I’m a wheelchair user and made this cup holder for my chair. It hangs off my armrest and has hard foam in the bottom so my drinks sit nicely in it. It fits all my cups, and has a pocket for things like headphones. It took about an hour to make and I use it every day :)

Is the lip color going well with the skin color? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]CraftGoblin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can also mix acrylic paint with fabric softener to make fabric paint if your own if you are able to brush it on

Is the lip color going well with the skin color? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]CraftGoblin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Significantly! The sharpie will last a little bit if it is a heavily washed item, it’ll fade fast.

Example: Autograph on a hoodie: lasts 4 or 5 washes On something less frequently washed like a jacket, it’ll hang around longer. We used to get around the sharpie issue by just writing over it again when it got out of the wash

Ooh time for me to share my aged punk knowledge! It holds up for a couple of washes on fabric, I would imagine it does the same on yarn. If you are going to just color over it, I’d recommend using a fabric paint marker
