Title: How to turn BBs into ornaments?
Post by: 808pony 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.

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

They are good to make into Christmas tree decorations too!

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