I WANT THIS

and more
and more and more
I want to make things and I wanna build on crafty skills
I WANT TO MAKE A CRAFT BUSINESS on the side and get better and better and then
maybe
one
day
I can stop working 11 hour retail shifts and instead work 11 hour crafting shifts
:vanora-celebrate:

Could this be an illness or could this be my moment?

Silliness aside, any of you use cricuts? Or silouett cameo is another one I heard of, but havent yet compared them.
the cricut maker 3 sounds like a blast to use.

The pens here are unrelated to cricut cause Im also wanting to learn how to make tiny clay confetti xD

@Ruby:
Hahaha the dream of running a craft business and making a ton of cool things
but also not becoming a hoarder with big excuses :vanora_xd:

Imagining the things I could make with just the cricut though! It would be way fun

@Jolly: oh we’re not supposed to become a craft hoarder? xD

You could make stickers of your art! :D

That reminds me, I got some holographic peel and stick mylar I still haven’t tried out yet xD gotta remember to actually pick something to make into holographic buttons lol

@Ruby:
The only thing is, it doesn't print color? So I'd need a regular printer before I could make actual stickers.
The kinds that print digital colors good are 'spency

I think that I should start planning projects before I drop money on the machine itself
:vanora_sweat:
I always worry getting new things that I'll just make one thing and then it sits there. That's why I haven't bought it yet..

@Jolly: yeah I know the struggle of looking into nice printers. Like at least $800 and then you have to worry about the ink prices x.x
Idk if its still an issue because I haven’t looked in a while but the nicest printer everyone was talking about no one could get ink for. There was some kind of shortage. So, you spend all that money on the printer and still can’t use it OTL

That being said, while not ideal since you can’t print whenever you want, getting them printed at a print shop is definitely an option and pretty affordable

@Ruby:
Yeah I havent looked into them in about a decade, so Im sure its way different now.
I'd probably want to have a full craft room before I get TOO many machines anyway ;; I dont really have a designated place even for a cricut I'd make it work. But then again, maybe printers aren't as huge as they used to be... for the good ones?

In any case I'm sure I could find a good print shop nearby :D
I haven't explored that yet here

@Jolly: the one I was talking about actually isn’t that much bigger than the cricut :D

@Jolly: look into the canon pixma series :3 amazing quality. Just, like I said, check ink availability first lol you don’t wanna be stuck with an $800 paper weight.
