So I got some fabric pencils in the hopes of using a marker that would hopefully wash out alright… testing hasn’t been that great

So instead of more frustration I turn to the internet for a solution… I found nothing.

Generally I like using pen to mark out my pieces, but I’ve never actually washed any projects cause I’m a little worried it’ll just bleed and ruin the fabric, not washing out all the way. Is there anyone who’s had experience using pen, and does it wash out of fleece/plushies?

I know one can sublimate on wood. Also on vinyl and acrylic. Can you sublimate on other plastics? I work with a lot of HDPE. Can I sublimate on that? Or do you sublimate at too high a temp and thus would get warping? hmmmmmmmmmm

Can anyone who works with UV resin answer a question for me? I just got some new molds, very basic shapes (heart, circle, square, those types of things) and the finished product ends up curled upright, like it curls out of the mold. Am I curing it for too long or what?

To the crafty peeps out there. Have you ever tried to resize a glue stick? I read how on google, but want to know if anyone has actually tried it with any success. I got a bag of too big glue sticks and a mountain of projects.

Needlefelting disaster...

I was working on these quick and easy needlefelted keychains...but I finished two and I really don’t like how they’ve turned out at all...any needlefelters...help me...how do I get the finished product ultra smooth like I see on other craft photos?  Mine are always so fuzzy, no matter how many times I stab it (STABBUSTABBU) or trim it.  How do I fix this?

Craft question

So last year I made Thomas a black board for this birthday with all his favorites and stuff. I plan on doing it again, last year I used metallic markers on a black poster board and worked great but I wanted more vibrant colors. When I did our pregnancy announcement I used chalk markers but they smug a lot, is there something you can put on over so that it doesn't smug?

My office is having an ugly Christmas sweater day. I have a sweater that was going to be trashed (due to epic wear and tear) that will become my ugly sweater. 

Question: Will hot glue work on fabric because I don’t know if I have enough safety pins and I don’t have time to sew everything on?
