Uhh, Honey...i used your [insert object]

What a great thread! I haven't used much to make props out of, just the kitchen utensils and bowls etc to use for mixing and molding stuff in. It's at the point if I ask for any of her kitchen stuff she holds it away from me and asks "will I get it back?"
 
There you go, giving me ideas to get myself in trouble with. :love

haha, to be fair, we had recently gotten a new one as a wedding present, and I got permission first! I need to start scouring some thrift stores for more old ovens so I can make a bigger one eventually.

Long before this, I ruined several of our kitchen knives while carving foam bricks into shape. They live in my toolbox now.

yes people eat with curved knives at our house too...we blame the kids
 
I use her make up on busts. That powder stuff really helps cut down on the shine sometimes...Plus there's always the need to add a bit more color here and there..


Okay - i gotta say. "Mold de-bubble-ator" has to be the funniest thing I've read in years.. :lol:lol:lol
 
I always used to be taking the tops off bottles in the medicine and kitchen cabinets for dials and so forth. Made my wife nuts. I have also sawed PVC with steak knives...
 
lol. I actually end up putting my meds in zip lock bags as i use the lids for holding parts upright while i paint them.
 
Oh my, the list would be too long. But offhand :


Make-up blusher brush for all sorts of brushing (wood, resin, clay, plaster etc)

Kitchen scales used for all sorts of things.

Countless cutlery mysteriously vanished, especially teaspoons for mixing.

Too many small plates to count, for mixing various materials.

Kids' plastic cups for mixing whatever.

Scissors .... let's not go there :lol

The worst one must be the hand-held food mixer which I used for mixing paint .... "I swear honey, I thought it would come off !"

Toothbrushes vanish peridically .... various usage

Clothes pegs .... at least 100 over the years :lol (handy buggers for holding things in place)

Needles, thread, thimbles, etc. I LOVE her sewing box !

Nail files ... VERY sturdy for sanding awkward bits, right shape :lol


That's offhand.

Wow, and I'm still alive !

My wife has mysteriously lost the following objects:

1 hiardryer
4 nail files -Alancastillo is right, they are great!
2 curling irons
1 ironing table
1 pair of her favorite fabric sissors - that one really hurt
1 pair of nylons - don't ask
1 Bra-strap - needed for my boba costume
& 1 complete 900 square foot basement, she told me I could have a corner, but I spread like the flu and took it over completely. She will never forgive me.
 
My mother is wondering where a several of her sewing needles went. They're currently sitting in my closet along with an unfinished Assassin's Creed hood along with a roll or 2 of string she unknowingly donated to the cause.:angel

But DANG! You guys are masters! I need to step it up!:lol
 
I guess my mom gets lucky in our household, because my dad has so many more interesting things to play with... off the top of my head, things that have "vanished" from his workroom include:
- More sample cans of paint colors than I can count (we moved last year and I had a field day, raiding all the the test colors)
- A few rolls of electrical tape
- Plastic sheets from his model kits (they make nice goggle and visor lenses)

Nailpolish remover (acetone) and hairdryers also have a tendency to go 'missing' in my house too... as well as usuallu at least half the box of tea bags, every time a new one comes home from the grocery store. Oh and coffee grounds too :)

Ok, So I used my wife's yoga matt for EOD (hurtlocker) suits. She was upset, but, doesn't do much yoga.
Now I used her Chandon Champagne bucket for an Avatar mask, she does drink champagne. I might be in some trouble.
Anyone else want to fess up...

Ahh, no, I haven't used anything of your wife's...


Still, a fun thread! I have grabbed more than a few items out of the kitchen or bathroom, but usually just say what I am using it for and why. If spotted, that is.
:angel
 
Lots of tupperware....though my girlfriend did offer me her old razor for my my jedi comlink.....does that count?
 
Worst one for me was the metal filter out of the coffee perculator to create a grill for a dummy speaker, it was an exact size match for what I needed. But yeah... clothes pegs, nail files and tupperware all disappear.

I used a pair of those pink kitchenaid scissors to cut fiberglass mat. They are sharp and work wonders! She has a new pair now.

This damn dirt devil kurve is staring me in the face just begging to become something else.
 
Constantly stealing her nail files, used the cap from one of those expensive art markers for the "bullet" on my Sonic Screwdriver, and I'm still not sure if she's ever forgiven me for the time I wore the bottom of one of her bathing suits as the trunks for my Batman costume.
 
the only thing of my girlfriend's that ive destroyed whilst propmaking was a pair of cuticle scissors that i used to beat the hell outta a CO Tennant Screwdriver, to turn it into the 11th hour screwdriver.

in fairness, it came out beautifully. lols.
