Paper Clip Earrings - How To

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 12:53:53 -0400

Okay, this is pretty awesome. If you love jewelry or just making it— this is simple and creative. It allows a person to have a unique style and will surely be the opener of many conversations of ‘oh, I like your earrings— where’d you get them?’ where you can proclaim you made them.

Come on, everyone likes some bragging rights.

I’ve seen some people mention that I need to credit the original creators of the tutorials—

And I do.

I mentioned before, though, that none of these are tutorials I’ve made. I just make a comment on them on if I’ve used them before and how useful they seem like they’d be. I’m busy and rarely get a chance to put a click through link since it’s hard to go through them all and find the exact page I got it from (I download tutorials in bulk off of forums honestly, and very rarely do they have the links).

So— if you’ve a problem with the lack of credit (90% of the tutorials list who made it on them anyway), then I suggest you give me a direct link and I’ll set up a click through link to that person.

And more apologies for the lack of updates— I keep trying to bulk up my queue but hardly have time to.

Paper Flower - How To:

I kinda post things as I come across them— and ‘paper flower’-esque things seem quite popular. This one seems a bit more simpler than most.

Part One of a two part tutorial on casting resin jewels—-

I’ve seen many different ways to make fake jewels, I suppose this is the best way if you want larger ones.

Paper Owl - How To:

This is pretty cool looking, something you can hang on your wall— or if you modify it a bit, it could be an awesome birthday card or something. A simple and nice gift for a friend.

A small armor tutorial. I’m really envious of people who can make armor. I tried once—- it’s not the worst thing ever, but certainly not the best. This is something for smaller pieces though, not all out.

Hanging Flower Balls - How TO

Hanging Flower Balls - How TO:

Sorry for the delay folks! Personal things going down, and me getting used to working now—

Anyway!

This looks really neat, something that would definitely have to take a lot of patience! I don’t know if I’d be able to do it just for the fact that I’m lazy and would be done halfway through— but such a cute idea, I think it’d be cool to have those as decor in ones house!

Your goggles look really good, you should be proud!

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 21:07:49 -0400

Thank you very much! I’ll try to find the tutorial I used and link it here.

Also, I want to use this post to apologize for not updating enough so I don’t clog up your peoples dash—

I usually try to have three posts a day, but I just started training for work and am studying for a placement test in college. I’ll try to put more in the queue ASAP! So just bear with me! I may also open submissions if anyone has anything they want to share, and don’t hesitate to request for something that you want to see made!

Card Envelope - How To

Card Envelope - How To:

Apologies for not uploading anything yesterday, I was too lazy to refill the queue. I’m doing so now before heading off to training.

This can go along with that nice ‘flower pop-up’ card you made for your mother since you were busy forgetting her birthday. Nothing says, ‘no seriously mom, I remembered your birthday!’ like a fancy envelope! No—- seriously, it does.

Sure thing Anon! I actually have an older photo around here—- I made them a year ago when I went through some bizarre ‘I want to live in the 1900s and be a fighter pilot’ stage ~~whichI’mstillgoingthrough~~.

Well, here they are:

Not the best, but I was proud!

Weft Rug - How To

Weft Rug - How To:

This is more aimed towards children— but who says kids get to have all the fun? If I want to make a rug out of tee shirts, who’s to say I can’t?

Who isn’t a fan of steampunk? Oh— you aren’t?...

Who isn’t a fan of steampunk? Oh— you aren’t? Well too bad! You don’t count!

Anyway, I love steampunk goggles, and own a couple of pairs myself (made with a different tutorial, but still). It’s an easy tutorial with great results for all those steampunk fanatics out there!
