Yes, I know there are two different cats. I will be making them as a mismatched pair.

What is this called?

An anklet of mine broke today and i want to make a new one, but i don’t know how to make one and don’t know what it’s called so i can’t look it up either. Help!

How would you make this?

I know some will think it’s ugly. But I really like the ombre and the glossiness. I want to dupe it but I’m puzzled on the best strategy.

Fabric that will NOT cause friction burn on neck?

Hello, First-time poster on this sub! So I play guitar, and a cool trick I do is that I spin my guitar around myself like a hula hoop (you can check my profile for examples). The thing is, my current straps give me friction burns on my neck. I currently use [DiMarzio Cliplock Strap](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073X6D86Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) which is made of nylon. I also have another one made of polyurethane. A friend mentioned lining the underside of the strap with some sort of cloth that will not cause these friction burns. So I was hoping to find one and sew it under and on the sides. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks

Help with Dye?

Got a tan shirt from work (pictured) and looking to dye it pink! Trying to figure out a) if pink dye on a tan shirt will still result in pink (i’m not great on color theory, lol) and if dying the shirt with rit dye will mess up the colors of the logo/design. Ideally, i’d like to get the shirt pink without impacting the color of the writing/logo itself. Google has been giving me iffy answers as to whether or not rit will ruin the design, so throwing it to the pros!

Crafts with 35mm Film Negatives

I have years worth of 35mm film negatives documenting the growth of my boyfriends kids. He already has all the scans, but I wanted to gift him some of the negatives because of their permanence and the ability to rescan them as technology improves. I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions or ideas as to crafts I could do with the negatives that wouldn’t destroy them. I was thinking something like a mobile, but that’s all I’ve come up with. Thanks!

TBR Vending Machine

I’m going to be transforming this little capsule machine into a machine to help me get through my TBR pile (thanks, TikTok) and I can’t decide on how I want to decorate it - I can’t decide on if I just want to use stickers, or paint, or what! Any advice would be nice!
