Dangerous site for Craft Inspiration

[chocolateteabag]

Ok so may be late to the party so don't shoot me if you all know about this site craftgawker

It is A-mazing - I have wasted hours this weekend clicking through to the different tutorials and pictures listed and now have far too many new ideas.

I like how the ideas are sorted by area or you can look at most popular of most recent.

Be warned it is addictive reading.....

Does anyone have any others to recommend...?

oooohhhhhhh 488 pages of lovely goodies

thanks for that!!!

I have wasted hours on there today!

And bookmarked a good number of things to try :)

I know!

I have just seen this tutorial for doing a printed t-shirt using letter stickers and tape to make the stencil and now can't wait for the weekend to get myself to the shops!

So far I have pinned to a Pinterest board: a sloth together cardboard castle, painting a t shirt with bleach (older children!!), some thing called "cold porceline" dough, turning rocks into monsters and lots of other things :o

....anyone checked out wanelo yet?

I only found out about it yesterday..(sigh)

Fabulous! Also spent hours noodling around looking at things. Love the t-shirt and rock monsters.

Chocolate you are evil.

I have been surfing craftgawker during my commute and bookmarking projects I want to do.

There's about 40 so far, it's going to cost me a fortune.

I have the weirdest shopping list ever

Cornstarch
Image fixing fluid
Food colouring
etc

If anyone finds it they will think I am a terrorist making a bomb out of glitter!

Cornstarch.... you're doing the "cold porcelain" thing aren't you?

I'm not even going to look.

wow I have found loads on there I want to do! Thanks op :)
I'm going back on it now as I want to see this cold porcelain...

let me save you the search. it looks like a kind of air drying clay.

like a moth to a flame ...

I am doing those porcelain buttons!

Is cornflour the same as cornstarch?

I hope so because that's what I bought!

Having googled it is the same. The US name is cornstarch.

Ta soupdragron.

it wrong to want to leave peppa pig world right now so I can go make buttons? [Grin]

You're mumsnetting in Peppa Pig World...?

Can't say I blame you.

Well its either MN or go insane! We end up there weekly during the holidays. Don't worry dh is watching the DC (honest)

What are you planning to make with the dough?

I don't know! My first decision is whether to do it with the children or wait til they are at their father's...

I want to pin this very thread to a board celebrating cheery chat. It made me smile!

Oh my, I have lost half a day on that site, thank you

Oh dear. I clicked. Much time will be lost. Much money will be spent. But will I ever actually make anything?

My favourite inspiration site is Make it and love it. She's awesome. And she has three kids. No idea how she does it!

how is everyone doing? Any projects made yet or are you still gawking?

I haven't started on the buttons yet as I have been side tracked by the friendship bracelets

My bottle of lemon juice arrived from Ocado this morning so I think I'm ready for the "cold porcelain" stuff.

Do you think you can make it white and then paint the finished article? I'm thinking that, for children, this may be better.
