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.

30 min crafts for 10 y/o’s

hey guys! im gonna be a camp counselor this summer and every day the campers will have 30-minute windows of time to do some kind of craft or art. each week has a different theme (animals, ocean, science, pirates, sports, theatre). my group is incoming 5th graders, so the kids will be 9 or 10. i’m having a hard time coming up with crafts that are easy enough to do in 30 minutes but challenging enough to hold their attention. we try to stay away from super messy things like slime or sand. any ideas?

What type of material should a mortar and pestle be to crush quartz?

I have no clue if this is the right place to ask this, but I need to crush quartz into a fine powder and my current methods aren’t cutting it. I only need small amounts and have a budget in the throwing range of 30 dollars. I have 2 weeks or less to decide this and a hair longer than that to get it to me.

Any help would be appreciated, but if anybody had an Amazon link or anything like that then I’d very much appreciate it.

Is this brand of epoxy food safe?

I have this resin lying around and was wondering if i could line the inside of a wooden cup with it. It doesn’t say anywhere specificly food safe, but it says bpa free, non toxic, and voc’s free. Does that mean food safe? Thanks in advance!

Any ideas on a project for a huge piece of tubing?

Buddy of mine and I pulled this big piece of tubing from under a canal that has been sitting for a couple months. Finally went and grabbed it today and looking ideas on what to do with it as a summer project. It’s about a little under 6 feet in length and can reasonably fit either one of us inside. Any ideas?

I just got this badge maker at a garage sale after wanting one for many years. I am unsure on what size badge it makes. Is anyone able to shed some light on what size? I measured and it seems like 59mm. I see that 58mm is super common, so maybe it is that one?

can I use air dry clay to add accents to a desk I'm making?

so, I'm making a desk and had this idea to sand grooves into the wood and fill them with clay

will the clay stick?

what affordable, air dry clay brands available in the UK would you recommend for this kind of project?

all responses are immensely appreciated 🫶

Craft ideas for girlfriend?

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up, and there’s a loose idea I had for something that could be cool for a gift but I don’t know a good way to execute it. I was maybe thinking of getting a stone where the border of the cities where we’re from connects, but I’m not exactly sure of a cute craft idea that could come from that. The only thing I could think of is a necklace or something, but I’m not a craft expert or anything so I don’t know if I could do that very well. Does anyone else have any cool craft ideas I could do with this stone, or have any other ideas similar to this one? Even any services anyone knows of that could do something with it too would be great!

What glue should I use?

Recently I got a waterproof jacket, label says polyester I’m pretty certain for the most part. The inside label has started to peel off in the one corner. My initial thought was just to stick it back down with some superglue but I have a feeling this may go wrong. Any suggestions?

This is Lippy Larry. When I made him my mates laughed, said I shouldn't add him to my store and that he was "stupid". He's now one of my best sellers, be more Larry 💪🏻
