DIY Ferragosto Jam badges

Last week I was at Ferragosto Jam music festival, so I made these badges with this year's logo. The festival takes place on the first weekend every August next to Orahovica lake in Croatia. This is its 11th year and it lasts from Wednesday to Saturday. There are live concerts by famous musicians from Croatia and the region (so-called ex-Yugoslavia countries), as well as stages with unplugged and electronic music. It's about an hour and a half away from the town I live but you can also camp around the lake and stay there all four (or more) days. As for my DIY project, I used all materials I had from previous similar projects, such as round wooden tags, foam rubber, coloured papers, mod podge, safety pins and a glue gun. I didn't have much time, so I made only five pieces for me and my friends, so unfortunately I didn't have any giveaways this time.

Here's some work in progress:

...and the result:

Pokéball magnets and badges

This was a little bit simpler way to use polymer clay - a flat Pokéball as a fridge magnet and a badge.

Ovo je bio vrlo jednostavan zadatak: Pokéball kao magnet za hladnjak i značka. Zapravo me zanimalo kako će pištolj za vruće ljepljenje reagirati s Fimo masom za modeliranje i hoće li uspješno držati magnet, odnosno iglu za značku.

Sam proces oblikovanja nije dugo trajao. Trebalo je napraviti dvije kuglice, spljoštiti ih i prerezati na dva identična dijela. Zatim se jedan dio crvene zalijepi za jedan dio bijele i tako još jednom (sličan proces kao i kod privjeska za ključeve, samo što ovaj put u pitanju nisu bile kuglice, već stanjeni oblici). Zatim se na crtu između dva dijela stave uske trake crne gline, te se naprave dvije kuglice, jedna crna (veća) i jedna bijela (manja). Nakon toga se one utisnu na sredinu kruga, prvo crna, pa bijela (logično), i rezultat je tu.

Nakon pečenja, sušenja i bojanja zaštitnim lakom na red dolazi već spomenuti pištolj. Već sam radio s njim, ali na nekim drugim materijalima, ali i pečena polimerna glina se isto ponaša, pa nije bilo problema. Na jednu sam zalijepio magnet, na drugu iglu i to je to.

Eto, ovaj put stvarno samo kratko...
