i bought a mini fridge for my dorm about a month back. i felt bad throwing away the amazingly sturdy parts of the cardboard box that it came in. 

( after some thought.. )

Look at my (not yet started) pretty dress!

Ick! I always have questions to post, and so few finished projects... :-S

Anyways, heres my question this time.

I'm making a dress like this:



Imagining I'm a fairly good seamstress and it comes out rather well, how much do you think I could sell a dress like this for?

Thanks guys! Youns are awesome...

"Pop" Art

[tiffanyharvey.livejournal.com]

I made this by stitching pop tabs to black paper, then setting it into a frame (I moved the glass behind it so it won't get scratched). You have to alternate the top and bottom of the tabs to keep them lined up because they are slightly larger on one end. They ended up fitting perfectly inside a paper-sized frame.

( picture )

Orginally I was linking tabs together with wire to make a large wallhanging, which I thought looked pretty cool but the husband vetoed that idea. Oh well, I've got some ideas for some future Pop Art projects already in mind. ;)

Lurker...

[kiwi-brouhaha.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've had some lurk-itis for a while now, and I've decided that I've got a question for you all. :)

I have 3 or 4 shirts of my grandfather's, who passed away in October. I was wondering if any of you had some ideas of what I could do with them. I'm fairly adept with a sewing machine, so that wouldn't be a problem at all. Right now the shirts are just sitting in a drawer not doing anything, so I thought I'd make something special with them for myself that I can see all the time.

Thanks guys.

I've been lurking here for a few months, and have complied a nice section of favorites that I intend to get started on one of these days.

Last night I taught myself (with the help of a how-to podcast) to knit. Of course I'm still new at it, and have just been practacing all day, but I'd like to make something (that's easy) pretty soon.

I have a baby sister who will turn one on the 23rd of this month, as well as a sister who is having a baby in January, so I have been looking at a lot of patterns for baby toys and blankets and hats and things.

My question is, can anyone direct me to some very easy beginner patterns that are along these lines? I am starting college in a couple of weeks, so after that I won't have much time, so I'd like to devote a lot of hours and get fairly decent at it before then.

Thanks in advance!

It's made of vinyl, webbing and corduroy.

private listings on ebay?

[doogloose.livejournal.com]

don't know if this is the right place for me to ask this, but i have an ebay related question. i have a buyer who wants to buy a set of beads off me, and i have the listing all set to go - but i don't know how to make it private (not private in the sense that they can't see her ID, which is what a "private listing" on ebay means, but private in the sense that only she can go see it - so others don't bid on this item). i can't find info about this on the ebay site, but for some reason i thought that it was against ebay's policy to sell behind their back (when it was a buyer that found you through ebay - which this one was).

thanks to anyone who knows the answer. i guess i want to know a) can ebay do this, and if so how do i do it? or b) if ebay doesn't even offer this service, is it really against their policy to just sell directly through paypal or something?

I want to dye some faux fur orange. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

I recall seeing something about dying wigs using markers. Would I be able to use to same process for dying faux fur? For that matter . . . Does anyone know where that post is? I'm memories-retarded.

Grow A Couch

[abelles02.livejournal.com]

I'm sure some of you have seen this article
http://www.readymademag.com/feature_6_sodcouch.php

I had some questions about it.

How much weight do you think it would hold? Even though it is packed tight, you're essentially sitting on a pile of dirt.

Do you think it'd be sturdy, and hold its shape over time?. Just because there is grass on it,  doesn't mean it won't wash, wear away with natural weather.

Have any of you thought of doing this in your yard? Any results? I'm curious. I thought it would be kind of neat to do and quite the conversation piece but if I have to mow this thing I want it to be functional.

Suggestions Needed

[neversremedy.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm a long-time lurker here, and I finally have everything ready for a project I've wanted to finish, but I'm not sure what type of glue or adhesive to use. This is a bit different from most of the stuff I've seen here, but maybe some of you have suggestions.

I have a very large map of the world I wish to mount onto poster board, which will then cover the majority of a wall. (Later it's to be used as a way to track where I've traveled/lived, where my friends & family are, and places I still want to visit.) The problem I'm having is trying to figure out what type of adhesive to use to adhere the map (paper with cloth fibers) to the styrofoam board (corkboard is far outside my price range for a piece this size). Suggestions and advice welcome. Thanks!

EDIT: The foam board is very slippery, and I can't keep thumbtacks in to hold the edges in place. Thankfully, I have an extra pair of hands to help!

*insert customary text only apology here*

Okay. I was wondering if anyone had a really good pattern for making your own cat ears? I know it's random, but it's for a costume I'm working on. I have a pair of those cheap, dollar store ones, but I want something more three dimentional and cute and, well, well done. Any patterns, links, etc, would be greatly appreciated!
