Learn how to make realistic stones from cheap Dollar Tree foam board. These stones could be used on the exterior of a dollhouse, a stone wall, patio, or chimney.
Transform a cheap battery-operated tea light from the dollar store into a realistic fire pit complete with burned, ashy logs & flickering flames. There are so many tips & tricks to see!
Some of my favorite things:
Double-sided flooring tape

Heat gun: I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture, and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. It gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

    This is brilliant. My glue waste is over the top. I spend too much time poking needles into fine tips, glue that hardens in the bottle, thinning glue so it will actually flow through a fine tip....the list is long and the struggle is real. 🤣

      @queencityminis Před 4 hodinami

      So true. I had a large bottle of super glue dry up on me. Now, I use these little bottles of nail glue. The baking soda combined with the cap does a much better job of preventing waste.

      I use the baking soda as added insurance underneath the cap. Super glue often dries out even with a cap on it.

      Thomasmoser, I suspect anyone who crafts is well versed in keeping their glues capped. It only slows the drying up minimally.

    I have literally no explanation for it, but something about miniatures makes me feel so joyous. I'd describe it as "celebratory". Seeing that teeny tiny little egg makes me want to run around giving out free high fives. Like how some people feel after watching their football team make a particularly impressive goal. But with impossibly small kitchen items.

    Hey. I like the white wax. Looks more high end imo. Also, no disrespect darlin, but please try to take better care of your nails. I know you're a crafter, I am too, but that amount of dryness can potentially cause health issues later. You have talent and I'd hate to see you sidelined from a nasty infection. Have a great day. 😃
