I posted a pic of what I have been working on today. It was mind-numbing but pretty addictive and I have plans to do many more.

Is the base styrofoam?

I love thumbtacks and actually collect interesting ones. Thanks for showing the possibilities of what can be done with them! That is jaw dropping craft magic!

greetings crafters

i need some advice

i am trying to make my niece a chapbook for xmas
i've mocked up a cover in photoshop but i am unsure of the best way to actually make it a cover

my first thought is 4x6 photo prints spray adhesive-d to card stock and then all stitched up with a waxed floss

chapbook makers
will this work? is there a better solution?

i'm open to any and all suggestions

thank you

update for the crafting record

photo prints adhered to card stock seems to work - time will tell the durability but all signs are good

5x7 prints are better because there is less scrap when cutting down 8x11 sheets of paper to fit

I'm making this! I found the window frame in a wood pile and thought it was the PERFECT width for a queen sized bed...and it IS

Does anyone here embroider? I used to about 20 years ago and have forgotten some of the fancier stitches. I found some gorgeous patterns on UrbanThreads and am dying to try them out!!

I can, but it has been years. These days you can simply google a stitch and there are you tube videos that show you how. It is a wonderful thing!

Now off to look up Urban Threads!

Me! It's not something I do on a regular basis, but I do embroider. I will have to check out Urban Threads, too!

Going to work on some crafty projects later tonight while I'm on an overseas conference call for work.

I found a great little scan that shows a bunch of easy embroidery stitches:
