okay guys, I have about 10 blocks left. I need anyrhing rectangular that fits this vibe!! 80s 90s 2000s kids sound off. Or just anything silly really. I want to finish it for this weekend so we can finally play Dread with it!! TYIA ❤️❤️

EDIT: i looooove movies and TV and might even make another jenga tower just with that theme, so those are definitley appreciated!! it doesnt have to be rectangular either but bonus points!

My partner recently started immunosuppressant infusions for a medical condition so we have to wear masks! You best believe I had to make sure it was fashionable and sparkly ✨

Edit!! Just wanted to clarify that these don’t poke any holes in the mask! They’re all secured with lobster clasps on the ear loops and in the first one it just hangs on the middle/doesn’t puncture :)

My bff travels to seas a lot and brings a lot of shells and clams back home. Knowing that i like to craft, she gave them to me to think about something to turn them into gifts.

After lots of inspiration on Pinterest, watching tutorials, and some improvisation, i ended up painting them like sea bowls, one on a stand, and one as a closing version with sky and clouds as well.

I originally wanted to dye some resin blue and make it a resin filled sea with that trick of white resin and hot air gun to make a sea foam, but i didn't have the white pigment nor air gun, so i opted to try and paint it all instead.

I am a digital cartoon artist, so yes, i have skills for drawing, but painting? That's a big nightmare for me haha! Just the brushes bending, doing what they want, adding amount of paint as they please and simply not behaving was always a death of me! 😭

But painting sea somehow turned out to be actually very easy once i got the grip of it. Maybe because i didn't have to draw anything detailed and just dabbed waves in and blended premade basic colors. But still i love how i managed to create especially the white foam.

The golden edges were the biggest challenge though. I saw people using gold gell pens or already premade gold paint. I only had gold pigment powder. I ended up mixing it with a bit of varnish. It didn't want to stay mixed properly and made a gold crust on the varnish's surface, but in the end that was actually a helpful mistake that made it stick to the shell very well haha!

Then the pebbles and details were glued on with hot gun and super glue before coated with varnish again.

Either way I am absolutely planning to paint more shells now!

Making these tiny bell beastlings from clay! First time i

worked with clay for almost a decade! (It did not go well last time).I think these are so cute!

Seems fitting to share some orange cats I stitched 😁

I mostly adapt old illustrations into cross stitch patterns ; the first cat is from an Ethopian manuscript from the 19th/20th century and the last one is from a medieval European manuscript.

The angry little burning one is self drafted :)

Ps : please snuggle your brainless oranges at home for me if you have some ❤️

Picked up a cute ceramic treat shop for Halloween and painted it. The windows, the letters on the sign, and the faces of the jack-o-laterns are all painted with glow in the dark paint 🎨

I made Booook awhile ago, but recently started posting on Reddit and wanted to share 🎃

​

Im not sure if this is resin but it does look like it. But I dont have a pressure machine thingy nor a resin printer. People said it's also dangerous to do this in an enclosure.

How can I make something like this at home? or considering the constraints.

My uni have a lot of 3D printers, etc.

we have:

- 3D printers

- Laser cutter

- Vacuum former

- Vinyl cutter

- Arduino kits and microcontrollers

- Electronics benches and soldering stations

- Handheld power tools

- Testing equipment

- Hand tools

- Assembly tools

- Finishing tools

- Workbenches and build stations

but the problem with the 3D printers was there are these lines and even trying to sandpaper it, it makes this scratches that makes my print looks old. Some people said acetone is also dangerous, etc.

I just want it looks smooth and professional regardless whether it is 3d print or resin🥲

PS. I stay here at auckland

(the print is also 2-3 x 2-3 inches)

I made a bunch of gilded walnuts with gold foil and I absolutely loved how they came out. But I used a kit that had 100 sheets of foil and I only used like 15. So now I have a bunch of gold foil that I'm not sure what to do with!

Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks

I want to make shoes like you see in the image below for a cosplay but I don't know what to use for the icing. Anyone got any suggestions? (preferably things you can get in europe)

The limbs were easy (wire, tinfoil and then plastic wrap) but is there anything I can use to pad the torso out?

Wondering is anyone who is knowledgeable about adhesives can help me figure out what happened here?

We create wood signs and shipped this one out recently. The customer sent back this photo. We’ve probably made almost 100 signs at this point and have never seen anything like this happen. It was shipped from GA to CA. We use Gorilla Super Glue and always have.

This was painted then glued and sat in my house for 2 days before it was shipped. We regularly glue on painted surfaces and non-painted surfaces and have never seen this happen. If we do make mistakes it’s sooo difficult to remove pieces once glued.

Google say heat during transport? She sent a video opening it as well and cutting my packaging open, so I know she’s legit. I’m just confused lol.

Crafty people, I'm new here but want to do a thing for my wife. I bought a writing desk and on it there looks to be a leather pad. The issue is that it's rather tatty looking and I'm wanting to either fix or replace. Are there any suggestions for what I can do with this?

Photo of dogs, just because!

I bought this dresser 6-7 years ago from wayfair. It was never built. It’s been sitting in my sister’s storage room for years. I recently went to her apartment to get it and the storage room door was wide open. I’m not sure if anybody took anything. I feel like I’m missing parts but I’m not sure. I took photos of all the parts I have and the instructions. I’m going to try to build it. I’ve never built anything before 😂. Does it look like I’m missing pieces? And if I am can you name the pieces so I can try to find them at Lowe’s? Thank you 🙏🏾. I want my dresser to be a cute kawaii pastel one. I have to get stencils to decorate it.

TLDR; can i iron vinyl on top of vinyl? need a white background for black QR codes.

i was tasked with making 60 shirts for my work - all with different sayings relevant to our work. i ordered 20’ of vinyl with all the different sayings we need, plus our logo and QR codes for our socials. i was dumb and had the QR codes printed in black :( our shirts are the dark navy blue underneath the one pictured. the QR can be read like 1 in 15 times.

so i’m thinking, if i buy white HTV and cut it into squares, could i iron the white patch on first, and then apply the QR code on top of that? i’m worried since it will be ironed onto only HTV that it won’t stick, and i don’t want to waste any money.

if you have any other ideas please let me know! my last option is reprinting the QR in white but trying to avoid that as we need these shirts in a week.

Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations for an adhesive that works well for attaching photo paper to 80 lb or 110 lb cardstock without making the cardstock warp, curl, or wrinkle? I’d love to hear about your personal experience with what has worked for you.

Thank you.

So recently I customised my shoes with acrylic markers the only Question I have is do I need to seal the paint? If yes how do I seal the paint? Thanks for any help

Without going into too much detail, I have recently acquired something of significant folklore value-they are made of stone and are palm sized. I am looking into making moulds of them to make a few replicas for close friends.

Would plaster of paris be safe to use on them?

Hello r/crafts community,

I'm brand new to this and plan to make a birthday present for a friend of mine.

I wanted to "transform" this Ikea Rat into a Bag by adding a zipper in the back, piercing it in the back to put a chain through and and maybe even stitching a tattoo on it. Does anybody have any kind of expirence with this and can help a total noob with which tools I need and how this process works?

Thanks in advance!
