hahaha nice one, mr. predictable!

Someone other than me or Nick is e-talking shit? Did everyone decide to stop being gay?

"submitting to my undenying wrath"

haha c'mon now Nick, we're not playing some fantasy RPG here! Quit the nerd talk, remove the cum from yr eyes...and THINK! Was I complimenting you, Sanjur0? Was I really? Sit in the corner and think about that for a while. Draw the blinds, draw some conclusions. You can do it Nick! I believe in you :thumb:

This was, or almost was, zeugma. Sweet.

I ordered in a 2 1/4" button maker, but just couldn't pay $40 for a circle cutter.

Anyone have any tips on how to make a 2 1/4" circle cutter? I've got some really basic plans, but I'm sure it won't work out as well as I'm imagining it.

best thing i could think of is take an x-acto knife and some sort of arm on a "turn table" think ofa way a record player works. if u make the arm stiff you'll get an exact cut everytime. How to make this...i dont know.

o and im going to make an upright bass in the spring, when i get done ill post pics.

$40 for circle cutter? that's ridiculous, it should come with the button maker. Then again, my button maker is pretty cheap all together.

fix an x-acto blade on a compass

The thing about compasses, though, is would't they leave a little dent in the middle of the image? Would it be visible when put together?

cut them out with your teeth. that is true diy panx

you don't need a circle cutter. just cut it out with scissors; as long as it's somewhat close to the line it won't matter, since the button maker wraps a certain margin of the paper circle around to the back of the button.

I've always had bad experiences with die cutters anyways - generally I'd say they're not worth the trouble.

Button maker should arrive on tuesday.

And I just found out today that my mom has a circle cutter. Problem solved. Thank god for scrapbooking moms.

I've got a bunch of designs ready to go.

I tried this on another punky wunky forum, and got screwed. But does anyone here want to make me some 1'' buttons for less than they charge on most websites?

Yeah paypal me 78 dollars

Alex I think I already told you this but my button maker only makes buttons that are an inch and a quarter.

However, since I'm home I now have a printer with ink and if that's not a problem I might be able to help. As long as my button maker isn't messing up like it was at school.

How many do you need?

My dad gave me a belt he bought used and then realized it didn't fit him. It didn't fit me either (one ridiculously small belt), so I took the buckle off and put it on an old bike inner tube.

Now I have [I]two[/I] belts.

I made these. I little crappy, but not bad for my first three tries, IMO. My camera has a knack for needing crappy lighting.

I need some ideas on what to do with fried marbles, craft-wise.

I'm doing a craft night at my work this month, and would like to do something with fried marbles, but can't think of anything to do with them.

Any ideas?

Or any ideas on other crafts I could do?
In the past I've done duct tape wallets, vinyl bowls, and vinyl clocks. Things that 12-17 year olds can/would want to do without too much trouble.

What the **** is a fried marble?

you heat up marbles in the oven for 20 minutes at 500f, and then drop them in ice cold water, and the insides crack but the outside still holds.

like that.

That just sounds really dangerous.

i was kinda skeptical about it at first, but i've never had one explode on me.

one time i found a couple shards at the bottom of the bowl when i went to pour the water out, but i hadn't even noticed that one had cracked apart.

what do you do with them though

That's what I'm asking for suggestions on. :)


Right now I just have a couple in the fishbowl, and then a couple in a decorative bowl in the living room.

Trying to think of applications for kids 12-17 that's more useful than "put them in a fishbowl"

Wrap some copper wire aroung them and make a tree type thing? Might not be useful, but if you did it well it might make a cool decoration.

you could put them in random people's mailboxes and they would be like 'hey look a cool little marble'

I like this one.

SUPERBUMP TO THE RESUCE!!!!!LOLZ!!11

Hey, i'm friends with the people who created DIY Punk Zine, a zine based in CT; i wrote a review of Zeke's new EP, Kings of the Highway. I also submitted my band, Don the Flaming Squirrel's, first album, "The Donut Album!" for review. [url]http://www.freewebs.com/dontheflamingsquirrel[/url]

Your links don't work.

A friend found a yellow shirt that wont fit her, but will fit me, so I'm going to put my bee stencil on it.

Unfortunately I think I brought my stencil back home, so I have to wait a few weeks to make it.

And today a friend and I tie-dyed with bleach and it turned out pretty sweet. I will be making more soon. Probably next weekend.

yay.

I made a fairly natty Black Flag patch, but I don't have any pics because I can't figure out digital cameras...

Natty is an adjective?

Lately I've been doing a fair bit of diy stuff for a project I'm working on.

Making buttons, working on some stencils, carving stamps, etc.

Saving us a bunch of money. :)

here's the wallet i made a little while ago. just carries my basics (id, debit card, a couple bills), but i like it.

That's pretty neat, actually? Does it function easily?

it's a little flimsy, but i'm used to it now.

really it's for looks more than functionality, but it's like 1/4 of the size of my actual wallet, so it's nice to not be lugging around random business cards/gift cards/change/whatever else is in my wallet every now and then.

super easy to make, too. just unscrew it, use wire cutters to cut out anything in the way, tie it together (or use an elastic band), done.

[QUOTE=Crack-Rock-Steady;16014621]Natty is an adjective?[/QUOTE]

Yes it is an adjective.

okay this is something kind of offbeat however can anyone think of any ideas on how to make something when thrown at a person or the ground, the thing would cover someone in glitter... I checked google and stuff with no turn out aside pop a balloon over someoenes head it needs to be thrown.

lets get funkier, how about homemade tattoos
