Me and one of my girl friends went out shopping today for a project she had in mind for father's day. She wants to make a flying paper lantern in memory of her grandpa. She has almost everything she needs to make it, but we can't seem to find fire proofing product. We went to...

I've had my hair pink and purple since February, and I'll be using up the last of my pink dye in 2 weeks, so I want ideas of what to try next. Green is totally out of the question because I know it looks horrible when it washes out. I just have no idea what colour will suite...

I see a lot of people using this to make jewelry and other really nice things, but I'm a crazy newb and haven't heard of it before, where can I get some to experiment with?

So I found a little sack of marbles that I had when I was younger. I wanted to reuse them for something, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. So I was wondering if all you crafty kids on here could throw some fun ideas my way.

I want to make bags and a purse and some plushies but I don't know what type of fabric to use for any of them. I went to my local haberdashery and all the materials felt thin (to me) and some were 9.99 for just a metre. how should I decide what fabric to use?

Could someone PLEASE post the instructions for the duct tape rose ring. I have searched this site and found NADA. I have googled and googled for days and have only found how to make the rose which is too tall for a ring. There is some sites where you can purchase a PDF...

Just finished drawing the tutorial for a Beaded 3D watermelon charm, I used seed beads, adopting the Right Angle Weave technique. You can always differ the size of the beaded watermelon by changing the bead size, you can even use crystal for bigger beaded crystal watermelons....

My mom bought me a prom dress in a charity shop to use for fabric. It's way to big for me to just alter, but its got a layer of flowery fabric, a layer of black fabric and a layer of netting that I can separate. Any ideas of what I could make? ^_^

I got a dress today that I ordered online and it fits perfectly expect for in the bust area. The dress has a slip with cups sewn into it . My own cup size is much boggier then the cups sewn into the dress, so there's a very awkward bulge (so it looks like I have 4 boobs o_o)....

How do you choose which type of eyes to put on a soft toy that you have made? Buttons? Googly eyes? Thread? Felt? And when you have decided what type, how do you decide what colour? Or whether to give the toy eyelashes (or use googly eyes which have lashes on them? I'm curious...

Hi! I've got two questions for you guys: So, I've been thinking of dyeing my hair blue for the summer, but I'm feeling a little apprehensive on bleaching all of my hair first. Right now, my hair is copper/ginger with a blond streak. I was wondering if I could just put blue dye...

Well, its not as epic as it sounds. I was just looking online and found this cool looking tie purse made of one tie. Its different from the ten minute tie purse tutorial we have here. Do you know of any how to steps on how to make a tie purse like these or maybe make a how to...

So I got a new pair of jeans yesterday and of course they're way too long (I'm about 5 foot NOTHING and these jeans have a day long worth of extra material). Sadly I'm no seamstress with very basic sewing knowledge, and I was wondering if I could hem these without a sewing...

Hey, A few weeks ago I came across a blog where this person was finding jewellery in magazines and the catwalk and made tutorials for her own versions. I'm desperate to find the site again but can't for the life of me find it any where. Anyone have any suggestions? *high five*...

I LOVE the yellow circle skirt that is all over pinterest, but the directions link is down I've been trying to find directions, but can't find anything about how to do the waist to get that great bow in back. Does anyone have them? Thanks!!!

I'm a big crafter but I have no idea how to apply that to my relationship. I've made some origami and little clay charms and I'm in the middle of a project with poems and lyrics but I need other ideas that are romantic and thoughtful but not too feminine with flowers and...

I'm looking to start making buttons to sell and want to see what you lovely people think. It seems to me that badge-a-minit is not a favourite but I don't know anyone that's used it. Is it a good starter or should i just by-pass it? Leaning towards buying off...

I've been sewing since I was a very wee lass, but recently scored with a butt load of patterns on sale. I've made elaborate costumes, clothing, purses etc in the past-- but none from patterns. All from things I would make up on my own. Now that I want to use these patterns, I...

Help! My machine is playing up - zig-zag stitch is coming out more like a line of Y's (YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY - just like that!) I've tried adjusting the tension as per my manual but still YYYYYY's!! Any ideas?
