Albert the Christmas Star
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! This is Albert.
You can see how he was made here!
Materials we used:
Upcycled shiny fabric that was a gift bag from some random purchase as top fabric (strange but often where I get novelty fabric scraps)
Used shirt with holes on it as lining fabric
Random non-stretch fabric as Albert's guts
Poly fill (best to use the silky smooth kind)
Recycled poly batting from grocery delivery padding material as core wool (or other coarse poly fill would also work)
Carded acrylic yarn in yellow as top wool (hand-carded with a cat hair remover thingy)
Glass sewing pins
Polyester sewing threads
Some paper and pencil for mock-up
Optional: jingle bells from abandoned cat toys
Tools we used:
Sewing needles
Felting needles
Seam ripper
Scissors
Wire cutter
Felting foam platform (recycled packaging materials)
To make Albert:
Use shiny fabric.
Cut fabric into a star shape with a flat bottom (for his bum).
Line your star cut-out with your liner fabric (you may skip this part if you feel like your shiny fabric is strong / thick enough).
Sew the star with back-stitch. Leave the bottom hole open.
Flip that star through the bottom hole and set it aside.
Draw a mock-up of Albert's face and cut a few layers of poly batting in approximately his shape. If you are using poly fill instead, you can skip this part and start needle felting a rough base shape shown in next step.
Stab it some.
To speed up the felting of the base, use soap and hot water to gently massage it until it starts feeling noticeably more felted. You may skip this step if you have more patience than me at stabbing.
Add facial features with core wool such as cheeks, chin, and forehead.
Add top wool.
As well as smaller facial features like lips.
Cut glass pins to length so they don't poke through the face. Bend them downward a little and pin at a slight angle downward so they more secure (than poking them straight towards the back).
Sew your optional bells at the five tips of Albert’s body.
Stuff Albert with poly fill.
Sew Albert's face on his body. Put him aside.
For Albert's guts, it's just a small pocket. Cut out a piece of rectangle that is roughly the width of his bottom hole and cut the length at double however long your christmas tree tip is. Mine was around 6ish" long that folded into a 3" deep pocket. Sewn with running stitch back and forth.
Flip his gut pocket inside out. Shove it at his bottom. Sew it onto its body (make sure to sew it to the top and lining fabric together for strength cause that part will need it).
And you have yourself an Albert*.
*Albert means noble and bright!

2022 Xmas card trades were mini shaker bottles!...because past!Me decided to randomly buy some. Can you see the common thread between all my craft projects XDD These were actually pretty quick to put together all things considering (which was great cos I started them really late lol).
Pro tip never use plastic bottles like I did because ugh they scratch so easily.
Made from: Mini plastic bottles, craft paper, pipecleaner, felt, beads, buttons, thread, matchsticks, random scrapbooking bits and bobs

sunday morning cyanotypes [ft. a fern and an old cricut design space cutout]
#j: art#j: cyanotype#f: original#cyanotype#craft#i am not sure if it is because these papers were prepped 6 weeks ago or if the hot water itself is the issue#but i accidentally used hot water and it washed out a lot#of the detail on the fern one around the edges in particular#but i like how the cutout came out. lots of ideas running round my head for xmas cards and such

These Christmas ornaments makes me wish I was Jewish. Wait, am I? Let’s see. No that isn’t definitive, a lot of men …wait did I type that? Pretend you didn’t read this.

Cuties reunited at last!!
Bought some cute Sun and Moon crotchet patterns from BisQuixCreations on etsy and had my mom make these for me.
Well, she made Sun and got stuck on Moon for the longest time, but now they have joined the household at last on this Sunday in Advent!
Happy holidays, ya'll!!

Albert the slightly dim Christmas star
Albert, child of night. He may look a bit like a fool with a plastic tree up his bum but he brings us merriment for the festive season.
Made with recycled fabric, acrylic fiber, poly stuffing, glass pins, cat toy bells, and threads.
I tried to film the making of Albert and it was a very intrusive act to my craft trance. I already knew filming and editing is a different set of work in itself, but it makes me appreciate the effort of well thought-out youtube creators even more. I don’t know how they stay in one place and film almost 90% of their process because I was literally crying from forcing my hands to stay on my table while not being able to see where my needle is poking at with my heavily astigmatized vision plus an accursed eye floater that refuses to leave whom I have named Jezebel.
Hopefully I will edit the footages into something decent soon.
End log.
