Assembling

Whenever I start assembling an Amigurumi, I use sewing pins first to put everything together. This way I can move all parts around easily until I am happy with how it looks. Then I will sew it on. I recommend you do so as well.

Before you start, sew the 2 parts, 1 Light Purple and 1 Pink, of the ears together, along the edge. Keep in mind that you make 2 mirrored ears, so the pink is able to face forward when you sew them to the body.

Start with sewing on Lumpy his trunk, just under the middle of his face. Next, position his ears and attach those well. Then sew on his legs and tail. With a few pieces of purple yarn you create some hair on top of his head.

And that’s it for this adorable Lumpy Tsum Tsum, I hope you had fun making it! If you did, make sure to show me on Twitter of Instagram with #DelinleaDIY, I’d love to see what you created with my patterns!

Have a wonderful day!

Love
Danielle

First put the collar around row 11, and sew it on. Next attach Scrump his legs to the body. After that’s on, you will sew on the hair and bow on top of its head.
Last you will make facial detail and the button on his belly from felt and/or yarn. You can do this in several ways, either flue those on or stitch it on. With a bit of pink soft pastel/make-up you can make it’s cheeks pink.

And that was it for todays blog! Scrump is done, did you have fun?! I hope you did, and if you made it, make sure to tag me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see your creations!

Have a wonderful day! And I’ll see you next week.

Danielle

♥ Booknook Part 1

Leave a Comment

Hey lovelies! I don’t know if you love reading or not at all? I personally love books, reading them, collecting them. I often get inspired by them and that brings me to today’s post. A while ago I got introduced to something called a “booknook”, or bookshelf insert. It’s just a little world inside a nook of your bookshelf. Ever since I saw one, I kept looking at videos of people who would make them. Everyone makes them how they want to, it’s really fun. You could make them inspired by books or movies, or just make something up yourself. So, today I will show you a bit of progress on my first ever booknook that I will make. I’m very excited already! It’s not really a tutorial what I will make here. But more like an explanation of what you could do. Be inspired and get creative yourself. This is gonna be fun! Ah, right, this will be part1, part2 will come next month, didn’t wanna rush.

Base of the booknook

First I started off with the base of the booknook, I used foamboard for it, since that was still lying around from school days. I’d better use it now. But you could also use wood or cardboard. Just what you have around. For the size, it is really up to what your plan is. That’s why I made a sketch first to see how much detail I wanted. Then I measured up a book to figure out the height and the depth.

The sizes I used for this booknook I am working on.

I used tape at first to put it together but then decided I wanted to glue one side, the back and the bottom together to have some sturdiness going on already. The other parts I wanted to keep loose so I could remove them while working on the inside.

The Inside

For the inside you could use any material you would like. Think of clay, miniature objects either made yourself or bought, foliage, wood, etc. Use anything you could think of to make the nook you want.

Since I wanna make a booknook based of “Helende Bladeren” by Claudia Boon. I went ahead and started with clay, as you can see in the pictures. Since I used light air dry clay, I had to deal with drying time. And that’s the main reason I’ve split up this blog post. I wanted to let all parts dry properly before continuing to paint etc.

So next month I will release part 2, hopefully I’ve a finished booknook to show to you. But I already know now, that I really wanna make more of them. Different themes though, just wanna have fun! I hope you get inspired by my work as well. If you do, don’t forget to tag me on Twitter or Instagram, I’d love to see what you create!

I hope you have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle

Let’s try to make this blog a bit more Spring like so we can enjoy it at least inside. With this adorable Sakura Mochi Winnie the Pooh Tsum Tsum. I chose to make this version with my Winnie the Pooh Tsum Tsum pattern that you can find here. The pattern for the leaf will be in this blog.

Sakura Mochi Winnie the Pooh Tsum Tsum made witht the Amigurumi Technique

Pattern Winnie the Pooh Sakura Mochi Tsum Tsum.

This pattern is made using continues rounds, use a stitch marker to mark the first st of each row. If worked differently, it’s stated with that part.

Use this pattern to make Winnie the Pooh. For the Yellow parts you use Light Pink and for the Red part you’ll use Darker Pink. The shawl that’s in the pattern, you’ll leave out. Assemble Pooh as written in that blog.

Next let’s make the leaf.

Leaf
Use the color Light Green.

1: Ch26, insert in second ch from hook, 24SC, 3SC in the next st, continue along the other side of the chain, 23SC, inc. [52]
2:5SC,2HDC, 17DC, 2DC in the next st, 3DC in the next st, 2DC in the next st, 17DC, 2HDC, 5SC, inc. [57]
3: (1SC, skip 1 st, 5HDC in the next st, skip 1 st) 14 times, 2SC, picot. [87]
Fasten off and leave a long tail.

Assembling

Of course you don’t have to assemble much now, since you already assembled Winnie the Pooh. All you have to do, is to add the leaf around his body. You can sew this on to Winnie the Pooh. Or, if you wanna be able to remove the leaf, use a bit of elastics in between the tip and the end of the leave and sew this on.
Don’t forget to cut some sakura blossom/petals out of felt and glue those on your Tsum. To really give those spring vibes.

Your Sakura Mochi tsum is done! Ofcourse you can do the same with other Tsum patterns, just switch out all the color to different shades of pink. It would look really fun to have multiple together. If you made some yourself as well, make sure to show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY, I’d love to see what you made with my pattern!

I hope you had fun and I wish you a wonderful day!

Love
Danielle

♥ Easter Shakers DIY

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s almost Easter time and I have barely done anything this year. While usually I have plenty of ideas that I wanna make/do. *Sigh not sure why actually. Maybe I’m just too tired still (and in pain, but let’s not talk about that). Anyway, let’s go to today’s tutorial! We are gonna make some Easter shakers, you can put them to decorate of as a little gift or just to play around with. It’s fun and I hope you will join me to make some.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Paper.
♥ Pencil/Marker.
♥ Printer. (optional)
♥ Sheet of clear plastic.
♥ Needle and Thread. (color of choice)
♥ Glitter, Sequins, etc. (to put inside)
♥ Glue.

DIY Easter Shakers

Start with drawing or printing out an egg shape on paper, make it as big as you want. This will be your guide. Trace this with pencil or a marker (test what works for you) on a sheet of clear plastic. Make sure you cut out 2 of the same shape.

Option 1, Easy

Prepare some glitter, sequins, etc, that you can put inside your egg. Set it aside and continue with the clear egg. Take your needle and thread color of choice and start sewing the 2 sheets of the egg together. Sew about 2-5mm from the edge, with a running stitch (a blanket stitch will work too). Try to make your stitches not too far apart from each other, or the glitter or other things will fall out. When you almost reached the end of sewing the 2 pieces together, about 2cm left, open this hole up and put the glitter you prepared inside, you might wanna make a funnel of paper to make this easier. Then continue to sew the opening close. Tie a knot in the yarn and with the left over yarn you can make a loop to be able to hang it.

Option 2, Harder

Trace the egg on green colored paper as well, I used 2 different shades of green but 1 is fine as well. Draw grass in those egg shapes and cut out. You can make as many layers as you like, use a bit of glue in between the layers to make it a bit easier. Now you can choose to glue some of the sequins/glitter to the grass already, or add those later, or do both, glue and add later like I did. Next, put the paper in between the two plastic egg shape sheets. Make sure to hold it in place well, maybe with the help of a clip. Now start sewing like I explained by option 1.

Wrap up

Now your fun egg shape shakers are done! I hope you will like them, I absolutely did and went ahead to make some different shapes as well. I love the clear and shaker effect of it. A bit more playful! If you had fun making some as well, make sure to show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY, I’d love to see what you made!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle
