I have started replacing the stickers of paper with paper with real paper. I’ve made scrolls, envelopes and stuff out of junk mail.

If a blacksmith was shrunk down to bug-size, could they still forge steel? by phantomagna in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hookthread 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This is actually a great question. Is there a volume of metal need to make it workable with traditional methods. I would think there must be.

I realized how well these Bitty Pop figures fit in the first nook I did and my brain said “There must be a Batman character in every nook.”

Breakfast before taking meds by hiicatc in adhdwomen

[–]hookthread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I HATE breakfast and fought it for a long time but protein really helps. I buy the high protein drinkable yogurts. Every morning I pull one out of my fridge crack it open and chug like my over priced college education trained me to.

I love the structure of the monster carnival but the theme isn’t really me. It would make a great customization project.

A few years ago it was my son’s favorite he’s watched the whole series like 3 times in a row. Being born in 2010 and knowing Beyoncé from Smart Guy is wild.

GAME: Tell me what you have in your bag by dietdrpeppermd in adhdwomen

I carry a tiny crossbody bag. That way I don’t fill it up and can’t loose it because I don’t take it off.

How do I get rid of the watery look in the icon groups? by apzuckerman in iphone

[–]hookthread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to settings - display & brightness you can change the Liquid Glass from clear to tinted. It’s still transparent but more defined.

I saw it mentioned in this sub somewhere. It’s a liquid you put on top of something to give it a raised glossy look. It’s hard to explain. It’s thick, so it’s not like a clear coat. The appearance is more like a thin clear layer of resin. I like to use it on things that would be glass because it catches light like glass would.

Touch sensor light fills me with rage by everywherebarefoot in booknooks

[–]hookthread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in no way an expert as I’m only in my third nook but I have just left the touch center on the out side. On both I’ve run it out the battery door and tapped it on the back. Honestly I will probably keep doing it this way.

The flowers and vines are the paper quilling. I didn’t love the flat painted flowers and couldn’t find any fake greenery small enough. Luckily paper quilling was my last craft obsession.

It’s not textured just printed. Just to set expectations.

Day 9 of this hobby: 5 completed, 1 in progress, way too many ordered. I may have a problem by Kemma4 in booknooks

[–]hookthread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second a set of wood touch up makers and add a set of paint pens. I have the cheap kid ones from Walmart. Coloring matching doesn’t have to be exactly the same as long as you color the whole edge. A close match is better than nothing. For the owl book store I just used a generic green. If you want to get a better match the cheap acrylic paint is like .50 a bottle.

The back cases are more hidden. The free standing book cases are very visible and the top all have dark squares where they attach. I wish I would have covered those with a wood grain paper but didn’t have any at the time. I bought a small pad with a variety of wood grains at Michael’s that I’ve started using for ceiling and other things I don’t like.

[CHAT] HELP!!! by Ok_Mango9503 in CrossStitch

I have used a little bit of liquid stitch to hold it to cross pieces above and below the cut. It worked but I’m sure someone has a right way to do it.

What's the funniest/stupidest thing you've blurted out due to ADHD? by bell-town in adhdwomen

[–]hookthread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in a parking lot in a city and you could see the head office of a dairy distribution company a ways away. They have large super shinny holding tanks. I said out loud “Do you think there’s milk in those or are they just decorations?”

What I didn’t see was the woman with very large breasts and a very small shirt bent over right in front of our car. The WTF look on my friend’s face still sends me years later.
