a Nano Glue Rose! Trust me, this is a super satisfying and creative activity for both kids and adults. So, let’s dive in and I’ll show you how I made it step-by-step.
What You’ll Need
Here’s a quick list of the supplies I used:
- Nano tape (clear, jelly-like tape)
- A plastic straw
- Colorful glitters or small beads
- Scissors
- Nano glue (or any craft glue that dries clear)
- A tiny rose mold (optional)
Step 1: Preparing the Nano Tape Bubble
First, I took my Nano tape and cut out a decent-sized strip—about 10 cm long. I made sure the sticky side was facing up, and I sprinkled a small amount of glitter and tiny beads in the center. This is what makes the bubble look sparkly and fun when it’s squished!
After that, I folded the tape in half, sealing it tightly around the edges but leaving a small opening. This part is super important because we’re going to use it to inflate the bubble in the next step.
Step 2: Inflating the Bubble
Here comes the fun part! I grabbed a small plastic straw and inserted it into the opening I left in the Nano tape. I gently blew into the straw to inflate the bubble. You don’t need to go too crazy here—a little puff is usually enough. Once I had the bubble at the size I liked, I quickly sealed the opening by pressing the edges together, trapping the air inside.
Step 3: Making the Nano Glue Rose
While my bubble sat to the side, I decided to add a little decorative touch—a Nano glue rose. Using a small silicone mold I had lying around, I poured a few drops of Nano glue inside. If you don’t have a mold, you can shape a rose freehand, but I personally think the mold makes it way easier and neater.
I let the Nano glue sit for a few minutes until it was dry and firm to touch. Once it was ready, I popped it out of the mold. It looked so pretty—like a tiny clear rose that sparkled in the light!
Step 4: Attaching the Rose to the Bubble
To make the toy more unique, I decided to attach the little rose to the top of my Nano tape bubble. I used a tiny dot of craft glue to secure it in place. I had to be a bit patient here and hold it down for a minute until the glue set.
Step 5: The Final Touches
And that’s it! I now had a squishy Nano tape bubble with a sparkly twist. It looked cute and felt amazing to squish. I love how the glitter dances around inside, and the rose gives it a touch of elegance.
My Experience & Tips
Honestly, I had so much fun making this! I think my biggest tip would be to be gentle when inflating the bubble—blow too hard, and it might pop! Also, don’t go overboard with the glitter because it can make it harder to seal the tape properly.
I definitely want to try making more of these with different decorations. I was thinking about maybe adding some tiny stickers or even trying a different color Nano tape next time. The possibilities are endless!
Why I Love This Craft
This is a fantastic little DIY project because it’s simple and doesn’t require any fancy materials. It’s perfect for kids who love to create and for adults who want a quick and satisfying craft. Plus, the squishy feeling is kind of addictive—I can’t stop playing with mine!
