What is a craft project you've completely successfully or would like to?

That’s pretty, it looks like mosaic! I like to build things out of pallets (or skids if you prefer). I need a new computer desk/table so that is my next project. A friend gave me what looks to be a brand new pallet so I can’t wait to get started. I also do wood carving, that is my favorite, but I will give almost anything a go. Great Question!

In college, made a coffee table out of a plank of maple. I lent it to a friend and never got it back. He thought it was a gift and took it back to Brazil with him. I made the leftover 16 inches of the plank into a bread board which I still have. It’s all done by machine, but looks hand made. The handle looks hand carved and the hole in it is a bit off center.
I also made a pretzel holder which was cute, but rather limited in practicality.
I never used it.
Wood working was not my forte..

Once I made a lamp out of seashells and sea glass that I had collected.

Most of my hoped-for crafts involve food. Haha. For instance, I would love to start making my own tempeh.

This paper model
The head alone took me 2 hours.

I made some napkins and a tablecloth for a dinner party that I had.

I have been a crafter/costumer most of my life. A list of my successful projects would be very long.

I love making stuff! I draw, paint (both art and objects), do odd little projects with decoupage (I once covered a wooden step stool with tiny pictures of fine art cut from an art catalog. My kids still use it like 11 years later.) And love woodworking, though I haven’t done any in a while. My biggest furniture build so far has been a bookcase with divided shelves. I’m hoping to start making and remaking furniture again soon, and want to branch out into pallet work like @rooeytoo.

@augustlan – you should get an angle grinder and try carving, that is great fun!

@rooeytoo I would totally give it a go. :)

@augustlan – just get yourself a cheap angle grinder and a couple of these in coarse, medium and fine and you will be ready to go! Be sure to wear a dust mask.

My birthday is coming up and I want a dremel.

I have a science and crafting blog and have some of my products in a shop in the city. Today, I am hemming curtains for the living room, once they come out of the wash.

I have made costumes for halloween as well as historical re-enacting. My main product that I make, though, is soap, but I am going to be making some things out of recycled plastic bags.

I have an old dresser trunk that is over 100 years old that is begging for a make over and to be utilised nicely in my kitchen, but I am a little scared to touch it.

Dremmels are for sissies, get a Foredom!

@rooeytoo See-through grinding discs! Brilliant !

I consider myself pretty crafty. I make jewelry, my most recent crafting endeavor is learning to fire glass in a kiln (my avatar is also an example of my glass work), I needlefelt, and I’m also trying to learn to carve, although I haven’t finished my first project so I don’t have anything to show off here.

@Mariah – some really nice stuff. I love what people are doing with felt, I would never have thought of all the applications I see today. What are you carving?

@rooeytoo Thanks! Needlefelting is so versatile. The one I linked above is a flat piece, which is what I most like to do, but more commonly people make three dimensional figures, like Mr. Octopus here.

I’m carving a whale! I thought that’d be a pretty simplistic shape for my first attempt. I find it difficult because my arms are really weak. I’ve started cheating and using my dremel, which works a lot better for me.

@Mariah – the octopus is cute and I have seen beautiful and realistic flowers, amazing!

I do all power carving but I use a Foredom which is like a dremmel on steroids. Eats a lot more wood in a lot less time when used with the big burrs. Takes some strength to hold onto but not as much as an angle grinder. Whales are fun, with a nice piece of grainy wood, can do some outstanding carvings because you can see the wood! Post pics when you feel like it.

@rooeytoo and @dabbler Those see-through discs really are genius! I didn’t even know such a thing existed. I’d like that kind of thing for my table saw, too.

@augustlan – The guy that invented all those is an aussie who moved to USA because of marketing opportunities. He is a character but a smart guy, I would never have thought of such a thing before he came up with it. It also puts a lot less drag on your grinder because they are so much lighter in weight.
