Look! I made the PomPom... now all I have to do is sew it on :)

This isn't my normal miniature project but I had purchased this wreath form last winter with the intention of making some sort of christmas wreath with it... and as the new year dawned with that wreath still unmade, I realized that I should probably figure out something else to do with the form. Hence, this odd little pompom creation to celebrate a couple of life events in the last year. I'm outlining my process below just in case anyone else is interested in making this style of wreath as well :)

The form is made from chipboard, and I first painted it in acrylic.

I then attached some handmade pompoms to it via good old glue gun, and some firmly tied knots.

I made some leaves from felt and wire, to make the fronds poseable - there's a short video of the process on my instagram (2nd slide in the post carousel). This is probably... the lengthiest part of the whole process since I embroidered the middle of each leaf first (on both sides), then stitched the two sides of each leaf together, sandwiching the wires inbetween.

Next I made a little house from matboard - the stuff used for framing. I've really latched onto this material for a lot of crafty uses, since it is sturdy, easy to cut, and also takes on paint well since it's essentially a thick block of pressed paper.

To create the two little proteas, I took a piece of cardstock paper (used for the printer essentially), and painted it in red acrylic on both sides. Then I dry brushed some light pink and white paint across the paper, again on both sides.

When the paper was thoroughly dry, I snipped tiny petals from it and used them to cover a central form that I made from polymer clay. I didn't want to construct the whole flower from paper since I needed it to be a bit more robust... something that could take a few knocks or falls without breaking or deforming, so polymer clay was my choice. If I had any foam around, I might have tried to use that since the clay is a bit heavier than preferred, but all in all, it worked out.

The petals were glued on in layers, and I also added a thin light streak to each petal afterwards to really help differentiate them from previous layers.

Lastly, I added some leaves to the stem, making sure to shape them around a pen first. You can kind of see the wire of the stem poking out the bottom - this is intentional! That's what I used to attach the proteas to the chipboard frame. I drilled a small hole (the exact size of the wire) into the frame where I wanted the flowers to go, and then pushed the wire in with some super glue. There was still a bit of wire poking through the other side, which I bent against the frame to really hold the protea in place :)

The wire-poking-through-frame is largely the method I used to attach the felt leaves and the house as well. With the leaves, I wrapped the wires a couple times around the frame after gluing them in, just for extra security.

And that's it! Not quite a tutorial (that would have been very lengthy), but hopefully a clear enough explanation for recreating something along these lines. I plan to hang this wreath year round, as opposed to the original plan of a christmas wreath ^_^

White Baby Hat with Pink Heart and Pompom

Started and finished two knitted beanies this week which is actually quite impressive of me and my inability to focus on projects at the moment. Being back at work in the mornings has been a blessing for so many reasons, but it also means I have less time to make things. I'm still trying to find the balance but I'll get there eventually.

These hats will be posted in my ko-fi shop... eventually...🤷🏽‍♀️

So, I've decided to make artfight-themed pompom. Why? Because it's fun. Because I can. Because I couldn't sleep at night thinking of this.

So, the first step was to make sure I have all the colours I need.

[Seafoam palette is mostly orange+teal and Stardust colours are black and purple. ]

Hmm, turns out I don't have teal and my orange looks too saturated

...

So, I've decided to mix some light blue and green threads together to make something similar to teal and add some yellow to orange.

OK, time to sketch!!!

The trick here is to make sure your design is symmetrical. While wrapping, you will move from center to edge, thus creating mirror symmetry in your pattern.

Fine, this looks cool so far!

Let's move to wrapping

First layer

Second layer

Seafoam side is done!

Now, for stardust

The middle/center of the star

(Actually I forgot to take pictures of the process, so let's pretend you got it)

I was too lazy to make purple-blue rays, so I figured out I can just leave it as it is

And done!

Cut! Cut! Cut!

Okay, it might not be the best pompom I've ever made but it doesn't look too bad

Look at my knitting

[coffee-and-yarn]

Day #4 of the #fiberuarychallenge is ‘made in 2022’. I didn’t actually make that much in 2022. Partly because with starting a new job and having two young children I was mentally at capacity and also I had imposed a ‘knitting only from stash’ rule which unsurprisingly reduced my readiness to start projects 😂😂 I did actually complete two other projects, but they are gifts so I won’t share those until I’ve handed them over. This was my second attempt at knitting this hat. I like the pattern the yarn makes, but it’s too big which has made me sad. I also made a pom pom which is too heavy. I’m hoping once I’ve blocked this out and reduced some of the density from the pom pom, I’ll actually like this a bit more. I didn’t do a swatch for this knit and I really really should have 🤦🏻‍♀️ I could unravel it and start again, but the thought of that gives me the horrors so I might just leave it as it is 😬 #fiberuarychallenge #knittersofinstagram #handmade #knittedhat #pompom https://www.instagram.com/p/CocOGTvosNn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
