♥ Amigurumi: Donald And Daisy Ufufy Keychain

5 Comments

Hey Lovelies!

Do you have your crochet hook ready?! I really needed a keychain to go on my bag, it feels so boring! And then I had to the trouble of picking what I want to go on there! Oh well, I can always change it up again. So, I thought of making a Donald and Daisy Duck Ufufy! Hope you will like that as well!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥  Yarn. I used thin acrylic yarn. White, Pink, Light Yellow, Light purple for Daisy, Light Blue and Black for Donald.
♥  Crochet hook.
♥  Stitch marker.
♥  Yarn needle.
♥  Sewing pins. (optional)
♥  Embroidery Neeldle and Black thread.
♥  Scissors.
♥  Fiber Fill.
♥  Black Felt.
♥  Key Chain.
♥  Glue (optional).

Stitches used:
CH = Chain.
SC = Single Crochet.
ST = Stitch.
BL = Back Loop.
FL = Front Loop.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.
Slst = Slip Stitch.
(…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times.
[…] = Total number of stitches.

Working in Back Loops is optional, but this gives a bit more 3D-ish look. So at row 12 and 16 you worked in Back Loops, join now in the Front Loops and SLST around. Fasten off and weave in tail.

Fasten off and leave long tail for sewing. You don’t have to stuff them, just flatten.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: (1SC, inc), 3 times. [9]
Fasten off and leave long tail for sewing. You don’t have to stuff them, just flatten.

Bow
In Pink.

1: Chain 7, insert in 2nd chain from hook, 6SC, turn. [6]
2: Chain 1, 6SC. [6]
3: SLST around the bow for a nice edge.
Fasten off and leave a long tail. Use a Yarn Needle to go to the middle of the bow and wrap the tail tightly around several times and fasten off.

Donalds Hat
Start with Light Blue.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: 2SC in each st around. [12]
3: Work in Back Loops only, (1SC, dec), 4 times. [8]
Change to Black.
4: Dec all around. [4]
Fasten off and leave long tail for sewing. You don’t have to stuff it.

Assembling

Sew on the beak to the larger part of the white, just above the colored part. Cut some eyes out of black felt and glue those to both sides of the beak.
Now you know where the middle is, you can place the legs easily, use some sewing pins to make sure you potition them first, before sewing on. This way you can easily move them around until you are happy with the look. The white ones go on the colored part and the light yellow ones, go on the white part just under the colored part, sew them on.
If you made Donald, sew his hat slightly to the side of his head. If you are done sewing, pull the left over thread through the hat, so you can make his little tag. Leave it a bit longer and cut it off.
For both Daisy and Donald I gave them some fluff on the head, I just took 3 pieces of white yarn, tied a knot on one side and pulled it though the side, with a yarn needle, to the middle of the head. Make sure the knot dissapears inside the body. Cute the yarn slightly longer as you want and with the yarn needle you can untwist the yarn, so it get’s fluffy. Now you can give them the final hair cut ^^.
Time for the bow. I glued them on, but you can totally sew them on if you prefer. By Donald it goes under his beak. And with Daisy it goes on top of her head.

I hope you enjoyed this Pattern! Would love to see yours if you made it! #DelinleaDIY on Instagram/Twitter/Vero.

♥ Ufufy Easter Eggs

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies!

Time for a new DIY, are you ready?! You know my love for Tsum Tsum’s by now, I believe, but I also love the Ufufy’s they are a bit different but have the same concept. I love them since they used pastel colors for all the Disney characters. Which makes them appear even cuter.
I had those fake eggs around for a while, and needed to use them badly! So why not making something fun with them. Let’s make Ufufy Easter Eggs!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Fake Eggs or cleaned out Eggshells if you prefer.
♥ Light Air Dry Clay.
♥ Pencil.
♥ Acrylic Paint.
♥ Brush.
♥ Glue.
♥ Ribbon. (optional)
♥ Sculpting tools. (optional)

Sketching.

To start, sketch out the design of the Disney character you like with a pencil, I made a few different ones, like Pooh Bear, Mickey, Stitch, Dumbo, etc. I started with sketching the line to ‘devide’ the head and the body, that way it makes it easier to know where all the other lines need to go. I sometimes used a flexible ruler to measure them out, so all head’s and body’s where about the same.

Clay.

When you are done with all the sketching, continue to claying! This gives you the opportunity to bring them a bit more alive! I used clay to make the limbs, ears and eventually tails or other features. I used air dry clay because the eggs I used are of plastic, don’t ever bake plastic things, it’s not healthy (and they won’t survive anyway). So, don’t use baking clay.
The easiest way to get even features is, for example, make 4 small even balls for the limbs. Shape them how you like and attach them to the body with some glue. You can use a needle tool or pin to make them seemless, but that’s optional.
If you made all the features out of clay and attached them to the eggs, Let them dry comepletly. I let them dry over night, but it depends on what brand clay you used.

Painting.

Now it’s time to give these some color! I used basic acryllic paints. And since I don’t own pastel colors I mixed all the colors myself, it’s not that hard. Use references of the Ufufy characters you created to make the right color and paint the areas with a brush. I had to do about 2/3 layers of paint, depending on the color. And ofcourse don’t forget to paint their eyes and noses! I used brown paint for these. Try to avoid the use of black paint, this will make them look appear a bit harsh against the soft pastel tones.
You can choose at this point, after finishing painting, to give them a coat of varnish. I haven’t done that yet, since I ran out of time xD. Just like I haven’t finished all of the Ufufy’s I planned to make. I will update my blog post when I did finish them all.

I hope you like this idea of Ufufy easter eggs. Let’s make a whole army of them, right?! Don’t forget to show them with #DelinleaDIY or tag me on Twitter or Instagram.

Love
