How to turn BBs into ornaments?
« on: December 07, 2013, 03:40:20 PM »
My daughter has too many BB G4s, and I'm trying to be creative.  I did see some ornaments made out of them at a craft fair, and know that you can use screw-eyes to put in the hook, but do I have to drill a hole first?  Or do I just screw it into the head?

Anyone else made anything out of extra BBs?  I'd love to get some ideas.  Thanks!

I jam a safety pin into the BB's head, put a drop of gorilla glue on the end of the eyelet, and screw it into the pin hole.

I make necklaces out of them! What I do is hold the eyelet screw in a pair of pliers and screw the pony into it, no predrilling needed. Beforehand, though, you may want to tape a bit of string onto the pony where you intend to put the screw, and make sure it hangs evenly. :) Good luck, and definitely show us when you're done!

I have made keyrings from them in the past and the plastic for the hair is nice and soft; as mentioned before you can simply screw an eyelet screw in no problem and with no extra tools required.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

just to make sure, is your daughter aware of your plan for her toys?

Yes, she knows.  It's her doubles/triples of the BBs, so she's okay with it.
