♥ Assembling Truning Tsum Tsum

Usually I use sewing pins to put amigurumi together first, but since you don’t use any stuffing for this one, that’s gonna be a bit tricky, you could try if you want to.

On both the Orange and White body, sew the beak on. On the White body, sew his shirt one, make sure to sew along all the edges, so it’s secure enough to flip it inside out. Then sew on his legs, 2 Orange at the back and the White in front. Under his Beak you will add his little bow. And last add his little hat, when you have sewn it on, make sure you use the tail end to make the small detail on top (lacking English here, help! Haha)
Now, back to the pumpkin version, since the beak is on, you can add all the lines on the body. It’s a bit hard to explain where they should go. But on the head there are 4 lines and on the body as well. Keep in mind that it should be a pumpkin, the lines on the head go from bottom to top, where they meet, and the lines on the body go from the head to the butt and meet there. Use the sewing thread and needle to do this. Or paint/draw them on if you feel that’s better/easier. When that’s done, sew the stem, hat, 4 legs and bow to the body.
Now let’s make some eyes, for the Pumpkin use brown felt, and make the eyes slightly bigger and oval, as you would normally do for Donald. And for the normal Donald, use black felt and cut out small circles. Glue those on and let dry well.

Now for the last part of assembling, put them together, the opening should be completely lined up and sew those together. I used only the back loops to do so. Now you can push one side inside the other. And if you feel like you want to other side, flip it. The first few times, this won’t go too smoothly, but after a few times, this goes easier.

I hope you had fun with this turning Tsum pattern and hope you will make it! If you did, please, show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY, I’d love to see!

Happy Halloween!! and I’ll see you next week!

Hey Lovelies! Do you like to celebrate Halloween?! I love the idea of Halloween, but I grew up in a country where it isn’t celebrated. Although, these days it does get more attention. I would have loved it if it would have been a thing here, well maybe not the dress up part, I hated to dress up as a kid. Anyway, for today’s blog I wanted to do something with Ufufy and Halloween. And since the original Ufufy don’t have any Halloween or Fall related plushies. I had to make something up. And why not dress them up with some Halloween add ons that you can easily make and add. Quick but fun, I hope you’ll like it! If you don’t have Ufufy’s, HERE you can find the patterns I made so far!

♥ Dressing up!

Now for the fun part, dress up you Ufufy’s! Since I didn’t want to sew the parts on, I used wire that I folded in half, and attach the parts that way. So I can remove it later when Halloween is over.
For the mummy, simply wrap it around your ufufy.
Witch Hat can be simply put on top.
Devils headband is also very straight forward, put it on their head.
And I added the pumpkins, simply cause they are cute, but they are also small enough to put on a headband, I made a green base of the devils headband and the sewn the pumpkin on.

I hope you had fun with today’s pattern. And if you made some, please, show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I love to see what you create!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

♥ Assembling Spidey

Whenever I assemble Amigurumi’s, I always like to use sewing pins first, this way I can move parts around until I am happy, then I’ll sew them on.

For this one there isn’t too much sewing. You just have to sew Spidey his legs on. And that’s it.
If you like, you can stitch on a bit of white around his eyes, I found they didn’t show too well without on this yarn. And this makes him even cuter!

I hope you had fun with this Spidey pattern today, and if you did, I would love to see what you made! You can show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week with another spooky craft!

♥ Halloween Amigurumi’s

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! The spooky month started! Yay! I love it, although we don’t really celebrate it here in the Netherlands. Over the years I have made quite some amigurumi’s that are Halloween related, so I want to list them down in today’s blog. Maybe some you’ve missed or forgot about. So, let’s refresh our memory!

♥ Bat

This bad isn’t scary at all, but who said that all Halloween related stuff had to be scary?! It’s fun to change things up. I think it will look cute to hang a bunch in the air at a party, maybe if someone walks into them, they might get scared anyway if they didn’t expect them!

♥ Bunny Pumpkin

What’s Halloween without Pumpkins?! I just can’t imagine that. I love to decorate, craft and also cook with them. They are multifunctional! I think this year I need to buy a good pumpkin to carve it out. Not sure what yet tho. I will figure that out later. For now enjoy this Amigurumi pattern, at least you don’t have to watch it if it gets moldy xD.

♥ Cat Ghost

How cute is this cat ghost?! I’ve made 3 in go last year, oops xD. And I actually feel like making more.. I guess I will. They are just so easy to make!

Cat Ghost

♥ Ghost

This little ghost is using the most basic and well know crochet technique, granny square! I sometimes like to play around with stitches like this. That’s how this pattern came alive as well. I usually just have too many ideas.

♥ Hiding Witches

Yes, shy witches exist as well! Didn’t know that right?! These love to hide under their hat and are really friendly, they actually just wanna help you but don’t know how to do that. Maybe we should give them a little hand! These you can make in all sorts of colors, and let them sit anywhere. I think it’s fun decoration around this time of year!

Hiding Witches

♥ Jack Skellington

I think I should add Jack here as well. I really should watch the movie again since I forgot a bit where it was about. But the Nightmare Before Christmas just shouldn’t be left out here!

♥ Pumpkin Ghost

This one is also made using the Ghost pattern, same series. Just added a Pumpkin instead of a round head. It already gives such a different vibe! I love this one the most, I think, out of this series. Probably because of the pumpkin head that makes it just that little different. I love things that are different!

♥ Witch Ghost

Just like the Ghost pattern, is this one from the same series I made. With a few chances you can make something look completely different. You can make so many variations. You don’t always have to make a completely new pattern. 

I hope this post refreshed your mind and that you are able to make some of these patterns you might have forgotten. These are all fun to make, and pretty easy as well! If you made some of those patterns, I hope you will show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY. I always love to see what you created using my patterns.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle

♥ Assembling

Whenever I assemble Amigurumi’s, I always use sewing pins first. This way you can move parts around until you are happy, then sew it on.

First, put the green band around his body, right after the purple part, sew this on. The add his legs, White in front, Purple at the back.
The ear cover go on both sides of his face, on the purple part. I always like to use references to check where everything goes.
Last, let’s assemble his wings. The Green tips of the wings, slide those over the wing part and sew those on, keep in mind that the white and red part for both are facing forward when the green tips are on the outsides. So those will be mirrored when assembled. Then sew the middle part of the wings to the body, it will be partly on green and partly on white. Now the tip/wing combination you will sew to the middle part.
Make his face, I use yarn for his nose, and felt for the eyes, eyebrows and Chin.

That was it for today, some parts might feel a bit confusing, but if you have no clue how to do it, let me know and I’ll try to help you out! If you made Buzz Lightyear, show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY I’d love to see what you created!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!
