KIY (Kawaii It Yourself)

Because I've been bored during the summer holidays I've been making lots of random stuff myself like the collars and things (if you haven't noticed). I got bored of saying "DIY" which to me sounds very manly and would involve some form of wood. I, personally, do not work with wood to make kawaii peter pan collars, key charms and small cute things. So I've decided to called it KIY. Doesn't really have the same ring to it... But I'm sure I can deal with it. Here are some more things I've made recently...

Made some cute cat ear in some hair clips

(No website, it was pretty easy to do myself, very finickity though)

Made a tiny Totoro from a template but halved the size

(also very finickity, but not as much)

And finally, I made a full size template Totoro!

Hope you like my cute creations! I'm happy with them.

More DIY...

 As I said in one of my last posts, I attempted to make a felt peter pan collar following this tutorial. It turned out pretty well! The tutorial is really easy to follow so it wasn't difficult at all!

(Purikura!)

I also had a go at making a fox tail charm as they seem to be getting pretty popular and personally I find them really cute! I really couldn't be bothered to spend money on one so I just bought fabric and made one myself. Didn't need to follow a tutorial this time... It was one of the easiest things I've ever made.

(Purikura!... Again!)

All of the Peter Collars!

Whilst I was spending lovely love love time with Onee-chan in Bournemouth, we discovered how to make peter pan collars. I know how to knit (admittedly a beginner), so once I found this tutorial on how to knit a peter pan collar you can imagine what my face looked like. The pattern was quite hard at first, but I tried another time and got the hang of it. The pictures below are my second try. The tutorial says to knit 13 rows for each strap, I tried this and thought that she must have a pretty skinny neck because it definitely didn't fit around mine (kind of strangled myself a bit). Instead I knitted 30 rows for each strap and cast off as she said in the tutorial. 

(And then I Purikura-d the picture o(>.<)o because I'm toats cool like that)

My next try will be to do this tutorial which is for a felt peter pan collar and looks far neater than the knitted one. Although the knitted one does look pretty spectacular in its own right.
