What Barbies should I buy to model my handmade Prince protege inspired outfits?

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Luxecashmere asked:

I love sewing clothes of my own design for Barbie. I get inspired by Prince and his proteges alot. I’m looking for Barbies that have a similar look to them.
I’m sure this sounds odd to some people but if you’ve ever redressed dolls for display then you probably want a certain type to model a certain outfit.

Why is my handmade soap separating in the mold even after 48 hours?

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

Myriam G asked:

The soap has been setting for 48 hours but has “layers”. The bottom is pretty solid but the top is gel-like, really thick. Should I let it sit for longer or just incorporate it into the rebatching?

What kind of glue should I use for handmade barrettes?

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Aston C asked:

I’m making barrettes with grossgrain ribbon and I’m trying to figure out what kind of glue to use. Would regular glue gun glue work? It seems to just get rubbery and come apart.
Thanks!
I’m gluing grossgrain ribbon to metal alligator hair clips.

How much would you pay for a handmade baby blanket?

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

befuddled asked:

I crochet baby blankets and I am thinking about trying to sell them online. How much would you be willing to pay for a handmade item such as this? I’m pretty talented and can do a wide variety of patterns, many that I have made up myself. I have sold many of my blankets in the past, some baby size and some queen size. They have sold for anywhere from $10.00 to $50.00. What do you think?

How important is product liability insurance for people who sell handmade bath/body items?

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Karen asked:

I’m thinking about selling my handmade bath/body items on eBay and have been told by a few people that I should have product liability insurance in case some sue-happy person gets a rash or something. I clearly label my items with ingredients and warnings, but I am afraid this could potentially happen.
