Loom to the Moon

A question about : Loom to the Moon

Morning everyone

There is an incredible young boy called Skye who lives near me, who despite being very poorly decided he wanted to 'loom to the moon'. Due to his illness he can no longer make the chains himself so he is asking for help!

Read more about him here on his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/loomtothemoon/timeline
Or his blog https://www.blueskyethinking.org/loom-to-the-moon/

Hello, I wondered if anyone could help and tell me what is needed to make this

It's like the stuff you can do cross stitch with (but much bigger holes) and plastic, and what size ribbon would you need. It's nt my project but the hospital craft room is in need of it and I want to order some but have no idea what to get!

Personalised Greetings Card

A question about : Personalised Greetings Card

Hi
I've been looking for a greetings card for a special occasion, I know exactly what I want but I can't find a card anywhere. It's a fairly simple design (a silhouette of a country with a heart indicating an area on the silhouette and an inscription on the front and inside).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Alternatively, are you a card maker that could do this sort of thing?

Please let me know.

Thank you
Ms Choc

best paint for jars??

A question about : best paint for jars??

I have a lot of nice Yankee Candle and coffee jars I want to decorate for Halloween, Christmas and general use and wondered what is the best paint / spray to use (and value for money)?
I have painted a few with acrylic paint so far and although they are OK they took about 6 coats to cover and I also seem to have some 'lumps' even tho' the paint seemed to go on well and the brushes were clean.
thanks in advance!

      Glass etching paste/cream and stencils

      A question about : Glass etching paste/cream and stencils

      Hello

      I don't know if anyone has used the above, but I have some paste and want to design a glass for my dad. I don't want to use a pre made stencil as I want it to be personal, but don't know what to use to create my own. I know they have this clear stuff in American called Frisket tape which looks a bit like clear book covering so I wondered if book covering would work?

      Thanks

      Anna
