I've come to realize that the only time I make new jewelry is when I receive new beads in the mail =]

I have an adorable 20"x20" bandanna that I'd like to turn into something wearable for my 4 month old daughter. The closest thing I can come up with is this... http://craftersguru.blogspot.com/2009/05/infants-bandana-shirt.html ...It's a shame I don't have two so I could make something like this... http://daisyjanie.typepad.com/daisyjanie/2007/12/how-to-bandana.html ...Anyway, any other suggestions for bandanna-baby-wearables?

Edit: Does anyone recognize this bandanna? What store could it have come from? (Sorry for the poor picture quality--snapped this quick with Photobooth). It was part of a favor at a wedding shower and I'm not sure where the hostess bought the supplies.

Hi eveyone, just found this community. :) i just fell in love with using sculpey to create figurines. i was inspired by my friend's drow character in our d&d game. she has a spider familiar who speaks in squeaks but has becoming an increasingly fun character. so i though, ah why not actually make her? 

i've made 2 versions of the spider so far, and i'm not too happy with them. the first one i made too fat and she kinda toppled forward. the second one's limbs fell off. >< i was using 28 gauge jewelry wire to help stick the limbs in... i suspect i didn't bake it for long enough.

but! i figure enough driving bind. can anyone point me to some good sites with the basics for making sculpey figurines? (i'm not too impressed with the sculpey site). is there a specific type or gauge wire that is best to use? maybe even toothpicks or something thicker?

also, a couple of things i've been wondering: is there a more economical way to buy it than the 2 ounce packs at the craft store? i've also been storing the extras in ziplocks... is that necessary or is there a specific way to store the clay?

i'd love to hear everyone's tips and tricks and whatnot for using sculpey. :) thanks for helping out a noob. :D

If I knew how to knit I'd be all about em!!



The tutorial/pattern is on this page.. if you look to the right it says "Monster Chunks Knitting Pattern FREE!"

There are bunny nuggets, too!

I made this easy outline design in illustrator for our Summer theater Camp's production of 'Honk! Jr.'

I have been working nonstop on forming sheets of paper for the purpose of gifts and personal journals I will later bind myself. Enjoy! And if anyone has tips or tricks, or ideas on what to mix into the pulp I would LOVE to exchange information :)

Photobucket
I made some tags with a little left over pulp. They came out nicely albiet oddly shaped because I don't have a frame for tags.

Hello all, hope your summer is going well. I am currently immersing myself in cardmaking. I like the technique of sewing paper but I really don't relish the idea of pulling out my Brother sewing machine. I looked at Michaels and could not find one of those mini sewing machines...I just need it to do zig zag and straight stitches.

Any reccomendations?

My boyfriend's roommate recently gave me two boxes of assorted types of specialty spray paints. Some are glitter, some are frosted glass, and some are stained glass. They are of assorted color and such, but I really can't think of anything to cool to do with these! The only thing I have really thought of is to paint the few candle-holders and vases randomly laying around here, but what else can I do? :) Thanks for the inspiration ahead of time! <33
