A homemade airbrush from a syringe is a great household helper. This invention makes painting a very simple process. You can make a homemade airbrush at home, because not everyone has the opportunity to purchase it in a store, especially since the cost of an airbrush is quite high. will be no worse than purchased. In order to make it, you do not need any special skills or abilities, and the parts that make up the airbrush can be found in any home. There are two ways to make a spray gun from a syringe: without a spray gun (this method is very simple) and with a spray gun (more complicated).

What is an airbrush?

An airbrush is the same spray gun (pneumatic tool) that is designed to spray a coloring matter. It is used in many areas of life, but because of its high cost, craftsmen have already learned how to make an airbrush with their own hands.

Method one (airbrush without paint sprayer)

First of all, you need to collect all the right tools. To make this type of airbrush you will need:

• a disposable syringe and a needle from it (its volume depends only on the desire of the master);
• clip;
• a thread;
• fixative - adhesive tape or electrical tape;
• small container for paint.

The needle must be removed and heated over a fire so that it can be separated from the plastic base. You need to remove the piston from the syringe, first make the paper clip even, and then bend it at an angle of 90 °. Tightly thread one side of the paper clip and the needle. Then, using adhesive tape or electrical tape, fix the second side of the paper clip and the case. Moreover, it is necessary to fix the structure near the hole on which the needle was put on. Set the tip of the needle so that it is in the center of the syringe nozzle.

After that, you should dilute the paint so that it is liquid in a small container. Take the airbrush in your hand, lower the needle into the container with the dye and blow strongly into the wide nozzle.

Such airbrushes are called in the common people "rotoblowers". In order to make such a device, it will take 9-11 minutes and a minimum of fixtures.

Method two (airbrush without paint sprayer)

This method is identical to the method described above, it differs only in a few details.

For manufacturing you will need:

The position of the spray gun: a - walls, b - ceiling.

• core from a gel pen;
• disposable syringe + needle;
• a segment of a ballpoint pen;
• glass or plastic bottle, container for coloring emulsion;
• hot glue.

The whole process of collecting an airbrush takes place in several stages:

• cut off the writing part of the pen with a cone;
• cut off the sharp part of the medical needle;
• pre-dip the needle in hot glue and insert it into the cut rod so that its tip is visible from the metal part of the rod;
• the upper part of the syringe is attached to the bottle (a rod with a needle must be inserted into the body);
• make 3-4 holes in the lid for air access;
• the distance between the tip of the needle and the pen can be determined experimentally.

One of the advantages of this airbrush is the simple replacement of the tank.

Airbrush with paint sprayer

In order to make a more convenient homemade airbrush, you will need the following details:

• pens (3 ballpoint automatic, 2 gel);
• pencil;
• metal empty bottle (you can take a bottle of cosmetics);
• syringes (2-3);
• solid wire;
• bolts 2 pcs. 3 mm;
• nipple;
• small needle - 2 pcs.;
• glue.

First of all, you need to assemble the cartridge and needle retainer. You need to make it from a syringe, a gel pen refill, a fountain pen spring and a bolt. Remove the piston from the body, lower the spring inward (it should be next to the thin nozzle), make a hole in the rod and insert the bolt, and they should be perpendicular to each other. This design is subsequently inserted into the body.

In the body of a ballpoint pen, you need to make holes on both sides with a hot knife: one is smaller and more round (about 0.5 cm), the second is larger and longer (about 2 cm). Next, the piece of wire must be bent into the trigger stop. Heat a needle suitable for the diameter of the wire and make two holes in the body for the bent wire, insert it into the body.

The next step is to prepare 4 pieces of wire 6 cm each and bend them at a right angle. These segments should secure the air body, or rather its valve (made from a piece of the body of a ballpoint pen).

Then you need to insert the body that holds the needle directly into the spray gun. It should slide in without much effort. The length of the core of the gel pen is selected so that the core rests against the bent wire, and the spring is compressed. To connect all the parts, you can use epoxy, hot glue or regular super glue.

Next to do air valve airbrush, it will consist of a syringe without a piston, a needle, a spring, a piece of tube from a cylinder (air freshener), a nipple. All parts must be connected, pre-treated with glue.

For the trigger you will need an antenna, a piston head. It is necessary to connect two sections of the antenna to the hat, and insert a match inside with glue already applied to it. All parts also need to be coated with glue so that the structure is strong.

In order to make an airbrush paint sprayer, you need one syringe, an iron part of a medical needle, a part of a rod with an iron tip, and an air supply hose.

The container for the coloring emulsion will be a deodorant can, or rather its upper part, which must be cut off with a knife.

When all the parts are interconnected, the spray gun can be considered ready. It is not difficult and not long to make it, the main thing is to have a desire. But if you don’t want to mess around with a complex airbrush constructor, you can completely use the first and second methods. So much time is not spent on them, and the details for their manufacture can be found in any apartment or house.

There is another way to make an airbrush with a spray gun from a deodorant can. Moreover, an empty can will act as a spray gun for soft dispersion of paint or any finely dispersed chemical. For manufacturing you need:

• empty bottle;
• large capacity syringe;
• vinyl tube with a diameter that will fit a small nozzle;
• compressor for creating pressure in the cylinder;
• gloves.

Remove the plastic valve from the deodorant can. Put a vinyl tube on the syringe as close to the base as possible and cut it so that it can be put on the syringe nozzle in the future, but so that there is room to press the cartridge valve (that is, the length of the vinyl tube segment should be approximately 0 .5 cm). Dial liquid paint and connect a piece of vinyl tubing with a can. In this method, the syringe acts as an element for filling the can with paint. In order for the paint to get inside the deodorant can, you must press the can nozzle and then the syringe plunger. The volume of refilled paint is easy to calculate, just look at the volume of the can and the capacity of the syringe. For example, the volume of the can is 150 ml, the syringe is 10 cubic meters, which means that you need to pour 5 volumes of paint into the can. It is very important between refills not to forget to squeeze the cylinder valve first, that is, close it, and only then remove the syringe.

From the plastic cover of the medical needle, it is necessary to make an adapter that will connect the balloon and the compressor. It is necessary to make a small hole in the sealed part of the cover, and insert the open part into the compressor tube. Next, turn on the compressor, put the adapter on the can, press on its nozzle and fill in air (for a 150 ml bottle - about 2 kg of air). Before painting, put a plastic spray bottle on the can and shake it.

In this material, your attention will be presented with a method for making simple pneumatics from syringes.

So, we need:
- glue gun;
- juice straw;
- stationery knife;
- 2 large syringes.

We take the first syringe and cut off the nose at the very base.

Next, you need to make a hole between marks 5 and 10.

Now the nose, which we cut off at the very beginning, needs to be glued to the hole. This must be done very carefully so as not to inadvertently seal the hole.

Next, take the second syringe. It must be glued to the place where the spout of the first syringe was. According to the author, a regular joint will let air through, so be sure to use glue for better sealing.

Pneumatic is ready. It can be used in two ways: either stick a tube and shoot balls, or do without a tube and shoot cartridges made from needles.

Everything is clear with the first option, so let's move on to making cartridges from needles. This is done very simply. We take a needle and put it on any syringe.

We put the tip of the needle into the turned on and hot glue gun and pull the piston, thereby sucking in a certain amount of glue.

After some time, the glue will harden and close the hole on the needle, preventing air from escaping from it.

Fill eclairs with cream. If there is no such product, then you can create it yourself. How to make a confectionery syringe with your own hands? You can do this work with various improvised materials.

Terms of Use

In the set with a culinary syringe there are various nozzles:

• Straight cut.
• Oblique cut.
• With teeth.
• With stars.

Nozzles allow you to create wonderful culinary masterpieces. Syringes are needed to decorate cakes with various patterns - flowers, leaves, inscriptions, mesh, border. To create a rose, you need to take a piece of biscuit, align the edges, put it on a fork and coat with cream. Then you can make petals. It is necessary to take a plug in left hand, gradually turn over, and with the right - create petals. In the center you need to make small petals, and at the edges - larger and higher. With another fork, the rosette is removed and placed in the right place on the cake.

A cone-shaped nozzle is used to create leaflets. A device with a flattened end allows you to get bows, ruffles, lambrequins. There are nozzles for creating smooth and corrugated strips. They allow you to create a wicker basket. A narrow nozzle with an even cut is used to create an inscription and obtain a lace pattern, even, wavy lines. Other decorations can also be made. The cake will be more beautiful if you use different colors.

Polyethylene

Do-it-yourself confectionery syringe can be made from polyethylene. The material should be dense and transparent, with a zip fastener. You will need scissors for the job. The procedure is carried out based on the following steps:

• You need to open the package, fill it with cream.
• Then you need to fasten the clasp or fix the bag with a knot.
• Then cut off the corner of the package.

Such a product is not considered multifunctional. For example, it is unlikely that it will be possible to perform the same thickness with it. This also applies to figurative jewelry. But if there is no other way out, then such a bag is suitable for decorating a cake.

Paper

A do-it-yourself confectionery syringe made of paper provides more opportunities. The basis can serve as a confectionery parchment. For thick paper, a figured corner can serve as a nozzle. To get the product, you need to cut a triangle and roll it into a cone.

There should be no gaps between the layers of paper, as cream can pass through them. Then from above it is necessary to fix the edges, bending them to the center. The bag should be filled to the top. Be sure to cut off the corner: the hole will serve to squeeze out the cream. The fixture can be used to decorate cakes.

Plastic bottle

Do-it-yourself confectionery syringe from plastic bottle will allow you to create beautiful roses and other decorations. You will need a figured nozzle from a plastic bottle. To create a product, you will need a knife, a marker, a pastry bag.

The procedure involves the following steps:

• Cut off the neck of a plastic bottle.
• On the cover, draw the necessary pattern, and then cut it out.
• It is necessary to screw the lid on the neck, fix the curly nozzle on the made bag.

This completes the do-it-yourself confectionery syringe. With this method, it will be possible to create several nozzles so that you can perform various cake decorations. In addition to the cap, the nozzles can be nasal spray caps.

Fabric use

You can make another confectionery syringe with your own hands. With a photo, this work will be much easier. The device can be sewn from fabric. The material should be easy to wash. It is advisable to purchase white, as colored ones can shed. Dense teak is perfect, as it is durable, natural, and easy to disinfect at elevated temperatures..

From the material you need to cut a triangle, sew 2 sides. The size of the product can be any, the main thing is that the necessary portion of the cream is placed in it. The top should be cut to the size of the nozzles to be used. For this, both purchased nozzles and homemade ones are suitable.

The seams must be folded over and sewn. It is advisable to work on sewing machine, so the product will be reliable. The device is ready to decorate the cake. It can be reused if washed and dried after each use.

Using a mayonnaise bag

A bag of mayonnaise will help replace the confectionery syringe. It is necessary to cut off the bottom of the package, and then wash the product inside and out. In the other part there is a hole for squeezing out the cream. This option will allow you to perform, albeit simple, but beautiful jewelry. For this, packages from other products are also suitable, for example, from condensed milk, jam, mustard. Only the product must be absolutely clean.

File application

To get a confectionery tool, you can use a clerical file. This product is more suitable for single use. Its corner part must be filled with cream, and the corner cut off. By pressing on the contents, you can decorate the cake.

Oilcloth

To create such a product, you will need a triangle of oilcloth used on the farm. It is connected with a wide adhesive tape to make a cone. The corner must be cut off so that the nozzle is fixed in the hole. Such a simple device will serve to decorate cakes. Its only drawback is that such a bag is disposable.

Using any of these methods, you get a practical do-it-yourself confectionery syringe. At home, you can create beautiful cakes and pastries. To facilitate the work of decorating confectionery, you must use the following tips:

• Using the bag, the patterns should be done with the left hand, and with the right hand you need to hold and squeeze it a little.
• You don't need to start doing complex landscapes right away, you first need to learn how to create something simple.
• Dots should be applied with a round nozzle.
• Asterisks are obtained with a curly nozzle.
• So that when working in the hand there is no tremor from tension, under the right left hand should be used as a support.
• When creating small patterns or inscriptions, the nozzle should be kept close to the baked goods.

Cake making is a fun activity. In it, it is important to adhere to accuracy and caution. The modern confectionery industry is rich in a variety of decoration products. Store products contain dyes, preservatives, additives. If you learn how to make cakes yourself, then you can enjoy delicious and healthy homemade cakes. And a handmade bag will help decorate your masterpieces, making them even more appetizing.

This is a very interesting and simple toy rocket launcher. Any teenager will be delighted to play with her. I personally am already quite an adult, and then I am happy to launch rockets from this amazing design.
The fuel for the rocket launcher is ethyl alcohol vapor. Rockets soar into the air with a perky pop, which looks very impressive.

Needed to craft a rocket launcher

I will make a rocket launcher of four rockets, so it is fashionable to multiply it by four times listed below. You can make one rocket.

• Disposable syringe. I took 60 ml.
• Used piezo lighter.
• Two-core wire 1-2 meters long.
• Small planks for the stand.
• Hot glue gun.
• Soldering iron, stationery knife, ruler and other available tools.

Making a toy rocket launcher

We take a lighter and disassemble it in order to pull out the piezoelectric element, which generates a spark - a discharge of ignition gas.

We take out the piezoelectric element. Here is the high voltage generator itself. Posting is one contact, and the second is a shiny cap from below.

We take a two-wire wire. It is advisable to choose with thicker insulation.

We connect to the piezoelectric element.

Then we isolate everything with electrical tape or, better like me, with heat shrink.
We take two needles from syringes. Here I want to warn you and suggest that you either grind off the tip of the needles with a needle file or just bite off half a centimeter with wire cutters. This must be done without fail, as during the game you can get hurt.
We connect the wires to the needles. These will be the electrodes that will be inside the rocket launcher.

Solder for reliability. But this is optional.

We take the syringe and take out the piston.

Remove the rubber seal from the piston.

We make holes in the piston with a soldering iron.

We insert our needle-electrodes into these holes.

Fill with hot glue to seal.

Get a rubber seal.

Cut off the top with a utility knife.

We put on a modified piston with electrodes.

Fill the cylinder hole with hot glue. We won't need it anymore.

Cut off the skirt of the syringe barrel.

We take hard cardboard or plastic. And we cut out such rocket flight stabilizers from it.

We bend back a little.

You need four pieces for one rocket.

Attached to the cylinder.

Assembling a rocket launcher.

I made four of these rocket launchers.

I'm making a stand for this whole thing. I took a rectangular plank and drilled two small holes in the middle of the second half. A little later you will understand why.

Next, we take the second plank, but already smaller. Drill a hole in the center for wires. Attach with hot glue. See photo.

We glue all rocket launchers.

At the back we fix the wires with a nylon tie for all four wires.

The remote control is also a board with piezoelectric elements glued to it with hot glue.

For quite a long time, baits such as popper have been present in the arsenals of anglers. This tackle shows excellent results when catching pike, therefore it has become widespread among anglers in our country.

In specialized stores you can buy a variety of options for poppers, for any color and "taste". However, for anglers who like to put their hands on I want to offer an example of a popper from a pharmacy disposable syringe.

At minimal cost, you can get a homemade, pretty decent catchy popper.

To make a popper from a syringe, you will need the following materials:

• syringe five cubes;
• cork from a wine bottle;
• two wires;
• two tees with winding rings;
• steel balls that can be removed from the bearing.

The process of making a homemade popper from a syringe with your own hands:

We proceed to the task - to make a popper. We disassemble the pharmacy syringe and cut off unnecessary parts (spout, stem cut into pieces and use only the middle). Actions can be seen in the photos.

Cylinders are cut from the cork from the wine, which fit the syringe in size and will be tightly inserted inside. To do this, using a knife, excess pieces are cut in a circle until the required size is obtained. In order not to be mistaken, you can draw the place of the cut with a ballpoint pen.

Then we push a small cylinder of cork into the syringe to the very end, carefully pierce a hole for the wire in it. We send next the middle part from the cut rod. In the remaining cylinder, we also make holes for the wires, as shown in the photo.

We fall asleep inside the syringe steel balls and push the cork. We twist the free ends of the two wires and make a ring for attaching the fishing line. We also bend the remaining free ends of the wires and create rings for attaching hooks.

It remains to attach tees with clockwork rings and a homemade popper - a rattle from a syringe is ready. You can go to the river and try to catch a predatory pike, which loves to attack such baits.

Homemade popper from a syringe is ready

It remains only to add that when making a homemade popper from a syringe with your own hands, you can add something of your own and refine the homemade product, which will certainly lead to an improvement in its qualities and catchability. You can add red hairs to the tees, you can also put chopped multi-colored foil inside or come up with your own original equipment for this bait, or the original color.
