looking for paint that will stick to leather

My eyeglasses have leather lacing woven through "chain link" side arms. The color has worn off, and I've been trying to touch it up with matching paint, which looks pretty good, but after a few days it peels off like rubber or plastic. What I used was acrylic craft paint (says on the bottle can be used on leather). What else could I try that won't peel or rub off?

Repairing scratched nickel or plated coating on bag buckle.

I bought a bag recently and the hardware used on two buckles were stratched. They seem to be made of some kind of alloy or nickel finish. Can anyone suggest some kind of paint or enamel,maybe something that is used in model building which could cover the stratches,as it is a brand new bag I would like to do a good job repairing it. Or would there be any covering available on the market in a hardware superstore. Thanks everyone for reading this post as it is very long. Karen.

canopies for craft sales

If anyone is doing craft sales/flea markets and using a canopy, I'd love to get some feedback on what you're using. A friend told me he purchased one at Costco; feedback on that item was less than enthusiastic. Costco and other big box stores sell things in the $100 range; most other options I've been finding are in the $1000 range. There's got to be something in the middle. I'd like something that has some flexibility: side walls when needed, for example. 10x10 to 10x20 would be ideal. I'm especially interested in knowing how your canopy has held up. My Other Half is quite concerned about durability. Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you.

Sewing Addicts, How Do You Organize Your Patterns?

I'm having a organizational dilemma, lol. I used to store my patterns in cardboard boxes but they just don't last like plastic ones. I can't find any perfectly sized boxes for my sewing patterns. I've tried Rubbermaid and Sterilite (sp?) containers in varying sizes and I haven't found the perfect ones yet. I've searched for storage boxes specifically made for patterns but can't seem to find any. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone , New to this board and have a question. I have purchased a box of about 500 Simply Nantuckets sewing patterns, I have searched all over ebay and off ebay for some information about pricing them or even the origional company and have had no luck. Does anyone know if this company is still in business or if these mostly 1995-1998 patterns could be in our out of print? I have found info on Simply Nantuckets Baskets but nothing on patterns. Appreciate any help Barbara

How do crafts sell for you on eBay?

I've been selling my handcrafted items on eBay for several years now. I did really well for a few years but I have noticed in the last 2 or 3 years nothing seems to move very fast. I'm beginning to question if it is even worth the trouble and headaches. With all the changes going on at this time- I think it is going to get even harder to sell anything. Bettye

Need Help locating an Eye Pin ?

Hi, I would love to attach an image but I do think I can on here. An 'eye pin' is what I think it is called, but not 100% sure. Imagine a circle mounted onto a circular 'cup' with a short pin coming out of the cup. To me it looks like an attachment to fit into a pre drilled hole in a bead. The actual item is quite small, maybe 5/16th total length, the circle has a hole in it of about 1/16th and the pin part is about 1/8th long. I was finding these is a $ store but they do not stick them any more. The only ones I can find on Ebay are sterling silver or gold, but the ones I am looking for are just plain metal. Any help would be much appreciated.R

I do have an Ebay store but I sell shoes so this is new to me. Any help would be great. Kim

Have searched and searched for this book. Please help

Okay ladies and gentlemen, I need some serious help here. I purchased a cross stitch book that I loved, which had a poinsettia bow door hanging and a table runner which had holly leaves and berries worked in nothing but backstitch/outline stitch on it. My problem? I have lost my copy and would like to be able to find it again. Yes I have already posted it twice on Want it Now but so far no one has responded over the last year. And I will be posting on there again for this book. Particulars on the book as I remember it. Soft cover, purchased in a craft store, cross stitch section Has a poinesttia Bow Door Hanger on front cover I think, but I know the pattern is definately in the book Also contains a table runner with a holly leaf and berry design worked in outline stitch or back stitch. They are both in the same book. If anyone has this book, would you please contact me and tell me the name of it and who it is by. It will be greatly appreciated. THANKS in advance.

hunting for hat backpack

Many years ago i bought a backpack pattern that looks like a golfing hat. I have found the back to the pattern but can find the triangles that make the top of the hat. It came in 2 sizes. does anyone have one that can help or sell me. I can't remember if i have the bill pattern piece either. i really would like to find the pattern again. It is not from the usual 3 pattern companies. It is from a different kind of pattern maker and they don't put out pattern books. But for the life of me can't remember the name of the company. thanks for any help you can give me.

So, What do you Sell, Supplies or Finished craft goods?

Most of us that lurk and post here love crafts - some more than one type of craft. In order for buyer to take advantage of the regular posters, why not post your regular ID and what you sell --just basic, like this--- Log in under your selling ID, and in the message, put what you sell (I sell handmade beads)(I sell quilt fabric) (I sell Childrens clothing) You get the idea. We did this over on the Miscellaneous Board, and it makes it very easy to buy from the regular board posters. In fact, eBay has anchored it to the top of the board! clair

Origami

Just wondering how many people are interested or looking for Origami type things in ebay. I love paper folding and making artistic creations. I have done many custom orders for weddings, birthdays, and even the 1st year "paper" anniversary. If you are interested in something, drop me a message. I'd be happy to help in any way possible. For the paper folders reading this, I have requested the possibility of creating a "neighborhood" for Origami enthusiasts. Well see if it will be accepted and then we can have a neighborhood community in ebay!

Info on ESPC

I keep reading posts on the ESPC and wondered why they are being allowed to scam people so I started digging. embroideryprotection-org is a front for Janice Blasko. This website is linked by same web server to sewing-org and purewhimsey.com. These are all fronts for TheAbbeygroup-org or abbeywebdesign-com which is based out of Maitland florida. email addresses being used to pull legal listings are whimsy@purewhimsy-com, info@sewing-org, and legal@embroideryprotection-org. The ESPC is NOT affliated with any of the BIG NAMES that are listed on its website. In fact after contacting ALL the BIG names, they have stated they do NOT know The ESPC, a Janice Blasko, The Abbey Group or anyone listed from the above groups. There is NO legal department at the ESPC, its all a FRONT. This organization is NOT registered with BBB or any goverment agency. If you have sent money to them, get your stuff together and start emailing them with complaints. If you received a letter. DONT PAY. Its a SCAM and people are falling for it to the tune of $300 a POP.

Help with Listing Buttons ? Have a Huge lot on cards ? Help

Hello: I have a large amout of buttons -- I am still counting - but I must have at least 1000 Cards ( 2 to 4 buttons per card ) - All are in very good condition - like new - never used I not not sure how old they are but most are plastic - a few wood and metal - Not vintage like glass or bakelite - Most are La Mode or Le Chic - Some say Made in W germany - Holland - Italy - Japan on the back. Here is my question - What is the best way to list them ? As one big lot ? Break them up into Color ? Size ? Shape ? ( Example list all the red in one lot ) Or sort them all out and put any duplicate buttons together (example - if I have 2 - 3 or 4 cards of the same button , for a total of 6 to 12 buttons ) - is it better to sell as seperate sets of same buttons? I do not do much sewing and just not sure if anyone would rather buy a small amount of say 6 to 12 buttons or buy a huge lot instead ? Any Ideas would be helpful.. Thank You

Pine Needle Basketry

I finally got in gear and took the class in pine needle basketry, something I've wanted to do for quite some time. A friend of mine teaches it and she's made some of the most exquisite baskets you've ever seen! I just needed to have the basic idea of how to start; now I can take it from there. Just what I need - another project! While we're in Florida, I need to find a good stand of long-needle pines where I can pick up the needles. I could use the shorter ones in Colorado, but they'd be a major PITA compared to using the nice long ones! You can really tell my first coaster is a "beginner's" project, but next time I'll know more what I'm doing. I just wanted to get the general idea of how to start. The center is a section of a black walnut, which is really a neat way to start baskets too!
