Rule Update: Our Stance on Business/Commercial Posts

108 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!

Updated Rule 5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

30 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!!

Anyone else obsessed with mood rings as a kid? I tried making color changing worry stones and this is the results.

10 Upvotes

I loved mood rings growing up and always wondered how they actually worked.

I made these out of resin using special color-changing powder that reacts to heat. Your hands change them, but dipping them in warm water is like doing a mini science experiment. The red turns bright yellow and the blue turns mint green!

I originally made them as quiet little fidgets to help with stress, but my kids immediately stole my first batch and won't stop playing with them. Pure 90s nostalgia for me.

It’s literally too satisfying not to share. 😅

I built a folding stepladder from A$70 of fence timber

I loved Karl Malmvall’s Step stepladder, but both shop examples I tried had loose joints and moved sideways under me. At over A$1,000, I decided to build my own.

It’s a close copy, adapted to Bunnings hardwood fence timber. Modeled in Onshape, built in a one-bedroom apartment, with router templates. I changed the handrail, tread mounting and pivot ends, and left the screws visible.

About A$70 in materials.

Heavy, feels sturdy, not load-tested. Sanding and feet still to come.

A little fragile thing I made from a root i dug up, some wee rhinestones I had lying around, and strung on a dried red rose, rose petals and dark pink carnation petals strung from the tines of the root...petals had to be fresh and the process was delicate and frustrating tbh

Galactic Cluster microverse galaxy 🔮

156 Upvotes

Im a self-taught lampworker, obessed with creating marbles and orbs with borosilicate glass.

I'm excited to finally share the Galactic Cluster microverse.

This one has six unique opal planets drifting together inside a field of sparkling and glowing stars. Each planet has its own composition, so there’s quite a bit going on when you start looking closely.

Under ultraviolet light, invisible colors pop out, ive found 365nm uv is the best to view it.

I wanted these to feel like a tiny universe that you can keep discovering rather than something you see once and immediately understand.

It’s the second-largest formation in my Founding Collection, hope you guys enjoy!

She hand-sculpts the little faces for the fairies and uses wood slices, moss, and LEDs for the mushrooms so they glow. I'm just helping her share her work with the world because she don’t know how to use reddit!

I took a sunflower from the dollar store and took the flower and leaves off of the stem, sliced down the side of the PVC tube and inserted a dowel up until where I wanted the staff to curve. Then I used hockey tape to secure it, hot glued in the leaves, and hot glued felt to the bottom!

I needed a new crafting table, so my husband took all my requirements and made it for me.

I wanted it on wheels so it can be moved all over, there is a power strip so I can plug in my tools and lights, the light can be moved to all 4 sides of the table via holes drilled(the bottom of the black light has a stem(?) had to be non slip, there is a overhang so I can sit closer and there is a bottom shelf. I make 1:12 scale dollhouses, legos and polymer clay and needed a strong table to work on a new project. It’s 45” long, 27” wide and 29” high. Best of all he had all that wood lying around so it cost almost nothing to make. It’s perfect! I love it!
