VTES arts and crafts

So my old poolbox was getting beatup, broken corner, the little jyhad cardboard cutout looking sad and neglected, loose on top of my blood counters and whatnots....time for a new one.

So I rummaged through my various card holders and old vtes boxtops and over an hour or so of careful cutting and fitting into a new poolbox came up with the following;

and lurking at the inside bottom

So, what unique vtes arts and crafty thing can you share with us?

Here's another one; making a custom edge out of a pinback button.

I bought a number of vampire related buttons, and made an edge out of a few by removing the pin altogether. You will need a pair of pliers with built in wire cutters. See below.

There are 2 or more types of pinbacks. One wraps around the inside back lip and points back towards itself, probably easy to remove without cutting anything by just bending and popping it loose.

The bigger version's point leads back to a coiled spring, than underneath the pin backing to re-emerge and make a u shape clamp. More common on bigger buttons. This is the kind my smily fang face button had.



Cut just underneath the spring on the right. Than with the pliers grab the u clamp and carefully pull the remainder out. It should look like this now;

You now have a unique edge that wont rattle around noisily nor scratch any table surface.
