Fishtail Friendship Bracelet Making

Welcome to…

Today I am sharing with you the fishtail friendship bracelet I made using Feltasaurus' DIY Ombre Bracelet Tutorial. Link is provided for your reference.

I really liked the oceanic colours used in the tutorial but I didn't have the same colours. Instead I chose some colours that were similar. 

I don't think it gives off the same oceanic feel. Oh well! I will try again after my next visit to the craft store~ For now I will try some different colour themes, which I will post later. 

Like instructed in the tutorial, I used six different coloured embroidery threads. I wanted a longer bracelet that would loop around twice so I cut an extra 50cm of each colour, totalling to 100cm of each colour to work with. 

Here is how the bracelet turned out, complete with a star charm and blue bell. 

I think it turned out rather pretty. I wonder what colours I should try next? 

My Melody and Kuromi Amigurumi

It's been a while since I got this book, but I finally decided to try out some of the patterns when I got all the materials I needed, specifically the safety noses and eyes. The book uses embroidery for the eyes and noses. I suck at embroidering so… with these I just stick them in and done! There are 24 patterns in this book but in the end I chose to do My Melody and Kuromi. I love the juxtaposition of opposites, and coincidence or not these two were exactly that.

Lee describes in the book that My Melody is good-natured and honest. The description on Kuromi said that she liked to cause trouble. Together they were like the angel versus devil. So adorable!



Here is what the works in progress looked like. Overall I found the patterns in the book pretty easy to follow. It was just My Melody's flower that took me a couple of redoes before it looked acceptable. There weren't any guidelines on where to attach each piece as well so I had to figure it out myself.

After attaching the pieces together, I took it a step further and added on some rhinestones. These two are now the introductory pieces to Wonder Wishes' Glamour series!
