You can but they won't be translucent in nature. i would suggest breaking up colored plastics if you can't get them.

you might be able to find them at walmart. They are generally in the little "stained glass" kits for children. You fill the molds with the little meltable plastic pieces and then put them in the oven until they melt and fill the space.

Demi-Plum In reply to Chocolate-Paper [2010-08-19 04:53:53 +0000 UTC]

Aww, well I'm not going to hoard how to do it. Besides someone else would just figure out how to make it on their own, using a different method maybe, but still. Plus shouldn't we all be teaching and learning new techniques in art to make us all better?

Chocolate-Paper In reply to Demi-Plum [2010-08-19 05:06:37 +0000 UTC]

Yes! I love that concept. If I ever find out awesome ways to make things, I'll do my best to share

(I just said I was going to) I'm almost afraid someone might think it is real,like my friends XD.
I'm going to blick soon with a bunch of craft ideas, I'll try yours first : ).

Demi-Plum In reply to lonlynemo [2010-07-11 20:35:33 +0000 UTC]

They won't, you can tell it's not sugar when you look at it. Not to mention it wouldn't be able to be made small enough

lonlynemo In reply to Demi-Plum [2010-07-11 20:45:40 +0000 UTC]

(even if it's not real, I'm shore they'll bite at it to joke with me)actually, It could be made small enough. I've made Rock candy before, and you could cut it in a small shape or it may not be developed that big.

Demi-Plum In reply to lonlynemo [2010-07-11 20:49:06 +0000 UTC]

i didn't know you could cut it into shapes.

they'd break their teeth. the thing is completely coated in super glue.

They look very tempting ^^ but I think, unless my daughter napped for a long time, I wouldn't be able to make one.

Demi-Plum In reply to Arias-Loving-Momma [2010-02-26 15:57:52 +0000 UTC]

haha yes, they do take a bit of time. you would need at least a half hour to get everything ready and at least another to put it together, plus drying time.
