Homespun DIY: Adventure Time pouches

Buongiorno, fellow inhabitants of The Land of Ooo!

Sorry I've been MIA (no, not really) (Although I'm pretty sure you guys missed me) (ha ha tasha you're so funny). Been cracking my head on what DIY I should do. Then I saw a DIY on YouTube; Adventure Time pillows. (Man, I love AT. I love how the characters are so in your face. And they have some really cool words of their own. Personally, Lumpy Space Princess is my spirit animal. She's too cool.) But I don't really want pillows, so I thought of making a pencil case but that clearly didn't work out. I hate working with zippers. So I thought why not make a pouch. A pouch is super useful especially for us girls. We have too much junk in our bag sometimes we just need to be organized. Maybe you can put  your house/car keys, earpods or even lipstick.

I decided to do a Marceline one cause she's one of the most underrated characters I know. Everyone knows Jake, Finn, PB, Lady Rainicorn and BMO. BUt what about Marceline? I think she's pretty cool.

Lets get started shall we? (Don't worry it's super easy)

Things you'll need:

• Navy blue/black (2 pieces), baby blue/light grey & red felt
• Scissors
• Tacky glue
• (Pencil)

**I accidentally deleted the picture of the first step in my phone. oops.**

** But here's a picture of the LSP one I did for my blog**

Step 1: Glue together the navy blue/black felt. Making sure to leave half a centimeter on the 3 sides cause you're gonna turn the felt inside out later on. Do not glue all four sides cause we wanna make an opening. (It is a pouch) (Duh). Leave to dry for 15 minutes.

Step 2: While waiting for the glue to dry, start drawing out the shapes. Just do what i did. A sort of head shape, 2 triangles and 2 small circles. Then place them together to your liking before gluing them together.

Step 3: The picture is pretty explanatory. Glue them together! Make sure your face/head shape is in the middle of your pouch. Oh yeah. After you've turned it inside out.

And voila! You're done. I made this pouch for Yi Peng. But you can check out the one I made for myself on my blog.

That's pretty much it. Super simple and easy right? Remember, have fun with it. Good luck!

Peace out homedawgs,
Tash.

Homespun DIY: Flower crown

Hey there kulcats! Tasha here, fellow lump of the ever so preeminent Yi Peng. (Yeah, I have to compliment her in some way right it is her blog.) (poo)

As many of you might know, Urbanscapes is coming up and oh golly gee damn am I excited. I've never been to a music festival before, (I know, lame. Boo you lump) so I'm pretty excited to dress up for this special occasion. I've always imagined myself going as a hippie to music festivals and a hippie look is not complete without your ever so trusty flower crown. It's so easy to make, fun and completes/adds femininity to your outfit.

So, shall we begin?

 Things you'll need:

• Hot glue gun
• Glue sticks
• An old headband
• Fake flowers (Yi Peng got these from Kaison)

Step 1: Cut the stems off the flowers. This will make it easier to glue onto the headband. 

Step 2: Arrange the flowers however you want before you glue them on. Add leaves to give them character

Caution: The glue is hot. (hot glue gun, duh) 
Step 3: The picture is pretty self-explanatory. Time to glue your flowers on!  (Tip: You might wanna keep your fingers away from the tip of the hot glue gun. The glue sticks tend to melt really fast and the glue just oozes out like crazy. Turn the switch off to have more control of the flow of the glue.)

And voila! You're done. Now wasn't that easy? You can arrange the flowers however you want. It is your crown after all. (We all know Yi Peng and I are the only princesses though) (Lumpy princesses that is)

Have fun with it!
Peace out bamboozles,

Tash.
