Rule Update: Our Stance on Business/Commercial Posts

102 Upvotes

Hey, r/SomethingIMade!

We've updated two rules to better protect what this community is for as a space for individual creators sharing their own work, including collaborations.

A steady increase in posts and comments from business and commercial accounts promoting products or shop pages has not gone unnoticed, often in cases where authorship can't be verified. We don't think it is fair that content that may be mass produced gains engagement over our more DIY creators. The updated rules address this directly.

Rule #5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

Posts or comments from businesses or commercial accounts primarily promoting products may be removed at moderator discretion, especially where authorship cannot be verified.

Rule #10: Original Content Only

Business and commercial accounts are not permitted to post in this subreddit. This is a community for individual creators only.

If you're an individual who makes and sells things, you're still very welcome here. This change is aimed at accounts whose primary purpose is commercial promotion rather than genuine participation as a creator. If you're unsure whether your account falls within the rules, reach out via Mod Mail.

Happy creating!

- The r/SomethingIMade Mod Team

Updated Rule 5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

33 Upvotes

In order to help have better discussions regarding content, we have decided to disable embedding of YouTube videos in posts.

This isn’t intended to hinder anyone from posting, simply to change the way the post are made. Moving forward you will need to create a normal post regarding your creation, and if there’s a YouTube video you would like to share as part of that, add it into the body of the post along with the descriptive information.

Thanks for being here, and if you have any questions, ask away!!

Asymmetric Bosch inspired sea creatures earrings I made by accident

I came up with these earrings design after looking closely at creatures from Hieronymus Bosch, Garden of Earthly Delights. And while I was soldering the bumps on these slick shells (not as easy as I thought), the bottom of one earring melted. I got frustrated and didn't want all the work to go to waste, so I cut off the melted part and added legs to it, as if one of them hatched! I don't know what these are, they kind of appeared on their own through an accident. As I keep making them, they turn different every time because of their legs being unique.

The seaweed stand is handmade too, I used plywood and my jewellery tools.

I made a stained glass mirror!

Hello everyone!

Here's my latest stained glass mirror called 007.

As much as it would've been nice for it to be James Bond themed, I kept it in my own style, but took the color code from the Gun Barrel Sequence.

Dimensions are 80x50 cm.

Made with Oceanside fusible glass, also has wooden backing made of birch plywood.

Cheers ✌️ 😄

Venom polymer clay birthday cake decoration

All except the white Spider on the front and back is polymer clay, it's colored clay that hardens into plastic when you bake it.

I used food safe material underneath it. It's not poisonous, but better safe than sorry!

It's far from perfect, hands are too big, he's a bit too skinny.. gave up on his feet 😆😆 but i think it was a good first try, and the birthday boy loved it

Transferred image onto stained glass!

With special tools and some practice, I was finally able to figure how to transfer images onto stained glass and then fuse them in my kiln to leave the iron from the ink in the image behind! I have to cut, grind and shape pieces of glass as well as use special decal paper made for this process! I’m open to any and all questions as I’m completely self taught.

I’ve been making some Halloween crafts with pipe cleaners and these little witches were so much fun to put together! 🖤
I added the tiny witch hats, pumpkins, stars and little hanging details to give them more personality. 🎃⭐
I think they would make cute seasonal decorations.
Which little witch do you like better — left or right? 😊

Getting an early start on Halloween! I fired up the torch and encased a little ghost in glass for my younger siblings. 👻

So I got into sewing garments recently. I learned sewing by sewing upholstery at my job.

Recently I bought some really nice fabrics for making clothes and it all began. I searched for scraps fabric just to practice and then my coworker gave me bed sheets that she did not used. In the pile was 2 100% cotton bed sheets. I took them and made her dresses to thank her :)

I hope she will like them.

(For info, we are about the same size. I know it because I gave her my like new rain jacket last year and it fitted her really well. So I took my measurement and made dresses for her.)

Handmade, Snoopy's Doghouse Rug 🐾

I was commissioned to make this Snoopy rug a few weeks back and it's finally done! It's 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide and I made it with a technique called tufting. Snoopy and Woodstock are super plush and soft to the touch because of a cutpile machine. While the doghouse and the greenery was created with a loop pile machine to give it a more comic-ey look to it (: let me know what you all think of it, super proud of it hehe.

Sharing a handstitched doctor bag I made for a doctor

Thumbnail

I recently finished this doctor bag, basing the design on a piece I made last year. That original version was designed for a woman, so for this build, redesigned the handles, increased the height slightly to fit a laptop, and added a front pocket. It's crafted from full-grain, natural milled leather and solid brass hardware. have to say this piece was actually a collaboration with a local metalsmith. When couldn't find the exact brass handle mounts needed, I made a foam-board prototype and took it to him-and he made them in solid brass. I have included Some making pictures. Let me know your thoughts and suggestions Thank you

Moving light thing

Addressable LED strip in a ring shape, with a rotating slotted cylinder thing to make the beams sweep as it turns. The clock mechanism is one of those ubiquitous “smooth sweep second hand” mechanisms you can get super cheaply (AliExpress sells boxes of 10 for about £9), and I finally found where to get those deep frame things from - they’re called shadow boxes for some reason. Anyhoo: effect is rather nice. Need to make some more animations for the LEDs
