As many crafts as I am already doing, I still have some I want to try my hand at.

I have everything I need to make paper, except the time! I have also tried paper marbling with acrylic paints, but haven't really tried it much.

Is there another craft you want to try?

I've also tried many things and I do paint on and off from time to time. I loved toll painting very much because it was easy to learn and create a product in a short period of time. One thing I've never made though is scented candles. I love them and burn so many of them that I would love to learn how to do this for myself and maybe start a little business from that.

Both candles and melt-and-pour soap are on my list! I am a little closer to the soap, as I have just had a request for some from my hubby, and I just got the scents for it yesterday. Good luck to you!

I would love to make wind chimes. I saw a friend of mine do it with seashells. They come out beautiful. I think this summer this will be the craft for me.

Good luck on that! I love wind chimes, there is so much you can do with them.

I want to learn how to make things out of wood! I think there are some really cool things you can make out of wood


myLot reputation of 92/100. blondbat (320)   ranked 25 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

I have seen some great stuff made of wood. For a while, my hubby was into woodcraft. I am still hoping to get a couple of things for myself!

I'm like you, I already do a lot of things. But there is always more I want to do, I have a "kit" to make a stained glass light shade. I have never "soldered" or made any kind of stained glass projects. I have a solder gun, all I have to do is get time, the mood, (that's a biggie), and confidence to learn. "I have the want too's", really bad, so I know I will eventually get to it!


myLot reputation of 92/100. blondbat (320)   ranked 25 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

I have a big case of the "I want to's" as well! That's what keeps me going. Don't ever lose that!

I brought the supplies to try jewelry making, but it has not turned out well. The bracelet came out okay, but the earrings were a messed. When I get some free time, I will try again.

if you need some advice I make jewelry and would be willing to answer any questions here's my website address www.freewebs.com/wyredonwire

I have been making jewelry for 6 years but I started as a beginner who had a hard time with it as well. Books, classes and the internet are the way to go, as well as practice! Good luck!

I will be teaching classes myself for the first time next month. I have not yet put my class projects together, but was going to draw some from my online store:

www.bibelots.etsy.com

I have been busy, so stay tuned for some new pieces coming soon. Taking pictures is harder than making the jewelry LOL


myLot reputation of 97/100. venshida (3635)   ranked 12 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

Thanks, right now my plate is full so when I finish my projects I will start the jewelry making process again. I will check both sites out.

I would also love to try stained glass. I did it once in High school and while labor intensive I thoght it was really fun. You can also make such beautiful things. Even a simple box looks 10 times fancier if it's made from stained glass.

Unfortunatley I don't really have the studio space to do something like that, but it's a good thing to have on a wish list. My boyfriend did get me a gift certificate to go to a fused glass class. They teach you how to do it and let you use their kiln. I'm really looking forward to it. Just gotta make time to go to the class now :-)


myLot reputation of 92/100. blondbat (320)   ranked 25 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

When I was a kid, one of my mom's friends did have a studio and made stained glass stuff. It was sooo cool!

Since I make jewelry, I have found myself wanting to work in glass as well. What they get for the dichroic glass focal beads - OY VEY! Enough to make a girl start making her own right away, but they are so very beautiful! Good luck with the classes.

I have done so many but there are so many more I would like to learn right now my main thing is jewelry making but there are even a lot of stuff I still want to learn there like soldering, and glass bead making and wire crocheting (next week my supplies come in for that) I also want to learn some stained glass and basically everything I haven't done creating things has always been my passion, plus I'm cheap and I dont like paying for something I might be able to make.


myLot reputation of 92/100. blondbat (320)   ranked 25 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

I certainly understand the part about being cheap and wanting to make it yourself! That's what got me started making jewelry. I wanted to buy a set of wineglass charms for some friends, but the selection was dismal and expensive. I knew I could make much better ones for much less. I was right, and haven't stopped since...

I am experimenting with wire spool knitting, as soon as I retrieve my spool knitter. I left it somewhere, and won't get it back until this weekend.

I've recently become interested in quilting. That seems a little daunting to me at the size of the project, however I started with some quilted placemats that turned out great. Now I've found a pattern for a simple baby quilt. Just the size to "try my wings" at this. Also there is a quilting technique where you prepair the squares, then sew them together with the seams on the outside. You trim the seams and wash and dry the quilt and the seams get kind of cute and fuzzy looking. It's called 'rag quilting'.


myLot reputation of 92/100. blondbat (320)   ranked 25 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

There is a technique that sound similar - it goes by "Quilt in a Day" I have a couple of different quilt booklets about that technique. If I ever get around to quilting, that's the first one I will try - a very big IF.

I love learning how to do new crafts. I have tried many things over the years and some have done quite well at, and taken to quite quickly others I have found to be quite tedious and some not as enjoyable.

I would like to take a jewelry making class. It looks fun and interesting. I have seen some beautiful handmade jewelry.

I to don't have the time nor the money for the beads to at this time. :)

I'd like to learn how to crochet. I don't know why people think only older people would enjoy that, but it sounds enjoyable and thereaputic all at the same time.


myLot reputation of 92/100. blondbat (320)   ranked 25 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

I never really got the hang of crocheting, but I knit alot. I got the dummies book for knitting and crocheting and bought a whole set of crochet hooks so I guess I could teach myself to crochet - like I do everything else!


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20750)  5 years ago

I'd like to know how to knit too. I don't know if I could teach myself to do it, but I could sure try. : )


myLot reputation of 92/100. blondbat (320)   ranked 25 out of 1,065 in crafts  5 years ago

The Dummies book is an excellent way to learn both! Really helped me alot!!
