♥ Suggestions!

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Today no DIY or tutorial, I have simply no time to make something for you right now. So, I wanna ask you for suggestions! I wanna know what you wanna see for tutorials or DIY on my blog, what are you interrested in etc.
I will list some of the crafts/arts I already know, but you can also suggest thing I didn’t list, I’m always eager to figure things out and share that with you. So comment down below or email me through ‘contact’.

Drawing/Painting
I love to draw and paint. I’m better at drawing tho xD. I mainly draw portraits, but I often try to draw other things as wel, such as animals or food or fantasy creatures. Want quick tutorials on how to draw something particulair?!

Crochet/Amigurumi
Ofcourse! haha I have already many Patterns on here, but you can always suggest other characters etc.

Paper/Origami
I have done 3D Origami for a very long time and made the weirdest things. I also made a real life macaw! (But a macaw is not something I will show you how to make, way to complicated!).
I just love to make things with paper, paper is one of my secret loves xD. So anything with paper you can suggest, even bookbinding.

Clay
So many cute things you can make with clay, the possebilities are endeles. It doens’t really matter if it is air dry clay or polymer clay or even home made clay. Tell me if you wanna see something with it!

Beads
I used to make a lot of 3d creatures with wire and beads, I don’t do it that often anymore, but every time I see it, I’m tempted to make something again. I use the gegenfadel technc.

Poseable Art Dolls
This is something I know how to do (not that I’m very good at it xD), but it takes a lot of time, and I’m so busy lately that I can’t seem to finish them. >_< But I can always give tips or something to create your own!

Others
There’s probably a lot more I haven’t covered now, but you can suggest anything and I will look into it!

I hope you will suggest a lot, so I learn what you would like to see more or want patterns for~~
Have a wonderful day! And I’ll go back to work now!

Make a loop on the witch hat and place the hat on the head, if you are happy with the look, sew it on.
Cut some eyes and mouth out of black felt en glue this on the face.

And you are done!! I hope you enjoyed this pattern. This is the last one of these series! I hope you enjoyed all 3 of them. And don’t forget to show me yours if you made it, use the #DelinleaDIY on instagram or twitter!
