Hey Lovelies! It’s day 14 of Blogmas 2018 and it’s time for something cute! I am not sure if you saw them before, but I just had to make my own variation on it. I made a Pokeball snowglobe terrarium! I love how it turned out and the options are endless!
For this DIY you’ll need: ♥ Plastic Ball Ornament, 10cm. ♥ White Acryllic Paint. ♥ Cardboard. ♥ Black and White Foam. ♥ Small Pokemon that can fit in there, or make one. ♥ Fake Small Trees. ♥ Fake Snow. ♥ Anything else you can decorate with, Like stones, branches, moss, etc. ♥ Pliers where you can cut with. ♥ Glue. (crafters as wel as hot glue) ♥ Scissors. ♥ Brush.
DIY
First off, cut of the thing you normally hang the ornament with, with pliers.
Trace one of the parts on cardboard and cut this circle out. You wanna cut it slightly smaller so it will fit inside! but don’t put it inside yet. You can try if it fits in tho.
Now, paint the lower half of the ball white in the inside, paint the cardboard you just cutted, white as well. You might need several layers, just keep checking.
When everthing is fully dry, take your cardboard. On this you will make the scenery you want. Place trees, bushes, anything you like. There are no rules to do this, as long as you make sure the upper part of the ball ornament will fit over it. To make it a bit more christmassy, I glued red beads in one of the trees.
Last I put crafters glue where ever I wanted snow, and then dumped the snow over it. To prevent it from getting a huge mess. Make sure you have a sheet of paper or anything underneath, so that can catch all the loose snow that will fall off. xD Shake off the loose snow on the paper.
Now place the cardboard with your scenery in the lower part of the ball, the one you painted white. You can use a bit of glue to make it secure, but I didn’t have to do that.
Cut from black foam a stroke of 1cm by 32cm. And 1 large circle from black, about 2,5cm. From white you cut 2 smaller circles. Glue the 3 circles on top of each other. And glue this to the place you chopped of the thingy at the beginning, but onlyto the lower part of the ball, the upper half is still loose! So it’s nice and covered and stil be able to open the ball.
Now, the stroke of black foam you’ll glue around the ornament. Just like with the circles, glue it only to the lower part of the ball.
Last but not least, place in your pokemon. And place the upper part of the ball over everything.
Cut a ring, if you don’t have to place the ball on, of a toiletroll. Just to have something to stand on.
And you are finished! I hope you will have as much fun as I had while making this! so many options, I might make a few more xD. And don’t forget to show me yours with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or #DelinleaDIY
Hey Lovelies! It’s day 13 of Blogmas! Having fun so far?! Have you made anything yet?! For today I planned another felt ornament! It’s time for Jirachi! I kept him as he is, why cause he is already a star haha xD. Let’s do this.
For this DIY you’ll need: ♥ Felt in the colors Yellow, White and Blue. ♥ Sewing thread in matching colors to the felt. ♥ Sewing Needle. ♥ Trick Marker or anything else where you can copy the pattern with on to your felt. ♥ Pattern. ♥ Scissors. ♥ Stuffing. ♥ Fabric Glue. (optional) ♥ Acryllic Paint in Black, Red, White and Blue.(optional, you can use felt instead if you like)
DIY
First off all, download the pattern HERE! And print it out (or draw it from your screen). The good thing is, you can make it as big as you want! Then cut out all the pieces. On every piece is stated how many times you need to cut it out of felt.
Now cut out all the parts from felt. Part A, B, C, F and G out of Yellow. Part D and E from white felt and Part H out of Blue felt.
Place parts D on part A and B. Just like the pic has shown, you can either glue this on like I did, or sew it on.
Put these 2 parts on top of each other and sew them together with a blanket stitch. Start sewing the yellow part, stuff this. And then do the white part and before entirly closing, stuff the body as well.
Attach part C to the head now with either glue or sew it on. Do the same for parts H, F and G.
Don’t forget to give him a face! I used paint as usual, but you can use felt if you prefer! Do what feels right for you!
And he is finished already! Much easier as you would think right?! I hope you had fun and will make him too~. If you did, share it with me, #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or #DelinleaDIY.
Hey Lovelies! It’s day 12 of Blogmas 2018. And that means, we are half way through! Are you happy it’s going so fast, or do you want it to slow down?! For today’s DIY I wanted to make a stocking, even tho it doesn’t have those Christmassy colors, I think you will still like it. I actually wanted to do a charmander one, but I had no orange felt, so a Pikachu Stocking it is! But ofcourse you can change it to any pokemon you want! Have fun!
For this DIY you’ll need: ♥ Felt in the colors White, Yellow, Red andBlack. ♥ Sewing thread in matching colors to the felt. ♥ Sewing Needle. ♥ Trick Marker or anything else where you cancopy the pattern with onto your felt. ♥ Pattern. ♥ Scissors. ♥ Stuffing. ♥ Fabric Glue. (optional) ♥ Acryllic Paint in White. (optional) ♥ 15cm of white yarn.

First off all, download the pattern HERE! And print it out (or draw it from your screen). The good thing is, you can make it as big as you want! Then cut out all the pieces. On every piece is stated how many times you need to cut it out of felt.
Cut part A out of Yellow Felt, Part B and F out of White felt. Part C out of Red felt. Part D, E and the mouth out of Black felt. Optional: the white dot in the eye, you can either paint it on or cut it out of white felt.
Sew parts B to parts A with a running stitch, only the part that’s in the middle of the sock.
Glue or sew on the face of Pikachu, make sure you don’t forget the white dots in the eyes, with either paint or felt. The circles for his cheeks I trimmed down the edge.
Now it’s time to sew parts a together with a Blanket stitch. All around.
When you’ve done that, it’s time to glue or sew on part F to the sock. I placed it about half way. (see the pic) But later I thought it would look better to fold in 1 cm from the top. Its best to do that first, and then glue/sew it to the sock.
Last but not least, tie a knot in both end together in the piece of yarn, so you’ll get a loop. And glue this to the stocking.
And it’s done! See, you can make many variations on this! Go wild, get creative! Have fun! And don’t forget to share with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or #DelinleaDIY.
Hey Lovelies! The last challenge was 4 weeks, and we had to make something for HomeDeco! A pretty wide challenge you would think. But when you know what you are allowed to use, and what not, there is not much left anymore. Because we were only allowed to order Yarn.. was that also the only thing you were alowed to use. So, no stuffing, no glass, no stools, no lampshades etc. So all the fun things were not allowed, Great! I even asked if it really wasn’t allowed.. *sigh. Oh well, we should do it with what we have right?!
De laatste opdracht was 4 weken, en we mochten iets maken wat te maken had met HomeDeco! Een vrij ruime opdracht zou je denken. Maar als je bedacht wat we mochten gebruiken, en wat niet, bleef er niet zo heel veel meer over. Omdat we alleen garen mochten bestellen.. was dat ook het enige wat we mochten gebruiken. Dus, geen vulling, geen glas, geen krukjes, geen lampenkappen, enz. Dus alle leuke dingen waren niet toegestaan, great! Ik heb het nog nagevraagd of het echt niet mocht… *zucht. Ach ja, we moeten het doen met wat we hebben.
Because one of my ideas was to make a set of plants, but there you need stuffing for.. so, bye idea. I also thought about a carpet, but I know, I would not use that because of my cat. So, I ended up making a huge Blanket. I thought that was a good idea… but…
1 van mijn ideeën was om een planten set te maken, maar daar heb je vulling voor nodig, dus, doei idee. Ik had ook nog gedacht aan een vloerkleed, maar ik weet, dat ik die zelf nooit zou gebruiken vanwege mijn kat. Dus heb ik uiteidelijk gekozen om een mega woondeken te maken. Ik dacht dat dat een goed idee was… maar..
The first 2 weeks, I only designed 2 large squares. More.. I couldn’t do. I was done, no energy left at all and my body hurted so much. I was about to give up on this contest several times. What you don’t really see in the episodes is that this contest has really tight deadlines, where we have to come up with a plan, order yarn, make the item, block it if needed, write the pattern and make all the pictures. It is too much if you still have a life besides it. I felt often like I had no time to breath, and in my head it was often ‘No rest for the wicked’.
De eerste 2 weken, heb ik alleen 2 grote vierkanten ontworpen. Meer.. kon ik niet doen. Ik was op, geen energie meer en mijn lichaam deed overal pijn. Wat je niet echt ziet in de afleveringen is dat deze wedstrijd hele strakke deadlines heeft. In die tijd moet je een plan bedenken,garen bestellen, alles maken, blokken als nodig, patroon schrijven en de fotografie. Het is teveel als je daarnaar nog een normaal leven hebt. Ik had heel vaak het gevoel dat ik niet eens tijd had om te ademen. Er ging ook heel vaak door m’n hoofd, ‘No rest for the wicked’.
Anyway, My idea for the blanket was inspired by the theme Love Yourself, by BTS, A Korean pop group. It’s so important to love yourself, but there’s create such a ‘perfect image’ you need to have. That, when you are different, have an illeness or what so ever, we usually hide it. How can we love ourself then?! We need to be able to be ourself, Love Ourself, and it’s a must people get aware of that!
Anyway, mijn idee voor de woondeken was geïnspireerd op het thema Love Yourself bij BTS, een Koreaanse Pop Groep. Het is zo belangrijk om jezelf lief te hebben, maar er is zo’n perfect plaatje gecreëerd in de hedendaagse cultuur, dat, als je anders bent, ziek bent of iets anders, we het meestal verstoppen, hoe kun je dan jezelf lief hebben?! We moeten onszelf kunnen zijn, onszelf lief kunnen hebben, het is zo belangrijk dat mensen hier bewust van worden!
I love the colors I used, I was about to use white white, but I am glad I didn’t. This way, the look of it, it’s warmer, with the use of cream. It would be colors I would pick myself, but BTS also used it. So perfect match!
I love de kleuren die ik heb gebruikt. Ik had bijna wit wit gebruikt, maar ik ben zo blij dat ik dat niet gedaan heb! Met Cream, lijkt de deken warmer te ogen. En de rest van de kleuren zijn kleuren die ik zelf zou kiezen, Maar BTS had deze kleuren ook gebruikt. Dus perfecte match!
In the end I made my blanket of 180 by 150 cm in about 2weeks. It’s ridiculous, and I have no clue how I managed to get that done. But I did, it’s a miracle. (If something is in my head, I will make it that way, no matter what) I changed some parts up tho. Like where the hearts are, should have been flowers, and the hearts should be in the other 2 parts. And I also wanted to use BTS logo in there, but that didn’t look right, and became stripesxD.
Uiteindelijk heb ik een woondeken van 180 bij 150cm in ongeveer 2 weken gemaakt. Het is te gek voor woorden, en ik heb geen idee hoe ik dat gedaan heb. Maar ik heb het toch echt gedaan, het is een Miracle. (Als ik iets in mijn hoofd heb, krijg je het er niet meer uit, hoe dan ook, zal het gebeuren) Ik heb wel wat aanpassingen moeten maken. Zoals waar de harten nu zijn, daar hadden eigenlijk bloemen gemoeten en de harten in de andere 2 delen. En ik wou eigenlijk ook het logo van BTS er in verwerken, maar dat zag raar, en werden strepen xD.
Anyway I am happy with how it turned out, even though there are some flaws, that if I had more time, I could have done better. But who cares xD only me probably xD.
Ach ja, ik ben blij met hoe het eruit ziet, ook al zitten er wat foutjes in, dat, als ik meer tijd had gehad, beter had kunnen doen. Maar who cares, waarschijnlijk alleen ikzelf xD.
Here’s my blanket: Hier is mijn woondeken:
I hope you like what I created, even with knowing the story behind it now! Make this one for yourself, or for someone that deserves the love! Wrap yourself in it, keep yourself warm, that’s already a tiny thing you can do, on your way to love yourself.
Ik hoop dat je het mooi vindt wat ik gemaakt heb. Zelfs nu met het verhaal erachter! Maak deze deken voor jezelf of voor iemand waarvan jij vindt dat die wat liefde verdiend! Wikkel jezelf erin, hou jezelf warm. Dat is al een klein iets wat je kunt doen, op jou weg om van jezelf te houden.
I love you all! No matter how you look, what your gender is, how you indentify or not, have an illness and all the others things I forgot to write down. YOU ARE GOOD THE WAY YOU ARE, FEEL LOVED!!
Ik hou van jullie allemaal! Het maakt niet uit hoe je er uit ziet, wat je geslacht is, hoe je je indentificeer, ziek bent en alle andere dingen die ik heb vergeten op te schrijven. JE BENT GOED ZOALS JE BENT, VOEL JE GELIEFD!!

DIY
Eevee
First off all, download the pattern HERE! And print it out (or draw it from your screen). The good thing is, you can make it as big as you want! Then cut out all the pieces. On every piece is stated how many times you need to cut it out of felt.
Cut part A and D out of Brown felt, B and E out of Beige felt, F and H out of Red felt and G out of Green felt. Part C you can also cut out of dark Brown felt of you can paint it on like I did. For the eyes the same, depends on what look you are going for.
Sew parts A together with a Blanket stitch, this stitch you will use through this whole diy. Make sure you stuff the ears already when you have finished sewing those. Other wise you won’t be able to. And before entirely closing the head, stuff it as well.
Sew Parts B together as well, and don’t forget to stuff.Stitch of glue part A to part B.
Place part E on part D for the tail. You can stitch or glue this on, but you can also leave it as it is, and only sew the outer edges, while you sew the whole tail together. What you will be doing now.
Paint on the eyes, nose and mouth, and the inside of the ears if you chose paint. Or place the felt eyes, etc. now.
Time to make the box!!
Sew part F in the middle with the same stitch to each other. Do the same for part H. Then glue or stitch part G to parts F. Now place parts F on top of part H and sew these together.
Now you can put Eevee in the box, I used glue to do that!
And he’s already done! cute right?! Oh! And if you make him, don’t forget to share with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or DelinleaDIY.
