The Giving Bunny Project!

 

I don't know how, but I stumbled upon The Giving Bunny Project

Started by Urban Threads

 

This is a project where you take their template and create little stuffed bunnies.

 

 

After you sew up your bunnyand give it a face you attach a tag

 

 

You leave the bunnies anywhere and everywhere, for people to find, spreading love and joy all across the world!

 

Instructions:

 



 

Check out their website and spread The Giving Bunnies!

New Mini BJDs!

 

A group shot of all my girls that haven't been adopted or listed yet

All original designs without any molds being used, but hopefully one day I will create a doll worthy of being cast in resin.

 





 

Robotica

She's my smallest BJD yet! Sadly, I ran out of ink in my special pen so I couldn't finish her detailing, I will be getting a new one soon though to complete her!

 

Fauna

 

This is my little faun, I tested a new technique on her, and it worked really well so I think I'll start using it on all of my dolls to make things easier and neater

 

Mystery Girl

My first ever human! The poor thing's legs refuse to stay straight though so she's just a doll for sitting

 





New Handmade Ball Jointed Dolls!

 

I'm currently working on a few tiny BJDs. A little faun named Fauna, a robot girl named Robotica, and a mystery girl (aren't my names creative?) These dolls will be making their appearance soon, along with my first three, you can see the improvement with each girl!

 

*Notice! For my birthday I am getting a new BJD that I will begin practicing faceups on with proper materials, if things go well you might see faceup commissions I'm the future...

Mini Pincushion Tutorial!

 

 

 

This is a tutorial for a mini pincushion in a thimble charm. It can be worn as a necklace or just to sit there next to you while you sew. They make for a very cute homemade gift for anybody who sews.

 

What you'll need:

1. Thimble
2. Scissors
3. Needle
4. Thread
5. Jump ring*
6. Pins
7. Metal hole punch*
8. Hot glue gun
9. Glue sticks
10. Fabric
11. Filling, can be cotton or stuffing or even scrap fabric

*Optional, only needed if you want to make the pincushion into a charm

 

Step One:

Punch a hole into your thimble with your metal hole punch.

 

Step Two:

Cut a circle out of your fabric

The circle should be about the size of a silver dollar or slightly larger

 

Step Three:

Sew around the edge of your fabric

 

Step Four:

Place your filling in the center of the fabric

 

Step Five:

Pull the thread tight

 

Step Six:

Secure where you pulled the thread tight so it doesn't pop back open

 

Step Seven:

Use plyers or your fingers to open the jump ring

 

Step Eight:

Attach the jump ring in the hole

 

Step Nine:

Put a ring of hot glue around the inner rim of the thimble

 

Step Ten:

Stick the ball into the thimble
