So many hours it took me to complete the newly invented double knit twisted rib bind off on this cowl! The bind off was developed for me by a member of one of my fibre communities and they did such a fantastic job as it is stretchy and completely matches the invisible cast on. I put it over a pool noodle raft to block so it will dry nice & smooth all the way around.
Puppet build of your favorite blue haired, yellow fellow!
Sewing on his skin!
Putting his body together like legos!
Making his hair!
(This part was pain and torture. Many mistakes happened along the way while trying to make it decent as possible....)
Finished results so far!
(I made adjustments to his mouth and eyelids. If you're wondering what is Wally laying on, it is Eddie's fabric.)
Was making this little squirt for two weeks now. All I need to do now is to make his clothes. I made Wally look like his plushy version of himself, and how @partycoffin draws him! I kind of took creative liberties into my own hands for this puppet, it is my first time making one! I like how he looks so far, sure he looks a bit scrappy at best but he's cute to me!
I hope you guys like this little peanut! @:) <3
Hold the front door. These two pictures look familiar...
Not every diy project has to or needs to look good
Especially bc of social media there can be pressure to make every diy project look professional. But thats not necessary! Things can look ugly! Utility and having fun making it is more important than it looking nice.
These are some of the diys of mine that are ugly (or obviously handmade lol)
The belt bag is a project im proud of but its obv not professional quality, my hemming is atrocious and my pin cushion? Ugliest thing ive ever made
And thats perfectly okay!
I use these things everyday, and i had fun sewing them. Nitpicking each flaw wouldve ruined it and made me not wanna sew
(If you're wondering why I don't have Victim, it's because I can't find grey pipe cleaners)
I have not yet figured out how to make the solid heads, I'll make another post with them when I do. Currently experimenting with puff balls.
Details below the cut!!!
Full disclaimer, I'm not good at writing tutorials so hopefully the pictures help
You're gonna need 3 pipe cleaners, I'm using 3 different colors for easier visibility
Start by figuring out what size head your stick figure is going to have, and twist the end around in a loop
Twist some of the excess back around the loop for thickness and stability
Fold the excess back over to make the torso, make it a little bigger than the size you actually want
Twist the torso pieces around itself for stability. If you have extra, wrap it back around the head/neck for extra stability. There still should be a tiny hole at the bottom where it was folded over
Insert a second pipe cleaner in the hole at the bottom of the torso, and fold both halves into legs
Like the torso, twist the halves of the legs together for stability. Then you can either curl the extra around the torso for stability or clip it off, up to you
Twist a third pipe cleaner around the upper torso, and repeat the steps used for the legs
And voila, you've got a small pipe cleaner hollow head!
Feel free to use this tutorial to make your own Chosen, Dark, Second, or any OCs!
