folding paper bunny and crescent moon for mid autumn festival

I have a whole jar filled with paper stars I made over the summer :3

me realizing my experiences with sewing have been a lie this whole goddamn time:

I don’t know about human surgeons, but that’s a suture pattern I use to close skin all the time and you can see why.

The slip stitch (or invisible stitch) was created to hide seams and later used by surgeons.

My cousin is a surgeon and was sewing something and used that stitch and then froze and said “Wait this isn’t a person.”

Grandma said “We used it first keep going.”

remember not to embroider the patient

why not

Glue Chart by Unknown (if you made this, let us know!)

Just a simple, but terribly useful, tutorial this Thursday.  Over the years, I have amassed so many different types of glue, solely to use on costumes and props.  However, most of the time, I just keep trying different glues until I find one that works.  But with this handy dandy little chart, I don’t have to guess any more!  No more reading labels of 10 different kinds of glue, no more fingers stuck instead of objects, no more pray that your prop won’t fall apart because you used the wrong glue.

Excellent resource! :3

OOH YES

yeah guys do NOT hot glue metal you WILL REGRET IT

Because everyone likes flowers. If you have the original sources please add them for me.
