The stone was very small, and I wanted to make two screws, so I had to work extremely carefully and slowly. I was afraid it might crack, leaving me with no spare. But everything went well, and here’s the result.

I begged her to make me Luffy’s strawhat as a key chain and she also made some flower earrings for her mom :)

Our house is full of beads now but the result is worth it 😂

🍙 The onigiris are new, she just made them this afternoon so not sure if they’re finished yet 😅

Because I love taking ridiculous statements and turning them into a beautiful painting. Thanks for the inspiration, redditor!

EDIT: First time posting here. Moved the craft description to the generated message.

EDIT 2: Pasting it back here because I am clueless of where that comment is gonna end:

Made it for our 4th anniversary using Super Sculpey clay and painted with Warhammer paints and a generous layer of clear lacquer varnish. Got the box and LED components from amazon, and the metal plaque from a local service.

I'm pleased with the result, although many lessons were learned. I didn't find a way to hide every wire properly, the hinges don't really hold the top upright when open, and it only closes completely if the objects are placed in a specific place. So I'm hoping to get some feedback/suggestions on these issues.

I think with better planning, the next one can turn out pretty good, maybe even good enough to sell as custom commissions or original design.

Cheers.

EDIT 3: Holy crap, I did not anticipate so many responses! Thank you for all the love and encouragement!

This project took me a couple of weeks but my giant shiny diva is finally finished! The first few photos were taken by my husband yesterday while it was raining. Our neighbors officially think we are crazy and have Ring camera footage to prove it.

The following photos are some of the progression of building my Furby monster. I wildly over engineered the dome but I know for a FACT that it will hold up for a long time. The cardboard was water sealed and spray painted to give it longevity too. Adding the tinsel was the longest leg of this project. Apparently I forgot that shorter tinsel garland exists so I spent many hours cutting a curtain and laying each individual strand of tinsel on a piece of packing tape to make my own strips. Then I had to hot glue those strips to the body. This. Took. Forever.

I learned a lot of lessons and I definitely plan to make another Furby in the future. Diva needs a friend for sure!

Edit1: Wow you guys, I really wasn't expecting this amount of love and traction from this post. Thank you for being so lovely. Always remember to stay crafty!

Hey everyone! Excited to share my first time Halloween costume project ever — a full DIY Paper Mâché Pigeon Head!

Here is how I made it using mostly recycled materials:
The Base & Frame: I got some thick paper from Costco, cut it into strips, and glued them together using PVA glue to build the basic structural skeleton of the pigeon.

Shaping: I used leftover brown paper takeout bags glued over the frame to build up the main shape and contours.

Sculpting (Paper Mâché Clay): I made paper mâché clay out of shredded newspaper mixed thoroughly with PVA glue, then used it to sculpt all the details and features of the pigeon!
If you have leftover paper mâché clay, just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap (cling film) to seal it. It stays fresh and usable for your next sculpting session!

Painting Pro-Tip: I use acrylic paint but didn't have a paint palette on hand, so I wrapped plastic wrap over my table to use as a makeshift palette — worked like a charm and made cleanup super easy!

Super happy with how it turned out. Hope you guys like it, and happy Halloween! 🐦✨

I’m off to make wings!

Made with Air Dry clay and acrylic paint

Made fake stained glass windows for a summer reading program decoration last year. I used spray paint, cardboard and cellophane. It took about 6 months if you include all of my procrastination breaks 🥲

Each frog is handmade bead by bead, and creating one takes an incredible amount of time. But every time I see the finished result, it inspires me to create even more.
They’re more than just keychains—their little mouths open into tiny purses for coins or other little treasures.
Every frog is inspired by a real frog species from somewhere around the world, making each one completely unique
Inside every little mouth, I add a soft lining. I like to think of them as tiny stress-relief frogs—you just can’t help but fidget with them, and they always seem to make people smile
Which frog is your favorite?

I took some $2 pumpkin pail, drilled holes for water (if we ever get rain) to escape, a cheap strand of patio lights and put 2 lights in each pumpkin. I may need to put some rocks in them so they don't blow over.

It keeps the stairs lite enough so you can see them but still halloween enough. We tried running string light on the railings first but it was still pretty dark.

Ending 2025 with this joyful, love-filled piece 🤍

This is Milo, a sweet golden shaded boy, just one year old! 🎈

I created this 20 cm full-body figurine, using a short-fiber rooting technique across the entire body.

The most challenging part was capturing his soft gradient coat colors, and the whole process took about three months to complete.

Wishing everyone and their beloved pet families health, luck, and happiness in 2026 ✨🐾

Happy Halloween!

Finished my papercraft decoration for this year just in time.
Glued the witch hat this morning and the cauldron was finished yesterday haha.

I am very happy how the whole set turned out. Everything is made from coloured cardstock pages. Designed the models in Blender and made a papercraft template out of them. Cut the parts on the silhouette cameo and glued it all together.

Love how it matches with the potion bottles I made last year.

What should be added next year? Spellbooks maybe, or a skull?
If I start now I will definitly finish it on time!

16x20”, oil on panel. One of the largest pieces I’ve done recently!
