    or ebay - you can get most things on ebay but you may need to put something in the search bit that shows you're not looking for real ones.

    There's also a lot of duplicates of projects which were popular a couple of years ago. Some of them were even featured and have then been featured again but by different people. I know that is probably totally innocent but people probably need to check before uploading a how to or creation to see if its already on the site.
    On the issue of people adding projects from pinterest there is the option to say whether you've made a project inspired by something else online. Its not good though if someone is knowingly stealing someones idea and pics and posting them as their own.

    you could try pouring it into a small glass jar or small tin (like vasaline lip balm comes in) and then put the lipstick on with a brush.

    You can get tools to create tear off strips. I think they're like a wheel with a handle and the wheel has lots of little teeth and as you wheel it along it creates a perforated sheet. I haven't seen one for years and years though and don't know what they're called :/

    I'm okay at crocheting but have never attempted anything like a plush and think that might be a bit beyond me. I was thinking of sewing it out of something like fleece. I've got a pinterest board I'm pinning pics of them on and pics of any of the suggestions people are adding here. I think I'll have to start with a small one and then if the pattern works make a bigger one.

    Anything that relates to some of the popular memes always goes down well on Etsy, Ebay etc. Also things that are a bit geeky in theme as you know that your customers will already enjoy shopping online and enjoy surfing the web. You could also try making some crocheted brooches, mug cosies, jewellery. Also if you're selling your stuff online make sure you make good use of the free social media that can be used for marketing your stuff. It can really help drive traffic to your shop. Facebook and twitter are good ones to use. Also make sure your product shots do anything you make justice. I know you are still in the planning stage but it can make a massive difference to your sales.

    I've been pinning every cartoon or plush similar to get ideas. It helps to know they're called water bears too. I'm thinking I might need to use some elastic round the nossel thingy so that it has that hoover bag appearance that they seem to have.

    My bf's work department have decided to adopt the tardigrade as their work mascot (???) and want me to make them one. I've found some pics - one here - http://www.ign.com/blogs/skeevin/2012/08/15/volus-are-real-and-the-bbc-has-revealed-their-secret-origins
    I haven't the foggiest how to even start this or what to make it from - it sounds as if they'd like it to be a plush type toy. It looks to me like an alien hoover bag to me so any suggestions or ideas how to recreate one would be very welcome Happy

    I usually use sharpies and then if I want to add colour or shine after they've cooked I paint them with nail varnish.
