For those who do pop tab crafts, what do you use to bind two tabs together?

Shiny Bowie

So shiny….Damascus and 416 stainless San mai Bowie with slight tapered tang. I tried a very different finishing technique on this blade than I have before. Certainly not unhappy with the outcome.

Peonies for daaaaaaays

Peonies are my favorite flower hands down. These are made with Carte Fini crepe paper. #crepepaper

Rainbow Loom Ideas/Help!

Hello fellow crafters. I recently got a Rainbow Loom and found the process very soothing, but I don't really like the finished product. I don't like the way the rubber catches on my arm hair. So I've just been making them and taking them apart or giving them away, which is fine, but I'm wondering if anyone here has done anything outside of the box or different with either the bands or loom. Basically just looking for some inspiration. Thanks! Hope everyone has a great week :)

Wholesale candle supplies

I am trying to start up a candle business to help support my children’s autism therapy. I don’t have a ton of extra funds to invest. Is there anyone who has any information on suppliers for wax and fragrances that might be near St Louis Missouri? I am trying to save on shipping costs by going local but I am struggling to find a business I can go to for my supplies. Any suggestions are appreciated!

My favourite pop up of all time. I loved designing this.
