I was wondering if anyone could tell me which spray adhesive, in your opinion, is the strongest? I've tried:

Elmer's Craft Bond (teh suck)
Blair Maximum Adhesive spray (not much better)
3M 77 (the best so far but still lacking)

I'm using it almost solely to adhere fabrics (many kinds of fabric) to neoprene (quite flexible). I need crazy-strong adhesive! ;-)

Hay guys..

This is probably rather oddd but, I have a metric fuckton of watch batteries on my hands. What crafty thing can I do with them!? They're all mostly the same size with a few exceptions.

Oh, and yes they are all dead.

Thanks a bunch in advance! <3


Edit:

Oh.. well, that was a bit of an anti-climax. I guess I'll just find somewhere that'll take them off of my hands for recycling.

I thought that maybe because they were old and dead it would be okay.. but I guess not. 3:

Thanks for the help everyone!

My first ever polymer clay rose, was pretty easy but I am sure I will get better at it but I have to say it was such fun that I kinda rushed it as I was dying to see how it turned out hehe!
I am looking forward to scaling it down to make earrings etc out of it:D

Latest creation

[enigma-rose.livejournal.com]

It's been awhile since I posted to the community.  Here's something that I have been working on for the last few months off and on.

This is my Norse Goddess Freya. She's made out of polymer clay and hand painted. She has a beaded necklace and a feather cloak.

( Hail Freya... )

The pictures aren't all that great. I'm still working on that one =)

Happy Crochet Pears

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

I crocheted some happy pears a little while ago. I made a light box following this Strobist tutorial and tested it out. I just used some light my dad had laying around, but I plan on buying two lamps, one for each side. The light my dad has doesn't have a stand and gets hot too fast that it smells like it is burning.

small face pendants

[dolphin-daze.livejournal.com]

I decided to so some new and smaller face pendants. I think they turned out pretty neat. All of these are handpainted and sealed witht he several coats of the glossy sealer. Face sizes for these are approximately 1 inch across, with loop and bail ring pendant measures 1 1/2 inches tall. Each pendant is made out of Paperclay and handpainted

bag mod

[ironkit.livejournal.com]

This isn't as crafty as most of you get, but it's something besides knitting and quilting for me, which is what I usually do.

My brother got a new laptop, and didn't want his old bag anymore since his new one is bigger and doesn't fit in the bag! I happen to have the same size laptop as his new one, but am too cheap to go get my own good laptop bag. He gave me his bag, so I added a little section to make it bigger. It involved ripping out seams on nylon (ick!), hemming those seams and inserting a panel. I couldn't do it all by machine, 'cause the throat on my machine is not big enough (whine), so I got some practice handstitching pretty like.

Christmas Wreaths Part 2

I know it is well after Christmas, but I am just now having some down time to post pictures and such. Here is a link to my original post about the ornament wreaths I was making for gifts: http://community.livejournal.com/craftgrrl/9554244.html

The wreaths were well-received at Christmas! I was very happy about that. Here is one of my favorites:

PVC

[hinderxlove.livejournal.com]

This may be a stupid question, but what exactly is PVC Vinyl? I have heard a lot of people talking about it. Is it easy to work with? I dont have a craft store in town so I have to buy that kind of stuff online and the pictures dont do anything justice. I plan on making wallets and bags out of it to sell. Is it the same as vinyl? Im very confused, lol.
