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.

Spray paint crinkles on pots

Only once in a while this happens, I’m not sure why that is. I wash and clean the pots before hand and make sure there is no residue of any kind left over. It never covers the entire pot, only small parts/sections. What is happening, and what can I do to stop/prevent this?

Pens for felt food (UK)

Hi! Tried using the search but couldn’t find anything. I’m struggling to find an answer on google/amazon for what pens I can use to draw on felt? Especially ones that are precise and don’t bleed. For context, I’m making my little boy felt food for his play kitchen and want to make things like crisp packets and draw the logo etc on them rather than sew it on. Thank you!

Rub n Buff - layering

I rub n buffed an item (gold leaf) and while I like it, I’ve sorta changed my mind on the direction. Is it possible to change the color by going over it with a different rub n buff (ebony)?

Can you cut through resin without ruining it?

I bought this snow man and I’m thinking about trying to cut off the hat in order to add a bit and then possibly add it back. The materials list it as “100% resin”. Would a miter saw work to cut it without completely destroying it?

DIY gifts for Christmas

I will be having my first baby within the next few weeks. Obviously I will be on maternity leave and my fiance and I will be strapped for cash. I won't have any money to purchase Christmas presents so I'm trying to think of DIY crafts that center around our baby. Any ideas? I was thinking handmade ornaments for my fiance and our family but that's as much as I can come up with lol

Longtime lurker... r/crafts gives me such joy :-)

A bit of a random one...

I just wanted to say, I'm a long-time lurker in r/crafts (amongst many other reddits), but it just dawned on me how much joy posts from this forum gives me each time I open Reddit!

In a world of such negativity and problems, there's something so profoundly Human and Beautiful about people happily making such lovely little things and sharing them, just because of the sheer joy of it.

If aliens ever arrive... I hope they judge our race by the sorts of things going on in r/crafts :-)

Homemade party bags

My friend is throwing me a birthday party and I’d like to give out party bags (I’m in my 30s but it’s cute!). I don’t have much money right now but I do have a lot of art materials. What are some things I could make for the party bags?

My campfire

I made a few of large ones, but I needed some small ones. This is the 1st one. I ran out of moss. I'm not sure if I should add anything.
