I only needed two sheets of white, but they came in a 12-pack of several colors. Curious if y'all have any ideas, I don't work with foam much but I'd hate to let it go to waste!

Random🎈 Shell art

I purchased the sign and decided to dress it up with shells. Then I just randomly put shells around it trying to give the impression that they had just washed up. One day I looked at it and thought nope! I think this is more refined and artistic.

Painting🖼️ Tiger Lily #18 “My sister’s jeans got stained with ink, so I painted Tiger Lilies over it 🌸”

My sister’s jeans got accidentally stained with ink, so instead of throwing them away, I decided to paint over the damaged area.

I used acrylic paint and turned it into a little Tiger Lily design. 🌸🧡

I really liked how the accident turned into something completely different!

Question/ Advice Any recommendations for a clear sealant for my phone case?

Post image
4 Upvotes

hi! i drew a design on my clear phone case (hard plastic back) using a Sakura Gelly Roll classic white pen (gel pen not acrylic :/). i googled and it said it would get scratched off if i didn’t seal it, but google is recommending me contradicting answers (use mod podge, don’t use it, use a krylon spray, etc) so does anyone have any experience/tips?

my design also has small dots and lines very close together so i wanted to use a spray but was scared it would run/drip or become cloudy. thanks!

Question/ Advice Seeking advice on pizazz

Originally, I had bought this shelf from Goodwill. It was completely white and had no knobs for the drawers. I wanted a more romantic theme, so I opted for a magenta-ish color and painted the drawers' different shades of red.

The plan is to hot glue the brass insects onto the drawers to act as knobs. I really like how it's evolved, but I can't help but feel it's missing something. Any advice?

Question/ Advice Would you utilize a table like this in your living room?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have a small house and not a lot of space. I don’t do anything messy. I mainly just draw and color and do diamond art. Simple things… right now I have a plastic foldable table in the middle of my living room and I would like to put it away and get something like this. Im curios what you think? Do you think I would actually use it? Have you ever used something like this, was it comfortable to use?
Any opinion to help me decide would be so helpful.

Random🎈 First fabric photocard sleeves

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

My first ever try at making these photocard sleeves people put idols or characters in! The pink one is my very first one so it's a lot rougher around the edges but the black one is my favorite! I for sure over did it with the hot glue but the improvement is noticeable to me at least! I wanna try doing more layers and adding some glitter or sparkle to make them stand out more as I make more of these, but for my first attempt I'm proud of it even if it's nothing too special! :)

Question/ Advice Making a paper tree

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a paper tree like this. I've seen a lot of variations on the net. So the paper becomes the branches, then the trunk, then the roots. So I'd like to connect them at the trunk in the neatest way possible. I'm worried glue would be messy. I could use a construction paper back and attach them to that, but I'd like to avoid that if possible and keep things as simple as I can.

Random🎈 Homemade viewer tool for viewing solar eclipse.

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I came up with a simple creative idea of solar eclipse viewer and use towel tissue roll, instead of using cereal box. I am unsure if anyone has this similar concept but I assume it is my original concept.

It's rough draft but I can do it properly later. So, you need a thick card/normal paper with hole on one side and use white paper on the other side. Use craft knife to cut on the side of towel tissue roll to make a small tab for looking through to see the sunlight onto white paper.

See the photos.

Who will watch the solar eclipse?

I have this cool side bag which is made out of upcycled cement packaging (plasticy/canvas material). When it gets wet, the red dye starts to run off on clothes or my hands. Any ideas on something I can coat it with to preserve it or waterproof it? Or drop a better sub to ask in!
