Hello, does anyone know what the woodgrain tabletop background is that so many people are using in their craft videos on you tube? Is it a vinyl? Here is what I am talking about......
Thanks!

Thanks for posting the link for her. I know some don't like that backdrop. I do! But I think it was Dina who gave a link where you can buy different backdrops. I don't know what its made of but it doesn't move like a paper tablecloth so I think it must have some substance to it. It looked real to me, but then my eyes are not all that great anymore! LOL
I think it's pretty, and looks real! Just not my first pick for a background, if items that are being worked with should stand out crisply and not compete with a pattern.

That makes sense. So far, though, I haven't watched any that clashed with it. I've seen it used by Dawn Griffith and Connie Stewart and a few others. I thought at first it was something Stampin Up gave their demos!
You're right, no clashing. It's lines of a backdrop drawing attention. I think no pattern works better for instructional videos. But it's no big deal, and wouldn't keep me from watching.
If apparently lots of SU demos are using it, it reminds me (in a good way!) of how dog breeds become popular in neighborhoods here... like someone gets a rescue grayhound, and their neighbor falls in love, and someone down the street... or there's the lab contingency... lol
Word of mouth, seeing something pretty... like when someone buys a crafty item and we say, "What's that and do I need it?" (Yes.)
Exactly! LOL Or Laura Bassen. I got so obsessed with a stamp set and corresponding but separate die set on an old video of hers, that I searched until I found them - one in Italy and one in Australia! Nice crafters destashing. : )
So while were discussing trendy, I have a question. I've seen several different ladies who wear long sleeve shirts that have thumbholes. Is this just trendy or does it serve a purpose? I'm thinking warmth for arthritis? If it helps arthritic hand pain, I would jump on that bandwagon.

Most of my running friends wear these when it's cold - keeps your sleeves from riding up as you run so that your arms stay warm.
In the climate I'm in you never see it because everyone is just boiling hot all the time. Although I should get my husband one because he always thinks the air conditioner is too cold

You can also get arthritis gloves that have fingers that only go a bit up the fingers. (Some go up much higher.) They often are a flat material, not thick or or fuzzy, so no fuzz in food or crafts. ; )
(This is a 2016 thread, but I didn't see the more recent one.) I forgot about a neat product by a company called PANYL until I just stumbled upon samples they had sent me. They make heavy duty vinyl furniture coverings (aka wraps) for certain Ikea pieces - tables, Alex, Billy bookcases, door fronts on Expedit or Kalax, etc.
*They also sell it by the foot - so can fit any table or desk top.*
There sell a variety of woods, several metals and many colors. I had an occasional client who wanted to paint a table or drawer fronts, and this was an alternative.
It's not cheap but it's very durable and you can color design pieces on line using your cursor - no advanced computer skills needed. For example, if you wanted an Alex drawer unit to have five different color drawer fronts, you'd tap on each drawer and pick each color. A rendition of the colors and price pop up.
