Open Question: What to do with green velvety looking fabric? and more... Open Question: What to do with green velvety looking fabric?I bought this green velvety looking fabric as a spur of the moment thing (I just bought a sewing machine yesterday, and wal-mart only had those bins of scraps out) and decided to get this green velvety material along with some others. I have no idea what to do with it, and am a beginner sewer. It's large enough to make a rectangular cape. Open Question: How to make a flexible stemmed table lamp?Hi, I want to make a cute table lamp however all the instructions I can find involve using one of those thick lamp rods. What I want to make is a little different. I want to create a lamp which is purely a light bulb suspended by wire. What I have in mind looks sort of like this: http://www.illumsbolighus.dk/10000/27826… Obviously I'm not expecting to create something as nice, but a light bulb that is suspended in this sort of manner. I was thinking if I bought a lamp base and, if I can find one, a lamp socket already connected to a cord (like a hanging lamp yet with a wall plug) and some strong yet bendable wire this would be manageable. Would it be safe to attach a wire from the base of my lamp to the bulb socket and simply wrap the cord around (as it appears in the picture)? If so, how is best to do this? If not, what is an alternative method? Furthermore, what parts would I need to secure the lamp cord through the base considering I am not using the regular lamp rod with washer and screw. Thanks in advance for any advice! Open Question: I PLACED AN ORDER A FEW WEEKS AGO...HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM PCH?Open Question: Where can I replace the caster wheels on my cheap rolling chair?I got a cheap office chair for free that was missing two caster wheels (it has 5 legs). I removed one of the wheels to measure it. The wheel uses a ring-stem type of connection. The measurements for the stem are: Diameter: 3/8" Length (exposed): 1" Wheel Diameter: slightly less than 2" Could I find replacement wheels at an OfficeMax or Office Depot? I'll be using the chair on wood floors and/or carpet, so I may replace all 5, but if they come individually or in sets of 2, I'd prefer that. -Thanks! Open Question: What to use to cover/protect carpet in room?I am moving into a new home, and plan to use one of the bedrooms as a room for my chinchillas. The problem is that the room is carpeted, and I don't want the new carpet to become soiled and filled with fur. I wish I had hardwood or tile floos in that room, but it's not an option. What can I put over the carpet as a semi-permanent solution? I was thinking like those plastic mats that go under a computer desk, but I need something bigger. I do have an extra roll of leftover vinyl flooring in the basement. Is there any way I could use that? Open Question: How can I build a wooden shed that looks old?I want to build a shed to use in a short film. It doesn't have to actually function as a shed, just look like one. But it needs to look old. And wouldn't you know it....I have a limited budget. I don't mind dipping into my pockets, but anything more than a couple hundred dollars for this shed would be too much. Would love to do it for less. I've tried finding an actual shed, but I can't find one that fits what I'm picturing in my mind. What's an easy, affordable way to build something that can resemble a shed, and to make it look old? Here's the closest image online I could find that's along the same lines http://www.docburkhardt.com/images/old_shed1.jpg although I'm thinking much smaller...standing room for two people and some tools, and I can get away with only building two walls and the door, since that's all that will show on camera. All the information on building sheds is about fixing them up or building them so they look nice. I can't find information on building one to look like it's on it's last legs. More Recent Articles
