Magical Curiosities I love these. I’m going to make 1. I’m going to start thinking of a concept & gather crystals to use. I really want u to try ‘dust crystals’ they use them on nails kzbin.info/www/bejne/omeof5Kebp5nhsk Is the link for a nail tutorial using them 😍 this will change the game for u. Luv ur work

[@christinemcdermott6526]

@@magicalcuriosities7062 great videos/ new subscriber here!! What high end brand black paint do you use?

[@kenschwall]

Try spraying them with Clear Sealer, after you are done. It will help keep the paint in tact, & also keep the glitter from chipping off.

[@magicalcuriosities7062]

[@krystalaurelia7128]

So happy I found you!! I have some crystals with bead holes that I didn’t want to use in any of the bracelets I’ve made so now I know what to do with them. Amazon has strings of similar Angel Aura quartz in various colors, and the string you receive has a lot and they vary in size. I believe they are only $12-$14. I recently found that color shift paint at Walmart for 99 cents, I love it.

[@magicalcuriosities7062]

Wonderful! I love it. Good luck on your wands...although 2 months ago...you've probly already made them...i hope it went well for you

You could seal the stones with latex before spraying. The remove the latex when paint is dry. I love this tutorial. Thank you

[@magicalcuriosities7062]

Great tip! I've done this method since this video and really like it for really special wands. it's pretty time consuming too though so there's that to weigh in method decisions. I mostly use a bit of tine foil now days for most style wands

Love the wands. Living in a southern state I wonder, though, how they would survive (or not)in a hot car in summer?

[@mumtaz7006]

Is this wand a black magic

[@magicalcuriosities7062]

I wouldn't leave it in a hot car, but ive switched to only using very high temp black hot glue, the kind for automotive dent repair. It would likely hold up fine in a hot car, but still wouldn't risk it if you spent a lot if time or money on it.

I understand the process, fast easy simple... I recommend using free form air 2 part blend... In place of the hot glue. It will stand up much better over time. You can actually sculpt instead of rushing the glue. Just a thought.

Hi ..I been watching your videos all day lol I've been trying to find a video on how you got the bigger Crystal's like the amethyst ones ..how do you get those to stay on ? Or did you have a hole in those too ...I've been trying to find some bigger Crystal's with holes as well but no luck so far ... TIA

[@magicalcuriosities7062]

Oh, these amethyst chunks are from a bead strand. BUT if you bring tge glue up over the top enough that there's a physical hold, you don't need a hole. Think of a ring...there's either prongs, or a round bezel folded slightly iver to keep in the stone. Do the same with the hot glue.

[@magicalcuriosities7062]

thank you! i'm so glad you appreciate the details. I can be a little wordy for some ppl sometimes. haha. I'm currently on a quest to figure out the very best primer and sealer. But so far I am really loving Mr Super Clear (matte) as a sealer. it's pricier though and only online. I haven't encountered any issues with matte spray paints meant for plastics like Krylon. Just do think coats and let dry for a long time before coating again. one heavy coat just mucks things up. I have also used nail polish, but it doesn't go on very easily or quickly. and i dont know the long term effects. I always use a matt primer regardless of using the black glue too. just as a primer to keep the gold on well. i do think spray paints are better if used correctly, They actually kind of melt the plastic a tiny bit making it litterally bond with it. but not all act the same and theres little info out there about hot glue painting. they also take longer to dry and obviously can't be dry brushed like acrylic.

What about other color glue sticks? Wouldn't any color work?

[@magicalcuriosities7062]

yes. Black is a really good base coat for metallic colors to really pop. I still do a matte base coat, its just nice to start with a good base color glue too. You can certainly use any color you like. I generally just use black and white automotive hot glue anymore. the softer craft types just don't take paint that well. The exception is mini glue sticks for detail work.
