I've recently decided to make some Christmas stockings. I think they came out pretty cute.

They were made using scraps of fabric and some even upcycled clothes!
Cute and eco-friendly?
Can't go wrong. !

Ohhhh my goshhhhhhh Craftsters! It's been so long.
I've missed you all so much! *hugs* !
I don't really know why I stopped posting, I guess I kinda just fell off the crafty train. I've made things here and there but I haven't taken pictures or posted anywhere. BUT! I am changing that. ! I miss posting and commenting and such so I'm going to try to make a comeback.
Anyways, on to the crafties! <3!









Until next time. <3!

A few projects for ya'll.


Some more glittery bows. ! The red one is supposed to be kinda like Hello Kitty's? Meh, not quite but oh well.
Mmmmmm glitter. <3!




Bow made out of some fuzzy pastel baby yarn and a big pink button :3!




Pastel safety pin necklace made from some little baby shower favor things from dollar tree.



The Rainbow Brite thing was attached to a hair scrunchie from Target in the dollar section. I took it off that and put it on a necklace. ! I used some rainbow string and glitter and star beads.

Yay !
<3!

Just a few projects I've done here and there.


My mom had some denim laying around, and she wasn't going to use it, so I took it and made a little pinafore. I made two little detachable bows for it.


I used some t-shirt type fabric I got on clearance at Joann's for this little dress. Its got a pixie hem and a drawstring halter neck. Its super simple, but I like it.


Next is this little ruffly lolita skirt. I used this gorrrrrrrrrrgeous pastel storybook fabric. Its got little princesses on it, its kinda patchwork style with heart prints, paisley, butterflies, etc. I think its so darling. !


That's all for now.

So, as you can see, this years Halloween costume was a clown !
I decided to be a clown when the idea for the wig struck, out of the blue. That was my inspiration piece for this entire outfit.



I made the wig using a red pigtail wig as the base, then I took a rainbow afro wig, cut it in half, glued it onto two styrofoam balls and pinned it into the wig using bobby pins. I absolutely love it. !
The wig didn't really fit me (I have a big head -_-!) So, I made a bandana type headband thing to cover up in the back, and put a bow on the front to make it cute !



I loosely followed a costume pattern. I made the base dress in white with red ruffles and waist ties, then hand stitched polka dots in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. I chose to handstitch because I love how it looks. It took forever, but I think its a great detail.


I went to a halloween party on Saturday, this is me  (and my friend, as Alice) all made up. ! (No white face, because my cheapo makeup wouldn't cooperate.)




I also helped a friend with her costume. She was Hit Girl from Kickass. I made this belt, a simple cape and a mask. (only have pictures of the belt, I forgot the cape. Oops.)


And yes !
<3!

I decided this year's backpack had to be the most epic backpack ever. I mean, I'm a senior, go out with a bang, right? So, this is what sprouted with that idea in mind.




I probably spent about eight hours in total decorating this backpack. Six of which were spent on hand sewing the buttons alone. I added a candy plushie brooch, a unicorn fabric bow, a perler bead lollipop with flat back pearls, and a perler bead bunny with a bow. I made a few keychains; one out of embroidery floss, beads, and bells, another out of different color safety pins, and a third was a failed attempt at a friendship bracelet. (The Hello Kitty pez dispenser and Yoshi keychains weren't made by me, obv. Haha) I'm pretty proud of it. !



andddd, not rly related but, I also made this pouch out of a tshirt sleeve !

Fringe halter. This project was done really quickly, so its not the best looking. But I LOVE it! I plan on making another, in a colored shirt.
 

My mom bought me this top at target and while I loved the color, I thought the black buttons and stitching were far too harsh. So, I took a seam ripper to the stitching, stitched over with white thread, and replaced the black buttons with little white bunnies ! I think its much cuter now. <3!


Kitty top. I cut a square neckline, laced some black tshirt scraps around the neckline, leaving two long pieces that can be tied around the neck (like shown) or in other ways.
