Mini Glue Waterfall
In this instructable, I made a Mini Glue Waterfall using hot glue, colorful small stones and other materials. Different types of adhesive tapes were also used in making this project. Hot glue is a versatile material that can be used in various ways. One of the characteristics of hot glue is that, once it dried looks very similar to water and this makes it perfect for creating mini glue waterfalls dioramas.
Material Required:
- Old Plastic Sheet (size = 23.5cm X 17.5cm )
- Colorful Stones and white stones
- Hot glue sticks (total = 4)
- Different Adhesive tapes:- Double sided Adhesive Tape, Masking tape, PVC electrical Insulation tape(Black)
- Adhesive Paper Glue
- Thermocol box (size = 23.5cm X 17.5cm)
- One Blue LED light
- One 9V Battery
- One 9V Battery Clip Connector
- One ON/OFF Switch
- Shrink tubes
- Wires
Tools used:
- Hot glue gun
- Soldering Iron
- Wire Stripping Plier
- Measuring Scale
- Scissors
Waterfall Preparation
Take a plastic Sheet (size = 23.5cm X 17.5cm and thickness = 2.5mm), which is translucent type or you can use a different material. I got this plastic sheet from my small junkyard.
Start your glue gun and insert a glue stick in it. Place the plastic sheet on a rough surface. First, glue white stones on this plastic sheet in elliptical shape or in circular shape.
Glue two layers of the white stones in the same manner and then glue colorful stones over this layer. In this way, three layers of stones were made.
For the waterfall, on one side glue the colorful stones in such a way that 8 large stones glued at bottom then 7 large stones over it and so on until you get 3 small stones at the top.
Now fill the area covered by the stones with hot glue in circular shape start from the centre and expand the circles as you move away from the centre. After dried, it seems like water waves.
Now take a plastic sheet, make a shape of waterfall of hot glue according to height of glued stones. After the shape dried remove it from the plastic sheet.
Now glue the one end of waterfall shape to the top of the glued stones and the to the water waves.
Add two stones at the top after gluing the waterfall shape.
LED Light Base (Part-1)
First, Make LED Circuit according to the Circuit Diagram using One Blue LED light(operating voltage:- 9V to 12V DC), One 9V Battery, One 9V Battery Clip Connector, One ON/OFF Switch, Shrink tubes, Wires and Soldering iron.
LED Light Base (Part-2)
Now make a Thermocol box of size = 23.5cm X 17.5cm or you can use a plastic box. Paste the LED light at the centre of Thermocol Box with the help of Double sided adhesive tape and in the same manner paste the 9V Battery near the LED light. Paste the wires inside the box with the help of Masking tape.
The ON/OFF Switch is glued at the corner of the box. Now Paste a translucent sheet over the box with the help of Adhesive Paper Glue.
Assembling All Parts
Put the Waterfall part over the Thermocol LED Light base. Paste the Waterfall part to the Thermocol box with the help of Black PVC electrical Insulation tape.
Working
Your Mini Glue Waterfall is ready! Switch ON the LED Light that’s all.
Hope you like this Project. Thanks for Watching.
