6 augustus 2020 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Today I have a VERY cute pattern for you. I love sea slugs, that sounds maybe weird, but have you ever googled them?! So pretty and some are adorable, like the sea bunny. On that one is my pattern based today. I made this Strawberry Sea Bunny amigurumi! It’s so quick to make and way too cute to resist! I’ve made a Sea Bunny from fabric before, and I am clueless why I never made one from yarn. XD Oh well, it’s here now. Let’s see what you need for him.

For this Pattern you’ll need:
♥ Fluffy Yarn in White.
♥ Yarn in Light Green, Light Yellow and White. (I used Budgetyarn.com, a DK yarn)
♥ Safety Eyes, 1cm.
♥ Crochet Hook. (I used a 2,5mm hook for the DK yarn and a 4,5mm for the fluffy yarn)
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Stitch Markers.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Pink Marker. (Optional)

Stitches used (US Terms):
Magic Ring.
CH = Chain.
SLST = Slip Stitch.
SC = Single Crochet.
HDC = Half Double Crochet.
DC = Double Crochet.
Picot = 3Ch, Slst in the first st.

♥ Assembling

I always use sewing pins first to assemble my amigurumi’s, this way I can position all parts until I like how it looks. When I am happy, I’ll sew them on.

For the body I used a pink marker and colored the upper part lightly. You might wanna brush it out when it’s dry, to get back the soft fluffiness. To color it is of course optional, you can leave him white as well!
Then add the ears to your strawberry sea bunny, almost behind the eyes, but see what works for you. And Last sew on his tail as well.

That was it already for today’s pattern! I know fluffy yarn is quit tricky to use, but just practice a bit with it, you will get the hang of it. I hope you enjoyed making this Strawberry Sea Bunny, and if you did, make sure to show me on Twitter or Instagram, I’d love to see!

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

Obviously you are not finished with the shell yet, sew all the parts together as shown in the drawing below. When you have done that, Now you have to crochet around the edge with SC, but in the spots 2parts of the shell meet, you have to make a HDC. Also you have to make some DC where his ‘neck’ will be. Use the same drawing below to see what goes where.

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start sewing a Amigurumi together, I like to use sewing pins to position all parts first. This way I can move it easily around until I am happy with how it looks. After I will sew it on.

Easiest is to sew on his shell first. This way you know exactly where the flippers will go. The front flippers slightly in front of his shell and his back flippers where 2 parts of his shell meet. You can definitely do however you love it best, though. Then cut some eyes out of felt and glue those on. After I painted on the spots on his head with acrylic paint. (If you heat set the paint you can wash it as well). Last I made his mouth and eyebrows with some embroidery and he was already finished.

It took me forever to finish Squirt though, I have no clue why, probably procrastinating problems haha xD. But I love him now and I am glad Squirt is born. Another Tsum for my growing TsumTsum collection. xD. I hope you will make him as well and if you do, please show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY

I hope you had fun with this pattern today and I’ll see you next week.

2: Light Blue; 3SC, Light Purple, 3SC. [6]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

For the pink part I folded it in half to the inside and sewn it together, so the ear gets a bit more shape.

Use the color Beige.
This part will be a half circle shape. So the first 2 rows are continues and the last you turn your work.

Bow
Use the color Pink.

In a Magic Ring; (1SC, 1HDC, 2DC, 1HDC, 1SC) 2 times. [12]
Fasten off and wrap the tail a few times around the bow tightly, where the SC’s are. If you like how it looks, fasten off and leave the rest of the tail there for sewing.

♥ Assembling

Whenever I assemble Amigurumi’s I use sewing pins first to position all parts, this way I can easily move them around until I am happy with the result, then I will sew them on. I recommend you do it this way as well.

Position Eeyore his snout just above his belly, make sure to center it. Then sew it on, and when it was almost completely sewn on, I put a bit of stuffing under it. Just to give it a little bit more shape.
Then is time for his legs, make sure to face all the purple parts of the legs, towards his belly. Sew them on.
Position the ears, since I’ve sewn the pink part together already, I pulled the blue a bit more over it so it’s easier to sew on.
For his tail, sew it to his back. With some black yarn you can make the ‘nail’ if you like. On the tip of the tail add some brown fluffy yarn and stitch his bow on as well.
With some more brown fluffy yarn, make Eeyore his hair, I just went a few time back and forth on his head, until I thought he had enough hair.
Last but not least, create all his details, like his stitchmarks on his body, eyes, nose, etc.

And that was it, I hope you liked making Eeyore! I love him. If you made him as well, don’t forget to show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY.

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

Love

♥ Floral Dolphin Amigurumi

16 juli 2020 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I always struggle making things with a Summer theme. Maybe because I dislike Summer, but when I started to write down things that are Summery, there are quite some things I love. Like, all those beautiful flowers and plants, Dolphins, etc. So, I tried to combine flowers with a dolphin, a Floral Dolphin. Well, I sorta like how it turned out, but the tail without the bright, flowery, colors I probably like better. But you can be the judge and make your own version with your lovely color choices. Let’s go to the pattern, shall we?

For this Pattern you’ll need:
♥ Yarn in the colors; Blue and Red (I used a mix of DK yarns)
♥ Crochet Hook. (I used a 2,5mm)
♥ Safety Eyes, 9mm.
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Stitch Marker.

♥ Pattern Floral Dolphin

This pattern is made with continues rounds, unless stated otherwise. Use a stitch marker to mark your first/last stitch of your row.

Body
Start with the color Blue.

1: 6SC in a Magic Ring. [6]
2: 6SC. [6]
3: (1SC, inc) 3 times. [9]
4: (inc) 5 times, 4SC. [14]
5: (1SC, inc) 4 times, 6SC. [18]
6: (1SC, inc) 6 times, 6SC. [24]
7: 24SC. [24]
|
11: 24SC. [24]
Add the eyes between row 5-6.
12: (4SC, dec) 3 times, 6SC. [21]
13: (4SC, dec) 3 times, 3SC. [18]
14: 18SC. [18]
15: (1SC, dec) 6 times. [12]
16: 12SC. [12] Stuff the body
17: (2SC, dec) 3 times. [9]
18: 9SC. [9]
19: 9SC. [9]
Now make the end of the tail flat, horizontal, to see if your stitches line up the way the tail should line up with the body. You need to have 5 stitches on the bottom and 4 on top.

Tail Part1
Use the same color as the body or use some colorful, flowery colors.
This with be the bottom part of the tail, made on the 5 stitches, I talked about earlier.
This part won’t be made in continues rounds.

1: 5SC, turn. [5]
2: Inc, 3SC, inc, turn. [7]
3: Inc, 3SC, turn. [5]
4: 4SC, inc, turn. [6]
5: (4SC in the next st) 5 times, SlSt. [21]
As you noticed from row 3 on you don’t use all the stitches on the tail. That’s because the tail is split up in the middle. Repeat row 3 to 5 again from the outer stitch of the tail. (Just like the part you made already, just opposite). The middle stitch of row 2 is used for both sides of the tail, be aware of that.
Fasten off and weave in all the tails that might be there.

Tail Part2
Use the same color as the body or use some colorful, flowery colors.
This with be the upper part of the tail, made on the 4 stitches, I talked about earlier.
This part won’t be made in continues rounds.

1: 4SC, turn. [4]
2: 3SC in the next st, 1SC, turn.
3: 1SC, (4SC in the next st) 3 times. [13]
Same as with part1 of the tail, you need to repeat row 2 and 3 to complete the tail.
Fasten off and weave in any tails.

Fins (Make 3)
Use the color Blue,

1: 4SC in a Magic Ring. [4]
2: (1SC, inc) 2 times. [6]
3: (inc) 2 times, 2SC, (inc) 2 times. [10]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Flower
Use the color Red.

In a Magic Ring, crochet; (Ch2, 2DC, Ch2, 1SC) 5 times.
Pull tight and leave a long tail for sewing. Add a pearl or anything you would like in the middle of the flower.

♥ Assembling

For any amigurumi I’m gonna assemble, I use sewing pins first, This way I can move parts around until I am happy with the outcome, and then sew it on. I would recommend you do so as well!

For this amigurumi there is not much to assemble, just the back and side fins and the flower if you chose to make it. Add all these on where you think it’s cute.

And that was it for this floral dolphin! Obviously I chose this name because of the tail. I hope you enjoyed this cutie! If you decided to make this pattern, I would love to see it, so show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY.

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

♥ Crystal Sun Catchers DIY

9 juli 2020 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Whenever I see those stained glass sun catchers I am in love. Do you know what I mean? I hope you do. Forever ago, I saw sun catchers in the shape of crystals, and I always wanted to own them. I still haven’t been able to get them tho. But, why not make a DIY of it, with just simple materials, like cardboard and iridescent foil?! Why haven’t I thought of that sooner. Oh well, better late than never xD. Let’s explain to you how I made them.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Black Cardstock. (or a color you prefer)
♥ Iridescent Wrapping Foil or other see-through stuff.
♥ Pencil.
♥ Scissors.
♥ X-Acto Knife.
♥ Cutting Mat.
♥ Ruler.
♥ Glue.

♥ Crystal Sun Catchers DIY

Take your cardstock and double it, you need 2 of the same shape to make 1 sun catcher.

First you need to draw yourself some crystal shapes. This is not too hard, since crystals come in all shapes and sizes. So, make them however you like. If you find it difficult to make something up, google some crystal line art. I used a white pencil to make it easier to see on black paper.

I made my lines about 3mm thick. So I got a nice border.

You might wanna think of making a little extra bump where you wanna hang it from. So you can make a hole in there. Or you can skip this and poke a hole through the foil/border.

Cutting

Now cut the shape out, make sure the two layers of cardstock stay together in the same spot. You might wanna use some tape. I first did all the shapes on the inside. Use a x-acto knife and a ruler for nice clean lines. Last I did the outer lines to release the shape from the cardstock.

Foil

Take out your foil and place your shape on it to be able to cut the shape out roughly. Make sure to leave some border.

You needed two of the same shape to sandwich the foil in between. Now, glue the cardstock to the foil, make sure to line both sides up. Be careful with the glue, it’s not pretty when the glue is all over the foil. If the glue still get’s on the foil, if you used water based glue, you can remove it with a bit of water when it’s still wet. Let it dry thoroughly.

Last you can trim off the excess foil with scissors or an x-acto knife. If you wanna hang your crystal, poke a hole through the foil/border or if you made that little bump, make a hole in there.

And there you have it, your Crystal Sun Catchers with just simple materials. I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial! If you made them, don’t forget to share with me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY.

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

Love
Danielle
