I had seen fidget rings on Amazon but did not wanna pay to get one, and after making some stuff with moving parts lately I figured out how to make a fidget spinner ring! It's actually less challenging then it looks to make one like I did. The video of the butterfly "spinning" is on my Instagram or in the link below: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUYrjIuHJs/?igshid=ZmMyNmFmZTc= Note: the video was made with one hand so it's not very good quality.]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2023 17:00:55 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/EFc816fdwQbOfkUKjwFKMA https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boECTFmyTKgnJ6A

Another push pencil that was more difficult to make then I thought. I used nail polish to color the lollipop topper. And layered paper to create the stick.]]> Sat, 03 Dec 2022 18:35:15 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boECEkawsGK38UA https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDQgJrLmq9LvQ
Inspired by my dreams, Video games and the woven band from the animated "Hunchback of Nortradame" Movie. The "map" is of a small fishing village or dockside town that's equivalent to down town where the pirate, and local sailor pubs would be. However, some of these pubs and night clubs are also "day safe" havens for the "light sensitive" (such as certain vampires, demon and other nocturnal beings), and despite their good intentions shady stuff can seems to go down around those areas, even stuff that is not related to the "creatures of the night". Anyway, it pays to have a map where you know where to avoid or proceed with caution. The coin is from the Treasure bath bomb from the "Da Bomb" bath bomb company.]]> Fri, 18 Nov 2022 21:49:59 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDQgJrLmq9LvQ https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boECvPFqXKozWBw

What started out as a cosmetic package, became a pencil box! I then started making my own version of these "makeup books" that I converted into magical pencil boxes. The purple book box is one I made on my own and decorated the inside with cute sticky notes and paper fidget toys.]]> Fri, 11 Nov 2022 19:04:46 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEAYLIXdZ7ilbA https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDKMVrlFpgq0g
I had wanted to construct a bag like Hermonie's for a long time, and then the opportunity came when I looked back at my Harry Potter glasses case (the one shaped like a book), I had to get a spare set of glasses, but got a tacky plastic case and I found a home made case I made almost the exact same way but for a pair of reading glasses that I hardly ever used. That's when inspiration hit! I used a sticky note to help me figure out how to make a "bag of holding" for my glasses. Then using a hot glue gun and bits of scrap fabric I glued the scraps together, around with a few other steps I made my own magical bag of holding for my glasses. I made this a while back and meant to post it but time and time again I would forget to. Shortly after making the Bag of holding case, I decided to do something similar to the Book shaped case, and make a Scroll that opened up and stored my other pair of glasses in it (I had three pairs) It was very difficult to not make a Naruto summoning scroll verses a magic spell scroll, but the same steps could be used in the future to make one. The wax seal is actually Hot glue painted gold. See tutorial here: https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/hot-glue-seal Also if you wanted to and made everything more sturdy, you could used these as pencil cases.]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2022 16:02:59 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDKMVrlFpgq0g https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDmKh1FvCndlQ
I had been told something to fidget with would help me, but all of the fidget jewelry I saw did not really look like something I would wear or use. Until I saw my sister had a much more stylish pop it bracelet she bought from Amazon, but when i looked at the ones on Amazon I still saw childish looking pop its and fidget bracelets, and on top of that it was a lot of money to buy a pack of those things and be lucky enough to get one that was exactly what I wanted. While I was making more "Pop-it-gotchi's" (just for fun) I noticed that they did not have to be double sided in order to work. So I made a single "pop it" and made it into a bracelet. I'm very pleased with the end result.]]> Sat, 15 Oct 2022 15:53:16 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDmKh1FvCndlQ https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEAl_SykUVmzow
I have taken some new approach and techniques to decorating mechanical pencils. From random charms to bows and wings. I would say the most challenging (and one of my favorite) is the mechanical pencil that looks like a Nimbus 2000 broomstick from Harry Potter with a winged key hanging off it.]]> Sat, 15 Oct 2022 15:41:14 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEAl_SykUVmzow https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEBQzhHJNGoagg
I had been recommended to get a fidget toy or something but I never found one that was to my liking, I had also been eating to make a pop it that looks like a Tamogotchi, (partly inspired by 90's nostalgia, Pixar's "Turning Red") but I also found out my sister struggled with some ADHD things too, which I had struggled with all my life. So I made the first one (teal and copper one) for her to see if it was possible with what I have. I put pictures of our late pets on it, (our dogs Brook and Meadow, and Chester the cat) She loved it as much as I loved seeing that it was fully functional and finding it entertaining. So I made one of my own, mine is the Purple and green one (both sides are Dragon themed) Both "pop-it-gotchis" are double sided. I may try to make more in the future. The best part is that I added a ball chain to each of them so we could "clip" them to our bags, belt, lanyard, esc. So we can keep them with us.]]> Wed, 12 Oct 2022 20:40:31 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEBQzhHJNGoagg https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEC7Lfp1gRgu2w
I had struggled with storing my ribbon stash and occasionally embroidery floss. I had seen ways to make "bobbins" like what CheekyMagpie did but seemed to lack to time to make, "experiment"/ research ways to improve on this, even went so far as to use toilet paper rolls I would hole punch or try to make work. Recently I learned stacking and layering paper works well for these things. However I used a bunch of note cards I hot glued toghter, trimmed to be like the template CheekyMagpie had posted but I went a step further and punched a hole in the top of the card stacks to thread the ribbon through and keep the ribbon wrapped up.]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2022 17:51:55 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEC7Lfp1gRgu2w https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEBJaAYlcEH9-g
It's basiclly a stackable pencil. I had these push pencils for a while and the youtuber of NerdEcrafter the YouTube channel talked about push pencils or stackable pencils in one of their videos and I thought "I should attempt this" Eventually I decided a stackable chocolate bar pencil would be the best choice to make and see if my air dry clay is still good. So I made this NerdECrafter's YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/NerdyCraftsies]]> Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:55:25 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEBJaAYlcEH9-g https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEBCVq83XwvTQQ

a very quick way to make a nice pendant]]> Fri, 26 Aug 2022 16:49:53 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boECF0bENVsRWoA https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boECjJScwD0B-DA
After all this time I decided to post the Fae miraculous! Still learning "the way of UvResin" but I think these gems turned out perfect and a lot better then what I was doing by recycling pairs of earrings I had copies of/ cleaning and painting old stud earrings. Plus this was not the first version of the Ring ever made. The first ring (we will call this one "Fae1")was actually all wire work but not as fancy but I gave that ring to someone who I as a Christmas present. The second version of that ring (we will call it" fae2")is what is shown in drawing and had a gold painted filigree band to it. It was true to the first ring other then that (btw both original rings "Fae1" and "Fae2" had butterflies from a internet picture of a tattoo pasted under the stone and never had a gold butterfly colored into the pictures) "Fae 2" eventually had to be repaired but was accidentally destroyed in the process of trying to repair. Not even the filigree band could be saved. So I began trying to make my own filigree bands but with partial success. So eventually I stopped working on it and other things in my life happened. Recently I began working on the Fae miraculous just for fun and learning from YouTube how to make Prong rings for the other rings I may make in the future. I came up with a ring band that was actally supposed to be fully bound together but saw one of the bands was cooler looking when the two bands were bound only 2/3s of the way around. Also after all the things that the "Miraculous" franchise has reveled I decided the a black colored metal would be a great "civilian camouflage form" vs a gold colored metal that could be easily identified on a "girl with a heart of gold who wears something black with every outfit" I am very happy with how cool the ring turned out. I may have found a way to keep wire wrapped rings from cutting and poking me and others even before they wear it. Hot glue is a gift from god and I cannot believe I forgot it can give traction or "cushion" things. Also, this project can be expensive but i based the cost off of how much I have had to buy to help with home improvement stuff and was lucky enough to have a few things already bought or left over from my home improvement. Let me know what you guys think.]]> Mon, 22 Aug 2022 16:09:58 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boECjJScwD0B-DA https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDJFwWwbllIpg
I used a novelty pez candy tin (it was "the office" themed and looked like a briefcase) added spots for glue, scissors, an eraser, and a pocket for pencils, paper clip bookmarks or whatever else you can get in the pocket. And I wanted to make it look like something from "Shugo Chara" (Love the Punk rocker goth clothing style of Amu, the main character and wish I could have dressed more like her when I was teen despite how she was younger then that) I first covered the tin with duct tape, but ruined the first tin. (Luckily these were later on clearance and I bought all the tins. In hind sight the concept of a collectible candy tin was great but it was too pricey in the first place for people who were even fans of the series, I was not one of those people but it was still pricy to start with) The next attempt; I spray painted the tin black, made it look less like a "windowed tin", added some attachments for shoulder straps and voila! This was a bit of a challenge, a real money and time sucker. I would recommend only doing something like this if you have a something cheaper and a lot more time then I did when then was made.]]> Sun, 21 Aug 2022 17:42:45 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/e-4wTz_boEDJFwWwbllIpg https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/tpU56BxzRRjpuQ7i-N4etA
