I have a brilliant idea from a tuffstone sculpture I have seen. It was a duck that hangs from the ceiling and moves with even minor drafts, now I work with sculpey a lot, but I am thinking paper mache' at this point, it can be tougher in a lot of ways. You put really stiff...

My friend LOVES quagsire, its her favorite pokémon. But I'm not really sure how to make one.. I'm not good enough at drawing him to make a template, and even if I could I'm not sure how to add the arms as they're sort of attached in the front, not a part of the body. If anyone...

I don't have a double boiler or a microwave, so how can I melt glycerin to make my own soaps? Any ideas?

Alright, lets start from the beginning. I had inseptic meningitis for a short period of time as a child, yes it was a rough time, but blessings come in disguises. Despite this, I am an intermediate photographer and I have had pictures published in coffee table books. But...

Wow...you have some Russian rubles, I'm jealous! I have some old coins pre-Euro from when we were stationed in Germany (German, French, England, Korea, etc) that I might can scare up for you if you'd like. I'll see where my baggie got hidden.

Finally got it done today! I'm soo happy with how it turned out and I'm probably going to be doing the other side soon. [IMG]http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i456/Veronies09/PICT0953.jpg[/IMG] I just got done dying it a violet black color and I'm excited to see how it is...

I recommend the Vtech Storio! My daughter got one for her birthday and she Loves it! Makes her feel dead grown up that she has her own "piputer" (computer haha!)

I'm doing a Polaroid-inspired project for my older sister as her wedding gift. It's a pillow with an embroidered pocket that mimics a Polaroid. What I need to know is the dimensions of a traditional Polaroid photo, so I know how big to print the picture I'm using and how large...

I'm pretty new at major crafting, before I used to only sew up holes in my clothes, fix plushies etc. Never tried to create anything.. I made a pokeball, and it turned out okay, and I made a smaller ball, and my most recent project is a bunny cube which is coming along...

This is probably a silly question, but I thought I'd ask you lovely people anyway. I need to jazz up a wooden photo frame as part of my boyfriend's birthday present (it's destined to become a mini magnetic noticeboard for his new room at uni); unfortunately, I have no funds...

I need to take pictures to show what I am selling. I have a digital camera. Should I just take simple pictures showing what I am selling or try to make the pictures look posher? Any tips would be appreciated.

I have seen some awesome Steampunk stuff online, so I am working on some original ideas inside my head. (Which is always my first creative step)The Steampunk keyboard is amazing and the Mariner's Flash Drive is easy and way cool. I am not trying to get ideas for this kind of...

How do they work? My basic understanding is that you post a topic, ask for a swap i.e. ask for a fabric swap, person 1 makes a pillow and person 2 makes a plushie. But, what do you do then..? I'm really new to CO+K so I dont know much.

So my mom tried them a while ago, and bought me a pack to try out as soon as I got home for vacation. They are totally awesome. I put them on pretty quickly and since there's no dry time, I was free to go groom my cat as soon as they were on. I even used them on my toenails! I...

I've been dyeing my hair for the past 4 years now, generally every 3 months and I've never had problems before. Every time I dye my hair I bleach it first because normally I change the colour completely. I've never had a situation where my hair falls out or anything like that...

Hi all I want to make some of these fab comic book shoes that keep popping up on the site, but I've not been able to find Outdoor Mod Podge at a price I can afford (*sniff sniff* I ish poooooor!). Does anyone know of a cheap alternative I can use? Alternatively, does the...

I have seen many projects concerning making stuff from photo negatives. But none really inspire me and I have a lot of those, being an intermediate photographer. Any ideas?

When you go to haberdashery/fabric/craft shop you are greeted with walls/shelves of gadgets and gizmos. How do you decide which you need and which you want? (Apparently there's a difference!) I just managed to make my first straight hem - just by purchasing the simple little...

Hi guys i've checked on the web & stuff but sounds to complicated so can someone tell me a easy way to learn hot to measure your head to make a hat? THANKS!

My mother found these things called fabric yoyo's about five years ago. Ever since then my mother has been stuck on them. She wants me to make vests and quilts and animals out of these things. In order to make yoyo's though you have to hand sew and when I hand sew my hands get...

I have noted that many crafters are gothic. If one is not near a Hot Topic Store or anything like that, you have to make your own items. Of course, Hot topic is quite lacking. You may find online shopping to be the way, but if you do not have a credit or debit card, you are...

I have a lot of these tiny eyelets and I thought I could use them for scrap-booking which I do often, so I was wondering how you use them - do you need some sort of machine to punch them down? Thanks
