And it's overwhelming all the ideas!! Please only comment if you struggle with this at all, because I think people who don't struggle with it don't have any right or something to help people who do, since they never deal with it themselves!

Hi! After a particularly busy year I finally have time to get into crafting again. I went through my fabric for inspirations, and I realized I'm way overflowed with scraps. I really want to use them up before I do any other projects, but I can't think of anything to make out...

I was wondering, I've seen some people with lots of posted projects (200+, wow!) and I was wondering, what do you do once you're done? I doubt anyone keeps every creation they make, I know I sure don't have room to. I usually keep my favorites, and give away the rest to my...

Hello crafty people! I was wondering if you would all be able to do me the huge favour of giving me a few minutes of your time to read about a proposal, and answer a few questions afterwards. A group of people and myself have come up with an idea we would very much like to put...

As the title states this is about user names! I feel with social networks, bloggers, and self made business types being bigger then ever that it is so important to make a good name for yourself in the online world. I'd love to run my own blog and online business one day. And...

Hello! Some time ago I created my own blog to share some of my craft projects and my thoughts about random things. You are very welcome to visit it! http://aneniine.blogspot.com/ Feel free to comment and maybe add some suggestions, I will be glad to hear them!

I am doing a project with a steel coffee can And I can't get the last bits of label off!! I can't use water because I don't want it to rust. I have tried nail polish remover which got the sticky parts off that where not covered by label and windex, which I read online would...

Alright, so I have a problem. My mom asked her friends to start saving me their egg cartons, so that I can use them to mix paints in. This was very sweet. Unfortunately, Styrofoam egg cartons do not work for paints, because they are not air tight. No matter how tightly I wrap...

Me and My Mother are looking for a pattern for yarn dogs they were popular in 1960's craft books they are not crochet or knitting they are like tied bunches of yarn and that is all they are except the eyes and nose if anyone has this pattern we would love to have it. Thanks

So I sometimes go on Etsy to get ideas for charms that I want to make. Recently I've decided that I want to sell some of my creations. For some of the charms that I "favorited", the desrciption that the sellers put underneath the charm says "no molds, machinery, or paint used...

I'm searching for a T-rex style dinosaur pattern - does anyone know of a free pattern I could use? A sewing pattern though - I can't knit or crochet! Thanks

I was sitting in my room, contemplating the meaning of the universe when I came up with the brilliant idea of painting my flashlight/lantern with glow-in-the-dark nail polish. But then, after careful consideration, I remembered that nail polish is flammable and it probably...

I want to put fimo/polymer clay into bottle caps for different projects, will the bottlecaps survive the oven does anyone know?

Hi Everyone! I have been working at a summer camp in California for the last 5 years and have loved every moment of it. I am currently the Art Director and wondered if anyone had any knowledge of where to get camp supplies in bulk. Specifically friendship bracelet threads...

Craft fever - when you get the urge to make something, you make one, then you make a whole shoebox full of more of them! What are you currently obsessed with making? For me right now, it's post cards, mini notebooks, and soaps!

...to just make a whole lot of one thing? I recently got back from a trip to Punta Cana... and of course I bought some souvenirs. I bought two stone turtles with marble shells, and one wooden turtle. Now, I've only worked with clay a few times before (when I was a young...

i have a badge machine that i no longer use - it makes cute 1 inch button badges (metal ones, not crappy plastic ones) i used it for my final project in my illustration degree, it is easy to use and i still have quite a lot of the fixings left. if anyone is interested then...

I have seen a lot of crafty sticker making machines, but nothing has ever seemed like it will make bumper stickers that won't wash off or fade. I want to make bumper stickers for one of my Etsy shops and one of the local comic book and card stores, but haven't been able to...

I am currently attending The Art Institute of California and it's a great school don't get me wrong but it's extremyl expensive and i had a mental breakdown the other day (i have bipolar disorder) and i just feel like i don't really need to go there in order to accomplish my...

Is anyone here into any of that stuff? my family is extremely spiritual and into white magic, talking to angels, spirit guides, past life regression, tarot card reading, astral projection. I just currently started with aromatherapy and crystal healing and it's really fun, any...
