I love how the orange and black turned out together, especially with the little pops of green. Such a fun color combo for Halloween! 👻

Question / Advice Obstacle course ideas needed!

3 Upvotes

I have a stall at my schools marketplace that was going to be sumo wrestling and I bought the suits and everything but they said it’s to dangerous so I can do an obstacle course instead. How on earth do I make this happen. I can borrow some stuff from the gym like tires and the like ladder thingy on the ground and cones but I want it to be big and span like the whole oval? Or at least half. And there needs to be two lanes so people can vs eachother. Any ideas?

Question / Advice Felt busy book question!

2 Upvotes

Hey fellow crafters, I’m in the process of making busy books for my nieces and nephew. I’m making one at a time so they’ll get better as I go. The first one is super cute but all the bulk is at the bottom of the pages so the top of the book is super not thick and the bottom is super thick.

The obvious solution is to spread the bulk out for the next 3 but this one is done. Any advice on how to make it more even before I do the finishing touches like ribbon trim and signing it “love, Auntie”

Any and all inspiration, tips, tricks, advice for anything regarding felt books is welcome and appreciated.

I want to upload some pictures, but I am at work when I write this post so I will briefly describe my process.
I used chipboard and a three hole punch, I covered some pages and felt and summon fabric. For the front and back covers, I stuffed them with a little bit of batting for thickness. I used freezer paper to print templates on and cut around for more precise shapes. I used all velcro for fastening, hot glue for glueing stuff, i did use some fabric stiffener for some of the loose pieces of felt. I handsewed an embroidery-esque border on some pieces. I used ribbon for trimming the edges. And lastly I tied the book shut with ribbon and glued the knots.

Question / Advice When is glue-free assembly actually useful in a miniature kit?

• Upvotes

Glue-free assembly sounds automatically easier until you think about what you want from the project. Someone who mainly wants clean assembly and clear stopping points may prefer snap-fit or slot-style construction because there’s no waiting for pieces to set. Someone who likes shaping, positioning, and adjusting tiny handmade details may find that same structure less interesting. The more useful comparison probably isn’t “modern versus traditional,” but how much hands-on fabrication the builder actually wants. What does glue add to the experience that a good mechanical connection can’t?

Question / Advice Can clear shatterproof ornaments be cut and, if so, how?

I need a clear slightly-more-than-half-a-sphere for a very small snowglobe. ​I have a very steady hand, in case this matters. Anyone have experience with this? Tool recommendations, etc?

General discussion Straight or angled tweezers for placing really tiny miniature parts?

1 Upvotes

Tweezers seem like the simplest miniature tool until you need to place a part behind something else without your hand blocking the view. Straight tips look easier for direct placement, while angled tips seem more useful when the work area is recessed or partly hidden. Grip pressure matters too, but buying a whole precision set before knowing which shape I’d actually use feels unnecessary. For miniature-kit assembly, which tweezer tip shape ends up being the most useful for everyday tiny-part placement?
