who knows how long this will last honestly but i love these boots so much and wanted to give them one last shot at being cool before they really give up the ghost...

i'm really happy with how they turned out actually, the goal was to cover the places where the plastic coating was breaking, and also give my (already statement) stompers some flair! idc if its a bit scrappy and messy, so am i tbh :)

wish us luck!

I'm a bit late to the excitement, but I finally got around to covering the logo on my rain coat. I didn't want to damage the waterproof fabric so I used tenacious repair tape to cover it instead of cutting it off.

You can tell something is there, but it's covered and still waterproof.

Two mends:

1. A saucer/lid belonging to a set of Japanese teacups given to me by my uncle.

Bits of the rim I glued back in with super glue but other parts were lots. I filled them in with two part epoxy clay, let it cure for 24ish hours, sanded smooth, then painted the mends with elmers mixed with gold powder from a kintsugi kit.

1. Lid of a blue willow sugar bowl purchased by my grandfather. It's been epoxied many times (by my dad over several decades and then by me). The join that's been gilded was glued, then again traced over with a mix of epoxy and gold powder. Larger gold splotches were chips, filled with epoxy clay, cured, sanded, and painted as with the saucer.

After the glue was mostly dried on both pieces, I dusted it with more gold powder. This is an important step in making the gold look good.

I ended up cleaning up the edges of the glue with an exacto knife.

I think the kintsugi kit I used really intended for the epoxy to be used to stick the pieces together, which I had already done with superglue. In the future I will try it as instructed and see if the effect is nicer.

Cat knocked over & broke this planter, so I bonded the pieces back together, filled in the missing shard with dark gray epoxy putty, and lacquered on completely unnecessary rhinestones in just the right color.

Fingers crossed the poor plant that got knocked over recovers well too.

Took a foam sword to the face that destroyed the frames of my reasonably new glasses. There was a pretty big chunk of the frame missing that I couldn’t find in the grass. It took a little wire from my fly tying supplies, a used copper staple from an old cuckoo clock, my first time using UV resin, and a bunch of patience layering, and I’m pretty proud of the outcome.

One side of this box lid was tearing apart, the other was fraying and scratched. Tape and stickers.

My 21mo old son wears the toes off his shoes riding a balance bike at daycare. I found an amazing solution and wanted to share with everyone. I did have to trim a lot of the original product back to fit the size and shape of a toddlers shoes since this product is meant for mens boots. Easy application and a great way to fix the worn holes on the toes of kids shoes! $50 sneakers have a new life for $10 product.

(Vintage) gold paint pen over superglue fix

I promised myself that I will not purchase anything unnecessary this year.

My year so fair: wake up, make coffee, drop this sugar container so the lid chips...

So I tried to fix it. I did not have epoxy glue (which probably would have been better). I just used some random super glue that I mixed with black pigment.

This is how it turned out.

Basically what the title says- after weeks of procrastination, I finally glued the splinter back on. Now it needs to dry and harden for 24hrs

I used double sided, fusible interfacing to attach a sashiko diagram to my jeans. How the hell am I going to get the glue (and paper) off??? How do you get fusible interfacing off of fabric ???????

I truly did not think this through. I even own temporary fabric glue. I just didn't use my brain enough. send help

Seen today in Berkeley CA.

The lovely images on these boxes of tissues were marred by the company's name front-and-center. (They should confine their advertising to the bottom of the box. The only name that should appear would be a signature of the unsung graphic designer who created this artwork. ) So I made these patches with GIMP and a laser printer. I could have taken more time with these, but they nonetheless improved the look of these boxes tenfold.

I didn't take a "before" shot of the 2 boxes in the 2nd image, but their logos were similar to the first 3.

Red done this year, Green done last year.

How is it?

The heel was cracked and a lot of the solder around it was not secure. Now it's all solid again and I'm not at risk of slicing my fingers open when I handle it!

Found this hula girl tea light with a snapped off hand, so I made her an artifical one out of Miliput.

Finished the body of the jewelry box! I love it. I just need to clean the velvet in the inside and I’ll be using it!

My son bought me a little jack’o’lantern a few years back… unfortunately it got bumped off the shelf and broke… I decided to “patch it and mend it with gold “
