Meet Bebe, she's very excited to meet you!

Shrinkydinks and glue

[marmaladesky.livejournal.com]

Is there an adhesive that is safe to use in the oven with Shrinkydinks so that the shrink plastic retains its original form post-shrinking?

I'm thinking that most glues will melt, epoxies will create toxic fumes, tape will melt, etc.

I have a brilliant idea that I'd like to realize.

Edit:
I was tired when I wrote the post, and now I see I need to explain further. The idea involves folding, and in order for the edges to stay crisp, and the connected dots to stay put, i need some sort of heat tolerant non-toxic adhesive. I know it physically exists, I'm wondering does anyone know of any offhand?

So...I decided to get crafty yesterday. These are a first time attempt and a little rough, I just sorta wanted to show them off. I really need to get my pasta machine out of the garage, but for hand rolling it wasn't too bad.

Halloween

[catarina-delana.livejournal.com]

I never get to craft any more becuase i have zero supplies and zero money to buy supplies with =P But here are two cute halloween decorations i made with stuff lying around the house =P





I made 3 ghosts, but only took a picture of one. They will be hung on our porch, and the wreath is on our front door. =)

grocery bags

I bought 2 plain canvas bags at Michaels for $6.00 each and then painted them a bit.

Time to delurk and actually post something! I'm amazed by all the really nice things that everyone makes. Haha, it almost makes me feel inadequate.

I took out my sewing machine from my closet this weekend for the first time, and yesterday, I made my very first...project. I'm amazed it only took me half an hour to sew. My best friend's birthday is next week and I decided to make her something with some fabric I bought for my apparel class but never used.

I hope she'll like it. I might just keep it for myself.

Okay so you haven't gone crazy. This journal should look familiar.  ;D I've been chipping away at this awesome fabric for a while now. Here's one more creation from it. The ribbon and the paper inside is different from the one that I made about a week ago.

So, this is probably a really, really stupid question. But I just had my sewing machine repaired, and am trying to learn to sew on it. I've threaded it fine, it should be functioning, but for some reason after sewing perfectly for about two or three inches, it will either jam up underneath and break the top thread. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I've tried adjusting all of the tensions and doing everything that I can think of, but still no go. Help? :(

Hi! This is my first post here! My name is Brandy and I wanted to show everyone these shoes that I painted. I know it looks like a child painted them because I have no painting skills, but they're cute!

Putting letters on a rubber bracelet

[hollysaurusrawr.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend and I bought this http://www.craftsetc.com/Store/ShowProduct.aspx?p=134841 kit from Hobby Lobby. However, as we kind of predicted, the kit sucks. We want to use the bracelets as merchandise for his band. Any ideas on how to get letters (we'll just be putting three letters on them) on the bracelets? We'd like it to be something permanent, as opposed to like, adhesive letters or anything.
Thanks!

And one more hat just for fun

One small beret in Fisherman's Wool

There will not be a repeat of a Fisherman's Wool hat, as I didn't take into account the itch factor when I made it. Other than that, and a small issue with the size of the "beret" section, I think the hat looks good. Fits very well, too.

Cigar Boycott

I am asthmatic, so I altered the Cigar Gloves from Knitty.com to accomodate my ailment. ha.

i need help

[havain.livejournal.com]

so i made these resin pendants and i was not careful enough when pouring. therefore i filled the molds a tad bit too full and have been sanding the sides. what i want to know is if i could use a vanish of some sort (or anything really) that would clear up the sides from being quite so cloudy? i used ultra fine sandpaper if that matters at all. its my first time making these so if anyone could help me i would seriously love it. thanks.
