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.

Is this a good thumbnail for a craft tutorial?

Is this thumbnail too basic? It’s for a tutorial on how to make the wooden mushrooms in the picture. I make craft videos (but not many people each them!). I want the thumbnail image to be interesting but I also like to keep a feeling of calm and simplicity.

Any thoughts?

Water Soluble Paper for Paper Soap Making

Hello, everyone!!

I chose to make paper soap for a project and the material for that will be water-soluble paper. However, I'm worried that the water-soluble paper might dissolve immediately once I apply the liquid hand soap. I tried asking one seller, the only one who replied out of the many sellers I asked, and they said it might dissolve.

However, when I saw the reviews of other buyers of the same product from different sellers, they said the product worked in making paper soap. I want to chat with them and ask for the steps on how they did it, but there's no such feature on Shopee haha. Also, the videos I see online related to this don't use water-soluble paper, but rather bond paper which does not dissolve.

So, may I ask if any of you have experience in making paper soap using water-soluble paper? How did you guys do it? Thank you! 😊🫶

How can I remove the clear coat on this travel mug

I hope this is the right sub (if not suggestions would be appreciated) I love this mug but someone put it in the dishwasher and the protective clear coat started peeling off. I tried heating it with a hair dryer, rubbing alcohol and scrubbing it with a soft plastic toothpaste tube but nothing is working (only tried the tube because I don't want to scratch the design).

What methods can I use to mend this hat?

It's a woven touque/beanie and I know I've seen ways to do it but I don't remember them. I Sew and crochet, I have a lot of different threads, yarns, and tools I could use, I'm just not sure HOW to do it. Any suggestions I could look into are helpful! It's my dad's favourite hat.

Beach house in progress!

This set has been SO fun to make so far. Usually the sets I make are very retro and vintage but this one is so unique! Makes me feel like I’m going on vacation while making it LOL

5 months ago a customer......

bought a product from me, that customer was Diane Morgan. A month later I was on the set of Mandy for the BBC watching my commissioned puppets come to life. The show is out on Iplayer today (S3 ep5) and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me! You never know what opportunities might come your way 😊.

Painting with acrylics on luggage (glossy nylon). Do I need to seal it? It so, does the base material matter in picking a sealant?

My luggage looks just like everyone else's and putting ribbons on the handle isn't enough to stand out anymore, so I decided to paint mine.

The whole bag isn't going to be painted, just some small sections on it. This is the first pass, just the base for one color, but you can see most of the bag is going to be left as-is:

I've done a bunch of googling, but I can't really find a good answer as to if I need to seal it.

If I do seal it, think the sealant will help hold the paint to the bag? I'm a little worried it might peel right off (though the nylon material is kind of a tight mesh/woven sort of, so I'm hoping the texture will help the paint hold).

Ceramic tray for clay

I have been getting into making clay jewellery and I had originally bought a silicone mat but I have found that the dust collects on the mat and gets on to the clay.

Doing a bit of research I have seen that ceramic tiles would be great and dust wouldn’t stick to it.

Does anyone have any good places where I could find a ceramic tray.

Also just for info I am based in the UK.

How to make a hole in a thin piece of iron (2mm) without a drill?

I have a flat 2 cent piece (Euro, so made of iron and copper) that I want to drill a small hole into. But I don’t have a small enough drill and would like to avoid buying one at the moment. Is there anything I can use that I have at home, like screws or a hammer and a nail? I don’t really care if it takes long.

Thanks!
