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:
Tumblr media
Use shiny fabric.
Tumblr media
Cut fabric into a star shape with a flat bottom (for his bum).
Tumblr media
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).
Tumblr media
Sew the star with back-stitch. Leave the bottom hole open.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Flip that star through the bottom hole and set it aside.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Stab it some.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Add facial features with core wool such as cheeks, chin, and forehead.
Tumblr media
Add top wool.
Tumblr media
As well as smaller facial features like lips.
Tumblr media
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).
Tumblr media
Sew your optional bells at the five tips of Albert’s body.
Tumblr media
Stuff Albert with poly fill.
Tumblr media
Sew Albert's face on his body. Put him aside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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).
Tumblr media
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

The last of my illustrated xmas gifts! This time it's Lucy, from Fairy Tail!
Unlike the other gifts, this one was made to work as a custom mousepad LOL. It turned out nice!

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.
