His snout you will sew on covering the lower part of the white, which you used for the face. this way you create the shape of the eyes.
Sew his ears to the sides of his head. And sew  his hat on top of his head, slightly to the side
For the eyes and nose you can either choose to use felt or you can embroider them on. I chose to embroider them on, cause yeah why choose the easy way haha. But which way you choose, Goofy will look cute.

I had fun making Goofy, and I hope you had to! Don’t forget to show your with the #DelinleaDIY

♥ Day 12: Tsum Tsum Clay Ornament

Leave a Comment

Hey lovelies!

It’s still snowing outside! OMG I just wanna be outside haha. Snow is just the best thing in the world.
Anyway I made you a Tsum Tsum clay ornament tutorial with a homemade clay recipe, with just 2 ingredients. I love how quick you can make this clay and you can either choose to let it air dry or bake it in the oven. Let’s dive into the tutorial!

For the clay you’ll need:
♥ 1/2 Cup Cornstarch.
♥ 1 Cup Baking Soda.
♥ 3/4 Cup Water.
♥ A Pan.

Further you’ll need:
♥ A pencil.
♥ Paper.
♥ Rolling pin.
♥  X-acto knive.
♥ Straw.
♥ Watercolors.
♥ Black Acrylic
♥ Bakers twine or any other thread.
♥ Brushes.
♥ Baking tray. (optional)
♥ Parchment paper. (optional)

♥ How to make the Clay

For the clay, mix all the ingredients together in a pan. Now cook the mixture over medium heat until it starts to thicken. When it does, remove it from the heat, put it in a bowl and cover it with a damp towel until it’s cool enough to handle. Knead the clay well to be sure you have no lumps or bubbles. Now the clay is ready to use! ^-^

♥ Ornaments

Let’s start making the ornaments! Draw out some line art Tsum Tsum’s on paper, you can use google  for some reference, that’s what I did. When you are happy with how they look, cut them out, and put them aside for now. (you can also print out some line arts from google if you feel to lazy to draw them xD).

Next, roll out the clay on a flat survice with a rolling pin, until it’s about 0,5 cm thick. Don’t roll it out to thin, otherwise the ornaments won’t dry flat. Put the paper Tsum Tsum you just drew on top of it and go along the edges with a x-acto knive. Make as many as you want and put them on a baking tray with some parchment paper. Make some holes with a straw for hanging. Now you can either choose to let the ornaments air dry in a warm place for at least 24 hours. Or you can choose to bake them in the oven, what I did. If so, place them in the middle of the oven and bake them on 80°C for about an hour. When they are 30 min in, make sure to flip them over. And when ready let them completly cool down. They can still be a bit wet, but that will dry over time, don’t worry.

♥ Coloring

Now take your dry, white clay ornaments and draw on your Tsum Tsum face with a pencil. (You can use those drawings you made in the beginning, as reference.) Now you are ready to start coloring them, it’s very easy to use watercolors for this, but don’t use too much water. Well, you will know what’s too much and too little haha. Just have fun and make them as fancy as you want. I just realized you can also put some glitters on there, specially for Christmas!

To make them more neath, take a thin brush or liner brush to make lines with black Acrylic. you can also cover the sides with black acrylics if you like.

Now take about 15cm of bakers twine and put it through the little hole you made before letting them dry. And now hang them wherever you want! I love how mine turned out, they look so cute in the Christmas tree. I guess I will make some more after this countdown. Haha not much time to make more now xD.

I hope you will like this tutorial, and that you will make many! How cute would they be as a gift for someone! Have a nice day lovelies, and don’t forget to share them with #DelinleaDIY.

Love
Danielle

♥ Day 10: Tinkerbell Paper Decoration

Leave a Comment

Hey lovelies!

Today it’s time for another DIY! How is it going by you so far?! Enjoying my crafts?!
Anyway, since I love paper so much, I thought why not make some decoration. I chose to draw out Tinkerbell on a present, and devide her in little parts, so you get a 3D effect, kinda. Let’s just start the tutorial, so it get a bit more clear!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Cardstock in the colors Green, Red, White, Yellow, Blue and Beige.
♥ These templates.
♥ Soft Pastel. (optional)
♥ (Colored) Pencils
♥ Scissors.
♥ Glue.
♥ Things to decorate, like glitter, gelpen, etc. (optional).

Start of with downloading these templates, you can either choose to print them out, or trace them from your screen. Then copy all the little parts from template 2 and 3 onto the cardstock, every part on the right color. The numbers show which part goes where so you can easily pick your colors for you creation. You can always choose to change colors if you want to ^-^.
When you are done tracing all the parts, you can cut them out.

If you are ready with cutting all the parts out, you can choose to make the edges of the paper darker or lighter with some Soft Pastel (or you can use colored pencil, but that makes it a little harder). What I did is go along the edge with the pastel stick and rubbed it with my fingers. (but if you don’t like to get dirty fingers use a tissue or something like that). To do this you create a bit more depth in the end result.

When all the parts are done, you can start gluing all the parts together. Use template 1 as a guidance. This way you almost can’t mess up. and when you are ready draw on her eyes, mouth and nose.

Now it’s time for the fun part, decorating! This is totally optional to do, but I had so much. I drew little snowflakes on the present and use glitter glue for her wings and dress. It gives just that little extra.

I hope you had fun making Tinkerbell! I know I had, cause I needed a small break from all the crocheting xD.
Don’t forget to show me yours with the #DelinleaDIY
