Christmas Star with Bicycle chain

-

Hi Friends....Coming is Christmas.So let us welcome Christmas with our creativity. Here in this article, I am going to describe about making a Christmas Star with a bicycle chain.

Step 1: What to Do....

I used an old bicycle chain.
I put it in a plastic bottle and put some degreaser to it.
Shake the bottle and leave it like this for an hour.

Step 2: What You Need...

1. A bicycle chain
2. Chain tool ( to take out the little pin )
3. Plastic bottle
4. Degreaser
5. A jig to keep the star in place
6. CA Glue
7. A string or a piece of wire

Step 3: Lets Get Started

To make the Stars.... your chain has to be 5 chain links long
Lay the chain into the chain tool and screw the pin out the chain link.
After the chain is loose you make a loop and put the pin back into the chains links.
Use the chain tool again.
Now you have a loop of 5 chain links.

Step 4: Lets Make the Star

Lay the chain on the jig between the pins. So that you can fine tune your star.
Is your Star looking good .... use CA glue to hold the chain links together.
Wait till the glue is dry and your Star is ready.

Step 5: The Finishing Touch....

Make a small loop from a piece of wire to hang the Star in the Christmas tree.
Hope you enjoy making it.

Home Made Cold Cream

oil I've always liked cold cream for washing my face because I have fussy skin and it's always worked better for me than anything else, but a few years ago, the regular drug store brands changed their formulas and some of my many unspecified contact allergies started flaring up. I tried to find a replacement, but everything that looked like it might work for me was really, really expensive, so I found some old cold cream recipes and started experimenting with making my own. After making a whole bunch of batches and trying different ingredients and techniques, I ended up with this basic recipe for simple, non-comedogenic cold cream made almost entirely out of inexpensive ingredients you can get at most decent sized grocery stores, at least in the US. The only thing I couldn't get at my grocery store is beeswax. Here are the ingredients you'll need: Oil . I use sunflower oil because it's non-comedogenic, it's cheap, and you can buy it i

How to make a high quality stamp out of your favorite logo or symbol. You will need the following materials: Speedball 6-Inch by 12-Inch Speedy-Carve Block Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1 which contains a straight bits & gouging bits 5 Minute Two-Part Epoxy Scrap wood for handle Polyurethane spray and finally an ink pad! Step 1: Select a favorite symbol or logo to use as a stamp Start by selecting a few black and white logos, symbols or other emblems that you would be interested in having a stamp of. It could even be some text. Just try to avoid an image with very thin lines as these can be difficult to carve, and can bend/collapse under the pressure of stamping down. Using an image editing program or even MS Word, create a black background and arrange them to appear side by side. Having the black background helps a lot when transferring images to rubber sheet. *Note*  There is no need to mirror/reverse anything as they will st
