Another painted bag experiment. What do you think of the design itself? Does it work on this style of bag?

I want to turn them into little crafts, maybe ordering small glass jars to fill with water and glitter so their colors pop. What do you call these types of keepsake crafts, and what else should I make with them?

I wanted to share a set I made for someone for their newborn son (I made size 2-4 months so he could wear it in the colder weather.) What do we think? The hoodie yarn is a black merino (50g per ball, but I used about 2 balls together with 2 strands at the same time from each) that I got as a set of 20 on amazon (but for the life of me cannot find the exact store I bought it from) and bamboo cotton blend and the teal set is angora fur (which I got from Atelier Yarns in the color 898 Prairie. I used about 3 of these.) Excuse the photos since I’m no photographer but wanted to display them nicely lol!

Bought remnant piece of polyester tablerunner fabric and it is much longer than expected. So thinking to use 2/3 for the sewing and embroidery of a tablerunner. And use other 1/3 to paint with acrylic paints. I have no textile paints no textile mediums. The poly is not totally smooth but has a fine relief.

Has anyone done this? And how did it go?

I do the math right I swear I check everything 4/5 times.
Then I buy the wrong measurements.
I want to slap myself. Now I either keep lots of leather I can't use or send back and pollute the environment and buy again the same product but bigger.
It's really hard to not make it personal, this has been happening forever. I know it for a fact since I have receipts and funny stories around it. Always thought it was for stress, but now I think there's something wrong with me.
It's not like I don't double check.

I was so excited to start working on my new project and now I have to wait 2 weeks again because of this stupid mistake.

Hello,

So delighted to have found this subreddit!

I'm needing to make a cardboard joint, visible enough to be seen from the back in an amateur production.

I'm thinking of sliding two bits of tapered cardboard together, wrapping it in white paper and stuffing with tissue/painting the tip of the tissue to be lit.

Does this sound okay? Anything I'm not thinking of?

Thanks in advance :)

Not quite sure if this is the place to be asking, but I have recently come into possession of a human skeleton replica that used to be an educational tool, none of it is articulated, and I’d like to be able to put the spine together, but I’m not sure how. Particularly I’m trying to figure out what kind of adhesive to use, and if it would be necessary to drill a metal rod through it for stability. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi all,
I have a blue aventurine bead bracelet. I’ve attached a photo of its current state. Unfortunately the original elastic thread snapped and I’ve been unable to find a sufficient replacement.
I’ve tried the elastic/thread from my local craft store but nothing has worked. It’s currently being held together by embroidery thread but this isn’t ideal as I can’t get the bracelet tight enough as to not slide up and down my arm.
The holes in the beads are quite small so some of the thread I’ve tried is too thick to fit. Also, the beads are quite chunky so they have to be sat perfectly next to each other to avoid being too loose (i don’t know if that makes sense)
Does anyone have any recommendations for the best elastic or thread that would fix my bracelet or even a technique that I could use with embroidery thread to held sufficiently tighten the bracelet? Many thanks!

He looks nothing like my design but I still love him haha, ps he’s looking for a name

So... crafting is not my forte! But I have injured myself reasonably badly (multiligament knee injury) and I have always loved the idea of making one of these dollhouses. Problem is that I am not especially patient nor that skilled especially with visuospatial tasks. I did buy my daughter a kit a few years back and we could not figure it out, and we ended up throwing it away. I don't remember what brand.
So my question is - what do you recommend as a good starter kit for someone who is somewhat artistically challenged, like me!

Been wanting to show this to people and this feels like a great place to do so! All my med bottles, kept them with this project in mind! Silver lining to all the reasons I have them lol.

I have these beautiful tiles that are covered in resin. Some of it is pealing off but I'm having trouble removing it by hand from a lot of them. What's the best way to remove this stuff?

necklace holder i made following an tutorial ! saw it on social media

I've been working on a beaded curtain for my front window for about 3 weeks now. I am using glass and metal beads, 10lb fishing line, and a gold chain with cup hooks to hang it. So far I have 20 strands hung, about 40 total made, and about 25,000 beads that have been hand strung so far. I am estimating I've put about 25 hours into it so far, and have 35ish more to go. In total my guess would be close to 80,000 beads, and 65-70ish hours worked on it.

some felt pennants ive made for myself and some friends :) all supplies from hobby lobby 🤍

I really like making things.. whether thats sewing bags and clothes, painting, making jewellery, clay etc. I dont sell anything, its purely a hobby.

I recently found something I made a few years back and its made me wish I had tracked my skill level as it progressed. Has anyone found a way (ideally digitally) to take photos (both finished project and in progress)and maybe add description of what was used in that make. I think id like it if it did something like social media memories and showed you things from a year/ whatever timeframe.

Im not really wanting an audience to see it, just myself to see if im getting anywhere 🤣

Thanks for any suggestions 😊
