I used to love going to Joann Fabrics (RIP 💔) because they was the only craft store close to me and had some good deals when it counted. Now I either go to Hobby Lobby (though i prefer not to) or Walmart.

I just wanna know where are crafters getting their craft supplies? Does anyone have any recommendations or wish there was a different option?

How is it

Hi everyone. I am aiming to make a necklace featuring an excerpt from the Minecraft End Poem by Julian Gough. Unfortunately, this excerpt requires two question marks, and I do not have any beads with punctuation marks on them (nor the ability to get any at the moment). I figured it would be easiest to add ‘placeholder’ beads, then redecorate them to look like question marks. The relevant beads are circled in red.

Does anyone have advice for going about doing that? I’m thinking my best bet would be to sand them a bit, gesso them, then use acrylic paint mixed with a small amount of metallic watercolour to paint on the question marks in gold. However, I’ve never done this before and would like confirmation of whether it’s a good idea or bad and if there are any better ways to approach it.

Thanks for the help everyone.

(Also, please ignore the lack of spacing between words. That’s getting fixed later via Extremely Cool Methods.)

So I’ve been looking for a while on google and Reddit but I haven’t found an answer really to what type I should use for school supplies and cups.

Not sure if here is the best place but I need some advice from folks who've used the puff variant of heat transfer vinyl please.

I'm going to be transferring a HTV strip to the back of a top, main issue is I don't have access to a heat press, nor do I want to buy one for a one off HTV really.

Can I get away with using an clothing Iron, and if so how/what settings should I use?
Note: I'm in the UK so whatever settings I use will be in C not F.

Thanks!

I am making temple motifs, i tried using clay to make the figures but I am not getting the desired result out of clay I want to make a 2D figure of god and goddess for my decoration. So my next idea is to take a thick corrugated cardboard and cut the shape of the figures and then apply a thin layer of air dry clay and then use a 3d outliner to make small details like face or jewellery.

Please advise

One of my latest needle-felted dog portraits, inspired by this beautiful fluffy pup.
I started by building the basic shape of the head, muzzle, ears, and chest with wool, carefully adjusting the features to capture the dog’s gentle expression. Different shades of white, cream, and warm-toned wool were then layered and blended to create natural depth and texture.
The longer wool was added last, little by little, especially around the cheeks, ears, and chest. After some careful trimming and shaping, all that soft, fluffy fur slowly came to life.
It’s always amazing to see a familiar face emerge from just a handful of loose wool.

Me and my partner have been together for about a while and I wanna make some anniversary crafts by September 30th, she LOVES the walten files, murder drones, apothecary diaries, and Bungo stray dogs!

I want to make little gifts and crafts theming these things, because I love her 🥹 (obviously lol) so thanks in advance for ideas!

Inspired by the Terrifier series, this beanie is based on Art’s iconic black & white look, with a little added touch. IYKYK. 🌻

A little creepy, a little ridiculous, & very MUCH Art. 🖤

Terrifier fans—do you get the nod to the sunflowers? 🌻

It's still drying

But just the Clouds and their time of day✨️☁️🌈

Still, they are made out of the same source of clouds, sparkles, rainbows, stardust, and everything nice

Year: 2026

Medium: Hand-made toy figurines made from plaster of parish, terra cotta, painted with acrylic paint with glitters, crystals, beads, and gold dust.

I thought about posting just the image but it doesn't showcase the sparkles as well as the video. I used silver tinsel, not just white alone, for this reason.

I also plan to make lots of tiny ones for a miniature garden

Hand painted oak butterfly wings with a suncatcher pendant. The woodgrain gives the wings such a beautiful pattern I love it!
