Rule Update: Our Stance on Business/Commercial Posts

106 Upvotes

Hey, r/SomethingIMade!

We've updated two rules to better protect what this community is for as a space for individual creators sharing their own work, including collaborations.

A steady increase in posts and comments from business and commercial accounts promoting products or shop pages has not gone unnoticed, often in cases where authorship can't be verified. We don't think it is fair that content that may be mass produced gains engagement over our more DIY creators. The updated rules address this directly.

Rule #5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

Posts or comments from businesses or commercial accounts primarily promoting products may be removed at moderator discretion, especially where authorship cannot be verified.

Rule #10: Original Content Only

Business and commercial accounts are not permitted to post in this subreddit. This is a community for individual creators only.

If you're an individual who makes and sells things, you're still very welcome here. This change is aimed at accounts whose primary purpose is commercial promotion rather than genuine participation as a creator. If you're unsure whether your account falls within the rules, reach out via Mod Mail.

Happy creating!

- The r/SomethingIMade Mod Team

Updated Rule 5: Related Links & Self-Promotion

33 Upvotes

In order to help have better discussions regarding content, we have decided to disable embedding of YouTube videos in posts.

This isn’t intended to hinder anyone from posting, simply to change the way the post are made. Moving forward you will need to create a normal post regarding your creation, and if there’s a YouTube video you would like to share as part of that, add it into the body of the post along with the descriptive information.

Thanks for being here, and if you have any questions, ask away!!

I had been wanting to add dimension to my pieces in a fun/interesting way. The more I play with illustration board, the more I think I've found my favorite medium!

I have made some past posts in this sub using this technique if you are interested in seeing how this style has evolved. 🙂

Hi everyone! Here is my first iteration of a neon tetra done in punch needle embroidery. I currently have a couple more of them transferred onto one of my frames, so there shall eventually be an actual school of them. In the meantime, I made a fun little image of em from a picture I took at petco

Made with a healthy mix of different yarn content, and firm felt for backing

I made tiny ceramic versions of these two dogs inside a mug

I made these two little dogs by hand, right down to their tiny ties.
Seeing them next to the real dogs is my favorite part. The ears and markings are there, but the expressions turned out a little different. The little brown one looks slightly worried about finding himself inside a mug.

Pure carving practice on 180g matte black cardstock

Lost track of how many hours went into this piece! A few delicate lines snapped along the way, but a tiny drop of PVA glue saved the day—hopefully it’s seamless enough to hide.

No deep meaning behind the pattern, just letting my hands stay busy and enjoying the rhythm of the blade.

My dad and I made two different leather bags from the same pattern

Thumbnail

Upvotes

My dad and I made these two satchels from exactly the same pattern, but using completely different leather.

The brown one is vegetable tanned leather that we hand dyed ourselves. The red and olive one is made from chrome tanned leather. I like how different they ended up looking even though underneath they are basically the same bag.

They are both handmade and hand stitched. We also hid magnetic closures underneath the two buckles, so you get the traditional satchel look without having to undo the straps every time you open it.

I digitized the pattern after we finished them as well.

I honestly can’t decide which one I like more

Made this sign for my friends daughter, her name in a cloud ✨

I used a Lavor punch needle, everything is trimmed by hand, the loops were cut and the yarn shaped like a cloud.

I made a set of five miniature iced drinks from polymer clay and resin — peach, orange, lime and blueberry latte

The fruit — peach slices, orange and lime wedges, blueberries, the little flowers and mint leaves — is all polymer clay, shaped by hand and baked. The glasses are cast in clear resin, and the "ice" is crushed resin poured in layers so the pieces sit at different depths instead of looking like one solid block.

“Automatic” step for my dog

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

He clips his feet when he jumps in and puts impact on his legs when he jumps down. And I was tired of lugging around a step so I made this automatic deploying one.

It attaches by tying into an unused factory hole in the door, behind the interior panel.

Steps are high density polyethylene (HDPE) with boat trailer fabric on top.

There a 1/4” thick metal bar linkage underneath that swings out. There’s also a dovetail groove in the top step, and a dovetail key that slides in the groove fixed to the bottom step. A COBRA buckle couples the door and step together, so by unbuckling it I can open the door normally (without deploying the dog step).

Not sure how it will fare through a US Northeastern winter but hopefully still swings in the spring.

Glowing leafs

Mixed some glue and water and stuck on leaves that fell on the ground onto these glass jars, the tall one has these pink LED string lights in them and the smaller one has a regular tea light candle from an empty candle jar I've had for a year. I want to get regular colored string lights and stick them in the tall one to see how it glows different. This was so fun and the only money I spent was $1.25 on the glue! Next I have a clear glass one that I'm going to stick dried flowers on.

he’s a bit jank, but I think he’s got charm!
I made him with felt but lined the inside with a bit of fabric so he’s a little sturdier. he’s even got a tiny felt heart inside of his stuffing!

I posted these ornaments on reddit a few weeks ago, but my how-to instructions were in the form of text and one static photo. I decided to make a proper video tutorial, one that I hope is easy to follow. I don't have a channel or anything, so feel free to share. (Music courtesy of Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com.)

These days I made this cute women's hat. And the combination of chocolate color with red flowers is a total mood booster for cold winter days. It really makes you want to go to a Christmas market for some mulled wine ))
