It’s 1991, and I’m sitting in my college lecture with my wire bloom in hand, fidgeting it into different shapes. Life is simple.
Throwback to this 90’s knick knack, a convertible 3D sphere that can transform into dozens of fun and useful shapes. Simply enjoy it as a bracelet, hair accessory, ornament (popular), or stim toy.
Buyable on Etsy. Just search Meraki Sphere or visit my Etsy link:

Take for example this simple use of wire and beads, to create my own version of these Folding Galaxy fidget toys; devices that can be worn as a bracelet, used as a hair accessory, displayed as an ornament and enjoyed as a fidget toy.

I thrifted some jeans recently, not knowing if they would fit me, but buying it anyway bc 1) it was €1 and 2) if it didn't fit I could surely make something with it.
turns out it was wayyy too small 😂 so I decided it would be perfect to make one of those tripp/y2k skirts with!
firstly I cut off the legs just above the crotch. I then tried it on, found it was too tight still, and added two strips of leftover fabric on either side. it fits perfectly now!
then I cut the remaining pant legs in even strips and connected them all to make one long strip. I folded ruffles of 5cm along the length, and sewed it in place before I sewed it onto the bottom of the skirt!
and just like that, I have a new skirt 𓆩♡𓆪 I might add some strips with d rings on it once I figure out the placement ^_^ but for now it's done
Betcha didn't know these 3D Fidget Blooms once were treasures. A once popular toy enjoyed by those born in the 1900's, survived the test of time as a toy for fidgeting, ornamental piece, and fashion accessory.
It's difficult to find 100% handmade versions of these brilliant multifunctional toys in 2023. Luckily, I've spent the last half decade crafting these to keep this traditional handmade piece alive.
Special Features of Fidget Bloom:
Crafted using high quality tarnish resistant brass wire
Transforms fluidly into dozens of whimsical shapes
Can be worn as a bracelet, hair accessory, and enjoyed as an ornament
Most commonly used as a stim for stimming & regulation
