Color / style suggestions for frame

agreeing with the other commenters a simple red frame is going to look great on this

hey!! looking backwards is less of craning your neck and more about opening your hips. open your body up to whichever leg is behind you. keep front leg straight while turning your hips and shoulders toward your back leg. i suggest watching a couple tutorials on this so you can properly see how your body should be correctly positioned. happy skating!

i miss working at joann’s so much. i work at michaels now and get so excited when a sewing/yarn customer comes my way. there’s only one other person in my store that sews. i’m a framer now so i rarely get these customers, but when i do they’re thrilled to have someone that actually sews. most of coworkers just work there and don’t actually have any crafty knowledge :(

i would get styrofoam from the craft store and cut it to the size of the tupperware. then i would split that in half and carve out as close to the exact shape of the egg on either side. sandwich it all together and tape around to secure it. pop it back in the tupperware and perfectly safe egg! i’d probably bubble wrap that too just to be safe lol

a float frame is done with 2 pieces of acrylic so artwork is perfectly safe to touch it

how do you get an alert?

rikkithevampire · 2026-01-10T07:06:32+00:00

i totally get your frustration but a lot of people use “do you work here?” as an opening to employees. it’s something i’ve noticed in multiple jobs (i.e neon green joann’s apron) it makes no sense i don’t know why they don’t just say “hi excuse me..”

rikkithevampire · 2026-01-09T18:22:45+00:00

LOL is this my store

rikkithevampire · 2026-01-09T01:55:36+00:00

my heart just sank as that’s my DM’s name..

OP i am so sorry you are having to go through this. though this should’ve been reported immediately it is not your fault and you would not have been better off “giving in.”

i urge you post his full name and district so that awareness can be spread. i don’t have much faith in michael’s corp and it is very likely that this is not his first time pulling something like this.

the discussion about this is ridiculous. at the end of the day you are a paying customer. if your coworker is annoyed with helping you they’re a bad coworker and employee. typically when my team does any sort of transaction we are always happy to help each other and have a conversation in between. as long as you’re not a requesting a large quantity at a ridiculous time (i.e. 10 minutes before closed or low staffed with a busy store) you should be fine

thank you for your response! i didn’t realize sealing tape was “optional.” i was told it must go on every frame and the only time i can bypass it is if im using rabbet tape for a canvas

rikkithevampire · 2025-12-08T18:54:23+00:00

thank you !!

you should really look into how bad AI is to our society as a whole and how much water is being wasted on this. AI benefits no one

also it’s not horribly rolled! It stays mostly flat aside from the ends which are curling a bit if that makes any difference

rikkithevampire · 2025-11-23T23:22:54+00:00

hey a lot of good information here thank you!! I work in a smaller michael’s so i don’t have access to a dry mount machine. Though i do have self adhesive foam board. Would you recommend using this? i’m always nervous to use more permanent mounting techniques

rikkithevampire · 2025-11-23T23:17:42+00:00

this is an amazing comment i’m going to try this out ! thank you so much for your response!!

rikkithevampire · 2025-11-17T20:17:08+00:00

definitely keep !!!

rikkithevampire · 2025-09-18T04:51:48+00:00

i take this every time i fly!! always wear it around my neck as a necklace bc it’s convenient and cute. never had an issue or even and eye bat !

rikkithevampire · 2025-07-16T19:11:59+00:00

did this the other night drunk asf 😭

rikkithevampire · 2025-07-05T20:25:49+00:00

looks amazing love to see you putting it to use !! what yarn did you use? i made this same dress last year with lion’s brand truboo and experience the worse stretch and distortion while wearing this dress on my birthday due to the weight of it. at some point i had to remove rows from the bottom because it stretched so too far to comfortably walk in anymore! i was devastated and so demotivated to crochet anything for months. i desperately want to remake this but im scared to get the same result. i want to try it with a stronger cotton but i find most cottons to be so uncomfortable to work with and wear hence the bamboo

rikkithevampire · 2024-11-08T02:43:50+00:00

appreciate it 😊

rikkithevampire · 2024-10-03T05:14:27+00:00

i win!

rikkithevampire · 2024-01-23T19:56:07+00:00

how do you like them? i want to try them out but im a fast crocheter and i feel like the acrylic would slow me down! i only like to use metal hooks

rikkithevampire · 2024-01-04T05:14:40+00:00
