Thank you jaeger42 for our reddit alien!!

Need a gift? Want something handmade? Buy from your fellow crafters!

This subreddit is for sharing your own images, tutorials, tips, and questions on all things craft related! Before posting please follow these rules:

1.) Be kind and remember the human. Comments that dismiss or insult other users or the craft they share, will be removed. Constructive criticism is greatly encouraged, but remember the constructive part. Comments on a user's appearance, especially those of a sexual nature, creepy, gross or any comments that are similar to that, will be removed and the user banned from this subreddit.

2.) Do not post shop, social media, or self-promotion info/links (i.e. etsy, social media, a shop's facebook, youtube channel, sites selling crafts, sites selling a product, or sites asking for followers/donations/votes) outside of the monthly shop thread. Not as a post, in a comment, or in the description. You will be marked as spam and possibly banned. BUT you may use the flair next to your username to advertise your shop.** This includes posts that have affiliate links to buy items. They will be removed and marked as spam. See the list below as to where you can submit those types of posts.

3.) Blog posts/articles are no longer allowed unless you are posting a free tutorial directly on your site. If you'd like to share pictures of something you've made, you must use an image hosting site (imgur, flickr, etc.), not your blog/personal site/social media etc.

4.) Please limit posting to only one post every 24 hours. Either compile an album on a picture hosting site or post subsequent pictures in the comment section. More than one post a day will be subject to removal.

5.) Video links are not allowed as their own post. Either post a picture of your finished craft and link a tutorial in the comments or post a short clip (under 60 seconds) on an image-sharing site or reddit itself. Short clips are still subject to the no self-promotion rule.

6.) Any poster that is considered "low effort" will be removed. Our subreddit is starting to crack down on low effort posts. When we say low effort, we mean users that only post their own links, only post social media video content, and/or people that do not leave comments or interact in another way with subreddits. It looks as if you post the same link 10+ times to a variety of subreddits with no other interaction. This is behavior of a spammer. If you continue to post like this, you will be banned from the subreddit.

7.) Memes, comics, and similar type of posts are only allowed on Mondays with the 'Meme Monday' tag.

8.) Keep all craft adjacent chat in the 'Craft Adjacent Chat' weekly post.

9.) Surveys are allowed in the monthly shop thread; not as a separate post.

10.) Tag your post with the appropriate flair. Due to a number of users wanting to filter out certain types of crafts, please tag your post with the appropriate flair so that posts don't receive unnecessary reports or automatic removals by AutoMod.

Am I using liquid chalk correctly?

Bought some "neon" liquid chalk marker off Amazon with one of those magnetic blackboards. It worked for literally the first 15 minutes I used it. Now barely any color comes out when drawing on the board with it. But the color does come out when drawing on paper.

Decoupage advice?

Hi! Iā€™ve collaged a cheap craft box with vintage photo clippings from an 80 year old book using modge podge. Itā€™s a very sentimental gift so I want it to last long. Wondering if I should coat it in like a polyurethane spray, or leave it as is? Iā€™m worried about saturating the images with anything that will distort how they look. But I would love a glossy look and to waterproof it.

Advice appreciated! Thanks!

DIY pin/button advice?

Iā€™m planning on making some DIY pins/buttons, but Iā€™m having trouble finding a good backing for them. The plan is to print out the photos I want, attach them to the backing, then cover them in UV resin for some dimension probably. Iā€™m aiming for a faux acrylic pin look.

Anyways, does anyone have any good ideas for what to use as a backing? Iā€™m looking for something clear, pretty sturdy, min. 2mm thick, and possible to cut with scissors.

Iā€™ve considered Shrink Plastic, but decided against it. Iā€™m also considering resin or hot glue already, but was hoping to find a better option.

Painting on canvas tapestry?

Itā€™s my sonā€™s first Christmas, and I want to make a Christmas tree tapestry for him to paint ornaments onto year by year. What would be the best medium to use for canvas cloth that will likely be rolled or folded and stored when not displayed?

Advice needed on a repainting project, please šŸ˜‡

I am hoping to repaint this little figure into another princess, and wondered if anyone is able to recommend how would be best to do this. I want it to look good (not streaky and as ā€˜untexturedā€™ as possible). Do I need to remove existing paint first, or can I paint over?

What paint type would you recommend? Would posca pens work?

Thank you! šŸ˜Š

What do I do with my stickersšŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Hi guys, do you ever have some part of your art that youā€™re saving for the PERFECT craft, but you donā€™t know what you wanna do with it yet, but youā€™re so anxious to use it because itā€™s just too good, but the project idea needs to be the perfect one OMG!!!!šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I donā€™t know what to do with my best stickers. I do have a journal dedicated to self growth and another dedicated to love, but I just need something else. Something like maybe a bookmark, but it has to be bigger and more useful and significant. Do you know what I mean? I just have no idea. I donā€™t want to sell the items, just have for myself. It can be anything. Maybe a phone case? But phone cases get so dirty and I just know the stickers would peel or rip. HELPšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
