free form crochet?

[kittenmouse.livejournal.com]

Has anyone ever tried free form crochet? I found this website that makes it look so beautiful. Is it hard? I know how to knit, and I once learned to crochet, but never really figured it out.

I need a little organization help

[thatcrazyblonde.livejournal.com]

I have a ton of beaded jewelry that I have made. Does anyone have any suggestions to what I can make so that I can keep them organized. Right now they are all in a drawer and I have to fish around for the bracelet, earrings and necklace that all match. I'm worried they are going to get broken. I need a way to display them better.

Any suggestions?

CHARMS ON SALE!!!!!!

[tresbon.livejournal.com]

These AWESOME! charms are on sale at Archie Mcphee at around $1.25 a box. There are also chinese food charms, las vegas charms, and western charms all found HERE.

The perfect black dress?

[lepamplemousse.livejournal.com]

What should I do with this sweater dress?



I've already cut out the shoulder pads and slimmed it down (didn't cut the dress, just sewed it up the sides), but I still don't know how to wear it! My options are:

WRAP DRESS

Tunic Sweater (not with that neckline).

Buy a big fat belt & wear it like it is.

Keep in mind it's made of a sweater material, it's winter here and I'm NOT going to turn it into a halter anything.

Thanks!

Hey, been watching the community a little while and finally have something I want to use!

What would y'all suggest for this - I just got a pack of four matchboxs and I want to make something really cute with them but I have no idea what to do with them - they're cardboard strike box matchboxes, and are about 1 inch by 1.5 inch. I was thinking of making one into one of these pocket shrines I've heard of but I'm not sure. HELP!!!! >

Hey all! I have a question. Well, actually a few. About selling handmade items.

First of all, if anybody has their own website that features their handmade items, could you please post the link? Also, I have some questions for those of you who do sell their crafts and such and would appreciate any info.

1. About how much money would you say you make? Like within a month?

2. How much profit do you make after you've bought supplies and such?

3. Any information, tips, auggestions you can give me about selling my crafts?

Yeah, so basically I've become interested in starting up my own website to start selling some of my different crafts, but am kinda clueless as to what to do! So I thought I'd start here to see what some other people are doing and looking for any kinda of advice and what have you. Thanks in advance, and yeah, the main point to this post is about selling crafts, so if it's in no way allowed, mods feel free to delete or let me know so I can.

Toothpick Dolls

[rivulet.livejournal.com]

Quite a few years ago, my sister and I learned how to make trouble dolls out of toothpicks and embroidery floss. I made probably 40 of them before I got bored and moved on to other projects. But I framed the ten I still have, and today I was looking at them thinking "I ought to post pictures of these!" So here's one, and the others are behind the cut.

I need help with my prom ( dress )

(no subject)

[sarahrae.livejournal.com]

I am in need of help.

(obviously or else I wouldnt be posting)

I am trying to wax flowers. I have done it several times before, but mainly with dasies and roses. Never with lilacs.
Has anyone ever waxed lilas before?

They were awesome when first waxed, and then within 15 minutes they smelled funny and the blossoms turned all brown. For the most part anyway. There are still purple parts, but they are few and far between.

So to those who have done this before... what did i do wrong?

If i sealed the flowers first would it help? (hairspray, spray sealer?)
Did I cook the flowers?
Is this normal, and I might as well give up?

Suggestions are most welcome and GREATLY appreciated as I am bamboozled. (I really just wanted to use bamboozled in a sentence)

Button Making w/Badge a Minit?

[peachette19.livejournal.com]

I looked through the memories but didn't really find the answer to my question.

I'm lost, basically. This box full of parts for a Badge a Minit button maker were pretty much left with me to figure out, and it is sans instructions. The buttons are for our College Democrat club event in a few weeks, and I am in charge of button making.. whoopee.

I found some instructions on their website, but what I need is a template.. some blank document with circles the size I need to cut out, so I can design the buttons on the computer and print them off. I think I can figure it out from there, but I really don't know how to go from my idea for a button to the actual print off that is the correct size.

Am I making sense? Anyone have a blank template they use or know where I can find one?

Thanks gals!

Quite A Few Images Under The Cut, I warn.

[thatgirlsylvia.livejournal.com]

My first picture post, yay!

But firstly I got 2 questions for the great minds of Craftgrrl.

I was planning on making some personal bookmarks by glueing some images onto strips of thick paper and then sealing them. I was wondering what I could use to seal them, other than Mod Podge as I am lacking in the money department. Would clear nailpolish work? Or how about clear liquid glue? Any better ideas?

( Stuffs )

Secondly, I like making hemp jewelery and have learned the basic knots of macrame. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can make a macrame bag. Do I need to somehow stitch it onto a lining fabric? And how would I close up the sides?

Thanks a bunch!

It's not entirely finished. I want to add more to it, but its been looking this way for a couple months now and I still haven't figured out what else to add, so I might as well post. Maybe you all have ideas. :c)

Grrr, I need some advice right now.

I'm bought a black corset at the other day (which I love) but couldn't find a good skirt to go with it. So I figured that I would just make it. Skirts are pretty simple after all.

So I find a pattern for a full, flowy skirt and I selected the size that normally works for me when sewing. I start the pattern, cut everything out and realize the skirt is like 4 sizes to small to me.

Now I get to be all creative and completely modify the pattern to add in more material so I can actually fit into the skirt.

My question is: how can you tell on a sewing pattern what size to select. I try holding the pattern to my waist but it's still difficult for me to get a good idea when the front and back of the skirt is the same pattern so I only have one side.
