fuzzy cherry dice ideas

[sippin-juice.livejournal.com]

i want to make my best friend fuzzy cherry dice for her new car. i had this tutorial once on how to make a normal square one and it had a styrofoam cube in it, with fabric on top, and it looked super easy. Could I duplicate this but with a sphere styrofoam ball? how would i go about making the fabric go in a circle?

any one have any ideas on how to do that or other ways to make the cherry part? thanks :D

psshh, text-only because i said so and im awesome, thats why. :P

Frilly Choker

[greenjeanz.livejournal.com]

I apologize for my recent absence, I haven't done anything crafty in a while because of my grandad passing.
I started up again and bought new materials and crap so here I am!
I made a frilly decorated choker necklace earlier. If I ever make and sell anything it will probably be some of these.

Question

[aunty-social.livejournal.com]

What is the best way to go about making compartments in Altoid tins? The rectangular ones, of course. :)
I have some cardstock, which I would think would be too flimsy, and I have some really heavy cardboard, which is going to be too thick.

Suggestions would be appreciated. :)

SF bay area - best fabric stores?

[tyrsalvia.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how many of you are in the bay area, but I figured this was worth asking. I'm having a pirate-theme party pretty soon, and have been thinking about trying to sew something for my costume. My last experience at the local JoAnn's left something to be desired, so I was wondering if anyone here might have better suggestions.

I live in Redwood City, would prefer somewhere on the penninsula, but anywhere from San Francisco to San Jose is fine. I'm looking for decent prices and a really wide variety of cheaper fabrics that would work well for costumes and basic skirts, cotton or blends. Thanks!

A "what can you do with..."post

[chocoboprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm taking my permit test (for driving) Monday and I'm nervous as hell, so I decided to clean my room up to get my mind off it. I've come across a lot of stuff, I'm wondering if you all have ideas as to what I could do/make with this stuff!

--Oodles of that plastic string stuff...I'm thinking it's called lanyard? The stuff people used to make those bead creatures out of.
--Oodles of ponybeads, all different colors
--The board to actual board games, along with the pieces and dice
--Unlimited amount of seedbeads
--Super thin wire and super thin elastic
--Old folders for school (like the type with designs/pictures on the front)
--Plain see-through CD cases
--A Twister mat
--Pop-open Pokeball things
--Old NES controllers that don't work

I know most of that is kinda random but I just can't make myself throw it away, I know there has to be some use for it all! *is a pack-rat*

Making Marshmellows :3

[kilayi-s74r.livejournal.com]

I found a recipe for making them and planned on making some for bob... (He gets almost everything i make nowadays XD)

( Recipe )

...
I know its easier to buy marshmellows, but the novelty of making them as a gift is cool... >.>

Oh and watch out for your hair... I somehow coated the end of my braid in sugar syrup...XD
Also, if this is deemed "uncrafty" I will not mind having it removed by mods

Checkbook recorder holder thing

[wasted-sympathy.livejournal.com]

My mom got me a record book thing for checkbooks, but I only have like 4 checks that I got free when I opened my account, so I don't have a checkbook. So I decided to make a little thing to hold it. No biggie but thought I'd share. :]


Outside, boring boring.

Questions questions

[lovelyrita07.livejournal.com]

So I have a question for all of you craftgrrls. My best friend and I use to write notes to each other all through out high school, just on plain notebook paper. My best friend is an awesome artist and really funny as well, so i saved a mojority of the notes. Now i sort of want to do something with them so they don't just fade away in a box in my closet. Any ideas how i could display them creatively in a scrapbooks or anything? I am horrible at scrapbooking, but any ideas from you guys would be completely rad.

thank you thank you thank you!

My CorkBoard I made and Flowerpins

[lvlylatinalady.livejournal.com]

I made this for all of the jewelry that I own. I am quite proud. It is a piece of cardboard with fabric glued onto it, a few ribbons glued on and some push pins with beads hot glued to the ends. It was easy as heck!


( And a flowerpin )
