Thank you so much! :blush::heart: I used a mixture of Speed-Sew and B-7000 glues! Speed-Sew on fabric on fabric, and then B-7000 for anything else! The Speed-Sew works super well!

The acrylic markers definitely make the thought of painting a whole build a little less daunting!

Some fancy equipment you got there. I used paint markerd for the first time today. I love it.

It’s a fabric glue! Dries really fast with a strong bond! Just dab some on the material you want to join with a Q-tip! Works great!

Hahahaha the bloody railing took me out and I needed 6 months to finish. :laughing:

But to be fair I really didn’t know any better. I wasn’t using the right glue and I also didn’t know how to straighten my wires so I think you’ll be fine! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I ended up sewing my chair with sewing machine to get nice even edges

Looks great so far @Atropex! Sometimes if im struggling with the wire I substitute it for toothpicks or skewers if possible. Wood is easier to glue. Love your art supply stash, they are so beautiful! I’ve never tried the markers, might have to give it a go :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I find B-7000 works really well for glueing wire! I haven’t felt the need to substitute for toothpicks yet! But we’ll see, thanks for the tip!
