I have been saving bottle caps for a while, to use in projects, but I don't have the glue that most of y'all use. I am a low-budget, use what I've already got crafter, and all I have is Tacky Glue, low-temp hot glue sticks&gun, and clear Elmer's school glue. I have decoupaged...

So I was going through my wardrobe and have found loads of short camis I've outgrown. The material's not that stretchy on most of them and I have a lot of black ones. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or favorite projects on what a beginner like me could use all this...

Hi, I need some inspiration! I am hosting a dinner party for my parents-in-law for their Ruby wedding anniversary (they are also renewing their vows!). I need an idea for a 60's style favour to put on the tables. At first I thought I would make some tie dye party bags and fill...

A friend wanted my help turning a preserved insect into a pendant, but I'm not sure how to go about it. She's already covered it in a poly coating, but we're not sure about how to attach it to a necklace. She doesn't really want to drill through it (and we don't have a drill...

I'm a newbie to Zentangling but they apparently have been around for ages. They also get known as zendalas. Creativemind posted something about them on her blog and ever since I've been addicted. I thought I'd start a thread here as I thought there are bound to be others on...

As the title suggests, I want to find a blank yellow hoodie, not neon, but quite brigt yellow. I don't want it to be too expensive either 10 or under I would say. I want to make a Pikachu hoodie (similar to the one here on CO+K) for my friend for her birthday - she loves...

I actually love swallow jewellery and charms etc, but I CAN'T FIND ANY SWALLOW CHARMS!! I don't really mind what size they are, a variety would be nice but around about an inch could be best.. I'm in the UK, and dont want to have to pay more than a few quid for a multipack of...

So, for the longest time, I've wanted to learn how to make metal jewelry--as in, not just stick premade charms, etc., together, but actually make the charms and rings and so on. I know a few of you know how to do this; how would I start?? I guess it's probably "lost wax...

Four times a year my girlfriends and I do a secret gift exchange. This time we decided to do a 'regifting' exchange, where we can only use things in our house OR we can only trade things in our house for other things - no buying allowed! The person I drew is a funky cool new...

Hokay, so, as is old news, I moved to the Holyland last year. Passover is just around the corner (during Holy Week, lol), and since our apartment is one of mixed culture--essentially Catholicism and Jewishness, I want to decorate for Easter, but still have a Passovery feel as...
