Together with my boyfriend I've accumulated a ton of crafting tools over the past couple of years. My boyfriend handles all the woodworking, electronics and I just make things that look pretty but are in fact useless.
Sewing machine <3 It's a real old model that makes cracking noises and sparks when I turn it on and can't do any fancy stitches but it was cheap and does its job. Haven't made plushies in ages but I'd love to pick it up again because it's not really hard and I love plushies. Here are two I made:
Cutting plotter We make vector images, let the plotter cut out the shapes and either use them as stencils or for ironing.
This is the plotter, and the software is so crap that you really need to know what you're doing or everything could go wrong.
Stencils for sandblasted glasses:
Or T-shirts:
Button machine It makes 1inch buttons. Unfortunately it's not as multifunctional as the tools above but yeah. These were printed on beautiful metallic photo paper (ordered online), it's hard to see how they reflect in a photo but it's shiny and all. If Neocodex needs branded buttons, I can make them~
This is just part of what we made so far but because I know you like pictures and it takes so long to find the right ones and including them, I'l continue in some other entry.
If I can only do one thing you listed >.> I tried making buttons before, but the image is always lopsided or shifted slightly, causing many people's OCD to flare.
