Rule Update: Our Stance on Business/Commercial Posts

106 Upvotes

Hey, r/SomethingIMade!

We've updated two rules to better protect what this community is for as a space for individual creators sharing their own work, including collaborations.

A steady increase in posts and comments from business and commercial accounts promoting products or shop pages has not gone unnoticed, often in cases where authorship can't be verified. We don't think it is fair that content that may be mass produced gains engagement over our more DIY creators. The updated rules address this directly.

Rule #5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

Posts or comments from businesses or commercial accounts primarily promoting products may be removed at moderator discretion, especially where authorship cannot be verified.

Rule #10: Original Content Only

Business and commercial accounts are not permitted to post in this subreddit. This is a community for individual creators only.

If you're an individual who makes and sells things, you're still very welcome here. This change is aimed at accounts whose primary purpose is commercial promotion rather than genuine participation as a creator. If you're unsure whether your account falls within the rules, reach out via Mod Mail.

Happy creating!

- The r/SomethingIMade Mod Team

Updated Rule 5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

34 Upvotes

In order to help have better discussions regarding content, we have decided to disable embedding of YouTube videos in posts.

This isn’t intended to hinder anyone from posting, simply to change the way the post are made. Moving forward you will need to create a normal post regarding your creation, and if there’s a YouTube video you would like to share as part of that, add it into the body of the post along with the descriptive information.

Thanks for being here, and if you have any questions, ask away!!

I crocheted this colorful cat ear hat and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I added big ears, long braided ties and tassels to give it a whimsical fantasy look. This was such a fun project to make!

I started by transferring the main outlines from the reference photo onto the leather, then carved and shaped the face little by little to build up the depth.

[OC] I made these roses from pipe cleaners 🌹

I’ve been experimenting with making more realistic roses from pipe cleaners, and these are one of my favorite results so far. 🌹
Each rose, leaf, and stem was shaped and assembled by hand. I really enjoy trying to capture the details and natural curves of real roses using just pipe cleaners.

Piano keyboard shaped palette, made from Cernit polymer clay, for an activity I can't explain here or else my post will be flagged. The "black" keys are for my watercolours, the white for mixing colours.

I made a glass Iris candle holder in my lampworking class today. My usually strict instructor actually stopped to take a picture of it, and I couldn’t be prouder!

I made some birds for a railing I'm working on. They are a lot more impressive if you know how hard it is to forge metal. 😆

While making this sculpture, an instructor told me bronze lasts thousands of years. Last week, this is what remained after a fire destroyed our home.

I made this in a sculpture class years ago. The instructor said bronze artwork lasts thousands of years. Last week, our house burned down, destroying nearly everything inside. The fire marshal pulled this piece from the wreckage. I photographed it, then threw it away.

I turned a childhood fairytale into a needle felted baby mobile

Post image
23 Upvotes

I’ve always loved the feeling of opening a storybook and stepping into a little magical world.

Recently I created this needle felted baby mobile inspired by a fairytale — with tiny wool animals, a little train, stars, and forest friends hanging together like a scene from a storybook.

Everything was handmade with wool, from shaping each little character to adding the tiny details.

I hope this little mobile can bring the same warmth and imagination to a baby’s room as a favorite bedtime story. 🌙✨

What kind of storybook world would you turn into a nursery decoration?
