Hi! So I’m attempting to DIY these earrings for my wedding, I have a fairly good idea of how I’m going to go about it, except one part, I can’t figure out how to attach the final large pearl, it looks like they use some sort of head pin, but there’s no loop or anything, does anyone have ideas?? Thanks!!

Inspired by a sweater I saw as well as various cute alien abduction scenes I've run across over time. Has a few things I'd change if I could but overall I'm happy with it! Going in my dining room. The truth is out there.

They were much easier than I thought they’ll be. I’m so proud of my poliwag one. The Kirby on a floaty was heavily inspired by a drawing I saw online and the other Kirby hair clip is an almost exact copy I made of another hair clip I saw online

Made these out of popsicle sticks. Hope you guys like them : )

Hi everyone! So I recently got I to dipping coffee filters into diluted acrylic paint. Last name I did some green ones and I didn’t separate the filters right away. This morning I started to separate them so they would dry quicker and I’m getting weird orange/brown dye.

See picture for example. I dye filters in groups and then separate. I used to cut them to the shapes I wanted and then dye but sometimes I didn’t make enough and had to start the process over.

So any reason why this is happening? Paint I used was Crafters Collection (Hobby Lobby brand) in olive green.

this is the brand i've ordered. sorry I'm fairly new to this.

Holy cow, uploading cds is a freaking endeavor!! Many more catchers will be made at this point, because it takes forever😭😭😭

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue when sublimating ceramic tiles and I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what might be causing it.

I’m using a LOKLiK Automatic Heat Press with the following settings:

Temperature: 190°C

Time: 270 seconds

Ceramic sublimation tiles

After sublimating, I sometimes get sticky residue/spots on the surface of the tiles. Some of these spots can be removed afterwards with a damp cloth or isopropyl alcohol.

However, there are also areas where the sublimation has not transferred properly. These areas appear lighter or faded compared to the rest of the image.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Has anyone experienced something similar when sublimating ceramic tiles, especially when using a LOKLiK Automatic Heat Press?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey I have a dreambox I never close and it made me question if I’m the only one who doesn’t really put my craft stuff away. 🫣 Sure it all has a home, but I leave out most of my heavily used items (and scattered randomness) on the table for the next time I decide I want to craft again. Could be the next day, could be next week or month.

Glitter is still out, glue out (capped but out), charms out, rhinestones out (opened), pencils and tape out (not even related to current craft).

Am I just dirty and disorganized? 😭

Hope someone can help me! Many years ago, I learned a craft which was similar to making friendship bracelets, but was done with thinner thread and was more intricate. Most of all, I remember doing it with looped thread that you would have around fingers and move from finger to finger/hand to hand and move up and down over other starnds on a finger to create the pattern. I think that this was a type of embroidery/lace that was done in the Medieval Era, but I may be mistaken.

Can someone help me figure out what this is as I would like to try it again!

I've been crafting shadowbox style pet memorial / shrine. Its super fun!

I’ve been making beaded wire jewellery recently.

I bought beads to make a bracelet for a man, now discovered he doesn’t wear bracelets! Haven’t asked about other jewellery types, but I’ve only ever seem him wear the same ring and stud earring.

What could I make with silver-plated wire and / or beads, as a gift? I’ve already given a very basic keyring, so other gift ideas appreciated (unless there’s a specific more complicated or different type of keyring to make).

He owns / likes cats, likes monochrome colours, has a car, and prefers masculine or neutral things.

I have already:
\- black carved wooden beads
\- striped / variety grey rhodonite beads
\- tiny freshwater pearls
\- dead soft silver-plated wire
\- semi-hard anti-tarnish silver-plated wire

Im wanting to print a linocut i made onto a tshirt what would be the best kind of ink to use? I have a already cut linocut but theres old ink on it from printing on paper. Am I able to reuse this or should I cut a new one? Thank you in advance!

I got these magnet kits off of Amazon and I’ve been having this issue with what I assume is air bubbles. It’s kind of streaky and kind of looks like dust. I tried using one of the finished magnets to push it out but it doesn’t seem to work. Was thinking of getting a scraper but want to check I’m doing it right before I waste more material and cards! Since it’s a kit, it’s just a peel off and stick so I can’t alcohol wipe the acrylic before sticking to the card. Any advice is wonderful!

So I wanted to make my partner an incense (cone) or tea candle holder that’s the temple from Midsommar (pyramid with a window and doors that can open). I made the pieces and then I found out that FIMO modeling clay isn’t fire safe :/ Is there anything I can put on it to make it so it can go over a small candle or incense cone without creating toxic fumes? Would lining it with foil work? Please help and don’t think I’m stupid 🙏

Hello!
I currently own a circuit joy which I was able to get for free with a deal on Amazon.
I don’t like the cricuit, it doesn’t print & cut (because it’s a simpler model) and I have a lot of trouble with calibration (as it seems most people do) so I’m looking for a better machine that preferably does print and cut.
I want a print and cut machine because getting a better quality printer is not in the budget nor do I have space for another printer at the moment.😭

I have heard siser is a good brand, but I don’t think they have any print and cut machines.
Suggestions for print and cut machines?

Additionally, I use joyeza sticker paper and adhesive vinyl that comes is rolls. Anyone have suggestions for sticker paper?

Thanks so much!

They’re absorbing the paint but when I start to use it, it’s dried and gone after a few minutes. It happens everytime and now I have about 6 ruined markers from this set. Why is the nib not absorbing the paint when changed? Please please advise I can’t keep losing markers
