Having a hard time on figuring out how to decorate my cane

I have a cane which I’ve wrapped a flower garland around to decorate it, but recently, I’ve wanted to decorate it based on my interests and embracing the halloween season, I wanna make it punk based as well.

There was a tiktok I saw of someone who decorated their cane, and I’d love to mix smth like that with black roses/flowers wrapping it around as well. I'll see if I can find it but idk where to find items based on these decorations?

Tiger Lily #18 “My sister’s jeans got stained with ink, so I painted Tiger Lilies over it 🌸”

My sister’s jeans got accidentally stained with ink, so instead of throwing them away, I decided to paint over the damaged area.

I used acrylic paint and turned it into a little Tiger Lily design. 🌸🧡

I really liked how the accident turned into something completely different!

Any recommendations for a clear sealant for my phone case?

hi! i drew a design on my clear phone case (hard plastic back) using a Sakura Gelly Roll classic white pen (gel pen not acrylic :/). i googled and it said it would get scratched off if i didn’t seal it, but google is recommending me contradicting answers (use mod podge, don’t use it, use a krylon spray, etc) so does anyone have any experience/tips?

my design also has small dots and lines very close together so i wanted to use a spray but was scared it would run/drip or become cloudy. thanks!

What to make with thin foam sheets?

I only needed two sheets of white, but they came in a 12-pack of several colors. Curious if y'all have any ideas, I don't work with foam much but I'd hate to let it go to waste!

Seeking advice on pizazz

Originally, I had bought this shelf from Goodwill. It was completely white and had no knobs for the drawers. I wanted a more romantic theme, so I opted for a magenta-ish color and painted the drawers' different shades of red.

The plan is to hot glue the brass insects onto the drawers to act as knobs. I really like how it's evolved, but I can't help but feel it's missing something. Any advice?

Would you utilize a table like this in your living room?

I have a small house and not a lot of space. I don’t do anything messy. I mainly just draw and color and do diamond art. Simple things… right now I have a plastic foldable table in the middle of my living room and I would like to put it away and get something like this. Im curios what you think? Do you think I would actually use it? Have you ever used something like this, was it comfortable to use?
Any opinion to help me decide would be so helpful.

taxidermy stuffed bat 🦇🖤

im thrifted this guy out of a goodwill bag of stuffies and repurposed him for taxidermy! my bestie and i are trading boo baskets in september and at first wanted this to be more aesthetic but the more beads i added the more whimsical he became, i kinda wanna add a bow or frilly collar to make the neck of it not look so bare but overall i think this was so fun and inexpensive to make!

There’s no good irl crafting places

I don’t know if anyone relates to this, and maybe my idea is unrealistic but there is NO where to just go and pick random supplies to craft with full creativity.

90% of what I see when I look for something is pottery painting. And, I love pottery painting… but I want to MAKE something with my hands.

The other 10% is just classes where everyone makes the same thing. I hate those classes so much because it makes me feel like I’m back in art class at school. We all make the same thing, there’s no creativity. When I say I want to craft, I mean I want it to be based on the item I created itself not having the whole point be the creation of it where we all follow a tutorial.

I saw one place at the Providence mall in Rhode Island and I went in to check it out hoping it’d be like what I want and it was better than what I just named except you picked one specific craft with specific supplies and paid to do it. I don’t like this simply because I don’t like being told how to do my craft and what I have to use.

All the facebook craft groups I find, you have to bring your own supplies. Which is fine! I just want a place with options to choose from as well.

All I want is a place where I can walk in, pay by the hour or the materials. Look at shelves with buttons, ribbon, scraps of paper, fabric samples, etc. And just… make whatever I want to with whatever I want to. I should be able to introduce myself and sit at a table with other crafters and just converse about nerdy art stuff while I’m making a collage, the person sitting beside me is painting water colors, another person is making one of those clay face puppets, and the other is finger weaving some yarn without a worker standing over our shoulders telling us what to do…

Why has no one brought this to life yet? Do people not realise just how much WASTE would be saved by being donated to a free-for-all-supplies craft bar? So many plastic bottle caps, soda can tabs, shredded paper, news paper clippings, yarn, socks, buttons, miniatures, etc. go to waste and straight into the ocean when they could be upcycled at a place like this. I’d even be ok if places like home depot donated their little paper paint samples I could make a rainbow ordered scrap book with those little paint samples squares!

It would be such a good date spot, or a place for parents to take their kids. I’m so bored with the current public-craft state of society right now.
