Hobbies & Crafts - May 2007

What is your favourite method? Stamping, Tea-bags, decoupage etc? Can you recommend some good card-making websites? Also looking for places I can find free verses.
Any tips on selling cards and for how much? Thanks

As part of my project i need to make a "historical" movie, something that is funny and has something to do with history, i can have help from other people so anyone got any ideas?
It can be like historical fiction/satire. Example: One of my friends is doing about how the Titanic was actually attacked by terrorists not an iceburg, and another friend is doing one about a Chicago mob, except they are all Asian so they know nothing about what to do!
I need your help, whats an idea like that?
Thank You!

I have an interest in making one.I've already made one but I want to try and make a challenging pattern that challenges my brain and hands.

Is it possible that anyone can lend me a book on Ojos de Dios?
it is because I've heard from websites that there is a book available and it contains a lot of patterns that is interesting.I cannot afford it from anyway so don't ask me to buy from Ebay or Amazon.

If I sound quite demanding,sorry about it.I'm so interested in it and wishes to try on more patterns.

Please help me.I'll add more details to my questions if anyone ask me to elaborate more on it.

P/S:If anyone knows any website(s),do write it down anyway...

I can make the outfit no problem, but the hat is another story. Does anyone have a pattern or know where I can download one. I don't have time to order one, the costume has to be finished by May 31st. Please keep in mind I live in a very small town (2000 people) and don't have resources such as Michaels, WalMart, etc.

Thanks for your help.

I wanted to design my shoes because I want to customize them and maybe also some shirts. Why shouldn't I just use a sharpie? I tried sharpies before, but colors don't really stay and are hard to really smoothly draw with....are fabric markers better? Which ones?

I ordered online a linen tablecloth that is stamped for embroidery, assuming it would be white as it appeared online. In real life, however, its got that sandy linen color. I'd like a white tablecloth, but am afraid that soaking the cloth in a bleach solution will also bleach out the embroidery pattern, ruining my project before i even start! Any ideas on how to whiten the linen without removing the embroidery pattern?

you may make more money selling party supplies, but you should return to making your customers happy also. Add party to the fabric sales if needed..don't penalize the crafters. You already sell party supplies in the card area. I make lots of baby blankets both sewn and crocheted and am very dissapointed that I and others like me will have to shop elsewhere. Maybe I will find a better store than Wal-mart. Please reconsider removing Fabrics and some crafts from any store.

I've seen crayon drawings transfered to t-shirts on crafting shows on tv. Has anyone tried this? Do you HAVE to use crayons especially made for fabric or would regular old crayons work? Thought it would be a fun project to do with my nieces.
