♥ DIY; Tie Dye Bleach Jeans

2 Comments

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!

Hey Lovelies! It’s a new week, and Spring has begon! Are you enjoying to see nature slowly come alive again? I love to see plants waking up from their sleep, and see all the fresh leaves and flowers, so, so pretty! Though on the other hand, the waether isn’t sure how to act right now, one moment it storms badly with rain, and the next second it’s sunny. How is it in your country?! Kinda the same as here? Anyway, since it’s spring now, that also means the time of baby animals, yay~~. I thought I would make a cute Duckling pattern, with boho touch, for you to make. I hope you will enjoy it!

♥ 3 scrap pieces of yarn in colors of choise. (optional)
♥ Little Feather. (optional)

Stitches used (US Terms):
Magic Ring.
Ch = Chain.
SC = Single Crochet.
ST = Stitch.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.
(…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times.
[…] = Total number of stitches.

Pattern

Body
Use the color yellow.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: 2SC in each st around. [12]
3: (1SC, inc) 6 times. [18]
4: (2SC, inc) 6 times. [24]

9: 18SC. [18]
10: 18SC. [18]
11: (1SC, dec) 6 times. [12]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Don’t forget to stuff the body.

Head
Use the color yellow.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: 2SC in each st around. [12]
3: (1SC, inc) 6 times. [18]

9: 30SC. [30]
10: 30SC. [30]
11: (4SC, inc) 6 times. [36]
Between row 10 and 11 you will place the eyes, about 3 cm apart.
12: 36SC. [36]

14: (4SC, dec) 6 times. [30]
15: (3SC, dec) 6 times. [24]
16: (2SC, dec) 6 times. [18]
17: (1SC, dec) 6 times. [12] Stuff the body here.
18: Dec all around. [6]
fasten off and weave in tail. With some 10cm piece of the same yarn you can create some fluff on top of his head. I use 3 strings. and pulled those through the bottom to the top of his head. Make sure you have aknot in the end so they stay in place. Fluff the top parts of the yarn a bit up.

Wings
Use the color yellow.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: 2SC in each st around. [12]
3: 12SC. [12]
4: 12SC. [12]
5: (2SC, dec) 3 times. [9]
6: 9SC. [9]
7: 9SC. [9]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. You don’t have to stuff the wings, just flatten them.

Beak
Use the color orange.

1: Ch7, insert in second chain from hook, 5SC, 3SC in the next st, 4SC, inc. [14]
2: 14SC. [14]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Foot
Use the color orange.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: 6SC. [6]
3: (1SC, inc) 3 times. [9]
4: 9SC. [9]
5: (2SC, inc) 3 times. [12]
6: 12SC. [12]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. The gap you are left with at the end of row 6 you sew close with some stitches, make sure to flatten it first.

Assembling

I always use sewing pins to place all parts first, before sewing. This way you can easily move all parts around until you are happy with the outcome.

Sew on the body to his head and place the wings at both sides of the body, sew on. His beak will go in between his eyes, but slighly lower. You don’t have to stuff the beak, but you can do if you want, do that when you are almost done sewing it on. Last sew on his feet.
This part is optional, but you can give him a little headband. Braid 3 scrap pieces in a color of choise together until it’s long enough to tie around his head. Add a little feather, and you are done!

Tip, add some pink pastel dust on his cheeks, for an extra cute look.

I hope you liked this pattern, and show me if you made it! Have a lovely 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

Assembling

For assembling I always use pins first to place all the parts, this way I can easily move them around until I am happy with how it looks!
First place the legs, the 2 white in front, slightly forward. The greys are at the back, facing outward, sew them on.
Now sew on the sides of the body. Use the pics as reference.
For the face, I used some black felt. Simply cut out the design you want for the face and then glue it on.
There is also this little mark on his chest where his ‘heart’ is, you can choose to cut this out of felt or do some embroidery or leave it out (Like I did). Just what you think is the easiest for you!

And your Baymax is done! Cute and easy, but I love him! And another one to our collection! If you want to see a certain tsum I haven’t made a pattern for yet. Let me know and maybe thay creature will be next!

Have a wonderful day!
