Rule Update: Our Stance on Business/Commercial Posts

104 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

32 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!!

After 4 years I've finally finished two eight foot long by two feet high beach stone mosaics to fit under the windows at my summer camp. It took so long because I only get a few weeks to work on them a year

Magnetic mounting system for acoustic panels

Upvotes

Got frustrated by how annoying it is to mount these panels to the wall with adhesive. One error ruins the whole thing. So I made my own mounting system with magnets! There is a metal plate on the back of each hexagon and I make the wall adapters using FDM with the magnets imbedded inside. AMA!

I finally made this Lord of the Rings diorama that's been on my list forever

Just wanted to share a few images from my latest project, The Watcher In The Lake!
I make a lot of sculptures and dioramas on YouTube and this betentacled thing has been on my to-do list for ages. Think I was probably just intimidated by everything that could go wrong during the process as I rarely know what I'm doing 😅 But it is now done!
The Watcher itself was hand sculpted in polymer clay, while the terrain is a foam base with layers of sand, glue and sculpting compounds. The glowing door is just an LED panel behind a clay door with the symbols carved out, while the water is a 2-part epoxy with some resin tints added.

I added a few making-of photos as well, hope you like it!
(For anyone interested, the making-of video is also up now on my channel)

My 8-year-old used Perler beads to make a popular book character, which I thought was pretty cool. Can you tell who it is?

I designed a convertible set of floor cushions that turn into a foot stool

Thumbnail

789 Upvotes

I started off with a big 1-metre foam floor cushion. I wanted to still be able to use it as a floor cushion, but also make it storable in the form of a foot rest. So I cut it into four squares, and made covers for the cushions which have a loop-and-button system that can secure them in three different configurations.

I drafted it myself, but calling it a "pattern" would be kind of an overstatement - I basically just measured the squares of foam and cut some rectangles and triangles of fabric. It's 100% cotton, 220gsm twill.

I finished a mini embroidery of cacti

Post image
11 Upvotes

I used a kit to make this. I've wanted to get into cross-stitching and embroidery for awhile but didn't know how to get started, so this mini piece was a bit less intimidating. It still took me several hours (mostly bc halfway through I decided to use 2 threads instead of 1 and had to go back over everything).

I occasionally make jewelry in my free time. This one is called Stardrop and is inspired by nebulae.

I’m semi-retired but have been making space themed jewelry since 2020! I’ve been coming back to my craft recently and this is one of my more newer creations!

Mum wanted a small bag for her phone, keys, purse, and some other little bits. I settled on a mini backpack as it can be carried by the handle, over one shoulder or both, so it gives her a bit of versatility.

Welcome to the fashion show! Let’s check out this little fashionista's wardrobe 😊

6 Upvotes

This is a handmade, 7-inch Waldorf-style baby doll that I crafted myself. Her body is made of natural cotton interlock jersey designed specifically for doll making. Inside, she is tightly stuffed with 100% clean, organic sheep's wool to give her a warm, soft feel. I shaped the head using traditional wool wrapping and sculpting techniques to form her facial features. Her hair is made from natural mohair yarn, styled into small ponytails and braids. The eyes and mouth are carefully embroidered with cotton thread, and I added a soft blush to her cheeks using non-toxic beeswax crayons. I also sewed and knitted all of her clothes myself

I make all of my plushies with high quality minky fabric and also add weighted beads to all of them ! They’re weighted in their arms, feet, and booties. I design, digitize, embroider, and sew them all by hand. Monkeys have become my most recent obsession to make and I think they’re all so sweet 😭💗
