♥ Day 5; Pichu Felt Ornament

Leave a Comment

Hey lovelies! Day 5 is here and time for a new DIY! The 3rd ornament for Blogmas is here. And a bunch more will come, I’m hoping you’ll be happy with that! ^^
Today we are going to make a Pichu who’s holding a wreath. I love it, let’s go~~!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥  Felt in the colors Yellow, Black, Green and Pink.
♥  Sewing thread in matching colors to the felt.
♥  Sewing Needle.
♥  Trick Marker or anything else where you can copy the pattern with onto your felt.
♥  Pattern.
♥  Scissors.
♥  Stuffing.
♥  Fabric Glue. (optional)
♥  Acryllic Paint in Red and White.

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.

Use a trick marker or anything else you can copy the pattern with on to the felt. Cut Parts A, E and F out of yellow felt. Parts B, C, D, G and the eyes out of black felt. Part i you’ll cut out of pink and part H you’ll cut out of green felt. Make sure you’ll cut out the right amount of every piece, the way it’s stated on the pattern.
Don’t loose track of which piece is which.

On part A you’ll position parts B (left ear), C (right ear) and D on the right places. You can use a tiny bit of glue to keep them in place.

Then start sewing at the right ear with a blanket stitch. Make sure before closing the first ear, that you’ll stuff it already! You will get in trouble if you don’t. Just go along the edge of the head, the other ear, and do the same for the other ear with stuffing. Before you start closing the body, make sure you place the arms (part F) in between the layers. and use a running stitch to keep the in place, sew the rest of the body with the blanket stitch. And before entirely closing it up, stuff the head and body.

Glue the eyes and the cheeks to his face, and with a white dot of acryllic paint you’ll bring the eyes alive.

Sew both part H togheter with a blanket stitch, both the inside and the outside of the wreath. When you are done, paint red dots on there (little berries). You can put a tiny white dot in every ‘berry’ for a bit of shine.

Position the wreath and glue it to the body. Then glue the hands around the wreath. On the wreath you’ll glue the feet (part E) and the tail (part G) on his back.

And another felt ornament is ready! cute right?! Share yours with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY on twitter or insta!

I will see you tomorrow again! Have a nice day!

♥ Sea Wave Mosiac Triangular Scarf

1 Comment

First of all, I was scared this challenge would come. I never made a triangular shawl before. Well ones before, from a pattern. But that took me ages to make! And we had just 3 weeks for this one. HOW?! I really needed to come up with an idea!

Allereerst was ik zo bang dat deze opdracht zou komen! Ik had nog nooit een omslagdoek zelf bedacht. Wel 1 keer een van een patroon gemaakt, en daar hield het op. Het heeft me heel lang gekost om die af te maken en nu hebben we maar 3 weken. HOE DAN?! Ik moest echt snel met een idee komen!

I saw mosaic crochet before, and I love those patterns they made with it. But how do you do that?! I never done it before, but it looked okay to try. Also what colors do I want. I wanna make something that I would wear, so the colors need to be close to me. Then I remembered a blanket that used turquoise and some brown, sandy tones. I knew I wanted to go for those colors. I could choose for stylcraft yarns again, but I did that for several challenges already and really wanted to try something else. A lot of yarns I could pick from where with wool, and I am not a person that likes wool… So I went for Yarn & Colors Super Charming. Such pretty yarn, a bit like Scheepjes Stonewashed only thicker.

Ik heb wel vaker mosiac haken gezien, en ik vindt het zo mooi wat ze daar mee maken. Maar hoe doe je dat?! Ik heb dat zelf nog nooit gedaan, maar het zag wel makkelijk om te proberen. En ook kleuren, wat wil ik?! Ik wou wel iets maken wat ik zelf ook zou willen dragen, dus dan hoef ik niet met fel roze aan te komen. Toen herinnerde ik me een deken in turqiouse en zand kleurtjes. En toen wist ik dat dat het ging worden! Ik kon weer kiezen voor Stylecraft garen, maar dat heb ik al voor meerdere opdrachten gebruikt, dus wou ik nu voor wat anders gaan. Veel garens waar we uit mochten kiezen waren met wol, en daar hou ik zelf niet zo van. Dus ben ik uiteindelijk gegaan voor Yarn & Colors Super Charming, heel mooi garen! Een beetjes zoals Scheepjes Stonewashed.

With starting the triangular shawl, it went kinda smoothly, it was getting a nice triangle, nothing really bothered me. And then there was the Mosiac part xD Gah! I thought I can do this in one go xD NOT. At first I had chosen a pattern that was impossible with this technic, so I had to go for something else. That went well, the first part was finally done.

Aan het begin van mijn omslagdoek ging het vrij makkelijk, de driehoek werd mooi, niks aan de hand. Tot het mosaic gedeelte xD ha! Ik dacht dat doe ik even, NIET. Eerst had ik een patroon gekozen die onmogelijk was met deze techniek, dus moest ik iets anders kiezen/ontwerpen. Gelukkig gind dat wel goed, en het eerste mosaic stuk was klaar.

I also noticed my yarn went pretty quick, so I had to make those hole thingies to make sure I would end up with the right size. the second mosaic part didn’t went well either. Wrong choise of pattern again, teehee, so had to undo a pretty big part and start over again.

Ik merkte ook dat mijn garen vrij snel ging, dus moest ik wel gaatjes maken in mijn patroon, iets wat ik eerst niet echt wou. Maar ik moest eindigen met het juiste formaat, dus ja, moest wel. Het tweede mosaic stuk ging weer niet goed, verkeerde keus van patroon, alweer, teehee. Dus moest ik een flink stuk uithalen en overnieuw beginnen.

When I finally finished I was so happy with it, only it got a bit round at the top part, instead of straight. So I had to block it.. something I never had done before, and is was so big (185 by 135cm), how a where am I gonna do that?! The solution was in a youtube video, simply cardboard, now fancy stuff needed. And that went well, it only took ages to dry xD. Oh well. I’m happy with how it looks, it’s so warm, perfect for the winter times.

Toen ik eindelijk klaar was, was ik zo blij met het resultaat. Alleen had het iets van een bolling aan de bovenkant. Dus moest ik het blokken, iets wat ik nog nooit gedaan had, en hij is nogal groot (185 bij 135cm). Hoe en waar ga ik dat in vredesnaam doen?! Het antwoord lag in een youtube video, gewoon karton, geen fancy spullen nodig. En dat ging goed, het duurde alleen heel lang voor het droog was xD Ach ja, Ik ben blij met hoe het er nu uit ziet, het is lekker warm, perfect voor de winter.

This is what I made:

Hey Lovelies! This time I had 1 idea only, usualy I have plenty of ideas! But at first I had just a few things I wanted to include, a baby, clothes or something you can change like a hat or so and probably Fall themed. But Then I realized that when this aired it was almost Winter, so I went for that theme.
I love making Amigurumi’s, I do that all the time! But usually my Amigurumi’s are small, and this one, for the challenge had to be 20 to 30cm! ah! So big!!

Deze keer had ik maar 1 idee, normaal heb ik er tig! Maar in het begin had ik alleen onderdeeltjes die ik er graag in wou verwerken, zoals een baby’tje, kleertjes die je kan veranderen en waarschijnlijk een herfst thema. Maar toen bedacht ik me dat het al bijna winter is als deze aflevering online komt, dus ben ik voor een winter thema gegaan.
Ik vindt het erg leuk om Amigurumi’s te haken, ik doe niet anders! Maar meestal zijn mijn amigurumi’s klein, en deze, voor de opdracht, moest tussen de 20 en 30cm zijn! Zo groot!!

The main challenge for me was when I had to make the body. The feet/legs went very easily, but then I wanted to crochet further, directly on the legs. I have tried that soooooo many times. >_< One week passed and I gave up on that idea. Made the body seperate, and that went so smoothly! That was way more easy to get the shape I wanted! From that moment on I just crochet and crochet, so easy~~.

De grootste uitdaging bij deze opdracht zat hem in het lijfje. De beentjes had ik zo gemaakt, maar ik wou daarop verder haken. Ik heb dat zooooo vaak geprobeerd. >_< Een week was voorbij en ik had opgegeven met dat idee. Ik heb het lijfje apart gemaakt, en dat ging zo makkelijk! Dat was veel makkelijker om de vorm te krijgen die ik wou! Vanaf dat moment kon ik blijven haken, zo gemakkelijk!

Here’s what I made:
Hier is wat ik gemaakt heb:

I loved to make all the small little details in the cape, the baby etc. I could make what I love. With every challenge I tried to keep it close to myself. And I guess that’s something that keeps it interresting and fun!

Ik vond het zo leuk om alle kleine details te maken, in de cape, de baby, etc. Ik kon maken wat ik leuk vind. Met elke opdracht het ik het geprobeerd dicht bij mezelf te houden. En ik denk dat dat het een stuk interessanter en leuker blijft houden.

The ‘clothes’ are removable, that’s something I like, that you can interract more with it then just a plush. This way you can also change it up, so make a summery outfit or something like that. I am not sure if I will make that in the future for this one. Or that I will create a new one. Let’s find out what the future brings.

De kleertjes kun je uit en aan doen, dat is iets wat ik leuk vind, dat je knuffeltje interactiever wordt dan gewoon een knuffel. Op deze manier kun je dus ook de kleertjes aanpassen, of nieuwe maken, zoals een zomer outfit of iets in die richting! Ik weet niet zeker of ik dat voor dit knuffeltje in de toekomst nog ga doen. Of dat ik een nieuwe ontwerp. Laten we zien wat de toekomst brengt.

♥ Day 3; Togepi Felt Ornament

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! it’s day 3 of my Blogmas! And we go back to felt! We need more ornament for our tree right?! (Or anything else where you can hang them xD let’s just hang them everwhere!!). For today I planned to make Togepi in a Stocking! So cute! Let’s do this.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥  Felt in the colors Red, White and Beige.
♥  Sewing thread in matching colors to the felt.
♥  Sewing Needle.
♥  Trick Marker or anything else where you can copy the pattern with onto your felt.
♥  Pattern.
♥  Scissors.
♥  Stuffing.
♥  Fabric Glue. (optional)
♥  Acryllic Paint in Dark Brown, Red and Blue.

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.

Part A you will cut out of Red felt. Part B, C, D and E you will cut out of white felt. Part F, G and H you’ll cut out of beige felt. keep in mind how many times you need to cut out each piece. And keep track of which piece is which.

Glue or sew (with a running stitch) part B and C to part A. Then, Sew the completed parts A together with a blanket stitch (this stitch you will use for this whole piece).
When you have the base of the stocking done, you need part D, I glued this on as well, but I guess you can also sew it on. Start in the middle of the back of the stocking (see picture), wrap it around, and finish of tightly at where you started. You might have a bit too much in length of this piece, just cut the remaining part off.
Now stuff the stocking lightly.

Now you need parts F and G. Sew these together, the bottom part you’ll leave open. And where his ‘spikes’ (how to call it else?!) are you’ll use a running stitch.

Put the face part inbetween the shell (part E) I used glue to attach these but you can sew it as well. Around the shell you sew it close, but don’t forget to stuff it before entirely closing.

Glue on his arms (part H) And with paint you’ll gonna make all the details on his shell and his face. I figured it’s easier to use paint here since mine is pretty small, but if you made yours bigger you can also use felt for this part.

If you want you can attach a loop to be able to hang it somewhere, just take a piece of thread, put it through a needle, pull it half way through your ornament. Remove the needle and tie both end together.

And another felt ornament is ready! cute right?! Share yours with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY on twitter or insta!

I will see you tomorrow again! Have a nice day!
