You'll have about 2 months to craft your items and send them off to their new homes. If you think you'll be late, please PM ASAP! If you'd like to craft more, discuss it with your partner and you both can figure it out between the both of you.

Hi guys! Anyone interested in participating in a Twilight Swap? I watched the movie twice in theater since it's came out and I believe it deserves it's own swap here on craftster. Whatdya say?

PS - Sign-ups wont be until after the holidays. 

So I bought my candles and printed out my designs that I want on the candle... now what? How do I go about this? What supplies do I need?

So I've been a busy bee lately with swaps and making other things. It's been a blast too!









Now the question is... what do you think?

What M&P base do you prefer to work with?

I used clear glycerine base and a shae butter base and I'm not satisfied with either. They both smelled funney after many drops of FO and didn't lather well. 

Please help me?

Hey guys! So I'm making a bunch of spa baskets for Christmas but I need some help with packaging labels. I made soaps and decided to wrap them in saran wrap and cut out a little piece from card stock and write the "flavor" on it and tie it on there via ribbon.

I made headache balm (kept in 1oz tins) and lip balm (kept in lip tubes) and I need labels for them! Any ideas or supplier stores where I can purchase some?

Thanks in advace guys!

Ok I'm pretty pissed at myself. I was on here lastnight looking at soaps and stuff and I clicked on a link in someone's signature and it was a huge soap supply shop. It had hundreds of scents, essentional oils, molds, etc. 

I got kicked off AOL lastnight and didn't bother to go back online. I went online this morning and cleared the history on my computer before checking my history for this website. 

Now for the life of me I can't find this dang website again. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Please share the link! Or even where do you get your supplies?

[To sell or not to sell?]

I've been having fun making jewelry while watching movies lately! 


Blue glass bead earrings hanging from a handmade chain using jump rings.


A care bear necklace made of shrinky dinks coated with a matte finish.


Yet another care bear necklace made of shrinky dinks coated with a matte finish.


A batman necklace! The pendant is made out of wood and handpainted. I used a clipping from a magazine and put 3 coats of modge podge over it.


Same as above but a bit different and it's pin up style. The image is from a Play Girl. 

Now what do you think? To sell or not to sell?

So I ran into this thread: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=196551.0

It included this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akNJ6S2UqsE

Now my boyfriend is a die hard Transformers fan so I sent him the link via email regreting it instantly knowing that he'd beg me to make him a costume. Sure enough that's what happen! Now here's the story - I made it sound like I wasn't going to make him one but I'm actually considering it. He's in the Air Force and he's going away for training for 2.5 months soon so I have plenty of time to work on it when he's not around. 

The real question is... any pointers or tips on how to go about making this and actually having a transforming version like above? Of course he'll want to be Optimus Prime!
