Bookbinding/Fan binding for beginners by... a beginner PART ONE
SO YOU WANNA BE A FANBINDER EH!?
RIGHT! so it felt like maybe it might be sorta kinda helpful to put something about a 'how to do the thing' together. Buckle in this is going to be a ride and a half. Edit as of November 16th 2023 The Master List for EVERYTHING is
HERE
SO, first thing is first- if you're fan binding there is a bit of etiquette to follow. But it is just good manners to ask permission to fan bind the fic you're interested in. See if the author has a FAQ available where they state the Yay or the Nay. Submit a DM or a comment. But as a note of disclaimer- this is for PERSONAL USE ONLY. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE SOLD ANYWHERE. LOOKING AT YOU ETSY FAN FIC SELLERS THAT CAN GET EVERYONE INTO A FUCK TON OF TROUBLE. That is a breech of fair use laws. Don't breech fair use laws. Don't be a dick.
If you happen to have a EPUB or PDF copy of a fic that has been deleted and you wish to bind it or if you receive no response to the author in question, nod your head, know that you did your best and proceed on with the project and make your fic to put on your shelf. Sleep well knowing you did your best and you can do nothing else.
But if you receive a Nay- don't be a dick honour the author's choice and plop the fic on your ereader and call it good.
Now that we got that all out of the way. ONWARD!
MATERIALS! Musts: (The optional materials will be marked as "OP") Access to a Word processor Printer with duplex printing (It prints on both sides of the page) Fic Printer Paper- regular printer paper is FINE if you're being budget conscious. But if you'd like to splurge:
Hammermill Copy Paper But the Most bang for your buck is Church's Paper
Please note: These are US based links, and I am going from what and where I am located you might have to go to a local paper shop. If you want your book to feel very book-like see if your paper shop can take 11 x 17 paper and cut it in half for you which yields 8.5 x 11 paper on the short grain (paper has a grain there is a stiff side and a floppy side, much like fabric, by cutting the paper in half it makes it more 'floppy' and thus more book like)
a punch cradle I use one made by HoneyMinCo - or some sort of punch guide
Awl
Glue- Elmer's Glue All, Tacky, Lineco , PH Neutral all will do what you need it to do
Waxed linen thread
Curved Needles
Book press- you can make these for cheap with wooden cutting boards, bolts and wing nuts.
A brush you don't mind getting glue all over or you can use a silicone face mask brush like this hell I even use my fingers at times
box cutter or any sort of cutting tool, rotary tool
scissors
metal rulers help
spacers (Not necessary but helpful to have you can also DIY this for cheap) OP
Davy Board/Chip Board/Book Board AKA dense AF cardboard
and some sort of thick paper- like a cardstock
bone folder - butter knives also work in a pinch
Recommendations:
For Printers- Epson ECO Tanks are the best bang for your your buck ink wise and has duplex printing. Inkjet and colour options. Some binders swear by laser printers for speed and the general look for the final product but use what you have. Just make sure you have extra ink on hand.
The upfront costs can be pretty steep but a lot of the materials can be steep but you can get crafty and raid a dollar store and charity shops.
Up Next- How to get a Fic from AO3 to your word processor and how to format a document to get it ready for printing and likely more links, and some people to watch on TikTok or Youtube.
Edit: 11/1/2023:
There is a Fan Binding Starter Kit Found here

👑 KING 👑
Context: Your baby sister has been feeling down ever since the disastrous trip to the village fair, so you and your co-conspirators decide to surprise her by creating new dresses for an exclusive DIY fashion show.
Bonus: It’s a success and another one of your siblings end up discovering a skill that they are mind-bogglingly good at.
Ft. 5 year old Uzumaki Nana, Nohara Kanna, Kyoko, Ryuu, and Yuji from In Sound Judgement by @negativeaperture
(Character interpretations and scenarios were inspired by the fic. They may not be canon to the version written by the writer and are strictly the artist’s speculations)
I imagine this taking place after the kids had to visit the central village fair for consumable produce, and Nana being an adult stuck in a child’s body got distracted by all the pretty wares and clothes that were being displayed. She had been admiring the dresses, when she was suddenly manhandled by an extremely irate and furious stall owner. A man, who not just a few moments ago had been acting really nice and fondly indulgent towards her.
Nana is saved by Ryuu before the screaming owner can throw her down, and hastily taken away from the gathering crowd. The last thing she sees before Ryuu covers her eyes and ears is the sight of the full-grown adult who had been taking sick satisfaction from her fear rapidly paling in front of a young black-haired child wearing an ANBU mask.
(Ps. The clothes were designed by our dumpster diving legend Kyoko. The expensive fabric scraps and flower pins that they found during their spree may or may not have been left by a concerned ANBU as an apology for being unable to intervene sooner.)
(Ps. Ps. Yes the ANBU was Itachi)
Ps. Ps. Ps. The photo looks blurry because the file size was too big for the post. Desktop users shouldn't face the issue while accessing the file. Apologies to everyone who views the app through the phone (like me).

Thoughts on the Valar and Maiar and their styles from someone who knows nothing about fashion beyond "diy everything".
Manwe and Varda - All white, very swoopy very fine fabrics, sometimes translucent, often skin tight with flowy skirts or sleeves. Not the most practical or comfortable looking but beautiful, white corsets and tiaras, lots of white glitter absolutely everywhere, on clothes, makeup, skin, hair, etc. Mostly minimalistic silver jewelry. White feathers appear a lot. (Wearing all white also helps to cover up the presence of bird shit on your clothes but they would never say this out loud).
Aule and Yavanna - Full on hippie look, bright colors and messy patterns, chunky jewelry with various wooden beads or gemstones, patterned headbands, large loose pants and shirts, lots of organic looking designs, goggles with tinted lenses, messy hair, usually done up in Maiar of Aule and loose in Maiar of Yavanna. Maiar of Aule also switch to leather work clothes and metal welding masks in the forges when required.
Orome and Vana - Who needs clothes anyway?? Lots of animal pelts flung hastily on, various pigments (blood) used as war paint like makeup, but otherwise not much in the way of style. Very practical clothing is favored, stuff which is loose, blends in with the forest, and is easy to move around in. They often wear animal masks carved out of wood with designs painted on.
Irmo and Este - Pastel colors, poppies are very popular both as crowns or as designs, dreamy, hazy patterns often depicting moths or owls, thick veils and shawls, long night gown like robes, bare feet or comfortable slippers, iridescent colors, pale pinks and oranges like sunsets, hazy greys, blanket like capes with moths wings on them.
Namo and Vaire - Black so dark you can't make out form, long veils that you can see nothing through, low hoods, no jewellery, no visible faces or hair or skin, dark silk gloves that are incredibly soft and make you want to take their hand, dark slippers that make no sound, the occasional glimpse of smokey breaths from behind the veil, no patterns, utter emptiness. Vaire weaves their clothes out of darkness and death itself.
Nienna - Extremely simple, drab clothing and colors, lots of greys and browns and dark greens, translucent veils which are often the only decorated part of the outfit and have patterns of weeping eyes or bones on them, thick comforting fabrics, often with hoods, the Maiar are always ready to shrug off a layer of their clothes to give to any who need it more.
Tulkas and Nessa - Clothes that lend themselves well to movement, whether that be dancing or fighting. Lots of bright reds and warm colors, often no shirts with loose pants, or close fitted sleeveless shirts. Many belts and loops to hang ribbons or weapons or maybe both from. Armored masks are often seen, in the shape of a deer to honor Nessa. Colorful ribbons and small metal charms for luck are braided into the hair.
Ulmo - Very few clothes but most are made out of dead sea animals. Skin tight suits of seal skin, shiny objects and seabird feathers as jewellery to attract fish, glittery body paint swirled around to mimic the shapes in seashells. Fish scales are sometimes stuck to the body or to clothing. Any fabrics used are rough and stiff to survive prolonged salt and sun exposure, and are thick enough to withstand stings from any sea animals. Sea urchin spines are stuck onto clothes as defense, and the most fierce Maiar have the fins and spines of dead lionfish stuck to their clothes, kept alive and potent through magic (mishaps and accidents happen much more frequently than anyone wants to admit). Extremely bright colors in everything that they wear, often for non everyday wear clothes many colorful frills and tendrils are attached to mimic the looks of certain fish and sea slugs.
Melkor - The original punk rocker of Arda. All black clothes, often form fitting, leather gloves and straps, silver or black jewellery everywhere, especially rings and piercings, teased gothic hair, masks with horrifying blank expressions and horns protruding out of them, heavy gothic or death metal makeup, metal spikes absolutely everywhere, thick heavy duty boots. Very gruesome designs often depicting severed bodyparts, bodies deformed through torture, and rotting bones. Parts of bodies are often mummified and used as accessories, especially hands, eyes, or entire heads.
Bonus third age Sauron because he was practically a Vala in his own right by then and Mordor followed his look - Steampunk, grotesque rotting bodies held together by beautifully polished metal parts, metal armor hammered into the very flesh of soldiers, lots of golds and reds, gold piercings and rings (hah), bodies half split open and their whirring mechanical insides visible through the flesh, steam rising from every surface, elegant, tight fitting black fabrics with red and gold accents.

timeline of Peter Parker's Spider-Man suits for my AU
(part... One...! Handmade Suits)
with copious notes for myself lol
(i made a separate post for his web shooters)
You can see the original versions of some of these designs (here) but this post is now of course the most up-to-date version (though I did trace parts of the original so I didn't have to do too much extra re-drawing, which is why parts of it look wonky 😅(cough cough teen peter))
MANY closeups under the cut:
—🕸️—
First up is Peter's early costumes:
Tumblr media
Peter's Very First Costume before he was technically Spider-Man. Now, is it stupid to have the name of your high school emblazoned across your back? Probably. But he only wears this for like... a month, month and a half. Extremely classic DIY shit, scrim eyes, no lenses, stolen tracksuit (no he's not evil in this au he's just a little monster) etc. This is what he's first using his Mk.I web shooters with before replacing them because they suck.
NOTE: TECHNICALLY WRONG: things are constantly shifting. not sure about web-shooters but this tracksuit technically isn't his costume for wrestling, it goes OVER his costume for wrestling, which is just a high-rise singlet over tights + the mask. but when he's not on the mat he's wearing the tracksuit to cover himself.
The shades of colors on this tracksuit match the shades on Flash's letter jacket btw. (posted here)
Tumblr media
Some running shoes he probably got at Payless—IDK if those exact shoes I was drawing were actually cheap but they look close enough to a pair I could sort of see on Payless' website in the wayback machine for 2003 so it's good enough for me XD
can see a peek of peter's glove there lol. probably should have drawn him wearing them but he probably takes them off when he wrestles anyway.
Tumblr media
And this is Peter's FIRST REAL Spider-Man costume which also uses his Mk.II web shooters (the ones that use a combo pulley-and-lever system) which he probably wears for the first time... the night his uncle dies. It's still very hand-made and the logo is screenprinted which means it is going to start cracking pretty quickly... multiple pieces much like 616... I mean this is basically the 616 costume. No face shell or anything so mouth and nose are kind of visible (and ears...) and it's basically standard lycra... not sports fabric or anything just basically thick-ass tights.
Still using scrim in the eyes but now with plastic lenses. Probably not ballistics grade though so... lol.
Tumblr media
he repurposes the sneaker soles from his pre-spidey suit into his new boots, probably just sewn right on (or glued maybe) and he just... wears shoes that are too big so he can fit them in (either that or keeps them in his bag and only puts them on when he changes out of his regular clothes, which is feasible for a guy with a 10 second quick-change time) (I guess he could also wear boot covers made out of the original sneakers that make them look like regular shoes 🤔) (arguably the funniest option)
changed my mind he just has separate boots and puts them on since most solutions require him taking his shoes off anyway and he has that super reflex stuff lol
I haven't really posted much/any fics where Peter's at this age, except "I like our second first kiss better" (though he's not really shown in the suit in the snippets of that) though maybe I'll mention a flashback of him in high school. Oh I guess he was wearing this suit briefly in "These are not the clothes [...]" since that shows him getting the symbiote after fighting Ock.
Tumblr media
this is of course the symbiote suit which Peter acquires in "These are not the clothes I had on when I went to bed" and keeps until "Last week [...]" So... 17-18 years old... (rather almost-18 to almost-19 years old as he gets it in the summer before college and loses it the summer between freshman and sophomore year of college)
it's more of a leather look than a latex look (esp compared to peter's black and white ff suit 10 years later) vs. Patricia's being more glossy
This stayed largely unchanged compared to the original version of these costumes I did.
Tumblr media
and obv since it's a symbiote it's expressive, in contrast to peter's other suits which all have either fixed lenses or in the case of the diy suit is just fabric lol
Tumblr media
not much to say here. sporty symbiote shoes.
Tumblr media
This is the suit he makes at 18 during the summer between freshman and sophomore year of college, which I only briefly mentioned in "Last week I started over again" and prob should have maybe mentioned a little more in detail XD
Without the symbiote and being several inches taller than he was at 17 (not to mention more uh... full-bodied) obviously he couldn't just wear his high school spidey suit so he had to make a new one, and this is it. Bonuses are that he's more experienced sewing, used a nice breathable (and textured matte finish) poly-spandex sports blend for all of his spandex (instead of dance lycra) so it's breathable, added under-arm mesh (i stumbled upon that by happenstance and thought it suited this look very well) and used a mix of embroidery and heat-transfer vinyl to decorate his suit. Also perforated vinyl inside his polycarbonate lenses.
I think the back spider is just some high quality spandex sewn onto the other spandex blends, but the chest spider is def heat transfer vinyl.
which means it may or may not melt if he goes into a burning building, now that i think about it...
The plan for this navy and crimson suit is for it to be his standard suit for most of his 20s.
Tumblr media
The boots are pretty simple here... They ARE boots though they're a little slimmer than most regular boots and the soles are removable through the magic of Rare Earth Magnets and possibly also his own sticking power and also I decided that he can stick through a few inches of material so I can justify his use of shoe soles but also tbh it makes sense even for regular barefoot wallcrawling to prevent him from just... peeling paint off walls and to not be totally fucked if it's a little rainy or dusty.
really i just like the way sporty spider-men with sporty soles look.
Not sure what the boot fabric is, I wrote "not spandex" but it could be like, lined or something. It's Something.
I didn't write this on the drawing but it's in my notes, the soles are dual-density with a polyurethane (PU) outer and an expanded thermoplastic polyurethan (ETPU) inner for durability, lightweight, good support and cushioning, etc. He doesn't have them like, in BULK but he has at least half a dozen replacement pairs of shoe soles for when they wear out.
Also didn't realize this when I was choosing materials but apparently PU is a thermoset which means it won't melt (only soften or burn) once it's set in shape which is super cool. TPU is a thermoplastic though, so it can remelt, but I'm not sure how ETPU would respond to high heat or flame since as an expanded foam it IS full of air bubbles (aka insulation) (then again, even FR treated foam insulation is usually considered a fire hazard...) —Well either way, I'm less worried about his shoes melting than I am about the rest of his suit (also the soles are removable so he can take them off if he needs to)
So basically, overall, This suit is NOT fireproof. Though polyester has a pretty high ignition and melting point (and polycarb is also pretty tough) it's not fire resistant or safe for fires because once you reach high enough temps it melts, so it's more likely to burn you more severely compared to natural fibers like cotton or silk. As you will see further down, Peter learns this the hard way in 2009.
Tumblr media
some material swatches just for vibes and a diagram which is mostly for my own benefit, when I was figuring out how to draw those God Forsaken webs. I think I figured out a way that works well for me though.
the fabric is mostly matte and semi-matte cause I find glossy or satin-finished untextured spandex to look kind of... cheap... (which is why i'm not a big fan of the TASM2 movie suit, even though I love the lenses) (i prefer TASM2 lenses and TASM1 suit even though peter's head looks like a basketball in the first movie) (also the crotch is so low,)
Anyway, Peter's mask is padded with a thin layer of foam as a compromise with the fact that most irl cosplayers use rigid face shells to get the silhouette right lmao but I don't want him to have a hard shell under his mask cause... spider-man kisses... LMAO
also just realized giving him underarm mesh for breathability could be considered an homage to the armpit webs... (which, obviously, are not present on these designs... because they are ugly.) that was not on purpose though.
—🕸️—
Numbah Two
it's only... two... well two and a half cause of the way this worked out XD Actually it was only ONE before but I was like, fuck it, idk what his first electro fight will even be and electro hasn't shown up at all but i'll toss in an electro-proof suit, too, why not.
First I wanted to mention his updated default duds though.
He's been using the same pattern as the one he drafted in mid 2006 for the blue and red for a few years at this point, so if it's damaged he just... makes a new one... has soles (and probably lenses tbh) that he bought probably half a dozen identical pairs of, etc. The life of sports fabrics, after all, is only a couple of years before it starts to lose shape (and also it keeps getting shredded) so. Replacements. and you know he shreds those shoes to bits. He's gonna be so good at sewing lol
But in early 2009, well, he does something dumb—which is, he runs into a burning building wearing head-to-toe polyester. It's not fire-resistant, def not certified FR, and in fact, this is partly due to the fact that it's PTFE (Teflon) treated to be non-stick and those two treatments typically don't play nice together. (Teflon itself is pretty heat resistant but from my googling it sounds like Teflon fabric treatment does not render fabric heat resistant, which i guess makes sense, like, it's still gonna melt in there...)
Tumblr media
So he runs into a burning building, ends up with something actively-on-fire falling onto him, and while it's not like, heavy or anything, it is direct heat and flame upwards of 900 degrees, well above the melting point of polyester and above the ignition point as well, so... he ends up with a third degree burn on his leg and many smaller first and second degree burns on the rest of his body from sparks melting tiny spots through his suit (as well as the vinyl heat transfer on his chest—the melting point of vinyl is only 200F, so even if he stays ground level (which he has to, because otherwise his polycarb lenses will hit their glass transition temperature (aka start to soften), and he knows this) it will likely be very hot or near melting directly against his chest (well, he has power mesh lining but that's really not enough to protect him from melting plastic)
Tumblr media
So.
(ignore the thong that's from the unstable molecule lineup)
When Peter remakes his suit in early 2009 after getting burned, he does it with some more... advanced materials. (expensive ones, RIP, maybe he stole them) (or, you know, maybe johnny hooks him up)
Still using polycarb lenses, cause they are still the most durable and heat-resistant eyewear protection you can get from what I can find online. AFAIK things like polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and polysulfone aren't really used for eyewear, and a lot of really heat resistant plastic is naturally opaque (or amber in the case of polysulfone) (and much more expensive) or has other significant drawbacks so, he can't just make Teflon lenses or whatever lmao.
BUT
he makes a spare mask with aluminized lenses instead of his perforated vinyl sandwich ones so he can have an Extra heat resistant mask in case of emergencies
Tumblr media
looks pretty slick if you ask me
As far as fabric goes, he switches to aramid fibers, which are more expensive but like... More durable than polyester spandex sports blends, more fire resistant, etc. and he knows Johnny Storm (like... budding friendship at this point) so Johnny can also probably hook him up with shit like racing gear, nomex hoods and the like.
I am considering Polartec's Power Stretch FR for later on but that was literally introduced in 2009 so Peter's def not using that yet, but afaict it's a rayon/modacrylic/aramid/spandex blend so I think Peter probably can find something that via like, Nomex/spandex blends and stuff, and Nomex itself has been around for a while.
also decided he switches to sewing the front spider on as well as the back spider.
anyway
next suit is Spidey Formalwear
Tumblr media
Peter makes this—well he makes the mask and gloves—to wear to Johnny's wedding when they are still both in their early 20s in 2010.
This isn't exactly the same as what happened w/ Lyja in the comics but Johnny's not in a very good place atm
Tumblr media
Peter can tell something's wrong but he can't figure out what it is (and neither can anyone else) It won't take long for Johnny to get a divorce though.
Anyway Peter's approach to formalwear as a weird 22 year old def falls under "if it's shiny, that makes it fancy" LMAO — i just thought it would be nice to take it a step further than tossing a tux on top of his regular suit, like, sure the stretch satin he got wasn't exactly expensive but he made the effort for his friend's wedding. He cares.
Tumblr media
Look at him, wearing patent leather shoes.
anyway onward
So in 2013 Peter makes an electro-proof suit 👀
Tumblr media
I put what some might consider an "unreasonable" amount of thought into this suit and indeed it's been driving me nuts for like three days trying to figure it out... but I finally figured it out.
it's a wetsuit. (actually, it's not, it's handmade, BUT it is a wetsuit pattern and materials, mainly double-layered neoprene rubber laminated with heat resistant fabrics)
That wasn't what was driving me nuts.
What was driving me nuts was the fact that I was trying to figure out how to get a conductive layer on top of it that didn't look like shit and wouldn't destroy my hand to draw.
Why? Well, it turns out that linemen working on power lines often wear conductive (so, ugly silvery gray) clothing to act as a kind of Faraday cage to protect them from arc flashes and other stray electrical outputs, in addition to usually insulated gloves and boots.
And I thought... I want to do that.
And then I spent a lot of time trying to make it work in a way that wasn't ugly and I was like, oh wow, they make conductive metal screen printing ink? and then i was like, oh never mind this shit is $200 for 100mL MINIMUM and while peter has a real job, spending hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars on nanoparticle ink is completely out of the question, friendship with the f4 aside (that would have been the easy way out XD) (i mean, they still might be helping him out w/ the neoprene hookup etc)
(at least the safety glasses are relatively inexpensive.... >things peter says to himself at 1 am while blind-stitching panels of neoprene together)
so i was like, ugh, maybe stainless steel thread? but it was just ugly.
BUT THEN
I REALIZED
Peter can just make his own conductive colloidal silver (and copper, and carbon black) screen printing ink at home and it will be the correct kind to print on synthetics (plastisol, instead of aqueous) and cost him like. $50. a FRACTION of the price. granted, i didn't factor in the cost of stretch additives etc but it's still significantly cheaper and Peter with a BS in engineering absolutely has the knowledge and equipment to do that in like. his kitchen. so that solved my problem and I solved the ugly dilemma by just having him use three different kinds of conductor for the different colors.
Now, is this a realistic and practical way to make a Faraday suit? I SINCERELY doubt it.
But it's fine. comic books. now he's got a fully insulated base layer with a semi-conductive top layer to guide electricity across the surface (rather than scorching it) (but it IS fire resistant neoprene) and more importantly it looks cool.
(i'm sure that was expensive too but a bunch of neoprene is probably still cheaper in the long run than buying a quarter gallon's worth of conductive ink (several thousand dollars in total) so it feels more justifiable to me that he could save up some side money to custom order nomex laminated rubber)
so basically, tldr it's an insulated faraday suit that also happens to be (mostly) identical to your average double-lined wetsuit.
Tumblr media
Here's his shoes. They're grounded (which i think is mostly for anti-static purposes irl but i figured it would fit here well, like, oh the screen printed conductive dots guide the electricity over the aramid surface and to the grounding strip) and the soles are vulcanized rubber like his lens frames.
aaaand johnny gave him some expensive sweat wicking fire resistant racecar driving underwear to wear under there since it's sweaty and i kept seeing websites about linemen's protective gear mentioning FR base layers
Tumblr media
it just so also happens to feature several EXTREMELY prominent Adidas logos (this is real btw you can google "Adidas Climacool Nomex racing underwear" and they existed in 2013 which i know because being unreasonable as i am i used the wayback machine to look at a racing supply website to double check because I REALLY wanted him to use the adidas one specifically because of the Climacool part on account of the fact that he is encased in several millimeters of completely non-porous rubber and he IS going to sweat like a pig in there especially in the middle of summer)
(also because i think it's funny to cover him in adidas logos)
lol
oh he also makes a set of Mk. III-E (for electro) web shooters that are double-insulated with a new formula of non-conductive, anti-static webbing (his normal webbing is extremely the opposite of both of those things) (and very flammable) so that Electro can't shock him through his web shooters.
aaaand
that's it for post one
post two (Peter's unstable molecule suits gifted by the Fantastic Four) is >HERE<

2023 Fashion Predictions
Happy 2023! I've seen these trend prediction videos on my TikTok fyp, and they're so fun to see. Many of these trend predictions could just be things the creator wants to incorporate into their personal style. Now let's get into some of my predictions!
Seashells + pearls in accessories
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, pearls have been having a big moment right now, so I definitely envision seashells being added to the mix to emphasize that iridescent look. I predict we are moving towards a mix between the dark siren aesthetic, and a more venus/aphrodite type of beach style. A mix of elegant and dark, similar to what we saw with balletcore. It'll also be really fun to DIY (I actually made a seashell choker similar to popular heart ribbon chokers going around).
Mix and Match Jewelry
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I want to see more gold + silver jewelry, velvet or chord chokers with a long gold necklace, gem necklaces with velvet or silk ribbons, lace ribbons with gold necklaces, etc. It's a fun juxtaposition, especially at a time when people are exploring their style outside of the imaginary "rules of fashion". Mixing metals and fabrics together will be a fun way to play with different tones, textures, and shapes.
Peachy tones
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm feeling like this will be big spring/summer as the peach tones will complement everyone's sunkissed skin. I can see it being in crochet, ruffled, silk, pleated, and mesh tops often. Style-wise, it could work with both silver and gold accessories. A muted peach that leans more toward nude, would look good with silver jewelry, diamonds, or even pearls. The warmer, more orange-toned peaches would pair nicely with a stack of gold jewelry.
3-D floral details
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I know the big floral chokers have started to make their way onto the scene. Because of that, floral pins, necklaces, and straps will be a fun addition to this. This is gonna be another trend that will be easy to customize and DIY because all it takes is some glue or a sewing needle to turn your basic items into a floral statement piece.
Magenta with dark tones
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love magenta clothing, it's so stunning and really draws you in. This year I want to see people play around with the color more, maybe pair it with darker colors and neutrals. I'm talking deep red, black, brown, and silver. Baby pink has been pretty big right now with the ballet core and coquette style, I'm ready for magenta to have a similar moment.
3-D heels/mules
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Little charms, butterflies, flowers, etc. right at the top of the shoe is gonna be a fun way to let the shoes be the star of the show. I can see these being the next thing people look for when buying heels secondhand. Either that or people will get crafty and DIY their own little 3-D heel charms.
Play purses
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Printed purses with a bunch of embellishments and funky hardware or plain purses with a bunch of keychains and accessories are gonna be a great addition to any simple outfit.
Asymmetrical drapey/tattered hems
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Going along with this transition into Venusian kinda beachside mermaid aesthetic, the long hems that kinda look like a tail will make for an interesting silhouette. *Bonus prediction is that green will be a pretty frequent color used in this style*
Face Masks
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It goes with every outfit, it keeps your face warm in the winter, and most importantly, it protects you and others from the spread of covid and other illnesses! To me, that sounds like a staple accessory that should not be left behind. I've seen plenty of cute disposable face mask designs, ombre, graphic print, cartoon characters, or just solid colors that complement the rest of your outfits.
In conclusion...
I'm excited to see what I myself and many others will be exploring in this new year. This year everyone is going to continue to have a lot of personalized/customized items (crocheting, sewing, bejeweling, embroidering, etc.)

Our weekend is off to a pretty good start! Last night Rose and I went to see a theater production a friend of ours participated in--it was last minute so there wasn't time for cosplay but Rose picked out this outfit and I think it's really cute on her!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last night we finished up a Ironman/Doctor Strange fanbaby as a surprise for a friend of ours! Unfortunately her shoes are still in transit (the first pair we ordered literally crumbled when we tried to put them on her, we did not read the description well enough rip) but other than that she's done! No name yet since we're going to let friend name her but she turned out so cute!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some pictures of her details! The belt is actually a piece from a pair of boots that we were throwing out (handy diy trick, if you have falling apart shoes that need to go that have straps with buckles cut off that part the shoe, you just stitch the two ends together in the back and voila, instant actually functional belt!)
Tumblr media
Today we're just kind of taking it easy to rest from all the moving stress. We did a mini spa day--I did a face mask and Rose got a magic eraser bath--and now we're just being lazy, we're watching the anime God Troubles Me on Netflix (very lighthearted and easy to watch, I highly recommend it!) Oh and we placed an order for fabric for our eventual Disney World trip! Rose thought it would be appropriate to show off her Duffy and Friends collection, it's getting pretty big! :D
We hope that everyone is having a great weekend ^^

POLLEN CARE
Howdy all!!! I have extremely annoying pollen allergies that come up out of absolutely fucking nowhere, and so I’ve had to get myself a little bit of a regimen to help lessen the awful symptoms I get lol. I thought I’d share because it’s pretty damn foolproof, and I always feel better after. These are in no particular order, but think logically about what order you’re doing things in so you aren’t stirring up more pollen after you’ve cleaned yourself up.
(Will be updated)
• change into clean clothes
(Pollen likes to live on your fabrics. The sooner you get the fabrics off and in quarantine the better you’ll feel.)
• take a shower
(Self explanatory. Gets the pollen off your body and hair, and opens up your airways and drains sinuses. Good stuff!)
• wash your face with cold water
(This is already a great tip for resetting your body, look up mammalian dive reflex. My fav coping strat. anyways get any pollen residue away from your face holes!!)
• change your bedsheets, or at least your pillow
(Pollen likes fabrics. If it settles in the one that’s right by your face and body for several hours a day you will not have a good time.)
• shut the windows in your house
(Self explanatory. Also don’t go outside.)
• invest in an air filter, or DIY one out of a box fan and a dust filter
(To make a DIY filter, tape the filter to the back of the fan. Air it intakes will be cycled through and come out clean)
• mask up!!! pollen can’t fit thru fabric or any sort of medical mask!!! genuinely I’ll wear it around the house
(Self explanatory. Love masks)
• flo-nase my beloved.
(Flo-nase does this cool thing where it constricts your nose’s blood vessels to the point that large pollen particles can’t fit and just get flushed out without triggering an allergic reaction!love that stuff)
• have one room in the house where windows are never open so there’s a “safe room” from any pollen
(mine is my bedroom! All of my clothes get taken off and put in the bin the second I step in the door, and my bed is on the other side of the room)
• wash your dog!!!
(If your animal goes outside they’re picking up pollen too. Give your dog a bath or at least a really good brushing before letting it inside)
• water drink the water
(Water helps clear your throat and also helps replenish the fluids you’re losing from post nasal drip.)
• Avoid fruits, especially unwashed ones
(Fruits especially need pollen to grow. They can have pollen residue in or on them. Always wash your fruit!!!!!!)
• silently get mad at tree sexism
(this is a real thing. It makes me furious and it is the genuine reason pollen allergies suck the way they do)
