This subreddit is for sharing your tutorials, tips, images, 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.

Friends and I decorated some tumblers with stickers as party favours. How would you go about sealing the stickers so I can wash my tumbler?

I hope this is ok to ask here. Celebrated a friend's birthday last night and as part of his theme, his fiancée got as all blank tumblers and stickers to decorate them with. I want to be able to wash it without damaging or outright losing the stickers. If it helps, the tumbler itself has a sort of rubber-ish coating on the outside. I think the stickers are vinyl (paper stickers with a kind of plastic layer, very glossy).

Cheer water bottle

So I customized a water bottle for my daughter and I'm in the process with sticker armor to see if their product will work for protecting it somewhat, but I wanted to know if anyone else had good experience using them to protect anything but stickers on a water bottle. I have rhinestones and posca paint markers on it.

Drilling into Acetate sunglasses

https://preview.redd.it/cqvkqlkykhcd1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46c2b538263a1e387679e09704ecfce51567b174

Hi everyone, I've been wanting to embellish my acetate sunglasses with a hoop. I got this idea from the glasses in the picture. Unfortunately when I bought these, the frame didn't look good on my face. I found a pair that looks good on me and I'd like to add a hoop myself. My question is, does anyone know the best way to drill into acetate without breaking it? The hard part here seems drilling in a hole. I'm happy to take to a professional too, I just don't know who would do work like this. Any advice appreciated. I can buy the tool needed assuming its not super expensive.

Has anyone used Silicone kits from Temu?

Hi, I decided to buy a Silicone rubber kit on Temu because I can't afford ones online and I was wondering is it any good because I'm trying to make badges and replicate them.

Please give me your honest reviews.

thanks

How do you dome with UV resin without it coming off of the shrink plastic

So basically I watched a bunch of videos regarding shrink plastic doming then found out that just doming the shrink plastic straight away with UV resin would lead to it coming off easily. Have you had this problem and how did you overcome it? Your ideas are much appreciated:3

question about shrinky dinks!!

first time user here!

for some reason, mine keep getting extremely warped and i was thinking that maybe it was because i have only tried fairly large designs (image 1: 15x20cm, image 2: 9x11 cm) and wanted to know if that was an issue for anyone else? does anyone have any advice on how to stop this warping?

I’m using clear sheets and permanent markers, and wondering the following:

  • Is it possible to colour both sides of the sheet?
  • Can you add more colour after baking?

Ideas on how to make this golfcart look like a cow?

As the title says, we are turning this golfcart into a cow. Do any of you crafty people have ideas on what we could do? We are going to put black vinyl spots on it, but that's all we've come up with.

Paper Pop Up Book - Diagonal pop up

Hi! I’m trying to make a pop-up book for school, and I want to have a diagonal pop up wall sticking up when the pages are laying flat.

Problem is, I don’t know how to do that. Do I do a parallel fold? A V-fold? No idea.

Please help!!
