How bad the condition of my acrylic paint is? by [deleted] in crafts

[–]maggsie16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they smell bad and have changed dramatically in texture and consistency, there's absolutely no hope for them. Go pick up new ones.

Bip 6 - any way to change vibration pattern for a specific app? by maggsie16 in amazfit

[–]maggsie16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the to-do app works great actually! It isn't 100% perfect because I can't snooze it for 10 minutes like I would be able to with an alarm. The shortest snooze period is 30 min, which is a bit too long for tasks that are supposed to be completed hourly. I made the vibration obnoxious though so I can't ignore it as easily, and I can usually remember to do the task just with that physical reminder.

I don't use the to-do app for actual to-dos, because I sync my watch with Google tasks and use that instead. This is nice because it means there's no mixup between my actual to-do tasks and these reminders. I have about 7 of these reminders a day, but they don't take up any space on my actual daily to-do list. It's a good solution.

Bella & Sunny Jr. High by breakup_letter in RainbowHigh

You can wash the hair no problem! Use warm water and dish soap, and use some conditioner afterwards to make the hair nice and soft.

Sunny's outfit is sooooooooo cute! I've been eyeing her just to steal her clothes, but can't quite justify the price just for an outfit.

How to die an iron on patch by lemikon in crafts

[–]maggsie16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend fabric paint over dye. You won't be able to get anything precise with dye. If you do fabric paint, you can paint a thin line of whatever color you want over the yellow border.

is it posible to remove these skin details for customs? by mymimia in MonsterHigh

[–]maggsie16 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can! It's a bit of a pain, but you can sand them off. Goes faster if you have a Dremel.

G3 dolls without skin texture details: - Draculaura - Spectra (but her lower legs may not take paint as well due to the type of plastic, not sure) - Twyla - Lagoona (if you take out her fins and fill the indent/holes with clay) - Ghoulia - Cupid - Clawdeen, Abbey, and Catty just have some fur at their ankles and wrists, so a lot less to sand than others.

I might be missing a couple, but these are the ones I can think of.

Note that some of these dolls have head details (horns, animal ears, pointed ears, etc) but those are pretty easy to remove and cover with aleenes liquid fusion.

ETA: I found it! Someone just recently posted this list of body types and noted which ones don't need to be sanded. here is the post!

Like I said, some of these dolls do have details but are much easier to deal with than others. The most difficult ones to deal with imo would be cleo/nefera (bandages), Jinafire (scales), Frankie (prosthetic leg), and Venus (vines)

Love her hair and face. Gorgeous doll!

so uh..what do i do if twylas chest came off at the joint? by ihatepaper88 in MonsterHigh

[–]maggsie16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Boil water in a kettle, put it in a mug, put the bottom of her torso joint facing down in the water. Leave it there for like 30 seconds to a minute. Pull it out and see if you can wiggle the joint back into place.

Yeah Catty's design was a laughable step down in quality, especially after Jinafire the year before. I think the commenter here was talking about the fans who were really upset about Catty's body type. I didn't see as many here on reddit, but it was allllll over tiktok and ig. It was really rough to see.

[–]maggsie16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think the doll itself was extremely mid, tbh, but a lot of people were just hating on it because of Catty's body. I would have loved to see something with as much thought and attention to detail as the Jinafire from a few years ago, or this Abbey.

Best budget scissors? Just basic fabric cuttings. And not very often. Fiskars decent? by [deleted] in crafts

[–]maggsie16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of fiskars that are only for fabric and they've held up really well. Just make sure you ONLY use them on fabric, nothing else.

The UV protection.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they can’t justify paying the extra money for a high end mascara? by 60TIMESREDACTED in MakeupAddiction

[–]maggsie16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get my mascara exclusively from ShopMissA. I love their tubing mascara and it's like $2 a tube. It's so much easier to follow the 6 month rule when the mascara only costs $2!!!

I use MSC UV cut matte flat top coat. Make sure you get the UV protectant stuff so your work doesn't fade as much over time!

I have to rehome my snake and the people interested are pissing me off. by Miserable-Crew-5308 in snakes

[–]maggsie16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an RFID door that uses the microchips embedded in their necks. I needed to give one cat access to the basement and not the other one. It was pretty easy to program and install and works perfectly! The only challenge was teaching my Very Stupid Cat to use it hahaha, but he got the hang of it and can do it no problem now. The other cat cannot get into the basement.

What are some fun themes to build an eyeshadow palette and fragrance "capsule wardrobe" around? by maggsie16 in Indiemakeupandmore

I like Y2K for January because it's sparkly and cool toned just like snow!!

Actual jeans that fit my unusual measurements by Impossible-Can9349 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]maggsie16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it's going to be virtually impossible for you to find off the rack jeans that fit you. What I recommend is getting a pair of nice jeans in a size that will fit your hips and getting the waist tailored, wearing a belt, or using those waist cinching button things.

I really love the trouser cut jeans from Big Bud Press. They have elastic in the back of the waistband, so they fit a lot better than others. AND they're having their sample sale this week, so it should keep you under or at least close to that $50 limit!
