should we have one?
it seems lots of artsy/crafty people on the forum and I love seeing what everyone makes, would it be an idea to maybe have a thread to showcase all things crafty? do you have anything crafty you want to show off? pop it below

 

[Sophiebee]

As ive just commented in another thread im unfortunately not crafty at all, however i
very impressed by what some people here can do and look forward to seeing some pics! (great thread idea! )

I like this idea
I usually paint and make stuff, though don't have the time right now!
My bf and I are also building a model railway, does that count as crafty?

 

[DollyGirl08]

I would love some tips on making things. I can't afford presents for Christmas so would be nice if I could make something for people instead as I feel guilty not getting anything.

 

[redroses2106]

well I shall start it off with a few of the things I have been making recently

I have hundreds and could be here all day - the bunny was a practise run - will be making a better one soon, with eyes

yes anything you make with your own two hands is crafty everything goes!

well what would you like to make? I dabble in a bit of this and that and could maybe help - have you looked at youtube tutorials?

I have absolutely no idea? Soaps, candles, Xmas decorations? I'm not sure tbh
At the moment I don't have much work so have hours to spare in the day.

soap I have no idea
candles - you could get a cheap candle making kit for £15 with everything you need check out hobby craft - or you can buy in the wax of your choice and some fragrance - try ebay for something low cost you will also need the wicks the great thing with the second tutorial is you can pour your candles into anything - you could even use an old jam jar and put a ribbon around it

a few pictures of things I've made

Redroses: Those are lovely!

 

[ItsonlyChris]

I used to do a fair bit of model painting for miniature war gaming. Only ever had the time to do a few shoots of tanks though. The people in the second picture actually have normal coloured skin rather than grey skin now too :laugh:

I did a better picture in photography, so I'll try and upload it in a bit.

The final picture that I added in the edit was something I used in my actual photography assignment.

 

[sharonbee]

I put my knitting on a thread recently, that is about all I can make, good idea about starting a craft thread.some of my knits...

 

[Emma32]

In that case on the railway front...

It's not really a railway yet haha. Long way to go

 

[dancemagicdance]

Ahh I love making crafty things

I usually make things as gifts and forget to photograph them before I give them away
I like to sew things, bake, decorate phone cases, make bath things, soap, sweet bouquets/trees and jewellery and... anything really I'm going to try my hand at making candles this christmas

 

[moggiemum]

i make snowflake cards and window decorations, and leather tassels cat toys, oh and i made a pair of longed lined curtains out of a pair of short curtains

ooh I am just about to have a go at decorating phone cases - what glue do you use? I have been using e-6000 for blinging things, but it's been giving me headaches

 

[CharleyRogan]

Just a little something i do in my spare time

I couldn't find any e-6000 so I just got some 'glu&fix all purpose' stuff that looked similar - I wouldn't recommend it though, it smells like nail varnish remover and will probably give you a headache too!

 

[Emma32]

Just found this picture on my computer
All the little buildings I've made for the railway so far.

 

[ItsonlyChris]

Oh wow, little railway buldings! Always loved looking at the little buildings in the hobby shops If you ever need little people, they have a large bunch on ebay, but I'm not sure if they come painted

Oh man, I want to post more pictures, but I'll have to take them :laugh: I don't want to upload other pictures in case I wasn't the one who took them :laugh:

 

[CavalierOwner]

I've made candles! I don't really do anything else though, I can draw cartoon characters but that's it. Here's the thread I did on candles.
