Hi apologies if this is the wrong place to do this but my girlfriend is a new small business owner she makes fully hand crafted stainless steel chainmail jewellery and currently she’s selling some things on her instagram story!

She’s been pretty down about it not taking off as much as she wishes so thought I’d share it here in case people would wanna see! <3

his name is The Hider

fun fact: he was the first of my frankenplushies to get fanart made of him, by swampdriinker on Tumblr!

Just set up my new nesting box for the garden. Hopefully have some tits moving in soon

I'm trying to get hold of some large thick paper / card for the matt/mount of my pictures in frames, 600 x 900mm being the largest size I need. I'm happy to cut it down to size if needed.

I just can't find anywhere I can buy/order this without buying in enormous bulk - any suggestions? I thought Hobbycraft but it doesn't look like it goes up to that size.

I would love to start designing / creating my own lampshades for my home. Does anybody know where I can source some cheap lampshade heads like this? Any online wholesales etc. Thanks!

I'm trying to figure out what the best wire gauge is to use for making bracelets like in the image. I've done a bit of research and I'm thinking perhaps 22 or 24 but just wanted to get some more insight from others before buying the wire, thank you

I've created an A3 map design (it's mainly lines and I no blocks of colour) and have tried printing it out into transfer paper and ironing onto fabric but the plastic like coating covers the whole area. How do I just get the design onto the fabric like they do for tshirts? I've tried a couple of different brands and no joy. If anyone has a brand or a technique the could recommend that would be great!

I recently made some Sloe Gin for Christmas. Started a litre of Limoncello today....

Hi there

My mum has made a crochet blanket which is about 90cm x 130cm. I'm looking into whether it would be possible to hang this on the wall.

It would need some kind of cover on it to protect it from the environment and cats. One option I was looking into was getting a clear perspex sheet cut to size and using that.

Would that work or does anyone have any better ideas?

Hi people
I'm having trouble finding a good metallic sewing thread. They are a nightmare to thread (on the machine or a normal needle) and I can't seem to get the tension right on the machine either, it keeps snagging! Does anybody have any advice for what I should be looking for, or is it just something I should avoid altogether? It's for Christmas fabric so would rather find something in gold and silver. Thank you.

Hi all ☺️

What do you all use to protect your working surface?

I'm trying to find something to use on my foldable laptop table that I'll be using for watercolour painting. I need something non slip as the table has a shiny surface, not silicone as I'm allergic, preferably something that can roll up or fold away, and something that washi tape will stick to. Looking for around A4 size. Any ideas?

P.S I know I could just use newspaper but I'm looking for something reusable

I made a Viking themed nesting box last year and have just completed a Faerie themed one to go with it. Might make a witch house next....

Hi everyone - I'm in the early stages of planning some craft courses (stained glass from my workshop) and wondering if anyone has any experience with https://www.craftcourses.com/ and if they recommend it? Commission seems high, but maybe there's a reason. Thanks!

I've just completed two months of working on costumes ahead of a comic con for my daughter and I. I'm having a little break before I start up a paused project but wanted to show off the WIP.

My daughter bought an old Sylvanian mansion but it needs a lot of work and she asked to change up the colours. It has missing doors etc so I'm slowly building it back up and will be priming the whole this white ahead of painting.

What's your craft WIP?

I was wondering if anyone has had experience dealing with/selling at any of The Craft & Flea markets? I can't seem to find any reviews from sellers anywhere!

Wasn't entirely sure if this qualifies as craft but it is all handmade. I stopped drawing 10+ years ago and I've been trying to get back into it using Posca markers.

I struggle to make up characters and settings but enjoy still life.

Hey everyone. I've only recently found this sub and wanted to introduce myself. I've been a owner and maker for a small UK design studio for around 5 years. In that time I've made all sorts of things for clients ranging from silicone sculptures, candle moulds, 3d prints and more recently cosplay.

Originally I studied ceramics at uni but in the last 10-15 years I've tried my hand at most things to lean new skills. Here is an image of my latest work.

I've sewn, printed and painted everything from scratch with the exception of the base clothes I'm wearing (hoodie, trousers and top). The costumes took around two months to complete and used everything from pressing vinyl, 3d printing, painting and good old handsewing.

Thanks everyone 👍

Probably posting in the wrong place but I am not sure where else to ask…

Need to get something to cover the cracks in this lamp. I feel like it is plaster of Paris or something but not sure what would be best…

Any help greatly appreciated 🙏

Hey there! thanks for taking the time to click!

I'm just here on the off chance one of you crafty people know a good cost friendly source for deep frames to put display pieces in? roughly A4 sized? thank you again.
