CrafterOnWheels introduction

-

I am a disabled crafter who loves to make tumblers, candles, soaps and other crafts. This blog will discuss the process of creating these crafts, specifically where I need help and the parts that I can do by myself. I would like to give a special shout-out right here to my crafting buddy, who helps me create beautiful art.

I am constantly looking for new crafts and assistive technologies that help me to create, so I will also be discussing different options that I have found work for me. I know not all assistive technology works for everyone, so if I find a craft or an assistive technology that does not work for me, I will still pass it on because it may work for someone else. Or they might be able to adapt it in a different way that works for them.

I use voice activated technology, so sometimes there will be missed punctuation marks and grammar mistakes.Please know I do my best to catch them. I hope people find this blog informative and helpful. 

I am currently working with DVR to figure out the feasibility of turning something I love to do into an online business. So please come along with me on this journey into the unknown.

One final thing … I would like to give another special shout out to the two people that helped me set up this blog(you know who you are.)

Sincerely, CrafterOnWheels.

Tumbler cups CrafterOnWheels style

Hi, this is Crafter On Wheels back again! Today, we are going to talk about tumbler cups. My crafting buddy and I recently discovered tumbler cups with alcohol ink designs.  The first step in making alcohol ink tumblers is figuring out what cup size fits best on your cup spinner. Most types of cup spinners come with different sizes of foam pieces that fit inside the cup. You put the foam pieces on the spinner after they're inserted in the cup. The next step is to prep your tumbler cup, making sure you are doing everything in a well-ventilated area. Wipe down the cup with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and dry it with a paper towel. Then, once it is dry, put a base coat of paint on it. Some people use spray paint, but I use acrylic paint because I cannot spray paint in the house. Sometimes, when putting on the base coat, you might have to do two coats to cover the stainless steel. After the stainless steel is completely covered with the base coat of paint, you put epoxy on the ...

And update about my business adventure

Latest update.       I recently had a meeting with DVR and ODC, and we went over the business plan. The launch of my business has been delayed for 3 months so that I can learn some new crafting techniques. Hopefully, after the three month pause we can enter the implementation phase of the process which I will discuss in a future blog post.      As it stands right now, my business will feature sublimation items and knitted items. Part of my business will focus on disability awareness and advocacy, in the form of sublimation T-shirts, tumblers, and more to be determined. I also want to do disability awareness and pride events. Some of the items that I'm hoping to feature in the future is disability friendly jewelry. I have not yet done sublimation, so I am going to be meeting with my mentor, hopefully soon. When we meet up she can walk me through how to sublimate different items.       In the future, I do want to still have the soaps and c...
