Character / F/o pin tutorial

Someone asked me how I made the pins when I originally posted that I was making pins earlier, so I decided to made an in depth tutorial.

First things first, supplies!

You will need:

Paper (and a printer, unless you want to draw it out yourself)

Scissors

Glue (I use a gluestick because it's what I have on hand, but if you use something like school glue you might have to be careful not to saturate the paper with it)

Pins (the ones in the picture are some I've already painted, which will be explained in the prep step)

Paint (color doesn't actually matter much, but know that theres a chance it will alter the tint of the pins)

Some kind of sealant (I use acrylic sealer because that's what I have on hand, but things like mod podge and clear nail polish work too) bonus points if it's glossy ✨️

Step one: Prep!

Print out/draw the designs you want on the pins. Here, I have my sweet dork of a f/o, Deidara.

This is also the stage where you'll paint your pins, because if they have designs on them already (like mine did) it can show through during the sealant step. That's what happened to me on my first attempt (I ended up having to redo them all, which worked out because now I'm making this tutorial <3) I used black paint, which gave them a darker undertone after spraying the sealer on them.

Step two: Cutting and Gluing!

When cutting, it's a good idea to leave some excess and trim it off later (if the pin is too big for the design, you can fill in the white edges with a local color to bridge the gap)

Now for gluing, slather some glue on the back of the picture and line it up with the pin to the best of your ability.

Now you can trim the edges, but still keep a bit of excess so you can fold it over the edge of the pin. I do this by smoothing outward from the center of the picture, and then around the edge.

Now you're nearly done! Give your character / f/o a smooch for getting this far 😘

Step three: Sealing!

For this final step, you just need to take your sealant and apply it to the top of the pins. You can also use this time to make sure that the extra edge (that was folded down) is glued down securely. I skipped this part because these pins are going into my ita bag, but I recommend you do this if they’re going to be in a less protected spot.

I did not heed the instructions on my sealer and accidentally sprayed way too much at once. My poor boy 😭 (it's not too terrible at least, and should be better when it's dry)

And that's all, folks! Have fun with your new knowledge and stay creative!

Bonus:

My ita bag!!

(the big pins don't even fit lmao)

~How to Make Custom Pins~

What you need:

Can (eg. can of Coke)

Scissors

Paint brush

Hot glue/ hot glue gun

Craft glue

Clear nail polish/ varnish

Safety pin

(Optional) sand paper

(Optional) hair dryer

(Optional) blu-tack

Steps:

1. Clean and cut out the bottom part of a can. It it optional, but you can sand the cut out.

2. Cut out your picture (leave excess room around the egdes)

3. Use the craft glue to cover the back of the picture cut out

4. Wrap the picture around the back, and dab the edges down with craft glue

5. Cover the front with craft glue, and prop it up off the ground with something (I used nail polish). Let the pin air dry or dry with a hair dryer.

6. When the glue dries, you can optionally use a bit of blu-tack to stick the pin to the item you're using to prop the pin up. Then, use varnish or clear nail polish and add a clear coat to your pin. Let air dry or dry with a hair dryer.

7. Use hot glue to secure the edges of your picture down

8. Hot glue a safety pin to the back of your pin

9. Let the hot glue fully dry, and then you're done!

a craft I made for the new years:) the point of the wishing star is to fill it with your resolutions and keep it as a constant reminder to yourself, I love mine!

Single Band Quadfish

Supplies:

Monster Tail loom • rubber bands (any # of colors) • hook • C clip

Step One:

Place one band around 4 pegs to create a square shape.

Step Two:

Pull one corner of the square away from the loom. Loop the band over and around the peg as shown below.

Repeat this on every peg.

Step Three:

Push the band down until you have room to stack 2 more bands onto the pegs.

Step Four:

Hook the bottom band-- the one you looped around each corner peg-- and loop it up and over the peg. Repeat this on all four pegs.

Once the entire band is looped, push your work down the pegs and add another band to the top.

Step Five:

Repeat step four with the new bottom band. Continue to loop and add new bands.

After a while, your project will look like this

Rad as fuck 😍

Oh! She's crowning!

Step Six:

Once the bracelet is long enough, pop a large C-clip on the end.

Enjoy your bracelet!

Final Thoughts...

This bracelet is great for beginners since you don't really have to pay attention to the looping order. The pattern is kind of like an elevated version of the fishtail (hence 'quadfish'). It was super easy to mend mistakes - this was my first time using the Monster Tail loom, and I absolutely dominated that shit. I'm also obsessed with the colors I used (mermaid vibez).

idk who needs to hear this but here's my button-making tip of the day

mylars: STINKY. bastards. evil. duplicitous. they build up static and never let it go, they slide all over the place, you think you only have one but it's still secretly 2 stuck together, they get misaligned no matter how carefully you place them and then crimp wrong and then your button is fucked up. they were my #1 cause of button failure in the year-ish i've been using a button press. garbageboy stinkman belongs in the toilet.

the answer: SINGLE SIDED LAMINATE, BABEY!!! you can hand-lay it over a printed sheet. it comes in clear, it comes in many kinds of sparkle and dazzle and so on. i use my die cutter to achieve these lovely circles but obviously, you could use scissors too. it's waterproof, it's attractive, it crimps the way it's supposed to without having to deal with the slidey sandwich static problems, i've had far fewer button failures with this method. i highly recommend this in combination with Epson's "presentation paper," which is really lightweight and durable.

These guys are inexpensive, simple, and make lovely gifts so here’s a tutorial on how to make them!

1. Make a pattern piece - any relatively simple shape will do, I modeled mine after beanie baby frogs. Just draw the shape onto a piece of cardboard and cut it out!

2. Cut two pattern pieces from 100% cotton - old tshirts, hoodies or jeans are perfect. I like to make the top and bottom different colors :)

3. With the good sides of the fabric together, use a sewing machine or needle and thread to stitch along the outer edge of your critter. Make sure to leave a small gap so you can turn it right side out - it’s easiest if this is along a flat edge.

4. Turn your critter right side out and add eyes if desired - I use safety eyes, but you can also paint, draw, or embroider them on, along with any other decorations you’d like!

5. Add your filling - I use feed corn, but dry rice or beans will work too. For the frogs, I massage the corn into the legs and then use a line of stitching to keep all the filling from migrating into the center of the body.

6. Add the rest of your filling and hand-stitch the gap closed with needle and thread.

7. Done! Microwave your critter for 30 seconds at a time until perfectly cozy.
