Re: Dying feathers - I googled "dye for feathers" and got a lot of hits . one said to use kool Aid, one used Rit dye and another used a brand I'm not familiar with . some even dyed in the microwave.... Dying feathers - Hi all you crafty ladies.
I need to dye some feathers fuscia pink. Ive looked on the web for hints and tips but have come across a problem.
They say to use Dylon Multipurpose Dye but it only seems to come in large tins and at about £60 a tin its a bit much!!
The feathers will need to be water proof so im a bit worried about using food colouring.
Any ideas.
Thanks;-)... Re: Tutu patterns? - Hi, i would love some detailed instructions, could you possibly email me some, i would really appreciate it, thanks... Fascinators - Finally the photos of the fascinators have been down loaded. Your views would be appreciated;-)... Fascinators - Hi all. Ive started making fascinators. Having sooo much fun. Will post pictures very soon to see what you think. ;-)... What canvas to use for canvas printed dolls? - Hi, I print of some kids canvas art and was wondering if I could print and use the same stuff to make dolls or fancy pillows?
The canvas is museum grade Canson poly/cotton blend 390gsm and printed with epson inks from a printer (worried this might damage, but these dolly's would be more decorative).
Is the canvas to thick? Any suggestions on strong stitching to hold it all together? Any advice will be taken on board.... Re: Horse hair jewelry? - Hi Amy, I'm also interested in learning to do this. I've collected some hair as well. Most of the sites the other posters are mentioning only show you how to collect it (they're selling their services). I've just bought a book in ebay for this - hopefully it will help guide me. Maybe we can encourage each other? I've already shampooed ( twice) the hair want to work with. I did read on one of the sites mentioned that for a normal bracelet it takes 280 -340 strands. I also think you have to tie each one off at the end.
Becky... Re: Tutu patterns? - My daughter is interested in costume design and I would love to have these instructions for her if at all possible.... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - They are great. I make them in lemon, eucalyptus and lavender scents, add jojoba oil and epson salts. I am addicted to taking baths with them and my family also appreciates them.
I sell the soaps too, but not the fizzy balls yet. I nee to find a less expensive source for one of the ingredient. I assume it is the same one you were going to order online, citric acid?
They are easy to make but the first time is a little tricky to get them to stick. If they disintegrate when you unmold them just add a little tiny bit more water.... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - how did the fizzy bath bombs go?
i was gonna make some but would need to order one ingredient from online and did not feel it ... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - hand crafted soap, fizzy bath bombs, jams, spice mixes and relishes. I got a few baskets at thrift shops, all set for the holidays! whichever you celebrate. I favor the winter solstice.... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - thanx ~ I'm pretty pleased with the way they turned out, too :)
love all-ways,
mem... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - Love both of them.... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - amigurumi

mem... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - please be mindful to buy American-made products whenever possible.
Every outsourced job is a lost family of customers.... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - I'm making bath salts, from herbs, petals, oils, epson salts, baking soda
I put them in small mesh bags so they can be tossed in the tub and not dirty it with leaves, petals. The salts melt in the tub.... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - Cat - oh that sounds nice.
what a great gift.
practical and fun, pleasant.... Re: Q: What are you making for the holidays? - I have decided that since I am poor and need an economical gift .. I am embellishing bed sheets!
I bought one set a month (more if there were sales) and then I bought fabric when the fabric store had sales. This way the cost was distributed throughout the year instead of all in Nov/Dec!
On the kids' I used fabric to cover the top hem of the flat sheet. Then I cut off the hem on the pillow case and sewed that onto the fabric.
For the adults I bought lace and bias tape and sewed that over the original stitching line on the sheet & pillowcase hems. I'll post pics when I'm finished!... Q: What are you making for the holidays? - Gifts?
Decorations?... Re: Craft Fairs In LA?? - sorry, I don't know of any ... Re: Embroidery classes - Hi Wanda!
Welcome to Sunnyvale ! I've been living here for over a year and like this little town ;) I am currently looking for an embroidery class in the area. Have you found a place to hold your classes?
Thanks and good luck,
Einat... Craft Fairs In LA?? - Besides Unique LA, does anyone know of any craft fairs having a holiday thing in the LA (or surrounding) area? I missed the deadline to apply for Unique LA this year :(... Re: expanding foam for dress form? - Hi! I'd love to try this, what kind of spray foam did you use? Is it squishy once it's set and dry? Thank you!!... Copyright © 2012, Maxx Trading Guides. All Rights Reserved. |
