...See more Arts  & Crafts Community  Posting Guidelines 2024 Hey everyone! it's great to see so many of you posting your artwork, I love seeing it all, but recently we have had a few that include a tagline or other identifying information which I have had to edit out.  I thought it might help to have a few guidelines posted here so that you can all read and see what is acceptable. Please read the following as posts that do not adhere will be edited or removed. ✅ Please ensure you edit out all identifying names, taglines, or social media addresses (even if abbreviated).  ✅ Please try and keep all your work in one thread rather than starting a new one each time. This will mean that all the hearts will accumulate and help to boost the post's featured position, It also means that every time you post to your thread each person that has already replied will receive a notification that you have added something new. ✅ Please make sure your work is not posted to other sites where you may be identified. For our safety, we must all remain anonymous at 7 Cups, and reverse image search is so easy these days! To stay anonymous you may need to choose pieces that you have not already posted or featured on any other site. Or create content just for us! ✅ Please make sure your work is acceptable to the 7 Cups guidelines and rules:- ❌ No sexual pictures, uncovered shoulders, bikini, bare chest pictures etc.  ❌ No pictures of smoking, drugs or alcohol, or guns, knives, violence etc. Please note that adding a 'Trigger Warning' or [TW] does not make any content acceptable.

...See more Hello I’d like to share my passion of origami and connect with other folders around the world here on 7 cups. I’d like to inspire others to give origami a try! I recommend YouTube videos and finding books and learning from diagrams.  ------------------------- A little about my username:  ------------------------- If you were wondering what my wish was it was health related centered around my mental health journey back in 2017. Fun fact I folded 1000 cranes twice actually the second time being during quarantine 2020 for a friend who had jaw surgery. If you wondered how long it took me around 4 months to complete. I also used a kit where the paper came with it.  ------------------------- p.s. if you got this far in my post thank you and most importantly Have Fun Folding :)

Add some sparkle to your day with this simple craft?
by EmotionsListener
Last post
 August 10th
...See more So, this is a fairly simple craft that only takes a few items but can be lots of fun, and doesn't require a lot of special skills either! It’s like painted rocks in a new and shiny way. (image consists of a glass bead craft with silver stars set over blue and purple glitter) Materials: * Clear flat glass beads of any size * Nail polish or paint in your choice of colour(s) (I like glitter nail polish) * Clear nail polish or sealant * Glitter & confetti (optional) * Pens or markers that work on glass (optional) (image consists of clear flat glass beads and assorted colours of nail polish) Instructions: * So the process is simple, first wash and dry your flat glass beads then lay them so that the flat side is facing up, this will be the side you paint/decorate.  * If you are using pens or markers to add to your design, draw these on the flat backing, note the final project will be flipped so any writing will need to be reversed. * Then, if you are using a loose glitter or confetti, paint a thin layer of clear nail polish and sprinkle or lay the glitter/confetti into this layer. Allow the nail polish to dry completely before moving to the next step. (If larger pieces of confetti are used  you may need to add a second coat of clear nail polish before moving on in order to keep it secure and prevent other colours from seeping  under the confetti.) * Next you will take your main colour of paint or nail polish and paint a thin layer on the flat side of the glass bead. This is very important: Always allow it to dry completely between layers, not just to the touch. You may need to add multiple coats to achieve the intensity of colour you want.. * Finally add a layer of clear nail polish or sealant and leave it to dry overnight. Flip over your new “gems” and admire your work!   (image consists of a dish with finished glass bead crafts in various colours) Things to remember: * If you don’t allow enough time between layers to dry or apply too thick a layer of paint the paint can become gummy and easily marked/dented, and ultimately be left with a mess. * If the final layer of nail polish or sealant is sticky even after drying you may want to add a layer of felt to the bottom to protect other surfaces from transfer. * Even if some of your gems didn’t turnout, you can always use some nail polish remover before sealing and try again! So will you be making some gems to add a bit of sparkle to your day? Maybe you have a pet rock who could use a glassy friend? Share yours with us!

DIy Bird-bath from Elephant-ear plant
by WorkingitThrough2
Last post
 December 30th, 2023
...See more Elephant ear Plant made into the concrete bird bath.   This is what it looked like before I painted it. The green is the elephant ear leaf. When the concrete hardens, the veins and all the imprints of the leaf are left in the concrete. I left a small hole where the stem of the elephant ear stem was to run a tube into it and hid the pump behind it. The birds love it❤️
