DIY Kawaii Pet!

Aloha! (\(∵◕◡◕∵)(\
As you know, I have previously expressed my love for making things. The 5 main reasons why making things is awesome are;

1. It's much cheaper! You see a scarf for £7 while you can make your own scarf using materials you already have for much less. Same goes for other things! For instance, a keyring might sell for £8 but you can make your own for much cheaper. A decent sized batch of polymer clay usually  costs around £5-10! (Prices may vary according to size)
2. You get a super-cool, rare object that NOBODY else has! As a result of making your own things, a rare object is in your hands that only YOU have.
3. It kills time! Making your own things is the perfect cure for boredom, with some ambitious projects even taking weeks! There's plenty of variety- whether you need to find a way to kill 15 minutes with something simple or a couple of hours, you are likely to find what you need.
4. You choose it ALL. Sure, store stuff is often awesome. However, do you wish that skirt was just a little softer, or do you think a heart pattern would have looked good on a hat? Making things puts you in complete control- you can choose how frilly you want to make something, or how bright you want the colours in your keyring to be. Making things is also a great way of getting stuff you can't find in stores!
5. It's the best gift- handmade stuff is always victorious over factory-made! Sure, those store birthday cards might have gorgeous art or funny jokes, but nothing beats a card you took your time and effort to make. Plus, it's much cheaper. I know for one that a batch of card/paper costs less than some of those cards!  Making gifts is totally awesome, too. For instance, handmade friendship necklaces or even a stuffed toy. (Yes, you can make stuffed toys! It takes a LOT of soft filling though U◡U)

Back in early  March, I made myself a REALLY cute fluffy pet thing. It was pink, and it lived in my school blazer pocket ^-^ It watched everyone as I walked around the school, it watched my teachers and watched me eat my lunch xD
However, on the bus back home one day, I LOST it! I was really sad because the material piece I used was my only one, but now I have some more of a similar material and I made myself another friend!
It's not exactly the same, it's a bit more fragile, but anyway...

Isn't that cute? *o*

I have some more of that material in bright blue, and I might make myself some more :D

It looks a bit like a hamster, hehe.

DIY Fluffy Pet

Difficulty: Easy

Time required: 5-15 minutes

This fluffy pet makes a great ( rather kawaii!) companion, and looks great poking out of shirt pockets ^3^

It's also a great gift for friends and family, and can also work as part of a nice birthday present for small children. Especially girls! To make it even better, make your own set to go with the pet- food, toys, etc. and maybe even a house! owo

Looks fantastic as a decoration and is a good collectible. Makes a good trading item too!

SO VERSATILE.

1. Gather your materials- a length of fluffy material (can be found in craft and sewing stores, you can also use a bit of an old boa if it's small enough), eyes, scissors, glue and a pom-pom for the tail. The tail is optional. You can also add things such as pipe cleaners, etc. to customise your friend! :D

2. Cut some of the fluffy material off the size of your friend. You choose the size, but the one I have is around 8-9cm long. You can make babies, and also adults. Haha XD 

You can also cut a rather long piece, fold it in half then put it together (sewing, glue...) to have a wider friend.

3. Spread glue evenly on the back of the eyes (if the eyes don't have adhesive already) and then firmly glue them on to your friend.

4. Put a bit of glue on the pom-pom and stick it on for the tail. Add any other accessories and you're done!

Don't be afraid to give your pet a personality! :D 

You can also make food for it, or buy little figures. A house is quite easy to make, too. You can make it from card, or even from wood if you are experienced!

Experiment, and have fun with your adorable pet! ^-^

They make fantastic gifts :D

Another cute doll I made on Doll Divine! :3

Of course you can make clothes without a sewing machine!

Hello! ~(∘3∘)~
So err... I don't have much to talk about right now! ^-^
I haven't packed for the plane just yet, so I can't talk about that...
Today wasn't particularly exciting, either o^o
Hmm.
I'm just going to write about random things that come to my head, and then I'm going to see where this post ends up <(❂u❂)>
First off, if I DO get to go to Central London before leaving for vacation, it's most likely going to be on Thursday,Friday or maybe Saturday. Sunday... nope, and Monday or Tuesday? Ha, dream on! I will be too busy getting ready for vacation and there won't be much point anyway ^-^
...But if I don't get to go then I'm hoping to go for my birthday, so that's in October.
How big can my wishlist get? O_O
Perhaps I can leave out some stuff, save some for later or just get them another time :]

I was looking at a website and I came across a bit of text saying you can't make your own clothes without a sewing machine...
I'm going to debunk that! ;3;
Okay, sewing machines make it WAY more easier to sew your own clothes, but how do you think people got some of their clothes before the late 18th century?

Look at that fine 16th century dress. All before sewing machines were invented!

Sewing Machines just do the sewing part, which humans are capable of doing. It's just that sewing machines are way faster and efficient, but with enough time and effort you can do what sewing machines do ;3;

Well,almost. Maybe not exactly the same, but similar, right? :]

So, I'm thinking of making my own clothes at some point? :O

No, I'm not crazy.

Not this Summer, but maybe if I get some material and get used to sewing I can try making a skirt.

Then a shirt! :OOO

Anyway, that same site said you can't make a skirt without a sewing machine. Wrong! :O

There were some pretty good-looking skirts in the FOURTEENTH CENTURY, way before the sewing machine was invented.

Would you look at those posh dresses! Before, like, 1755. 

So umm...

I want the skirt to be REALLY CUTE.

Made out of CUTE FABRIC.

Then I'm going to sew the hem ;3; 

More sewing. Which will probably hurt my fingers a LOT.

After a few hours... going to add ribbons and frills and pretty stuff! :o

And then... I'm going to  be  SO PROUD! XD

So umm... here's what I know that's happening over the next few days ;3;

Tuesday- I'm going to the doctor's to pick up my medication and on the way we need to buy some stuff :3

Wednesday- I know that my mum is going to work, so I can't go to Central London ;o;

Thursday- Nothing so far, hope to go to Central London!

Friday- Nothing either ;o;

Saturday- ;o;

Sunday- Maybe going to the car boot! :D

Monday- Vacation prep

Tuesday- Vacation Prep

Wednesday- VACATION! :D

Eh, of course- I'm going to squeeze some fun stuff in there if I can. Which will result in interesting blog posts!

I know that some people already started school today O_O

School in August seems a strange idea to me, but I'm quite sure school in July and June is a strange thing to others too! ^-^

Like...

Me: Oh, my last day of term was the 18th of July. ~(=^u^=)~

Person: Wha-? I finished in May O_O

Me: O_O When do you start?

Person: Today

Me: O_O

Person: What about you?

Me: September 3rd >:D

CUTE STUFF CUTE STUFF MAKE EVERYTHING CUTE

FROM YOUR UMBRELLA TO YOUR PHONE CASE

DA DA DA ♫♪♫ > ~(◕◡◕)~<

Yup, that's it for today ^-^

See you all tomorrow, and don't forget that making your own stuff is super awesomely amazingly epic! :3

You can make a super-rare, one-of-a-kind object! :O

Bye bye!
