♥ Easter Shakers DIY

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s almost Easter time and I have barely done anything this year. While usually I have plenty of ideas that I wanna make/do. *Sigh not sure why actually. Maybe I’m just too tired still (and in pain, but let’s not talk about that). Anyway, let’s go to today’s tutorial! We are gonna make some Easter shakers, you can put them to decorate of as a little gift or just to play around with. It’s fun and I hope you will join me to make some.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Paper.
♥ Pencil/Marker.
♥ Printer. (optional)
♥ Sheet of clear plastic.
♥ Needle and Thread. (color of choice)
♥ Glitter, Sequins, etc. (to put inside)
♥ Glue.

DIY Easter Shakers

Start with drawing or printing out an egg shape on paper, make it as big as you want. This will be your guide. Trace this with pencil or a marker (test what works for you) on a sheet of clear plastic. Make sure you cut out 2 of the same shape.

Option 1, Easy

Prepare some glitter, sequins, etc, that you can put inside your egg. Set it aside and continue with the clear egg. Take your needle and thread color of choice and start sewing the 2 sheets of the egg together. Sew about 2-5mm from the edge, with a running stitch (a blanket stitch will work too). Try to make your stitches not too far apart from each other, or the glitter or other things will fall out. When you almost reached the end of sewing the 2 pieces together, about 2cm left, open this hole up and put the glitter you prepared inside, you might wanna make a funnel of paper to make this easier. Then continue to sew the opening close. Tie a knot in the yarn and with the left over yarn you can make a loop to be able to hang it.

Option 2, Harder

Trace the egg on green colored paper as well, I used 2 different shades of green but 1 is fine as well. Draw grass in those egg shapes and cut out. You can make as many layers as you like, use a bit of glue in between the layers to make it a bit easier. Now you can choose to glue some of the sequins/glitter to the grass already, or add those later, or do both, glue and add later like I did. Next, put the paper in between the two plastic egg shape sheets. Make sure to hold it in place well, maybe with the help of a clip. Now start sewing like I explained by option 1.

Wrap up

Now your fun egg shape shakers are done! I hope you will like them, I absolutely did and went ahead to make some different shapes as well. I love the clear and shaker effect of it. A bit more playful! If you had fun making some as well, make sure to show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY, I’d love to see what you made!

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

Love
Danielle

♥ Flounder Ufufy Amigurumi

1 Comment

Hey Lovelies! So, the last 2 weeks, as you probably noticed, I couldn’t make a blog post. We just moved, and the lovely people who renovated this place, cut all the internet cables. And guess what, we had to wait forever for someone to fix it. Good timing, to have no internet, in times like we live in now. Oh well, we survived 2 weeks without and we are back online. I am so tired and full of pain from the move though, so it was a challenge to upload a pattern today, a day late, I’m so glad I made it!

Assembling

Whenever I start assembling a Amigurumi, I use sewing pins first to put everything together. This way I can move all parts around easily until I am happy with how it looks. Then I will sew it on. I recommend you do so as well.

I started with sewing on Flounder his head fin/hair, the third ‘hair’ with be on top of his head. Make sure to keep checking that the stripes of his body go on the back. Next sew on his snout, mine came around row 8 and down, from the body. Next sew on his arm fins and the tail. Last cut 2 eyes (and eyebrows) from the black felt and glue those on. With a bit of sewing thread I made the eyebrows, since I thought that was easier as the felt, but you can totally do felt as well!

Flounder is already finished, so cute right?! I hope you had fun making him. If you made him, please show me on Twitter or Instagram, I would love to see what you create with my patterns.

Have a wonderful day!

Love
Danielle

Assembling

Start with sewing on the legs of Thumper, around his belly. Then sew the inside of the ears to the grey base of the ears, after sew them to the top of the head. Then sew on his snout and tail. Out of some pink felt, cut a small triangle, and from black felt 2 eyes. Glue those all on.

Thumper is already finished! I hope you had fun making him. If you made him, please show me on Twitter or Instagram, I would love to see what you create with my patterns.

Have a wonderful day!

Whenever I start assembling a Amigurumi, I use sewing pins first to put everything together. This way I can move all parts around easily until I am happy with how it looks. Then I will sew it on. I recommend you do so as well.

Sew the purple collar on where the Green of the body goes over into Light Blue. Then sew on his legs, the Greens go just after the collar, and the Dark Blue legs go at the end of the body. After, sew on the belt as well, just in front of the back legs.
Now position the first eye a bit off center, higher, of the face. When you got that one right, you will know where the other eyes will go as well.
Then on top of his head goes the Antenna, and to the sides the ears. Last cut some pupils out of Black felt and glue those to the eyes.

Your Toy Story Alien is done! I hope you had fun making this buddy! Let’s see who to make next! If you have any suggestions let me know down below or message me on Twitter or Instagram! And don’t forget to show your Tsum Tsum to me there as well, I’d love to see what you make using my patterns!
