]

Were you or what brand is lights.

[@absru]

I know you've been great about responding can you share what kind of led lights you used and the switch. I'm having trouble trying to decide which ones from Amazon would work.

[@lillianroself]

wow. that looks amazing.

[@sandra010383]

The glue that is white or transparent?is so beautiful. congratulations!

[@HowtoArtist]

It is transparent glue but when we make thick layer of it then it become opaque.

[@danielasuarez7250]

How would you hang this from the ceiling? Did u just make a hole at the top of the lantern?

[@HowtoArtist]

I have made a half loop like a "n" letter with hot glue on parchment paper and peel it and stick it ends on top of lantern with hot glue. Finally pass a thread from a loop and hang it.

[@gregdurbin6900]

Really Cool! What about the wiring? Did you add extra wire to the strips or did you draw it out of the strips

[@HowtoArtist]

Thanks. I have combine positive terminal (red wires) of all wires with each other and same with negative terminals (blue wires). Please have a look at video from 2:50, I have encapsulate a long twisted wire in glue this is the main wire which is connected to these two kind of wires (red and blue). Finally I have connect the 12 volts adapter to other side of this main wire and plugged it to switch.

[@MyKsandr1]

Идея интересная, но: 1) не раскрыта тема того как медуза будет фиксироваться в пространстве - нет ни одного крепления - и это упущение (конечно те, у кого работает соображалка придумают сами, но тут дело в том, что раз вы делаете крафт, то нужно доводить его до логического завершения); 2) всё это можно сделать из прозрачного силикона - это будет дешевле и прозрачность у него выше чем у термоклея, а значит медуза будет выглядеть более реалистично.

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

[@mayankkumarsingh1200]

Canu plz mention the material requirement for making it?

[@HowtoArtist]

[@mayankkumarsingh1200]

u r using a huge amount of glue gun for making one piece of it can u suggest me some alternative of glue gun as I m thinking for making it in large no.

[@HowtoArtist]

Yes we need lots of sticks to make it. I don't have any alternative in my mind. You can also try glow in the dark glue gun sticks so it will glow in dark without LED lights. Keep in mind, apply some cooking oil inside the bowl so when you take it out it will come nicely and add two layers of glue in the bowl to make it strong. Apply second layer after the first one dries.

[@merlecustodio1733]

How many glue stick for 1 jellyfish..tnx

[@HowtoArtist]

I can't remember it but I think it was near about 30 sticks.

[@sarahkelly-rose1703]

did you spray anything in the bowl before hot gluing because when I tried it the glue got stuck and all broke apart.

[@HowtoArtist]

I'm sorry if it happened. I did not spray anything in the bowl but I had applied TWO thick layer of glue (apply one layer and again apply second layer of hot glue) which I have forget to mention. So when I pull it out it was not broke because of it thickness. After reading your comment I have searched on internet and found that some craft's maker apply oil in shallow objects before hot gluing to make such thing easy to pull.

[@k8c687]

What kind of light strip is that and did you apply glue to it to form a tentacle?

what is this glue ???

[@colapopcherrysade]

What’s a good substitute to make it glow?

[@HowtoArtist]

Good question. Unfortunately I don't have any substitute in my mind.

[@ShotgunAndAShovel]

Try using a good glow in the dark paint or pigment. A REAL black light will charge it. The lights are probably cheaper though!

[@sassyNot4u]

I'd do a glow in the dark paint as suggested, but if you're making a small version you can buy cheap light up toys at the dollar store and steal the lights and on/off switch. Just hot glue it where you need it.

[@mayrakopjansen2814]

Awesome tutorial

[@HowtoArtist]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bennyford9537]

did you have to get wire to connect the led strips?

[@HowtoArtist]

Yes, First i have connect (solder) the black wire with negative and red wire with positive terminal of each LED strip, then I combined all red wire together and did same with black. Finally connect the positive terminal of adapter with red wires and negative terminal with black wire. I hope I have understand your question correctly If not please ask it again.
