Trash to Miniature Treasure - Recycling Blister Packaging

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I really love how these turned out! And great ideas for other ways to use blister packs!

[@barbarakaywhite5166]

You are so clever I am regretting not looking at discards more closely

[@maggiehughes4283]

Woohoo tried your idea for using blister packs. Lots of fun. I painted them white and added blue around top of ‘pie dish’. Sadly I brushed some ModgePodge over, and it made blue acrylic paint smudge. Never mind, I can try again. Such a lot of fun and so realistic.

I never thought of using plastic from our medicine, great idea. With painting on plastic, I have one paint bottle with some black paint in it mixed with wood glue. I use this for my base coat on plastic ,metal, and glass. I never have a problem.

I am not clever enough to think of ways to use trash as treasures but I am very good at copying other peoples' ideas! I love the metallic paint jobs, too.

I've been saving a few blister packs to make something miniature with and this is exactly what I needed for inspiration! Thank you for the video

Just a thought, if you are interested. I made my own muffin tin in play scale using pony beads glued to chipboard to make a mold I used heavy foil on. It worked great. I'm betting for 1:12 you could do the same with smaller beads. You could even use hotglue if you didn't want to use foil. Just a thought

[@queencityminis]

That's a great idea!

[@minb1217]

Fantastic idea! I throw out blister packs every week. Will now be opening them carefully and re-purposing them. Kicking myself because I never thought of this idea!

[@thegothicunicorn1536]

I try not to dwell on the things I have thrown out that I now realise I could have repurposed but I do like finding new uses for waste.

[@releasingendorphins232]

Wonderful. Excited to get creative. Thanks from Oklahoma, Barb

[@WeTalkAboutSpaceships]

So happy to have come across your channel. Thank you kindly for all your insight.

[@thegothicunicorn1536]

You are welcome. I try to show the stuff that I couldn't find myself.

[@georgecunningham9175]

You clever boots! I now see dozens of possibilities for this type of disposable "trash". Hmmmm, how much medication would I need to take to build up a complete dinner service for 12, including soup bowls and demi-tasse??????

[@sandraford4235]

Good ideas ,with the little pie dish you could cut it out with a bit of a brim to look more like the pie dish ,x

[@JohnJacobSchmidtt]

I use the blister packs as little food containers..... I feel the containers with fake food, and then I get a garbage plastic wrapper of some sort in a hot glue it on top let it dry and then carefully cut them and then paint the top. The top would be that plastic you glued on, and I've made red and greens and white containers. They kind of look like lunch meat containers.

[@kawaiiko7813]

Wow!! Brilliant!! What a *wonderful* idea! Your painting is spot-on!! I don't know what they could become, but I'm wondering if you could use the blister packs as moulds? Bravo!!

[@releasingendorphins232]

Great Idea. Thanks from Oklahoma, Barb

[@pamelabrown3489]

These are very clever ideas and so economical thanks for sharing XX

[@thegothicunicorn1536]

Glad you like them

[@tinykeyholeminis]

These are great!🤗 I just uploaded a video using these and I didn't know they are called blister packs. I Also used the pull tabs from cartons to make some decorative dishes..I love how the tier tray came out ..I favor the metallic copper with black under as well.. I just like e that effect!🥰 Thank you for sharing your miniature visions!!!

[@marlenebezuidenhout1192]

Hi, if you take a nail buff and remove the shine from the plastic the paint won't peel of.

[@thegothicunicorn1536]

Thank you. I knew I needed something fairly gentle but abrasive and those never came to mind.

[@haubenmeisewillow-tit331]

Everything small and beautifull takes time! There are Miniaturen artist who use 5000h for one piece of 1:2 furniture! The joy is in the making, in honning your craft! ❤ Beautifully done!

You can get the little scissors in manicure sets or sewing section. Of the store

[@edwinacoffman6429]

I love turning trash to treasure!

[@jennyspence-g3l]

The scissors are bonsai shears I have some they come with a bonsai kit if you want more 😊

[@BejaVue]

Fabulous!❣️

[@recoveringsoul755]

I don't get blister packs for any of the stuff I have. Shoot. Maybe the dollar store has something, or other people's trash

[@jude1515]
