♥ Theatre Boxes

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies!

Today I just need to share these DIY kits with you. I’m addicted to them and definitely gonna get some more. I’m talking about Theatre boxes! I found out about these on this Chinese website called aliexpress.com (<< That’s actually a dangerous place for me as a crafter xD). I can spend hours on that site, so I often find cute things that I can use for crafting or, like these, craft kits!

At first I wasn’t sure if I should get them. The instructions seemed to be in Chinese. Usually that doesn’t bother me much, I just follow the pics xD (or if it are videos, just copy what they do xD). After a while of searching and over thinking if I should get them, I found out that there are kits with English instructions, well that makes it a lot easier! Specially if it comes to connecting the lights. Yes! There are lights in there as well! It makes it so much more magical!

Okay, so, if you get a kit like I bought, ‘Forest Rhapsody’ or ‘Snow Dream’, everything is included that you will need, except for the glue (But I saw some ppl online that had glue as well, it depends on the seller I guess). And in one of the packs were batteries and in the other there were not. Even backgrounds are included (those are in the last 2 pages of the instructions that are meant for cutting out). Sadly enough, I don’t have pictures of when the box has just been opened and not used.

With these kits you almost make everthing yourself. In the instructions they tell you exactly what you need for a particulair item and you glue that togehter. Sometimes you need to cut some pieces to the right lenght but that’s always stated. The instructions are very clear, just follow what they show.

I had a lot of fun making these, and definitely gonna get some more! They take some time to make tho. AND you totally should get some tweezers with a bent tip, it can be very fiddly! Most item are tiny, like really tiny to fit in the box. (the boxes are about 8 by 14 cm).

Here you can find the ones I got:
Forest Rhapsody
Snow Dream

I hope I got you a new addiction as well *evil laugh*.

♥ Crochet! How small can you go?!

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies!

How are you all doing?! This week I decided to challenge myself, crochet something as small as I could go! I always love to make small things. In school I always heard that I worked way to small haha, it’s just my thing, I guess.

On the internet I often saw people crochet these tiny plushes. Always amazed by them and wondered how that was possible. Never thought of making one myself… until now. I thought why not try it, I can always quit! xD So, I grabbed my embroidery floss (I was cleaning it out anyway), devided it into 3 parts (so 2 threads in a bundle), and just go. I used a 0,9mm hook.

At the beginning I was like.. HOW do you do this >_< annoyed a bit, but I kept trying. I just don’t give up easily! And after a while of trying and doing my best to make it look like crochet xD, it actually started to get like normal crochet.. only small! It wasn’t so hard at all, easier as I could ever imagine! In the end I enjoyed crocheting so tiny. Can you imagine that?! haha.

I made a dragon from my own pattern (Which I will not share, I’m sorry!) And it’s just 4cm in length! I love it! I made the eyes from a bit of UV resin and black paint, then glued it on. In case you were wondering! I hope you can see in the pictures how tiny it is!

I made 2 other dragons to compare: for the big one I used Royal Acrylic yarn from the Zeeman (100g, 241m), made with a 3,5mm hook, it’s about 12cm in length. For the middle one I used Supersoft Acrylic yarn also from the zeeman (50gr, 199m), with a 2mm hook, it’s about 8cm in length.

I think, I’m addicted to crocheting small now… xD I wanna make so many more! I might try to go a bit smaller and use sewing thread with a 0,75mm hook. Let’s start another Ufufy! haha. I will keep you updated on my instagram and probably make a blog post about it, when I made plenty.

NOW I challenge you as well! How small can you go?! Tag me on instagram/twitter/vero if you tried! love to see if you could do it too!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Love
Daniëlle
