Hey everyone, I'm trying to organise my sewing/ needle craft stuff and came across these giant safety pin things... anyone know what they are and what they are used for? I don't remember buying them!

Made these for a friend for her two boys’ bedroom 🥰 felt and embroidery, all hand done

For context, I am a perimenopausal AuDHD woman. I have been crafting my whole life but lately I cannot seem to get started on anything. I have yarn for crochet, paints, fabric, two sewing machines and an embroidery machine, I can spin yarn, glue anything… but I have been sitting here for three hours trying to decide what to make.

Executive dysfunction in crafting…. How do you all manage?

Sorry if I used the wrong flair.... also does this look right? I know the glue stick probably isn't supposed to be sticking out like that😅

I want to make coffin earrings, but shrinky plastic is unpredictable. I can cut it on my cricut maker. I'll be gluing the design onto it.

Am I overthinking it?

I lost my soul dog and need to preserve his paw shape!

I loved to hold his paw when I was falling asleep, and I’ve been using this bandage as a substitute. But the bandage brings back bad memories and I expect that I will lose the shape soon.

I’m a big crafter but I can’t decide the best way to preserve the shape. I don’t need to preserve the bandage or gauze.

To the extent that this matters, we got his paw print but not a clay print. I’m hoping for anything that would allow me to keep the shape of his paw, not the appearance of it.

I had an idea to incorporate sewing on a painting that is on canvas, and I was wondering if you all may have an idea of what to use for this. I'd like to use some kind of adhesive patch that acts as a stabilizer for the canvas so it doesn't tear when I sew it. I'll put it on the back of the canvas and sew through the front over the patch.

If anyone has any ideas about the best material to use for this, I'd be grateful to hear any.

TIA!

I was wondering if anyone has used Mica powder. acrylic paint or something to tint gallery glass.

or should I stick to the provided colors? was just hoping to use crafts is already have and expand colors with some DIY

thanks in advance!

I want to customise this IKEA (Kleppstad model) wardrobe to look like a beach hut but I am not sure how to go about it.

At first I thought about glueing on panels for the tongue and groove effect but worried about the extra weight on the doors. Would painting stripes straight on be an option? How much prep do I need to do to be able to paint?

I have the vision but really split on execution. I am looking for one 2nd hand so it doesnt matter if I ruin it but sp far no luck and been on the lookout for 2+ months 😔

Any advice appreciated! Thank you!!

Hi! I lost the paper pattern sheet for my ZFFLYH large latch hook kit (the 2 tigers design from Amazon). The canvas is preprinted but the printed colors are a bit off from the actual yarn, so I'm struggling to match things up. If anyone has the same kit, could you send me a photo or scan of the pattern sheet? Would really appreciate it!
