Christmas Stars DIY [watch the full video here]

I’m endlessly fascinated by this method but found it so hard to use straw to make them (as it’s intended originally). It kept breaking in my hands, and it’s quite disheartening, especially when it happens at the later stages.

Sooo, I’ve decided to use the Japanese paper band instead. It’s cheap ($3.30 each colour), widely available (at Daiso), made with recycled paper, doesn’t break and you can adjust width, if you need.

The stars make a cute gift decoration that doubles as a tree ornament. What can be better?

Make three of them, and you have a lovely gift on your hands already.

Enjoy!

🎄Felt Christmas Pudding Tutorial 🎄 [etsy]

The tutorial is super detailed, so it should be no problem following along, especially with the video help.

The video is free, you don't need to purchase the files to access it (the QR code is on the last image).

Beginner-Intermediate level, not too hard, but might be a tad challenging for a complete beginner.

Enjoy! 🎄

THERE IS. a website. that takes 3D models with seams and pulls it apart to make a plushie pattern and informs you where things need to be edited or darts added for the best effect. and then it lets you scale it and print off your pattern. and I want to lose my MIND because I've lost steam halfway through so many plushie patterns in the mind numbing in betweens of unwrapping, copying all of the meshes down as pieces, transferring those, testing them, then finding obvious tweaks... like... this would eradicate 99% of my trial and error workflow for 3D models to plushies & MAYBE ILL FINALLY FINISH SCREAMTAIL...

❄️ Made some wintery mittens for my kiddo (wintery for Australia). Adjusted sizing from the book I've picked up from an opshop to fit children's size and the yarn I had on hand. Thought I'd share the pattern - it's good for smaller hands, child or a small adult. I have petite hands, and they fit me pretty nicely.

Added some links to the techniques used in the pattern to this file: Instructions with useful links ❄️
