We’re self-admitted sci fi geeks around here, so the steampunk look is high on our list of cool craft styles. DSC reader Matt from Random Acts of Coffee is a steampunk fan too, so when he found some curvacious squirt guns at the dollar store he decided to have a craft session with his son, transforming the cheap toys into unique works of art. While he didn’t end up doing it, he also considered adding a light to the inside of the gun so that all of the parts that he didn’t cover with paint would light up orange. Either way, we applaud this transformation! [how to make a steampunk raygun]
Project estimate:
- Squirt guns, $1
- Paint, on hand or $1 and up
- Embellishments, on hand or $1 and up
- Glue, on hand
Total: $1 and up
