So basically I used to make a ton of patches. The ones in the picture above are some of the ones I made. I unfortunately dropped that hobby for about a year and recently decided I’d like to start making them again. Unfortunately the markers I’ve tried recently do not show up well on black fabric, and I can’t for the life of me remember what kind I used that made them look so bright like they do in the picture. I’d love to hear if anyone has recommendations for precise markers that would be good for a project like this. Thanks in advance.

Hi

i am makings some stamps that are quite large (up to 20cm in diameter) , there are places that sell ink pads for this but they are expensive, which made me wonder about making my own, i have seen some guides that suggest that you can use upholstery foam, but this seems much coarser then what are in a lot of normal ink pads for stamps. Does anyone know if there is a particular type of foam that is used, if there is a name that i could search to see if i can find some blank material.

Any suggestions that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Girlfriend bought this goose and the neck wasn't supported on the way home.

Best ideas to fix it?

Patch with some sort of sticky cement slurry? Plaster? Any ideas welcome.

I’d still very much consider myself a novice watercolor painter, but I made this painting with pressed flowers and wanted to show it off! I definitely plan on doing this again.

I'm trying to draw the BOTW ancient tapestry. Done using markers on cardboard paper. At least it looks decent so far! (If you ignore the rune I messed up lol)

The hanging one is made from an upcycled paint pot!

Painted these as a gift to my niece using fabric paint.

Hi! This is my first time messing around with shrink plastic so idk if this is the right sub for these questions( and if there’s a more better sub for this please feel free to suggest)! I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know how to get rid of this splotchiness on the shiny side after it’s done baking? Ive tried slightly varying temps and cook time, parchment paper vs foil, and flattening with a foil covered spatula after cooking and I can’t get rid of this issue. Idk how well it comes across in the pictures, but it always comes out with some parts smooth and shiny and other parts rough and foggy.
2. Does anyone know any good finishing alternatives to UV resin that don’t yellow super quickly? I’ve tried applying a thin coat of mod podge and then polyurethane on top but I’ve had some trouble with the colors bleeding and not getting the nice doming effect. I might just give in and try resin if I can’t find a good substitute but I really don’t want to deal with all the PPE and ventilation stuff if I can avoid it lol

(btw I used prismacolor colored pencils if that affects anything!) and any help is greatly appreciated <3

I've been thinking about getting some sections of hair dyed for a fun peekaboo splash of color, but if I'm being honest, I don't think I would maintain it super well right now. I decided to play with jewelry supplies I had around the house and these wig clips. Each strand is made of beading wire, and finished with crimp beads. A couple of the ends need adjusted, I decided to finish without my pliers, so I clumsily squished the crimp beads with a key. 😅 But they're done, and I kinda love it! Green is up next!

I made this bouquet from air dry clay as a gift a few months ago. Looking back at them now, I can see so many things I'd do differently. But I don't think that takes anything away from it. I'm still happy I made these. They were created with care, gifted with love. And they became a small part of someone else's story.

Thanks for looking! :)

I want to make a crafty session focused on making itself, not on the result itself. Just for the purpose of fun. Do you have some inspiration for me? I already browsed Pinterest and googled but this sub always has so cool ideas I thought I can maybe ask here too :)

I wanted to make something metal

I'm so in love with my new frog friend. He's made with textured green yarn and features hand-sculpted polymer clay eyes for maximum expression. But the real stars of the show are his fabulous, long red-and-white striped stockings! I think they give him a lot of personality. What do you think?

Doing Gallery Glass for the first time for a wedding Welcome sign and am conflicted!! Plaid recommends doing leading, color, and clear all on the back side of the glass but most people on TikTok do some steps on the front and some steps on the back.

Any reasons to do one way over another?
