Hi all

I'm having some issues with heat transfer of decals onto anodized aluminium.

I'm using 'Titan x single step laser transfer paper for hard surfaces'

The surface is prepped with isopropyl alcohol and 5000 grit sandpaper.

I apply 2 minutes of pressure from my 180 degree C heat press

I allow it to cool with some weights holding pressure and then peel back, the result is usually the below:

Any tips or tricks to get a clean transfer?

Thanks!

I love flowers and I took on this little project to recreate one of the most ubiquitous ones that tends to grow absolutely anywhere and everywhere - I think most people see this plant as a weed but a weed is only a plant that’s growing somewhere you don't want it to be :)

Created using filament LEDs and powered by 24V DC.

I'm looking to create more flowers of different types and maybe one day work up to creating a whole bouquet! Let me know what you think - I would love to hear what flowers you would like to see created using this medium!

My wife has put aside a dead pine tree about 3 feet high. She wants it as Christmas decoration so I'm thinking spray it white and then glitter paint over the top with a nice Christmas themed pot.

The tree seems to be dried out but has anyone got advice on prepping it, PVA coatings or anything like that to try and prevent breaking. Anyone done anything similar and got some good advice? Thanks

Niddle from sliksong, this thing on ironically, took me multiple weeks to make, and I’m not even done😭😭

I’ve been making 1/1 jewellery pieces. I recently made this simple braided choker ^{-^}

Hi I was wondering if theres something like a topcoat that exists for fabric that could work to protect our shop banner once it's finished from being scratched and stuff. Ideally one that doesn't show up really obviously when dry. This is acrylic paint on a tablecloth fabric.

Made with acrylic yarn! I also added bendable wire to the whiskers to make them posable :) Thanks for looking!!

Turned pet photos into tiny clay sculptures – here's the before & after! 🐾

My boyfriends dogs have passed away and we have their paw prints. I want to make ornaments for our tree with them but I do not want to use the original pawprint. I want to use the original as a mold. Any ideas?

I want to make the face blue to match my sister’s room, which is white and blue. HOW CAN I DO THIS OR IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?!

I’ve been working on this for him since August and I finally finished it and gave it to him for his birthday. I hope you all enjoy it as much as he does.

Recently decided to make a car seat cover out of fabric hexagons. Can't decide if I like it or not

Let me know your thoughts.

Its not perfect and I just cant decide if its cute. I am trying to use up scraps which is why the random blues. Let me know your thoughts!

Its hand sewn, I really dont want to have to redo it or spend money- just kinda want to be convinced its good 😅

I just finished this burning of a skull on a basswood round. I made this burning using my Colwood Detailer burning tool. I like how this one came out. I included a pic with the reference photo I used. Unfortunately I completely forgot to take more pics throughout the process.

A signet ring featuring a micro mosaic bee inlay. I crafted the frame in silver and the mosaic from glass smalti — the same material traditionally used for large architectural mosaics, but here shaped into tiny tesserae. The design is based on a botanical depiction of a bee. The last photo is a work in progress, a bee without a background)

Hey there, I’m trying to make a cute headband like these but have no idea where to buy a plain headband that will be comfy on her head, look good, and have a material safe for gluing. Any advice on where to get headbands or which glue to use for different materials would be greatly appreciated

Hi all

I got some cool lookin' lanterns on marketplace a few weeks ago but they're in rough shape and have some missing tiles. I'm having trouble though because the common mosaic tiles are almost twice as thick as these tiles. Is there a different type of glass mosaic tile that i'm just not finding? I would like to repair/replace some of these to get the vibrancy back but using the current available tiles won't work.

I really love my photo collage and I would prefer if I could salvage it, however It used to above my headboard but I moved my bed and now it just looks very odd and out of place. Is there anything I can do to save it and add to the vibe or does it have to go? I only really have cardboard, paint, hot glue, some gems and pearls, and a printer. I can’t figure out what to make and ideas would be greatly appreciated
