Because we love crafts and we love JATP, we have decided to organise a week to celebrate them both. Welcome to I'll Let My Fingers Fly! The JATP Crafting Celebration week.
hello, gang, may i offer y’all julie’s “stand tall” lightning bolt embroidered on the back of a denim jacket as a submission for the sewing day @jatp-craft-week
(and a low-quality pic from a different video bc i realized that i never took any actual pics, and rn the jacket is at my apartment, and i’m at my parents house oops)
(i love me some crafts i’ll see y’all again on sunday when i have hopefully finished the sweater i was gonna post on yarn day monday rip)
I did it. It's honestly kind of surreal -this project has been such a big part of my life for two months. I feel like a proud but sad mom. My babies... they're all grown up...
Second Chances at the Yarn Store for day one of @jatp-craft-week
Coming to AO3 whenever I have a minute to write again 😂
Julie Molina just wanted to replace her crochet hook. It's not that much to ask! But when a cute guy mutters about knitting being the superior craft, she cant help but go off on a tirade.
Or, three times Julie and Luke met at the local yarn store and one time they entered it together.
Are you a crafter? Are you emotionally attached to a children’s Netflix show about ghosts featuring some of the best music since Abba? Then do we have an event for you!
To celebrate the amazing crafters in the fandom, we want to see all of your beautiful JATP creations. Show us what you have – we want to see them all! Let your fingers fly with inspiration and let’s see what you have inside you!
WHEN WILL IT BE?
Craft Week will be held from the 15th to the 21st of November 2021 - plenty of time for you to start planning and get excited!
HOW WILL IT WORK?
Each day, we’ll be highlighting a different craft. You can do anything for it, so long as it is JATP themed and fits the prompt. Maybe you want to make Flynn’s sewing playlist, or show us a ghost themed photoshoot inspired by Ray and the boys. Maybe you want to write about a meet cute at a yarn store – whatever it is, we want to see it!
QUESTIONS? Our ask box is open for whatever questions you may have. Before asking, please see the rules under the cut - if it isn’t addressed there, feel free to shoot us an ask and we’ll reply as soon as possible.

WHAT ARE THE PROMPTS?
Monday – Luke wants to see all your yarn craft projects! Want to write about how he got his beanie? Go for it! Want to do a gifset focused on the sweater Julie wears in episode eight? Can’t wait to see it! Show us your yarn projects – we want to see them all!
Tuesday – our favourite supportive dad with a heart of gold wants to see what you have for photography! Ray can’t wait to see all the photography themed ideas you have – a fic about Rose and Ray meeting through photography? Yes please! Want to show us how he and Carlos bond over it? We want to see all your ideas. Anything to do with JATP and photography for this day is wonderful!
Wednesday – our resident fashionista Flynn wants to see what you can do with a needle and some thread. Get those sewing machines going and let the ideas fly – did Reggie make those Sunset Curve shirts himself? Have you made your own JATP themed embroidery piece? Do you have Flynn's sewing playlist on repeat? If you have anything to do with sewing for this day, throw it our way!
Thursday – we all saw Julie’s killer future album cover, so now we want to see – what are your drawing creations? Have you drawn a character that you’re particularly proud of? Do you have ideas of when Julie began drawing? Does Luke tease her by asking if she needs a model? Let’s see where this one takes you all – we’re excited!
Friday – After spending so much time in museums screaming with Alex, Willie wants to see all your painting! This one really is wide open – have you painted the Sunset Curve logo on your jeans? Do you think Willie takes Julie to burst paint balloons with darts? Does everyone get together to make communal artwork before running away from the cops? Or have you painted something from the show that you’re bursting to show to the world? Whatever you have, we want to see it!
Saturday – Carlos the Ghost Toaster is always on the lookout for more digital art and today, he wants to see what you have up your sleeve. Did Tia teach him to edit on the iPad? Did Ray teach him photo manipulations? Do he and Reggie bond over digital art and the satisfaction of a finished piece? Do you have digital art you’re just bursting to show him? Please share!
Sunday – Reggie and Alex understand that the world of craft is large and varied, and that we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of what there is out there, so here’s a day when they want to see anything else you’ve got up your sleeve. Show them your hobbies, tell them your head canons, write your fics including the wonderful and varied craft forms that help make this fandom such a beautiful, varied space – we want to see everything you have.
QUESTIONS?
Our ask box is open for whatever questions you may have. Before asking, please see the rules under the cut - if it isn’t addressed there, feel free to shoot us an ask and we’ll reply as soon as possible.
There are very few rules to this event, but we have a couple in place to ensure that this event stays the enjoyable week that it is supposed to be.
YOU MUST USE THE PROMPT IN YOUR CONTRIBUTION
This means that if you are creating for day one, it needs to include yarn, be that in the form of showing us a punch needle project inspired by the show, or writing about a meet cute at the yarn store, or making a playlist for Emily to knit to.
KEEP IT SFW
Although some writers/artists enjoy making NSFW content, we have decided that the contributions for this week must be kept SFW. The show is aimed at minors and we want to keep this in mind.
NO HATE OR DISRESPECT
This event is about celebrating Julie and The Phantoms and enjoying crafting, so there should be no hate. You will not always agree with others and what they may interpret the crafts as, but you should be respectful at all times. Remember the Golden Rule: don’t like, don’t read (or look at).
ALL TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ALLOWED
If you make it, it’s acceptable as a contribution for Craft Week! It can be fanfic, gifsets, fanart, photo manipulations, moodboards, playlists, physical craft projects, digital craft projects, etc. Whatever the prompt inspires in you will be accepted.
NO WHITE-WASHING
White-washing of any kind is completely unacceptable. JATP has several POC in its cast and you should respect them by coloring/illustrating/writing their skin tones appropriately. Any examples of white-washing will not be accepted.
NO CHARACTER BASHING
This week is designed to be a fun week of celebration for craft. We all have our different favorite characters, and least favorites, but there is no room here for anyone to bring down a character/ship. If you don’t like them, make your contributions based on another character.
