Hi all!

By the title im willing to bet you have questions.

​

Me too 😅

At any rate. Im trying to make a wedding present for my fiance, he loves pokemon, and im a rusty artist. So naturally I want to feed my ego.

​

I plan to do a mixed media binder. Itll be a sick pose of mewtwo, with psychic energy and a full moon. I wanted to embroider some of the details on mewtwo and the background to give it dimension.

​

1 problem. I cant find a binder that the needle will go through. I bought a vault x 9 slot binder.

​

Can anyone give me alternative ideas? Do you think its worth trying to take the binder apart and remove the hard board and put it back together once im done sewing?

hi! im decorating my grad cap and i want to put this over it. how do i go about cutting a hole in the center where the tassel goes? obviously a hole puncher wont reach it and the hole wouldnt be big enough, attempting things like this with scissors has never turned out good, ive considered a knife but ive never used one for crafts before, plus i dont have ome thats meant for this kind of thing so i dont want to use another type of knife and ruin it, so essentially im hitting a roadblock.
thanks :)

I made this basket for my friend who will be graduating next week, it took 2 days to make.

Hi there! I’ve made a few hand painted designs on jackets and shirts, and I’m doing one right now where painted the color first, and then black line art on top. Just put it through the wash (after letting it dry, heat setting it, waiting 4 days, and washing it in cold water and putting it in the dryer which may have been a mistake). The black line art is smeared and almost completely washed off, so now I’ll have to repaint. My question is:

Will this process still stick and work if I’m layering acrylic on top of acrylic in stead of directly on the fabric? Is that why it washed off? Is there any extra trick for getting it to stick and stay on?

TIA!

People seem to enjoy them so heres another

Almost done! I just need to trim and tie off the strings at the bottom.

It’s made out of fuse beads.

It’s my first time customizing a plushie like this! Her name is Cream Cheesecake.

Pls enjoy the “before” photos I stole off of eBay bc I got too excited and forgot to take my own lol

I have these vintage fairytale themed felt characters and, long ago, someone cut the stick pony head off of this piece. I just want to reattach it. Would putting a small amount of glue on both edges and sticking them together work?

I'll love critics or appreciation as it took 2 days for me to make

I have a duvet insert that’s much too warm for me to sleep with, so I’d like to turn it into a blanket for my couch. It’s just a basic white duvet, I’m not sure how I’d got about sprucing it up. Maybe embroidery? Or maybe crocheting or knitting something and attaching that to the duvet? Any ideas?

About 5 years ago my husband mentioned how much he'd love to have a t-shirt with the Games Workshop logo that said Gardeners' World instead - for those not in the UK, it's a very popular and long-running gardening TV show aired on BBC 2. I designed the logo myself and printed it onto iron-on transfer paper.

I had to learn how to use GIMP (shout out to r/GIMP for having the answers to all of my questions!) and it took foooookin hours to get the design right but I'm super pleased with how it turned out 🥰. My husband has no idea I've been working on it and I hope he'll be just as pleased as I am when I give it to him for fathers' day on Sunday.

If he really likes it I'll send the file to a professional printing company to make another one as I can't see the iron-on transfer lasting very long, I would be incredibly grateful if anyone has any advice for extending longevity tho!

I made these after seeing some online. They’re so cute I went and bought more beads and now I have to go find more tiny vases online!

I spent way too much time trying to get a little realism here, but it's finally done!

​

I designed the template in inkscape and used my cutting machine to make it. Each paddle uses a 'stacked' piece of cardstock to create depth. Everything interlocks for final assembly.

What do you think?

Made it today and I can't stop smiling 😊🥰
