This amigurumi is one of them, and would love to be part of your life.

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.

Make a circle of the ‘bow’ part, and sew this. Do the same with the middle part of the bow, but sew it around the ‘bow’. Then sew the bow completed to the top of the wreath. With a bit of Black yarn, create his Mouth
If you want to hang it, don’t forget to add a loop to the top.

I hope you enjoyed today’s pattern! I think it’s adorable. If you decided to make any of the blogmas amigurumi, please show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see what you make using my patterns.

♥ Spring Wreath from Scratch

9 april 2020 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! I love making wreath’s, they just give that little extra to your home. And the fun thing is that you can make them however you like. Since we had some cuttings from the garden that I didn’t wanna waste. I decide to make a wreath with it. And I’ll gonna try to explain to you how to make your own. And also give you an idea how you can decorate it with links to tutorials I used.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ 100-200cm Twigs, preferably those that are flexible, like from a Willow. Freshly cut twigs are easier to work with. It depends on what you go for on how many twigs you need, but make sure to have plenty.
♥ Pruning Shears.
♥ Things to decorate, like flowers, greens, succulents, etc.

Tutorial

Start with one of you longest twigs, keep your hand at the thick side and bend this one carefully in a circle to the size you want. Mine is about 22cm. When you are happy with the size, wrap the end of the twig around itself. This way it will hold it shape, sorta, without the need of using glue or wire.

Don’t worry if your circle isn’t perfect, you can adjust that along the way.

Now start adding more twigs, I always added the thick side of the twig, at what you choose to be the back, and wrap it around the base circle you made. If you keep the same flow as the first one, you get one like I made. But you can also make it more messy if you prefer. Let’s just have fun and see what you can make with materials from nature!

Like I said, along the way you can adjust the shape into a more perfect circle, keep checking what your wreath needs. Add twigs until you are happy with the size and thickness of the whole thing.

And that’s basically it for a basic wreath! it’s not that hard, just need to be careful not to break the twigs. But practice makes perfect!

Decorating

For decorating you can use anything that suits you, I chose to make flowers from felt and add those. Since it’s spring, I wanted to use more pastel tints and flowers that would bloom now. These are the ones I made, some kind of Rose, Anemone and Daisies.

Here are the tutorials I used, but as usual, I didn’t really followed them along and just modified to whatever I wanted xD. I’m always this person that just start something and then follow along my own rules. Haha.

I hope you will have fun making your own wreath!! I love to make things from scratch and be happy with the end result. Plus this really makes you home looks happier!

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Recycling: Easter Wreath

29 maart 2018 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies!!

Almost easter and one last easter craft. Well I made it for easter this time around, but the base you can use all year round. I always loved this technic, Paper Wicker. If you don’t know what that means, it’s a recycle craft, using old newspapers. Let’s make a wreath of old newspapers!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ A bunch of old newspapers.
♥ (Acryllic) Paint.
♥ School Glue.
♥ Hot Glue Gun.
♥ Brush.
♥ Something slim and round, like a skewer.
♥ Anything to decorate, think of ribbon, easter bunny, eggs, etc.

DIY

Start with the newspapers, Cut them in strokes with a width of about 10cm. It’s totally fine if they are wider of smaller. The length doesn’t matter, just take the length of the newspaper you have.

Now take your skewer and start at one of the points of you newspaper strokes. Roll them as tightly as you can and glue the point close with school glue. Let it dry for a bit and go on to the next one. You need a lot of these rolls, I ended up using about 100.

The next step is optional, it really depends on which look you want your wreath to have. But paint all the newspaper rolls in the color you like. I used white acryllic paint and gave it about 2 coats of paint. let everything dry very well now before you move to the next step. (What I figured is that you maybe should skip painting at this point, and spray paint the finished wreath at the end. but I am not sure if that will work out).

Wreath making

Now it’s time to actually make the wreath, take 4 rolls of newspaper and stick a roll of tape (so it’s double sided) on your floor or desk, wherever you have enough space. Make a cross like the picture below. Set something, a tube, in the middle of the cross, where the tape is, something round, I used my make up remover xD. Add a 5th newspaper roll, glue the point under one of the rolls, and put the rest of the length over the next roll, along your tube in the middle, as shown in the picture. Let this one dry well before you continue.

The roll you added last, the 5th you glued on, lays over one of the 4 you started with, fold the one under the 5th one, over the 5th along the tube. The next roll that lays under because you just folded one, fold that one over along the tube. So everytime you fold one over the other, it lays on another roll, the one that’s under you always fold over that one. keep on doing this until you have enough length to make the wreath.
When a roll is finished, add a new one, you can slide them into each other with some glue and simple continue going.

When you finished the lenghth you like, and you are able to make it round as a wreath, glue the ends on both sides, to the inside with some hot glue. Now you can also glue both ends together with hot glue and hold for a bit. When the glue is set and you like the shape, you can go on to the fun part! Decorating time!

Decorating

You can decorate your wreath the way you like. I used some yarn and wrapped it around. Had a crochet bunny I made a long time ago, added that to the middle, and some eggshells and feathers to make the easter look complete. I kept it fairly simple, but you can make it as complicated as you like!

I hope you enjoyed this DIY! I would love to see what you created! #DelinleaDIY. And if anything isn’t clear, comment below or send me an email, I’m happy to help you out!

♥ Day 6: Mickey Wreath

6 december 2017 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies!

It’s Mickey Wreath time!! This easy, yet cute wreath is so much fun to make, and quit fast. You can use any color of garlands you want. The good thing with this DIY is that you probably have most materials at home already. So you can start right away! ^-^

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ A Red and a Gold Garland (about 270cm in length).
♥ Wire.
♥ Aluminum foil.
♥ Paper. (optional)
♥ Pencil. (optional)
♥ Hot glue gun and glue.
♥ Something to cut the wire with.

♥ How to make the Wreath

Start with drawing the shape you want, on to a piece of paper (I used 2 sheets of A4 and sticked them together). This template you will use to see if you bend the wire the right way. If you feel comfortable to bend the wire without template, go ahead!
The big circle of my Mickey head is about 20cm in section, to give you an idea how big mine is. Ofcourse you can make yours bigger or smaller.

Next you will start bending the wire, if you use a template place these underneath. Just follow the lines and twist the wire where needed (the 1st picture underneath is a small schedule where to start and where to end). To secure the wire where I twisted it, I added some tape, but you can totally skip that.

When you have the shape in wire you will start adding the aluminum foil around it, just add small strokes until you are happy with the thickness. I didn’t add to much, cause you need to keep in mind, that the garland will add to the thickness as well!

Now it’s time for the fun part! Wrapping the garlands around the base of wire and aluminum foil. Glue both of the garlands to the back of the base (at our starting point) and start wrapping it around. I did first a part of the big circle and then I did an ear and cutted it off and glued it to the base. Glued the Garlands to the base again and wrapped the rest of the big circle and did the other ear. When everything is covered with Garland you are pretty much done.

The only thing left to do is, make a hook of the left over of the wire at the top of the head. Just bend it down in the middel so you have your hook, add yarn to it and hang it wherever you like in your home! And now, while writing this, I’m like how cute would it look with some light around the wreath as well..hmm..

And a little bonus, I made some small wreath to hang in the tree! Just take 2 pipe cleaners of 30 and twist them together and just like with the wire, bend them in the shape you want and you are ready ^-^

Have a beautiful day everyone!
And don’t forget to show me your work with the #delinleaDIY

Danielle
