Assembling

By the use of sewing pins, you can position all of your parts first to see if you like it. When you are happy,  you can sew it on. I recomment you doing so.

First, cut of 14 pieces of white yarn, about 7 cm. (You’ll gonna cut them shorter later, so it doesn’t come very close). Those pieces of yarn we are gonna add to the sides of little foxy’s face, around the edge of the white. This with be fluffy. Add 7 on each side, 3 front, 4 behind those, if you don’t know how to do this, look at the pictures, you basicly tie a knot.
unraffle the pieces of yarn with a needle, and if you want you can brush it a little more to get even more fluff.
Now it needs to be trimmed, cut it a little longer as you want them, you’ll probably loose lengthe if you shape them. And cut those in the shape you like.

Time to add his arms and legs, sew those on, but make sure there’s enough space to sew his belly on as well.
On his backside, his tail will be added. Just play around until you like how he looks.
Last add his ears, slightly curved, just above his fluffy white cheeks.
From the black felt, cut his little nose and mouth, and glue those on.

And he is already finished! What do you think?! Liked this cute little foxy pattern? I just love designing small things, I’d probably can go smaller, hmm, but that’s for another time!

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Cosy Bookmark

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Since these days are getting colder, I love to burry myself into a pile of blankets, put on some candles and just read a good book. Most people probably wanna do so, just relaxing. So that’s why I came up with this cute bookmark, we can never have enough, right?!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ This Template.
♥ Scrapbooking paper in color/patterns of choise.
♥ Pencil.
♥ Eraser.
♥ Scissors or X-Acto Knive & Cutting Board.
♥ Glue.
♥ Fineliner.
♥ Printer (optional, you can trace the pattern from your screen as well).

DIY

Print out (or trace) the template from here and cut all parts those out.

Trace all these parts to the paper of choise. All parts are suppose to be cut out only once, except for the heart, you can make as many as you desire. I’ve done 5 hearts. When you are done tracing, cut them all out.

When you’ve done all that, you can glue everything together, I always make an arrangement first to see what I like, and then glue it together.

This step is optional, but a cute addition, write a word of choise on the cup. I chose for ‘Relax’, but it can be anyhting or nothing at all.

And it’s finished already, although you could laminate it for extra protection. I didn’t since, if this one is ugly, I can make a new one xD.

Have a wonderful day~.

♥ Clay Chip and Dale Pumpkin TsumTsum

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! A friend brought those adorable Halloween Tsum Tsum of 2019 to my attention. And I immediately thought I have to make those somehow, but I already knew then, I can’t make them all. *sadly enough*. Chip and Dale got my attention mainly, where they are little pumpkins, so cute! I was dubbing if I would make Amigurumi’s or make them another way. Then I saw the Air Dry Clay I recently bought, and thought, that’s it, I’ll be making them out of clay! I struggled to get nice pictures tho, *sigh, how to you photograph this?! Oh well, I hope you will get what I mean. Let’s do this~.

Chip And Dale Pumpkin Tsum Tsum halloween 2019

For this DIY you’ll need;
♥ Air Dry Clay or Polymer Clay. (It’s up to you for what you prefer).
♥ X-acto Knive.
♥ Clay Tools. (If you prefer).
♥ Water. (In case you use Air Dry Clay like me).
♥ Acrylic Paint. (To either paint the whole thing, if you don’t use colored clay or to paint details).
♥ Brush.

For this tutorial you can choose to use colored clay or just one base color like white. I used a combination of colored clay and painting on details. But you can also paint the whole thing at the end.

Tutorial

Take a bit of (Orange) clay for the body, make a ball and roll this out until you get a ‘pill’ shape. Flatten it a bit, so it doesn’t roll around all the time, and to create the belly.

At about 1/3 of the pill, make an indence, this is where the head seperates from the body. You won’t cut it of tho, just to define it.

On top of the body you will create a line as well, all the way to it’s butt. You will create two more lines on each half, nicely seperated. See the pictures to let this make more sense xD.

Now make 4 small, even, tiny balls for the feet. Place these around his belly (the flattened part) and place it back on a flat surface so the feet get a bit squized.

Take a tiny bit of (Yellow) clay for his snout.  Roll it in to a ball, and push it a bit flat on whatever surface you are working on, while doing so, also make it a bit more oval.

Place this on his face with some water and if you want you can smooth out the edges nicely.

Take another bit of (Green) clay and make it flat. With an X-acto knive, cute out a tiny leave for the tail. You can smooth out the edges a bit after you cutted it. When you are happy, place it where the tail should be.

Create a little pumpkin stem now, I used a bit darker green for this, this goes on top of his head.

For the ears, create a tiny snake out of green clay, flatten it so you have a long oval. Cut this in half, you have 2 ears now. Place these besides the stem.

Painting

To finish of Chip and Dale, paint on the details, the little veins on the tail and ears, and ofcourse his face. The difference between Chip and Dale are the eyes, and the nose, Dale’s nose is red.

To finish it of completely you can choose to varnish it, to seal in the paint and protect it from future damage.

I hope you liked this tutorial, I hope I did well. It’s always much more complicated to explane clay tutorials. I tried my hardest.

Have a wonderful day~

Assembling

By using sewing pins, you can position all parts before sewing them on. This way you can easily move them around until you are happy with how it looks.

Sew the ears on to of the head of the Bat and his belly to the body. His legs go right beside, slightly lower his belly. On His back you will sew his wings. Position them however you like.

If you want you can sew on a little mouth, I didn’t because I like it this way xD.

I hope you enjoyed this new bat pattern and let me know if you made it! I always love to see works that are made by you, using my patterns, I always feel so loved!

Have a wonderful day!

Love
