Share your crafts, tutorials, tips, and questions on all things craft related!

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.

Ugly Red Fire Alarm = exciting craft opportunity!

Hello! My condo complex recently installed these ugly red fire alarms in my condo and immediately my mind went to "I'm want to turn this into something beautiful!" I am thinking of cutting out a hole the size of the alarm in some poster board and turning it into a red flower or an octopus. Definitely going for a bohemian vibe in my condo. I'd really appreciate ideas, tutorial video links, suggestions of any kind! I'm pretty new to being crafty :)

Printing template on dark green envelope

Hi!!

I'm making my own wedding invitations, and have decided on hand-addressing green envelopes in white ink.

My only problem is that it's been a few years since I practiced calligraphy and even with guidelines it turns out a bit messy.

I was wondering if I printed the text on the envelopes in black ink if it would show enough for me to essentially trace onto the envelope?

I have already tried using a lightbox but the envelope is too thick for that to work. I also have a small projector so another possibility is setting it up so I can project a guide but on such a small space I think doing the calligraphy without shadows completely blocking it would be super difficult.

Any advice would be appreciated!!

How would I go about removing this lining and replacing it? I don’t like how it’s coming loose. What would I need to use to glue more lining down?

Wedding dress fabric ideas

Hi everyone. Hoping Reddit can help me, I am having my wedding dress made bespoke. My best friend (who is like a sister to me), has insisted on paying towards my dress as a gift. It’s so generous of her.

I’ve recently been for my first fitting and it’s looking great. There is some pieces of fabric remaining, and I was thinking I could do something with it and incorporate it into a gift for my best friend. Problem is, I can’t think of anything. So I am reaching out to Reddit to see if anyone has any ideas.

Hi! for my bffs birthday I play to make her a doll replica of their fav d&d character. How would you go about making this staff? I was going to just try to find a good stick but I fear it might be impossible to find one similar enough. it’d be about 10 inches

Advice on paint!

Hi! Not sure if this is the right spot to ask this, but worth a shot. Google isn't really helping. We just got a giant 3,000 gallon rain barrel to collect rain water. It's an ugly thing just chilling in front of our garage. My husband said I could paint a mural on it if I wanted. So that's what I'm going to do. My problem is I've only ever painted on canvas. So I'm not sure what kind of paint to use. It's made out of a plastic, polyethylene I think. What would be the best paint to use for that? Obviously something that will stick to it well and can withstand being outside in the sun and rain and various elements. Thanks for any advice or recommendations!
