Thank you jaeger42 for our reddit alien!!

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

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.

Thank you for the wonderful response on my last bead or no bead post. So now... do pentagrams work on these earrings or are the images too cartoonish for a pentagram?

I am thinking too that these might be great keychains... with a larger pentagram, maybe. 🤔

230V machine (Singer M2605) into 110V outlet

(wasn't able to post on r/sewing for low karma ...)

Greetings,

I bought a Singer M2605 in France, the model is a 230V per the label below the machine. I now have moved to Colombia where they use 110V outlet (similar to the USA). I used a regular adapter, similar to the one I used for y laptop, but needle wouldnt move even tough I could hear some "electricity sounds" (for lack of better words, meaning the machine does receive power but I expect it to be to weak to make the machine functions properly). Of course I unplugged it and will not plug it again before I found a fix.

What would be the solution to have the machine works here ? Could I buy a transformer or would I have to change the motor ?

Thank you for your help

Faux Fur Pom Poms

I am a knitter and love to put pom poms on my knitted hats. I’ve bought some poms on Amazon and the quality wasn’t the greatest. They are super expensive other places I’ve looked, so I’m considering making my own. Is it worth it? Any suggestions on where to find good quality faux fur?

Best Paint for Inflatables?

Hi all! I’ve got my eye on a fun inflatable that I want to paint to look like another character. I’m wondering if you good folks might have a recommendation for the best paint to do that with? I’m thinking some type of fabric paint and a sealant to handle weather and whatnot but it also needs to withstand being deflated and folded and stored. Is that asking too much? Any insight is very much appreciated!! :)

Falcaria flowers, 39 x 31 inches, acrylic, plaster, epoxy resin on canvas. This plant is a weed that grows in steppes and fields. Flower bouquets consist of many small white flowers, so they look openwork, especially at sunset, which illuminates them.

Suggestions on how to preserve fall foliage?

I have a project where I want to include some fall foliage and I'm debating the best way to do so. My initial though was to sandwich the leaves between some lamination sheets. But I'm concerned they will still rot as they contain moisture. Dry them out first (how?). This project will be handled alot and potentially by kids so it needs to be durable.

Anyone done this before and share your methods?

How do I get rid of the rough and ugly parts of a pearlized shell?

I have tried the vinegar baking soda solution but it didn’t work. Also, it’s hard to make the solution avoid the pearlized portions of the seashells. Even if I try to chip the ugly parts off with something sharp, it’s hard to avoid chipping the pearlized portions. And sometimes the rough ugly parts wouldn’t even budge while I’m trying to chip it off with something sharp. They are hard to get rid off.

Sometimes I’d get these almost perfect pearlized shells. But then I would have these little portions of defects hanging on for dear life. I want at least some perfect shells to incorporate into jewelry making.
