♥ DIY; Tie Dye Bleach Jeans

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I always love to change up cloths when I buy basic stuff. But I am usually to lazy to do them  or to show it to you xD. For today I thought, why not show you how to bleach some jeans, tie dye style. It’s a quick and easy change you can do yourself. I have done this a few times before. It’s cheap, tho you can buy those type of jeans yourself as wel, but that less fun and you probably spend more money on them. This DIY only involves some patience as well, so just that you know, bleach needs time to do it’s job xD.

For this DIY you’ll need.
♥ (Black) Jeans of your liking.
♥ Rubber Bands.
♥ Bleach.
♥ Water.
♥ Bucket that’s large enough to put your jeans, water and bleach in. Or you can use your sink.
♥ (Large) spoon.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Sink to rince your jeans well, this will be the place to remove the rubber bands.
♥ Washing Machine.

Warning! Bleach can affect your skin, eyes and airway. Make sure you are in a well ventilated area when you start working with bleach. Also wear gloves and some old cloths in case the bleach splatters around.

Rubber Bands

The first step is to add the rubber bands to your jeans.  You can do this in many ways. But I like to grap a piece of jeans and wrap the band several times around it, but not at one spot. As I show in the pictures. Do this for the whole thing! There’s not a wrong or right way to do this, just go for it.

Bleaching

Time for the bleaching part, please make sure to do this carfully! Fill up your bucket or sink with some hot water, then add the bleach (about 2 parts water, 1 part bleach), it doens’t matter if it’s a bit more or less, as long as it does it’s job. Keep in mind that you still have to put your jeans in there as well, so don’t overfill.

If your bleach water is ready, put in your jeans. Let it sit for about 30min, up to 90min. When the jeans are in there, you wanna make sure to twist it around every now and then, this is where the spoon comes in. I would NOT recomment you doing this with bare hands! You can see the water change color now, this is good, that means the bleach is doing it’s thing! The jeans should be completely under water, if that’s not the case, because it’s floating, put something heafy on it.

Note: after washing your jeans, the color will wash out even more, so it will lighten up after it’s washed and dried.

Removing the rubber bands and rinsing.

When the jeans are ready, it’s time to take it out of the bleach water. I usually rinse the whole thing out first (as far as possible) and then remove the rubber bands. Removing the bands can be pretty time consuming and annoying. Scissors will help a lot with this but becareful you won’t cut into your jeans. When all the rubber bands are removed rince out again.

Washing

As soon as all the rubber bands are removed, put your jeans in the washing machine. Just wash it as you would do regularly. BUT don’t put other stuff with it, since there’s still bleach residue left in the jeans, those need to be washed out first. When it’s done, let it dry and enjoy your new, unique pair of jeans!

I hope you enjoyed this DIY and so you will try it yourself! It’s fun! Oh! And a small tip, if you used black jeans like I did, try some color dye to color the white parts! Imagine the white spots to be hot pink or green!

Have a beautiful day!

♥ DIY ATEEZ Name Tags

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I’m so sorry I couldn’t make a blog post last week! But I am here now, that’s the most important. Since I go to see ATEEZ in april, and making some drawings of them. I thought why not make a tutorial on how I made the name tags for the drawings. Those can be used for anything, and I bet more ATINY (fandom name) would love to create some for themself as well. Either for decoration, for any of the concerts or just for fun. Kpop fans always run out of money so if we can make something ourself, we do it! You can copy the ones from ATEEZ or come up with your own design, like I did.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Paper to make a template.
♥ Anything you can use as a base for the tags, think of paper, cardstock, fabric, newspaper, etc.
♥ Anything to make letters with, you can print them out, draw/paint them, etc.
♥ Pencil.
♥ Ruler.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Safety pins or something else that can hold and attach the tag.

Templates

Start with making some templates for the tags. It’s easier to do this step, so you’re sure you don’t spill any materials. By deciding the sizes now, you can easily play around to see what you would like. Just draw some different sizes rectangles, longer, shorter, wider, smaller.  And maybe even play around with the shape itself. For inspiration check the Say My Name tag from ATEEZ themself.
Cut those shapes out and make stacks of 2/3/more shapes. This will be the base of the tag. Ofcourse you can change later in case you might not like it.

Tag Base

Now we have decided the shape of our tag. We can go decide what material you would like to use for each shape. So, for example, you decide to use fabric for one, a recycled bus ticket for the other and brown wrinkled paper. the possibilities are endless, just have fun.

Trace the template on the desired material. Now you can cut some out neatly with scissors, but you can also rip it out?! How pretty would that look like, if you do it carefully ofcourse, ripping paper can be hard haha.

Lettering

Tags are coming along nicely, but still missing the name. What name do you want to be on the tag?! your own? ATEEZ? or their names?! Song titles? It’s up to you, I chose to write their names since it goes along on the drawing of them. Would be weird if I suddenly put on something completely not related haha.

You can do this in different ways, print out letters you want/like, cut those out and glue them on. Or you can choose to draw/paint them on, trace it, anything. It’s just what you like to do, and what you think will fit you. You can make it as hard as you want. xD

Finishing off

The only thing left to do is to keep those different tags together. You can use a safety pin, so you can also attach it to your clothes. Or what about thread, using a needle to sew it together or make a hole with a holepuncher and put the thread through there.

Ha! So many things you can do here. And I think that’s the nice thing about this, you can do what you like, and so everyone will make their own unique tags.

I hope you have an idea now how to make your own ATEEZ inspired name tags!

Have a Wonderful day everyone!

Love
Danielle

♥ Day 14; Pokeball Snowglobe Terrarium

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s day 14 of Blogmas 2018 and it’s time for something cute! I am not sure if you saw them before, but I just had to make my own variation on it. I made a Pokeball snowglobe terrarium! I love how it turned out and the options are endless!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Plastic Ball Ornament, 10cm.
♥ White Acryllic Paint.
♥ Cardboard.
♥ Black and White Foam.
♥ Small Pokemon that can fit in there, or make one.
♥ Fake Small Trees.
♥ Fake Snow.
♥ Anything else you can decorate with, Like stones, branches, moss, etc.
♥ Pliers where you can cut with.
♥ Glue. (crafters as wel as hot glue)
♥ Scissors.
♥ Brush.

DIY

First off, cut of the thing you normally hang the ornament with, with pliers.

Trace one of the parts on cardboard and cut this circle out. You wanna cut it slightly smaller so it will fit inside! but don’t put it inside yet. You can try if it fits in tho.

Now, paint the lower half of the ball white in the inside, paint the cardboard you just cutted, white as well. You might need several layers, just keep checking.

When everthing is fully dry, take your cardboard. On this you will make the scenery you want. Place trees, bushes, anything you like. There are no rules to do this, as long as you make sure the upper part of the ball ornament will fit over it. To make it a bit more christmassy, I glued red beads in one of the trees.

Last I put crafters glue where ever I wanted snow, and then dumped the snow over it. To prevent it from getting a huge mess. Make sure you have a sheet of paper or anything underneath, so that can catch all the loose snow that will fall off. xD Shake off the loose snow on the paper.

Now place the cardboard with your scenery in the lower part of the ball, the one you painted white. You can use a bit of glue to make it secure, but I didn’t have to do that.

Cut from black foam a stroke of 1cm by 32cm. And 1 large circle from black, about 2,5cm. From white you cut 2 smaller circles. Glue the 3 circles on top of each other. And glue this to the place you chopped of the thingy at the beginning, but onlyto the lower part of the ball, the upper half is still loose! So it’s nice and covered and stil be able to open the ball. 

Now, the stroke of black foam you’ll glue around the ornament. Just like with the circles, glue it only to the lower part of the ball.

Last but not least, place in your pokemon. And place the upper part of the ball over everything.

Cut a ring, if you don’t have to place the ball on, of a toiletroll. Just to have something to stand on.

And you are finished! I hope you will have as much fun as I had while making this! so many options, I might make a few more xD. And don’t forget to show me yours with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or #DelinleaDIY

Enjoy your day and I’ll see you tomorrow!

♥ Day 13; Jirachi Felt Ornament

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s day 13 of Blogmas! Having fun so far?! Have you made anything yet?! For today I planned another felt ornament! It’s time for Jirachi! I kept him as he is, why cause he is already a star haha xD. Let’s do this.

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

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.

Now cut out all the parts from felt. Part A, B, C, F and G out of Yellow. Part D and E from white felt and Part H out of Blue felt.

Place parts D on part A and B. Just like the pic has shown, you can either glue this on like I did, or sew it on.

Put these 2 parts on top of each other and sew them together with a blanket stitch. Start sewing the yellow part, stuff this. And then do the white part and before entirly closing, stuff the body as well.

Attach part C to the head now with either glue or sew it on. Do the same for parts H, F and G.

Don’t forget to give him a face! I used paint as usual, but you can use felt if you prefer! Do what feels right for you!

And he is finished already! Much easier as you would think right?! I hope you had fun and will make him too~. If you did, share it with me, #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or #DelinleaDIY.

Have a lovely day and I’ll see you tomorrow!

♥ Day 12; Pikachu Stocking

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s day 12 of Blogmas 2018. And that means, we are half way through! Are you happy it’s going so fast, or do you want it to slow down?! For today’s DIY I wanted to make a stocking, even tho it doesn’t have those Christmassy colors, I think you will still like it. I actually wanted to do a charmander one, but I had no orange felt, so a Pikachu Stocking it is! But ofcourse you can change it to any pokemon you want! Have fun!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥  Felt in the colors White, Yellow, Red andBlack.
♥  Sewing thread in matching colors to the felt.
♥  Sewing Needle.
♥  Trick Marker or anything else where you cancopy the pattern with onto your felt.
♥  Pattern.
♥  Scissors.
♥  Stuffing.
♥  Fabric Glue. (optional)
♥  Acryllic Paint in White. (optional)
♥  15cm of white yarn.

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.

Cut part A out of Yellow Felt, Part B and F out of White felt. Part C out of Red felt. Part D, E and the mouth out of Black felt. Optional: the white dot in the eye, you can either paint it on or cut it out of white felt.

Sew parts B to parts A with a running stitch, only the part that’s in the middle of the sock.

Glue or sew on the face of Pikachu, make sure you don’t forget the white dots in the eyes, with either paint or felt. The circles for his cheeks I trimmed down the edge.

Now it’s time to sew parts a together with a Blanket stitch. All around.

When you’ve done that, it’s time to glue or sew on part F to the sock. I placed it about half way. (see the pic) But later I thought it would look better to fold in 1 cm from the top. Its best to do that first, and then glue/sew it to the sock.

Last but not least, tie a knot in both end together in the piece of yarn, so you’ll get a loop. And glue this to the stocking.

And it’s done! See, you can make many variations on this! Go wild, get creative! Have fun! And don’t forget to share with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or #DelinleaDIY.
