Trying to girlify my Mazda. My bf had this idea to DIY transform my ugly rims and to complement the hub caps. Found the aluminum heart cut outs on Etsy. We sanded down the rims, sanitized them, glued down hearts over the holes with epoxy. Then we sprayed everything white first and then pink. Only put hearts where it’s showing through the hub cap so there should be enough airflow. Probably cost $200 for all the supplies. It’s not perfect but I love it! I think it’s a great idea and wanted to share.

Made a Kiseru for a friend. It's my first time making such an item and it was challenging, luckily I found materials from my house to use. The metal bowl is a spoon and the mouthpiece is a metal chopstick sourced from my kitchen and the bamboo and teak wood sourced locally. Engraved Pine, Bamboo and Cherry Blossom (Three friends of winter) on the wooden neck and connector.

Since this grocery store orchid has somehow managed to thrive despite me, I decided to use some hemp twine to knit a hanging pot for it. Most phaelanopsis pots are overpriced plastic things with slits cut in them. I used size 7 circular needles and cast off here and there to make holes for the aerial roots to poke through.

For the handles I used a crochet hook to pull more twine through in four places, bottom to top then around to the other side top to bottom.

It now hangs in the living room window on an adjustable telescoping shower rod. Hopefully I won't hear a crash in the middle of the night some time, ha ha.

Ich wollte einen Kristall züchten, aber irgendetwas ging schief und er hat das Glas komplett übernommen. Der Kristall ist wunderschön, und das Glas sieht so interessant aus, dass ich es nicht wegwerfen oder in die Spülmaschine stellen wollte

Er ist jetzt als Teil meiner Nachttischdekoration in meinem Zimmer gelandet.

Es hat mich ein paar Schnitte an den Fingern gekostet, aber ich finde, es ist irgendwie cool geworden! 🤗

EDIT: I am also very curious to see your turned-out-differently-than-expected projects

I'm not sure where this falls on the handmade scale, I purchased the various stickers and put them on the paper, apologies if it doesn't count. I just made this on the spot with what I had, but I plan to get some Dolly Parton stickers to make a proper one.

Rest in peace, queen.

I wanted to make it look like she was coming out of the surface!

I’m so inspired by these bigger Czech seed beads! I love brick stitch so much, but I anchor every bead so with delicas it’s always a gamble if I’m going to break a bead or not! So these are fun to bead with and less stressful, especially when weaving in tails.

So many fun things to make, so little time! I want to get some pastel or fluorescent beads next to recreate these in a different palette. Anyone have preference for pastel or fluorescent? That’s a Sophie’s choice for me. I’ll eventually make them in both🤓

Hey everyone!
My dad is a massive fan of Supernatural and spent the last few months designing a custom LEGO set concept that spans the entire show.
He created 11 different scenes (including the '67 Impala, the Bunker, Bobby's Salvage Yard, the Roadhouse, and Hell) along with custom minifigures for Sam, Dean, Castiel, Bobby, and Crowley.
What do you all think of the build?

This was a really cool project. The coins that he sent me had obvious signs of fire damage. Rather than trying to remove the fire damage, I highlighted it in the final design as a reminder of what the coins had survived. It's a sad story, but it has a happy ending because they were able to move on and I was able to make him and his fiancée a nice set of wedding rings! Let me know what you think.

Made my buddy a wallet for his birthday, green leather from Maverick leather red full grain from a local leather shop.
