♥ Pietjes Lucky Charms

29 november 2018 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Sinterklaas is in town! If you don’t know what Sinterklaas is, it’s a Dutch celebration similar to Christmas, only celebrated on the 5th of Dec. (Fun fact: Christmas is actually based on Sinterklaas xD).
Anyway I just had to make a DIY for this and I planned to make a whole bunch of lucky charms. But I ended up making only de ‘Zwarte Piet’ ones. I ran out of time to maken Sinterklaas en Amerigo. I’m so sorry, maybe I’ll make a DIY on that next year!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Wooden beads in 2 sizes. (you can make them as big as you want)
♥ Air Dry Clay.
♥ PVA Glue.
♥ Scewer.
♥ Acryllic paints in colors of choice.
♥ Paintbrush.
♥ Matching pieces of thread, to the paint.
♥ Tiny piece of a Feather.
♥ Scissors.

DIY

First, glue the 2 different sized beads together, make sure the holes line up. Let that dry.

Make with clay a snake and make a circle around the smaller bead aka head. Use glue eventually to make it stick better, that’s what I did.

Now make a ball of some clay, about 1cm, and flatten this on to the head, until it touches the snake you put on there earlier. Use a scewer to poke through the hole on top. and make some creases with the scewer into the hat. Let the clay dry now.

Painting

Now it’s time to paint your pieces. I used 2 colors of choise, light brown, dark brown and white. It doesn’t really matter where you start, just make them cute and nice. The only thing you paint on last is the eyes!
Optional, varnish the beads so they are nice and protected. But you don’t have to.

Finishing off.

Cut a tiny piece of the top of a normal sized feather and glue this on his hat.
Then cut of about 30 cm of thread, in 2 colors. put this through the body of the Zwarte Piet, tie a knot at the bottom and you are done.

♥ Amigurumi Dilly Duck

12 juli 2018 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies!

It’s about time to make something cute again, right?! Well I was brainstorming a bit of what to make for upcoming blogs, and I saw one of my Blue Nose Friends plushies. I got it long ago and I remembered there are more around. When I looked them up on the internet, I found out that there are so many now! I only don’t know where to get them. The store I got this one, long ago, is now closed. So, what I can’t buy, I’ll make myself haha. Also a good reason to use my plush yarn!

♥ Fiber Fill.
♥ Grey Felt.
♥ Safety Eyes.
♥ Glue (optional).

*Note: You can use regular yarn as well, but just make sure you have 2 sizes of yarn, White must be thick and the light blue and grey thin. This was you’ll be able to make him too without the plush yarn. (Scroll down for a picture)

Do this on the other side, of the foot, again. Repeat for the other foot.

Assembling.

Sew the head to the body. With some sewing pins you can place the wings in the right place, just were you’ve sewn the head to the body. When you are happy, sew those one as well.
Do the same for the feet, and sew them on tightly.
Sew the beak on as well, just under the eyes. Make some markings with black yarn on top of his beak.
Now cut 3 Squares from grey felt. You can make them as big as you want, but don’t over do. Now, with some black yarn, sew one on his head, one on the side of his belly and one on his back.
And you are done! Yay!

I hope you enjoyed this pattern! I certainly did, I love how he looks! If you made one or more too, show me with #DelinleaDIY I love to see how yours turned out! Now, enjoy the rest of your day!
