Meal Break Thoughts

Anyone else always read this as the BOPIS rack *shouldn't* be organized? 🤣

First flip

I have this piece that is solid wood and veneer. I want to achieve a farmhouse distressed look similar to the second image. What steps should I take for prep, paint, seal, and to distress? If it were you, would you go a different route?

I’m making Dawn’s hat and I purchased a knit hat to put the pink pokeball-like design on, and I’m having a hard time figuring out what method is best (details in caption)

I have waste canvas that I can use to cross stitch it on, but it also needs to stretch a little. Joann’s is gone and my michaels store is not an option to get small cuts of fabric from so sewing is out of the question. Embroidery would take way too long. I also figure that fabric paint cannot work on a knit texture. I could crochet that shape but again it needs some stretch. I could also try to ...

Paint for blue galaxy fold

Like many of you, my galaxy fold (blue) is also chipping paint. Normally I wouldn’t do anything about it but I’ve had the phone for a week and wanted to find a temporary solution. I went to the craft store and found a paint marker that blends in almost exactly to the metallic blue. I’ll list a link to the paint marker below. I sort of blobbed it over the scratch or chip, waited a few secon...

Is this a palette set up going to work?

Hi all, I tried following a tutorial for setting up a watercolor palette. Selected my colors, tubed them in. I didn't have a proper water color pan set up so tried to make do with the circles but I realize now I probably should have done way more work levelling and trying to get air bubbles out, but I didnt, so..... I also tried to hair dry it for about a half hour because I thought i could rush i...

A Glimmer of Hope

I was faffing about for a minute at work and the Southern Living magazine online posted changes coming in November. Michael's is going to showcase Joann's in two enhanced areas. It won't be in all locations, but if we frequent the ones with the tables enough, maybe we can keep this alive. https://www.southernliving.com/joann-fabrics-michaels-stores-11816465

I think I need an engineer…

I am an artist who works with beads. I am trying to make a pair of spherical earrings based on the above photo, Enoch from Over the Garden Wall. I’ve been trying for weeks and I’m getting close but I just can’t get it right. I’ve tried several patterns and methods, but I’m obviously missing something. I’ve included a picture of my most recent pattern and the result as well. Could someo...

Hi! Does anyone know any stores in West County that sell individual Sharpies?!? I'm working on a project and need a few specific colors (navy, some shades of green and purple, etc)that only seem to come in the HUGE packs that are like $50+ and I'm on a budget lol so I'm looking for somewhere that sells a wide assortment... the Michaels stores close to me (in Ellisville, Des Peres, and Chesterfiel...

Patches

Curious what you guys use for patches on bag. I don't worry about looking like a tourist, I'm a white guy in Asia... I just want people to know I'm Canadian and not American!

First time with 30MM, im hooked!

Im not sure if this counts as a kitbash but i got the Liber Holy Knight and found a plastic phoenix toy from Micheals that i uh, relieved it of its flight so to speak lol Also used the circle part of the runners to give him a halo and honestly i think it makes the knight sooooo much cooler, what do you guys think? Edit: i got the Phoenix wings from a plastic solid body statue from Micheals! **...

All the books

My other half surprised me with a kit, Make Market's Apothecary Shop, and asked me if I could put it together this weekend so she could put it together this weekend so she could take it in to work on Monday (she is very Halloween focused, one of the many reasons I love her). It is not a big kit, but it is the first kit I have worked on with books involved. I like that it is giving me a glimpse of ...

Looking for 1:12 scale kits

Hello! I've been really enjoying this community, and hope to further entrench myself in this hobby. I'm a big collector of figures, most of which are in the 5-7 inches range. I've been putting together dioramas, and would love some recommendations for book nooks. So far, I have found that Make Market has a few kits that scale well with 1:12.

[CHAT] Kit too big for hook?

I've been doing [this kit](https://www.michaels.com/product/8-colored-sky-cross-stitch-kit-by-loops-threads-10666749?michaelsStore=9853&inv=2) from Michaels, and I got to the edge on one side and realized I hadn't quite centered my stitches in the hoop. No big deal, I readjust the fabric, but when I get to the other side of the circle it doesn't fit either. The product photo on the kit sho...

Big Twist yarn at Michaels

I'm seeing posts in the yarn and yarn crafting subreddits with people around the country and in Canada posting pictures of Big Twist yarn displays in their Michael's stores. So far I have been to one local Michael's here in North Jersey and they don't have any in Big Twist stock. Have any of you fellow crafters seen Big Twist show up in your local Michael's yet?
