I need some advice. I made this Red Hood helmet for fun using cardboard and pure scotch tape, and I want to improve it. I’m done with the structure and everything most likely, but I don’t know how to finish it. Is there any way to cover it and make the texture smoother? Paper mache? Plaster? I want to paint it red and use something over all the cardboard because of uneven-ish surfaces and gaps, but can’t figure out what would be best. Any ideas?

I also want to be able to cover the eye holes with something white, but still see through. Are there any materials that might work for that?

so I came home after the last month-ish of college, and found most of my succulents near-death. This is because my mother is great with plants that are NOT succulents, and believed that the succulents required the same type of care her plants did (chemical treatments and all). Naturally, she has lost plant-sitting privileges and will not be permitted visitation rights.

I do, however, have to bring my plants to school with me now (at the end of the summer). I would LOVE any ideas on how to build a easy-to-disassemble plant shelf for my babies that is able to fit in your average dorm room (maybe even our common room, should my suite mates agree).

Like how hard can it be right.....

Does anybody know if there’s a name for the hoops kinda like key rings that are flat on one side for crafting? Like they kinda look like a “D” I want to add ribbon to a shirt to “lace” up the sides and I need these things, but I don’t know what to call em.
