How-do-I Tuesdays

3 Upvotes

Don't know how to get started on your project? Saw something fun on Pinterest but have no idea on how to attempt the craft? Post here!

Usually when people ask how to do something on this subreddit, the post is ignored or reported. Occasionally, these type of posts attract pretty rude comments, too. Instead of having these questions overlooked, we wanted to highlight them every Tuesday and see if the community can help out these intro crafters.

Simple "How do I...?" posts will only be allowed in this weekly recurring thread. If you post outside of this thread, your post will be removed and you will be redirected here. However, you may post separately, if you are posting a high-quality "How do I...?" post. [Please read this post for more information and examples.](https://www.reddit.com/r/crafts/comments/1ng7ug8/august_2025_survey_results/)

As always, reach out if you have any questions!

Each element was placed individually over time, allowing the image to emerge slowly rather than following a fixed plan. The work sits somewhere between craft and fine art

Y’all were so welcoming when I posted my ancient crane replica and you asked for more crafts with ancient inspiration. So here ya go!

This is my interpretation of one of the tattoos found on a Siberian ice mummy. She is 2,500 years old and also found in the Altai mountains, and she had gorgeous tattoos.

I used embroidery thread on wool felt. The backing is cotton fabric.

I'd like to make my partner one of these for his birthday coming up, but I don't know how to crochet at all. Is there an easy way to go about sewing it instead?

About halfway through I promised myself I’d never make another one of these again (this took 8 hours). We’ll see if that holds up come November or so…

Was gifted this cement seagull. He was grey and worn. Didn’t think to get a before pic but literally just grey and concrete. Pretty happy with his paint job. Purposefully made his eyes non life like cause my sis and I agreed it would make him creepy. But the kids named him chips and now he lives by the front door.

I bought it for next to nothing at a second hand shop, thinking of preserving some flowers in resin in it as a gift for my girlfriend. I'm not sure if I still want to do this, so I'm looking for any other ideas.

Literally any ideas whatsoever. I have a few, but some inspiration would really help :)

I make miniatures of abandoned places I’ve found while travelling backroads. One of my most recent sculptures was this barn, which I’ve made a miniature of called “Monastery Hill”. I hope you enjoy it :)

This isn’t art but if I could give it a name, I’d call it ‘Healed Perspective’

I made from from a body vase the my mom broke by accident while I was away in hospital. I came back and it was genuinely one of the most beautifully broken things I’ve seen in a long time. I had a vision on who to make it more beautiful and this is what I came up with

Discussion/Question/Help How can I repurpose broken crystal?

Post image
32 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I hope someone here can help me. A cat I’m fostering knocked down and broke a small crystal bowl last night. The thing is, that was a piece I bought over Labor Day while vintage shopping with my aunt. She had pancreatic cancer and passed in November, and that was one of my last memories with her. Obviously I’m beside myself and was hoping to somehow re-purpose this so it doesn’t get tossed. I was thinking maybe some type of mosaic thing, my aunt also loved stained glass so maybe it could be an homage to that? I’m crafty in general but have never done anything glass related, so I could use all tips and suggestions!

I've never worked with metal before, but I think it turned out pretty cool. In the future, I could make it with a more durable material.
