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.

I have flowers from my late grandpa's memorial service that I'm pressing/3D preserving for all my cousins.
I preserved/dried the 3D flowers (roses) in flower drying crystals and all went well but how should I seal them so they aren't so fragile? I was thinking mod-podge or some clear glaze spray paint. Any recommendations?
I live in a college town, and a lot of people don’t care too much about their stuff at the end of the semester and throw out a lot of nice/cool things. I just found mannequin arms in a dumpster, and (after giving them a THOROUGH cleaning) I want to figure out some kind of craft I can do with them. they’re black, plastic, and none of the parts are bendable. feel free to contribute any ideas that may come to mind :)
Hello,
I finished painting my 2 piece pleather outfit with Angelus leather paints and even though my project is definitely dry, when I wipe very hard, a bit of color is left on the tissue. It isn't paint consistency, is the consistency of eyeshadow. If I put a towel over the project and use an iron, can that fully set the paint?
I'm getting a head start on Halloween decor and will need a bunch of newspaper. Sadly, I haven't collected much over the years as we don't get the right kind of newspaper material for paper mache. I contacted a local newspaper company and they said I could buy 50 copies for $10, but I would prefer to try some free options first. Aside from contacting local colleges and neighbors, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Trying to use/organize all the odds and ends I've collected and held on to over the years...making some bookmarks...maybe put a box of them up at my lical library for folks to take for free? Anyone have any ideas for me?
Why can’t I find any answers on the Internet about this?
.
Ideal would be a stick on wheel beneath the paper. I want swivel joints without the big ugly pin :)
Hello! I was recently gifted a bunch of tulle alongside some fabrics I needed for an unrelated project, and I'm wondering if anyone would like to show off their tulle projects to help with some inspiration, or just share any cool crafts they've seen/heard of?
When I was looking around online, I found a limitless number of dresses, tutus, bows and basic pompom/bow accessories, and while there were a few things I found interesting (attaching tulle to lighting, wreaths, and embroidery), a lot of the results were very repetitive.
Tulle's fun texture seems under-appreciated, so if anyone had particularly creative uses for tulle, I would love to see them!
Hello all, im making suncatchers with gallery glasss paints, and Im wanting to make a custom shape suncatcher, ive got some thin sheets of plastic, however when I tried cutting them into the shape i wanted, my xacto knife let me down. Wondering if theres any easy ways to cut plastic without it splintering and cracking.
I would include a picture but the suncatcher is going to resemble a dissected frog, and I dont want to disturb any of the more sensitive viewers of this post (no shade intended)(i dont use reddit much so idk how to put a spoiler over pics lol)
Thanks for reading please help if you can 🙏🙏
from regular wear, stored folded up, and especially in the wash
Hi I’ve used the machine for paper and shrink plastic . I was told it works with balsa wood as well. Can anyone please suggest how to set up the plates for successfully cutting ? I am getting an impression, not a cut. The thickness of the balsa is: approx.2mm / 0.08 inches Using regular dies. Thanks!
Just bought some matching frames, printed the silhouettes, and had some fun with buttons, flowers, jewels, etc. Such a simple and fun project and my niece loves them ❤️.
