I think in the first or second post there’s a list of items that were discussed as crafting possibilities.
Cookies have been popular in the past as well. That would fall under the “treats” category, I suppose.
Sort of related story: I was excited to eat the chocolate chip cookies that my dad makes, but he used old chocolate chips this time. They tasted like chalk. He didn’t mind and neither did my nephew, but my ma and I knew what was up. We did not eat them. My sister saved the day by bringing scotcheroos. If you’re from the Midwest, you probably know what I’m talking about
I’m toying with the idea of making some paper mache moths as wall art. They’d be fun to paint. We’ll see if that actually happens though. And maybe some monster mini sculpts as I never did make those for the garage sale. If I design them right they could come with little crates like my baby dragons.
I made this little guy ages and ages ago. He’s one of the few pieces I’ve kept. A series of mini monsters with accessories would be so cute.
This was fun last time I did it and I think the timing is right to join again this year. Yay! Anyone have laser cutting requests or needle felting requests?
I have other stuff made / to make, but I’m happy to take ideas!
I used my Silhouette to cut stencils in the past. I first tried with acetate sheets, but they were way too lightweight. I tried with some stencil material that I had purchased, but it was too thick. My mom had a laminating machine and I found that the plastic laminating sheets worked just right. I ran the sheets through the machine and once they were laminated, they were heavy enough for stencils, but not too heavy to cut with the Silhouette.
If you’re interested, I’d be happy to send you the files I created and you’d be more than welcome to use any of them to create stencils for your shop.
Like, some of the model furniture? I did some beds and park benches awhile back. I know scale can be pretty particular, so let me know what youre thinking.
I typically work in 1:12 scale but sometimes go 1:24 if I’m doing a tin or something. When I have a bit more time I can link some things I’ve found that look intriguing. I’m about to start work…. I hate when it interrupts play time!
I’ve seen laser cut garden markers which I could use. Sometimes I forget what I planted where
And I could use some more needlefelted dryer balls. I have three, but they get lost in my clothes piles or my cats steal them. Oooo, needlefelted cat toys!
I was just thinking about the STS Market when I got a notification for it lol
@fishstix43 I don’t follow what you’re making? Are you spinning yarn?? I’m looking for Christmas gifts and I have a friend who would appreciate home spun yarn!
I’m not really sure what to make for the shop. Does anyone have any interest in the stuff I’ve made? It would be embarrassing to join and no one buys anything from your shop.
Also does your shop name have to have your user name in it?
You make great stuff and i don’t think you will have any issues selling your stuff in the store. We use this thread to sort of make suggestions on what we want so people can get ideas. Everyone has this feeling, at least I know I do.
