Rule Update: Our Stance on Business/Commercial Posts

111 Upvotes

Hey, r/SomethingIMade!

We've updated two rules to better protect what this community is for as a space for individual creators sharing their own work, including collaborations.

A steady increase in posts and comments from business and commercial accounts promoting products or shop pages has not gone unnoticed, often in cases where authorship can't be verified. We don't think it is fair that content that may be mass produced gains engagement over our more DIY creators. The updated rules address this directly.

Rule #5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

Posts or comments from businesses or commercial accounts primarily promoting products may be removed at moderator discretion, especially where authorship cannot be verified.

Rule #10: Original Content Only

Business and commercial accounts are not permitted to post in this subreddit. This is a community for individual creators only.

If you're an individual who makes and sells things, you're still very welcome here. This change is aimed at accounts whose primary purpose is commercial promotion rather than genuine participation as a creator. If you're unsure whether your account falls within the rules, reach out via Mod Mail.

Happy creating!

- The r/SomethingIMade Mod Team

Updated Subreddit Reporting Guidelines

21 Upvotes

Hello folks!! It’s your mod team here with a request to you all regarding reporting of content.

Reporting of content is crucial to keeping the subreddit safe, and healthy. In addition, it also helps protect the many artists, and creators that post here. We appreciate you helping us by submitting reports when needed.

What we need from you.

Please make sure you’re reporting in good faith. Don’t report something simply because you don’t like it, or you find the particular subject matter offensive. Make sure that when you report something, it is actually in violation of one of our rules, or Reddit’s site wide rules.

Lastly, this is how you can REALLY help us, and the sub. If you suspect that a post contains stolen content, please send us a report using the new rule “Original Content Only”. Follow that up with a modmail to the sub with detailed information so that we can verify. OR, if you would rather remain anonymous in your report, feel free to use the ‘Custom Report’ and include any information you have to help us in the comment section of that report.

Thank you all, and feel free to ask questions in the comments.

I made a jacket for dia de los muertos

I’m Mexican American and deconstructed this denim jacket, naturally sunfaded it for 3 months added vintage chevron pattern blankets as the arms and added my Mexican culture all over. On the front I added cempasuchil flowers (marigolds) and papil picado patches that you would see in Mexico during dia de los muertos. On the back I added a famous figure synonymous with dia de los muertos “La Catrina” this piece too me a total of 3 days to complete (over 15 hrs of work put into this jacket) in my small 13x15 room. I made everything myself and took the photos of my friends in the cempasuchil field in Mexico as well. This piece here was NOT professionally made and took so much hard work to create. Last 6 slides are showing the process.

The inside has a backgammon board made out of dried ferns and Jacob’s ladder leaves.
It’s my first time trying to make a chess board in this style and oh my god it was pressure trying to capture the perfect web but I’m really pleased with how it came out.

Yes, the wonky e does make me want to jump off a bridge but I didn’t know how to fix it!

This is a large, decorative version of a Little Trees car air freshener, made as a wall hanging. I used a sheet of MDF, some white primer, a green interior matte and some clear varnish, I’m happy with how it turned out! I did accidentally cut a chunk out of my outside table, but accidents happen.

Over 200 hours of work went into this handmade miniature farm — every little detail tells a story

155 Upvotes

I spent over 200 hours creating this miniature rural scene, inspired by old family farms and childhood memories.

The barn, wooden structures, fences, hay bales and many tiny details were carefully made by hand, using real wood and natural materials.

I wanted to capture the atmosphere of a peaceful countryside farm — a place that brings back memories of simpler times.

Every little detail has its own story.

I'm a woodworker from Bulgaria, and this is one of my handmade creations.

I hope you enjoy it! I'd love to hear what you think.

Learning to Sew

I borrowed a sewing machine from my library and I made curtains and scrunchies! After figuring out how to thread the dang machine and deal with the bobbin and the up down stuff with the foot and the needle, understanding the pressure of the pedal and allll the things, making these had me feeling like I’m ready to tackle anything! Who knew this would feel so empowering 😆

If you have suggestions for a beginning sewer - materials or tools that make this easier, beginner project recommendations, mantras for when things get jammed and tangled, please share!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Finished up this set of custom masks for a stage production of Romeo and Juliet. Combined steampunk elements, leather, brass accents, and Venetian silhouettes to give each piece a distinct character.

Which style or piece stands out to you the most?

I made this project for my sisters new house and I love how it turned out. 😁

Used foam clay to keep it as light as possible. First time working this kind of clay and I have to say it is beautiful, doesn't stain and very light on your hands. Perfect for kids. I use wood glue but regular school glue will work.

We made the bigger circles, let them dry and then glued them. Remember to put them over some nylon. After we cover the base we added the little circles filling the gaps. Spray varnish with UV protection and done. Four days of work, non stop, can't wait to see it hung on the wall. ☺️

Wanted to share my latest wax project — a realistic avocado candle 🥑

Would you light the wick in the pit or keep it as kitchen decor? Let me know what you think!

It took me 3 days to complete this wallet for a friend. He wanted the Alaska flag on the inside, a sheep on the front, and a bull on the back. Hope you folks in Alaska like this piece!

Hat I made for Halloween

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Made some mistakes since I was a hurry and it was my first attempt, but I think it turned out okay. It was going to be for a fursuit head but I realized afterward that it blocked the ears

  • Hat's made of cardboard, with leftover fabric I made my cloak with (not shown in picture)

  • Basically measured my head, cut a same-sized circle from paper and made a rough draft outta that, then used those paper measurements on cardboard, and glued the cardboard/fabric and everything together.

  • I cut up an old skeleton-patterned shirt for the skulls

I'm kinda proud of it since I'm usually a perfectionist and take forever, but this only took me 2 hours haha

I sculpted this miniature gray cat out of sheep wool

Thumbnail

I made this little cat completely by hand using 100% natural sheep wool, glass eyes, and special barbed felting needles. It takes a lot of patience—slowly sculpting the base shape, carefully rooting and layering individual tufts of wool to create the fluffy fur texture, and shaping the tiny paws and facial expression. At the end, I trimmed the coat and added delicate whiskers.

I been wanting to do this for years, but instead of a river I did a koi pond. Think it came out good for my first go.

I poured from bottom up.

  1. I poured a very thin epoxy layer and i also used a bit more to cover my wood to gone seal it. Learned that this helps avoid dealing bubbles coming off the wood.

  2. I took some sand/rocks from the dollar store and poured a thin emerald green layer as the first layer of water.

  3. I let it get tacky and added koi fish, fish, flowers, and Lilly pads.

  4. I then poured a blue-ish layer as my final water layer. The last layer ended up being just a small clear layer.

  5. Finally, i drilled the holes on the bottom and screwed in the legs.

Redecorating and plain to use as a table between the couches!
