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.

Looking to get into kinda get into a craft that would not take more than $50 to start. Not looking at knitting or crochet. I have done some cros-stiching. Kinds looking at craft kits on ali express. Thanks.
Ive gotta trunk just like this, but in an ugly mint green color i cant stand. Im wanting to make it look like something found in a 1930’s attic.
Im not sure if i have to actually strip the fake leather off and paint over the bare metal, paint/dye the fake leather, or actually rewrap it myself. Im fine with any option, just need to know before i do it.
Im looking for the name of this specific sprinkle type. And if you know a web page where I can buy it? I already ordered bugle beads but this is what I actually wanted. Thanks!
I am a struggling! I decided I wanted to get my mom one of those "family tree" decors with little hanging pictures for Christmas. It has 12 pictures frames (so far I've only chosen 11 people). Where I am needing advice or help with is I don't know where to orient the photos! So far the people I have is My Mom, Her sister, Her brother, Her other brother, My dad, Me, My partner, my Brother, His partner, My grandma, My Grandpa (who recently passed). I don't know if I should have my brother and I as were the youngest and go down to oldest, where to include our partners, or my mom and her siblings or start older and descend younger, I don't knoww. Please help :'(
I’m working on some appliqué Christmas gnomes and really didn’t want to use pins since it can distort/move material this thick. Clips also wouldn’t work for some of the elements if they didn’t reach to the edges. That’s when I remembered my set of hijab magnets and turns out they work perfectly for keeping things in place without damaging or distorting anything! Pretty cheap to obtain as well. Hope this helps someone with similar problems! 🩶
I want to make my sister and I custom sweatshirts, so I bought the materials, but I then thought that glitter would be a nice touch for what I’m making. Do you think there’s any way to adhere the glitter to the iron ons so that they don’t all just wash off and cause unspeakable tragedy in the laundry machine? Obviously I’m not expecting this thing to last forever, but if it means that it’s essentially a wearable glitter bomb for the rest of its time on earth then I’ll probably just skip it.
I glued this scrapbook paper to a wooden board and need it glued on more. Would mod podge work? I’ve looked it up and I’m hoping that coating the paper will make it stay and stick. I’m using this as a chess board
Hi guys! It's my friend's birthday and we're doing a night on the town, thought it would be cool to make a sash that spells out "happy birthday" but in lights? Do we think fairy lights or led strips might make it eligible? I've seen some do a border on the sash w fairy lights, but it would be cool to actually make the letters in lights. Any ideas would be super appreciated, thanks!
I’m trying to make a phone strap and need to buy these as the base. The reviews on most of them are not great and report rusting. Anyone found any good ones?
First stab at a frame and a flower I made a while ago.
I'm wondering if there's a way to seperate the sharp metal part of a push pin and the plastic. Preferably without melting somehow. Tried medical tweezers and just scraped the plastic. Any tips? Want them in two pieces
hi, to anyone reading this and has made shrinky drinks—what coloring medium is recommended for the craft? and are alcohol based markers a safe option or would it just catch fire and blow up in the oven?
Hi! So I just decoupaged some fabric onto my phone case, 2 layers of mod podge followed by a layer of acrylic matte varnish.
Unfortunately there are some small air bubbles caused by the fabric expanding, and it’s actually lifted away from the case in those little spots (I even used a carpet adhesive base!)
Is there something I can do from the outside to flatten it and stick it down? Bearing in mind it’s now sealed with acrylic 💀 will heat work? Something else?
I would like to start sewing primarily to make cosplays. Would you recommend going to a sewing class or can I learn through watching tutorials online? What helped you out the most when you were first starting out?
Just not sure yet if I'm in to the holidays.
