Board

ok so i was in remnant kings a couple of weeks ago and found some waterproof material (no idea what its called but its the kind of stuff fishermans coats are made of?). it was in the bargain bin and it's just a bit bigger than a fat quarter. at first i thought about making a...

Hey everyone I need help! I've made my boyfriend a lot of things already and I'm running out of ideas! I made him a picture college before, etc.. I need some ideas. He moved into his new place and I asked him what he wanted and he doesn't know either. I was thinking of making...

first off I've never done a swap or whatever so i don't know if i can even post this because these boards and what not are kinda confusing. lol. but anyways. . . okay so i don't know if there are mail policies or anything about this or whatever but i was wondering if anyone...

I'll take this one. Be warned, if you're under age, you should just stop right now. I take no responsibilty if you choose to read further at this point. There are a lot of reasons that could be why your boyfriend has lost interest, that have nothing to do with cheating...

So my cousins sweet 16 is coming up this weekend and I'm not sure what to make her. Anyone have ideas? Her fav colors are purple and blue and fav animal is owls. It doesn't matter what kinda of craft mediums! I just need some type of idea to go along with the crochet tiger I...

So, I have about 2 yards of black satin at my apartment, and my mom is sending me about 3 or 4 more yards (maybe more). I don't really ever work with plain fabrics, so I am a bit stumped as to what I should make. I like dresses and skirts, but don't know what styles would look...

I will be starting at a new job soon, and plan to pack my own lunches each morning to save myself money on eating out, but I'm clueless as to what to make! So I was hoping for ideas! Recipes/links (either from here or other sites) for healthy and tasty things that I can whip...

So, summer break is here. Does anyone have the ultimate late summer night Movie? I like most genres but I'm not a big fan of stupid American comedies (no offence to those of you who are). So anything without Adam Sandler, Jim Carey or Ben Stiller makes me happy. Overwhelm me...

Is only 9 days from now. What are you doing/making for your dad or father of your child?

My boyfriend's brother who lives with us is a smoker. Thankfully he smokes outside. However, the cigarette butts in my front porch are driving me insane. Anyone have any good (preferably attractive) diy outdoor ashtray ideas I could use?

Cut-out-and-keepers!!!! I just got a message in my inbox that says that there is an agragultural company wanting to invest $3,000,000.00 dollars in my country..... I've read about these and I deleted it. I'm just saying to keep an eye out. They will ask you to send them money...

We need one -__-

I like this site, I like it a lot. So I get a bit miffed when someone crashes our party with something like this message. Thought maybe we'd like to share this information for any one so can/wants to remove them from our lovely home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From...

Mine is that famous quote some guy said in the revolution "my only regret is that I had but one life to spend for my country" kinda sentimental right?

My daughter wanted to do scrapbooking for her 4H project and at Michaels I found SMASHBOOKS. Now I made smashbooks 20 years ago but they were folded paper with drawings and magazine pictures glued in and stapled together. so knowing I COULD NOT keep my hands off her book, I...

Dearest Crafting Fanatics, I started painting my (trekking) backpack with acrylic paint and thought I'd seal it with the stuff we have at home. But now I'm not so sure it's the right kind of sealant. According to the instructions, it will make most types of fabric waterproof...

i want to make a pair of gladiator sandals for a costume. does anyone know where a good tutorial or something is?? i was thinking of making them from rope or something.

what is the strangest thing you have ever collected in the name of crafts? Mine is the bones from a fish... My hubby eats the fish that they debone at your table...I asked to keep the bones and I did...they reside in a plastic bag with hydrogen peroxide...they are perfect and...

Mainly Swap threads that are closed? When you're looking for an opportunity to participate and swaps that closed a long time ago pop up on the list, it's confusing. I've also seen the comment by moderators, (IE: this thread is 3 years old, might want to start a new one), that...

I know, it's about the dumbest show out there, but I was addicted to Secret Life of the American Teenager, and couldn't have been more bummed by the last season, and espeically the series finale. Such a dumb ending to a tv show. Anyone else out there a SLOAT fan?

Hi crafty gals and guys, I'm wanting to try mental stamping (letters on a wee brass dog tag) but I've not got a bench block (big lump of mental as far as I can see) and feel unwilling to part with 15 for one. Is there something I could use as a cheaper alternative?

My hobby is recycling stuffs.........

I'm finally feeling confident enough with my sewing machine to make myself something to wear. I've got my heart set on a playsuit but can't find any patterns for adult ones! Can anyone help me out? (I'd prefer an actual pattern rather than an printable one.)

does anyone here successfully sell there artwork/craft creations for money and have it as there main source of income? where and how do you sell it? what sort of things sell?

In a discussion with Cupcake Warrior and Arty KitKat it was identified that the Terms and Conditions (T&C) of Facebook contesting are quite rigorous and largely being ignored. Since there are a lot of people using FB for contesting I thought this would be an appropriate place...

Having lost 3.5 stones to help with my arthritis in my knees, I need to alter some size 20 very good dresses down to a 14. Any helpful hints (they are fitted dresses not shifts I might add) please?

Recently there's been a thing on in Sydney called 'Vivid Sydney'. On Saturday, they had a special projection for Doctor Who and I decided to go. I heard that if you were to dress up as a character/monster from it you could enter a competition and win some epic DW stuff so I of...

I know if i search the site heard enough, i may find a tremendously helpful tutorial, but i'm fairly new to this site (and especially to the message board :$) and haven't had much luck with how-tos for these. I eventually found a decent tutorial on deviantart, but if there's...

I want to knit a project on this website. Burger coasters. It calls for 4-ply but it needs to be strong colours, not baby pastels. Any ideas as to where this may be available, I have looked at all sorts of websites and can only find pastels. I've tried using DK on smaller...
