Craft Chat & Swaps

Lately I have had a hard time selling my soaps. Since Tophatter is now invite-only my ability to make any money there has almost completely diminished. I've had a hard time scheduling enough even though I have priority scheduling. Etsy has been very slow this year as I have...

Hey everyone! I have a ton of antique yet crappy spoons. The finish is wearing of, so they taste absolutely awful. Here is my challenge: What can I make with these spoons? So far, I've found a tutorial for making spoons into plant markers, but I'm not much of a gardener.

Does anyone know of a pattern for the birds or of a good tutorial on how to sew them? I think that they would make a great gift! Especially if I could make blocks to go with them so that it's like a real version of the game! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Pamela introduced me to Tophatter a couple weeks ago, and I am in love with the place now! It's been a great outlet for me to sell my discontinued glycerin soaps and jewelry. I think I've made about $40 or so there since I started listing auctions. It's been a nice boost!...

I would like some opinions and suggestions, on what you would like to see made and up for sale. If you could take a quick look, i would be ever so grateful! :3
