well. In this video I'll be showing you how to make a cute needle felted

6-7 hours to finish.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">I love the sounds of needle felting so I
kept this tutorial as ASMR, but you might hear a bit of background noises too,

In the last month or so, I got addicted to carve eraser stamps. To my surprise, it is a very relaxing hobby, the feeling is very similar to needle felting.. you just want to carve more and more. I'm still a beginner myself, and here I've made a simple 'how-to' tutorial to show the main processes to share with you all. </div>

<h2>
<u>* Tools and Materials:</u></h2>
You can get most of these items in your local arts and crafts store. For the eraser, you could get them from Ebay or Etsy by searching the keywords "eraser carving blocks". Alternately, you could also use regular erasers to carve. I got mine from Daiso.<br />
<h2>
<u>* Safety</u></h2>
Watch your fingers while carving, it's better to move/ rotate your eraser rather than turning your blade. Please pace yourself and carve slowly, the carving process in this video is twice the speed to shorten the length of the video. The template used in my video:<br />

I chose VersaMagic because of it's 'chalk-like' matte finish, it gives a sketchy feel to my carved stamps. It also has a lot of pretty pastel colours which is a big bonus for me! </div>

Great news! Firstly, as a follow up from my <a href="http://puffylittlethings.blogspot.co.nz/2013/10/strapya-world-renewal-event.html" target="_blank">last post</a>, <i style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Strapya-World</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> is currently celebrating a brand renewal event to the name- </span><span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="Hamee:0" grmarkguid="67a12148-2169-4e90-86bd-3cd4f3e68256" gruiphraseguid="b5b27fca-74c7-4f0a-83b4-beb6057ac1e3" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><i>Hamee</i></span> by having exciting sales from first of November to 7th of November.

<div>
You can find hints on the treasure hunt event page. For example, you can find the 500JPY coupon on their main <a href="http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/Hamee-Renewal-Anniversary/9270.html" target="_blank">Hamee Renewal Anniversary page</a>, all you have to do is to scroll down to the bottom of the page, click the Hamee logo, and it will give you the coupon code which will look like <a href="http://www.strapya-world.com/pic/2013/Hamee_T_Logo.jpg" target="_blank">this</a>.This step is similar for the 1,000JPY and the 5,000JPY coupon. However, for the grand coupon, you will have to work harder XD! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the 10,000JPY coupon, you have to answer all 9 questions, by finding the products that suits the best answer. Within that particular product page (that you think you've found the right product to go with the answer), you will see the Hamee logo if got the correct answer. If not, keep on searching! Gather all 9 of the alphabets and make a word, then, send an email and they will reply you with the coupon code.<br />
<br />
Good Luck!</div>

Happy treasure hunting!</div>

Doesn't this sound exciting? XD They also have a <a href="http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/Decoration-Parts/6087_6768.html" target="_blank">craft section</a> where you can purchase decoration parts to make cell phone charms! I got my very first craft kit from them, and I still use it occasionally when I make charms.<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy crafting, and shopping!<br />

It has been a long time for an update, I made this super adorable Pichu ornament for my friend a few weeks ago. I want to give this ornament a sweet and girly feel, the concept is a garden of pink roses with two <span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="Pichus:0" grmarkguid="1c90e2b4-7abf-45d5-8819-dd3067e45e42" gruiphraseguid="a5aa3c1e-115b-4fe3-8f0e-ecc858c983be">Pichus</span> sitting in the middle. I wasn't very confident at first because I don't make figurines often and this would only be my second time making them, it took me a while to figure out how to make and I had to study this character well in order to make it as realistic as possible. Love these cuties!</div>

I painted the features on after the clay hardens after 2-3 days, I am not good with these, the facial expressions took me 3 hours to do. </div>

I prepared a large piece of balsa wood for the base, cut into a heart shape and chose a baby pink <span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="colour:0" grmarkguid="2ca5c807-1d9b-4b24-beb8-7e20ab5c3f7a" gruiphraseguid="bf6ede24-2104-424a-aeb1-78ea7d18228c">colour</span> and made the border. </div>

Finally, adjust the roses and put the two adorable glazed figurines in<span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="!:0" grmarkguid="eb2f0b5f-0d35-4cfc-84d0-a2afa6eda4c4" gruiphraseguid="2d680821-d8c8-4b77-a364-31856705c724">!</span>~ >v<</div>

I personally think I did a good job with these, it was beyond my expectation within such a short time.

<br />
Just one thing, never cut your wool! I forgot to mention it in the video, but when you pull your wool from your sliver don't cut it with a scissor. This will prevent the fiber ends to felt and keep it's natural texture. When I first started needle felting it took me a while to understand what is a 'finished product', I was worried about the fibers because they look very flurry and they are sticking out on the surface. In this video I introduced a 'squeeze test', so if you feel the object is getting tensed up and your felting needle gets hard to poke through, it that means the object is very well felted. That way you don't have to worry about what is a 'finished' needle felting project. However, it depends on your preference, if you prefer to be soft, then you don't have to felt as much. But I find it if I felt it really well I will get less fibres on the surface. Good luck! </div>

Felting is one of the oldest fibre crafts, it is a process to create an object made with wool fibres There are two types- one is dry (needle) felting and the other one is wet felting. This video shows the creations I made with dry felting, this process uses a special barbed needle to create friction between the fibres when you use the needle to poke them up and down. This allows the fibres to tangle together and creates a volume. There is no rule to needle felting, however safety is very important and always watch what you are doing.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I used a pun on the word 'felt' for the title of the video, it's both a none and a verb at the same time. I really enjoy felting, It makes me feel relaxed and concentrated, but sometimes I do get very tired when poking them for a long time ^_^!</span></div>

I have been making a lot of roses these days for this coming Valentine's Day, roses are one of the most challengeable objects for myself to make. My journey into rose making started mid last year when I saw beautiful handcrafted realistic roses made from clay online and I was really amazed by this beautiful piece of art. So I told myself to give it a try, I started making miniature roses but they weren't pretty at first. I went through a lot of research and gathered all the useful tips, finally I am happy with what I have achieved and discovered and now would like to share them. This is just a quick walkthrough/ tutorial because it was also my first trial out for a larger scale rose, and I just took photos of my steps. I hope you find this helpful, please leave a comment if you would like to share your own experience in making clay roses.</div>

First, curl the wire into a small loop and shape a tear drop with your clay. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Roll into a thin oval as a petal for your rose. You need to repeat this step many times, the petal will become larger as you work through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hold the petal lightly, use the weight of the chopstick to roll around the edges of the oval shape. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0sCerRzu1xn9jp64bEQBG-s6eJ2ruT1rO1DHowNbzlgd3PBv9aKIUm6iYPCNhX0w2dcoipS3Zsg3e_95yJRsB7xFrT8xkpCh3DWEEUqRiqRkcOONZXSrW9cx0rtpysyaCA-5FtDe4nQfK/s640/IMG_1565.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what it should look like, the top of the petal should be thin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz_Cs6tmbafbr6Z4paZuSS-b1Ph4uiN_SI6DyVLleNMdAcsxTwXrYt3Z4X_LkHnTGMiL9g9dUwhShCErjRwI53J6_x9Re5iI7jUJKqknhHBjYgGk_ZgpCRoPXAfWOfxTg_5cwUcyRycD7D/s640/IMG_1566.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Press your thumb gently in the middle of the petal to create an 'U' shape, and curl the top of the petal backwards using your fingertips. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wrap 3 petals around the tear shape to create the flower bud.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The trick to make roses is that you need to warp the petal starting from the middle of the previous petal. The two petals will over lap each other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL0jUVijUfF7tQxBVf4jrTPYkBlvxHjkJkcxRW3e8dK22UL9XcjWO5OiUKvaWpoX-soYzrk5kLwXxd9ooAVbVQLEcRoWPxa2yrriOofhNGqBAUC3U4IOT5a9BT0ibBh1xx03Gl3_UKZrWo/s640/IMG_1571.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start wrapping the rose in a pattern. Work in one direction only. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBm6Rvt3G2k6skrpd_UiD0s-N3X9DEo4xh2CzzbtSjCCQ3a4jNpTdE0UdJhg8LITpobNl19BPHsV4xBFbllqsy8Yxnn98dxyEHHAq-dZbdgpytnbZfmtyFvVHgO7HH6XuE1FVwG1J9E7G1/s640/IMG_1573.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The side view. The rose should be tightly pressed at the bottom and let the petal 'fall down' naturally. </div>

You can also pinch the middle of each petal between your thumb and second finger lightly to make it look more realistic. </div>

This is my second tutorial for my Sweets Deco Series, the reason I made this tutorial because I personally like to decorate with them and it is not that hard to make. I want to share my experience to everyone so they can also make them instead of buying. When I first start making sweets deco, I aways want to make realistic fruits, but it is not easy to find the 'how'. After searching on the internet and research on other artists's creation I finally figured out the way to make it. It is easier than you think, so please do give it a try! I hope this would help all the clay crafters out there, and hope you enjoy this tutorial!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used <a href="http://puffylittlethings.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/homemade-cold-porcelain-clay.html">homemade cold porcelain clay</a>, and coloured them with acrylic paint. I make lots of fruits at a time and let them sit on a foam board to air dry for one day. These are not big objects so it dries fast however it also depends on the humidity of the area you are in. </div>

These are the blueberries I made after filming the video because I had left over clay. The photo doesn't look nice to me because of the red stain on the toothpick left by the strawberries. =^=</div>

Finally I uploaded my first Youtube tutorial, I always wanted to start one but I couldn't find the time and film. This simple and short tutorial took me 4 days to edit, and as well learning the video editing software at the same time. At the end, I am very happy with video, and I hope everyone will like it too! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/pufftique" target="_blank">My Youtube channel</a> will be having lots of cute craft tutorials and I will also share techniques and ideas , so please subscribe ^_^! </div>

<u><b>About the tutorial:</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
This is a very simple cupcake, for this tutorial I used air dry clay for the cupcake base and homemade cold porcelain clay for the decorations. Air dry clay means that you don't need to bake it, it will air dry within 1-2 days minimum. I used baby oil as a 'release' agent for the mold so the clay will come out easier ( you could also use cooking oil) I used <a href="http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/76614bakingmaster/index.htm" target="_blank">Tamiya Baking Master</a> to shade it the cupcake, you could also use pastels or acrylic paint to brush on the shading. I bought the Baster Master recently and I always wanted to try it. The colour pallet is the same as soft pastels, but mine turned a bit hard so it was hard to brush on. For the decoration, you could use anything you like. I personally like to decorate them with fruits, I will be making them in the next tutorial.<br />
<br />
So I hope you enjoy this tutorial, I will be more making sweets deco, needle felt, felt cakes and cute crafts!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">This is the most fancy macaroon charm I have decorated, and I really like it!! I like to have alot of fruit pieces, the chocolates and sprinkles made it extra cute! I feel more confident in decorating now, I used to make so much of these bases and tarts but was scared to put them all together. The total time to make this charm all together took me about one hour to one and half hour, excluding the drying time ( I used <a href="http://puffylittlethings.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/homemade-cold-porcelain-clay.html" target="_blank">homemade cold porcelain clay</a>, it is an air drying type). I am really excited to make more of these. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">It's nearly Christmas, but somehow I am feeling a bit lazy to make something, these were the stuff I made during the last two weeks. I want to make more green and red objects because it's a classic colour combination for Christmas, but at the end I ended up making something I normally would make. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also made lots of fake clay sprinkles for decoration, these took ages to make because I had to roll them individually and cut them into fine pieces. I really like the colours, it's fresh, bright and fruity. </div>

I was really happy to find these mini piggy spatulas, they are great to mix my <a href="http://puffylittlethings.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/homemade-cold-porcelain-clay.html" target="_blank">cold porcelain clay</a> mixture.I also saw these metal chocolate moulds, they are perfect for my miniatures sweets, and I can use them as tarts and even bowls. </div>

The front and back detail of the mini spatulas, the tail is so cute.</div>

The chocolate moulds came with a nice tin, it makes it so much easier for storage. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Each of the shape came in 3s, plenty of stuff to make with all these moulds. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Some of them has a nice detail on the back. I have been using flexible moulds for a while now, so these metal ones are really new to me. I am not sure how well the object would release from the mould but it's definitely worth trying.</div>

The best thing about it is that you can make it yourself, it is easy and the ingredients are cheap. Cold porcelain clay is a great polymer clay alternative. I have always been avoiding polymer clay because of the expensive price and I do not want to use my oven for small things. I mainly work with air dry clay, and Hearty clay is one of them. However it is also very expensive and I need to buy them overseas, the shipping prices are very high these days. Therefore cold porcelain clay is now one of my favourites, this clay can produce very durable results and I just love the smooth matt finish. The clay is very soft to work with and can be easily coloured. </span><br />

I am really happy with my third attempt, the result looks good but I still have many things to improve on.</div>

So here I am just going to do a brief introduction on how I made my clay, I used the microwave instead of the stove to cook it. If you need the stove version, you can find many of them on YouTube.<br />

Mix till a gooey texture. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pop in the microwave for 15s, and do it for 3 times. Between these intervals take it out and mix it. I have a 1100W microwave, the cooking time depends on the power, so start with a short duration for the first time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Prepare a cooking wrap sheet with lotion, this will prevent the clay sticking to your hands and the working surface. Be careful, the clay is very hot! </div>

Don't overcook, the clay is perfect with a peak when you pull it apart. If the clay breaks when you pull, it means you have overcooked it. </div>

Above is a tutorial I made with red food colouring. The amount of ingredients were different due to more water contents from the food colouring, however, the processes are the same. I know some of you were having troubles making the clay, I hope this video helps. Also, you can make all sorts of different colours by using this method!

<h2>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e4baba; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><u>Troubleshooting :</u></span></h2>
I have received many questions about this clay, sorry I can't reply to everyone's questions. So here are some troubleshooting tips:<br />
<br />
* <u>My clay is still sticky </u><br />
<br />
1. Did you use corn starch or corn flour? You can not use anything else other than those two ingredients.<br />
2. What's the watts for your microwave? If it's under 1100W, you might need to add more intervals and cook more. <br />
3. When you knead it, if it becomes sticky, add more corn starch or corn flour. If you are confident enough, you can always put it back in the microwave for a few seconds just to warm it up (however this is really risky, I suggest you just add more cornstarch/ corn flour)<br />
4. If you put it in the fridge to rest and the next day it's sticky, again, mix in some dry ingredients (corn starch/ corn flour) in.<br />
<br />
* <u>I overcooked my clay</u><br />
You can always make an under-cook batch and blend them together, it always worked for me!<br />
<br />
* <u>My clay cracked when dried</u><br />
This is a really hard question, because it has never happened to me before. It really depends on the temperature and the humidity of your area. Avoid putting it directly under the sun, and place it in a well ventilated area in room temperature.<br />
<br />
* <u>My clay can't stick together when I put the pieces together</u><br />
This is a tricky question, because it really depends on the consistency of your clay. My only suggestion <span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="would be blend:0" grmarkguid="f89cdf06-c107-4104-91e8-a9b54e020efc" gruiphraseguid="e6e7c195-ac0f-47b7-a79a-644528a646cc">would be blend</span> in some PVA glue to your clay so it's 'stickier'.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u><br /></u>
<br />
<h2>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e4baba; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><u>FAQ :</u></span></h2>
* <u>How long does it need to take it to dry?</u><br />
It depends on the thickness and the volume of your creation. It normally takes 1-2 days to dry for a 3cm round ball, however, please keep in mind that this depends on the humidity and the weather of your place. <br />
<br />
* <u>Do I need to put in the fridge to rest?</u><br />
Nope, you don't need to. I have experimented and put it <span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="in:0" grmarkguid="dff19092-cb69-44b3-a5d5-68982f99a2de" gruiphraseguid="983d6617-b624-4d8d-a800-4cea8287ea8c">in</span> room temperature wrapped with cooking wrap, and it's totally fine.<br />
<br />
*<u> How much does this clay weighs?</u><br />
It's heavier than normal paper air-dry clay, I have to say, it weighs around the same as polymer clay. (Still need to confirm)<br />
<br />
* <u>How durable is the clay?</u><br />
The clay dries rock hard! It's very durable for jewellery making, and sculptures. However thin pieces around 2mm-3mm will break (if that's your intention to break them), but other than that, this clay is very sturdy.<br />
<br />
* <u>Does the clay dry matte?</u><br />
Yes, it does! The clay dries to a beautiful matte finish, with a little hint of gloss. You can see the example of a dried work <a href="http://puffylittlethings.blogspot.co.nz/2013/04/pichu-love.html">here</a>, and I added a satin varnish over them.<br />
<br />
* <u>Is this clay water proof, do I need to glaze it? </u><br />
Same as other clay, you can wipe it with a damp cloth, but do not 'soak' it in water. <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">If you want longer durability, you can add varnish it- either matte, satin or gross. It depends on the purpose and the look you want to achieve. Eg. If you are just going to put it as a display you might want to leave it as it is, unless you want the shininess from the gross varnish.</span><br />

Not a good flash shot, I love the sofa and the chair. It was really difficult to make these because you have to wrap it so tight and still allow the stuffing inside to puff up. </div>

<a href="http://puffylittlethings.blogspot.co.nz/2012/11/pink-sweetheart-doll-house-part-1.html" target="_blank">Last post</a> I introduced this doll house kit, so now let's get started! I had a thought about making the furniture first but then I think it' better to have the whole house up first and then make the furniture, that way I can easily place them on to the house without having them randomly sitting on my table waiting to be placed. I will be making Bag A which includes the walls, roof and the exterior decoration.</div>

Glue stick does the best job because it is not sticky and watery like PVA and craft glue. It made the surface look very smooth. </div>

Yay~ I am finally able to make the doll house kit I bought last Christmas, it has been sitting in my storage room for so long. It is a very big project, and I am very excited to make it! It even has a music box and lights ( I hope I will assemble it correctly >_<)!</div>

So this is everything, I am very excited about this and very very happy with my purchase. </div>
<br />
If you ever go to China, watch out for these amazing doll house kits! I got mine for 160 RMB which is around $30 NZ dollars or $27 US, it's very cheap and it's a very detailed doll house. I will post photos of my working process as I work through them.<br />

Christmas is not even here and I am already looking forward to Valentine's next year. I learnt this from a Chinese Youtube video, the channel has a lot of cute crafts and it is one of my favourite place to go. Here is the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCSAWWth6jw&feature=plcp" target="_blank">first</a> and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6GeS476VeQ&feature=relmfu" target="_blank">second</a> part. Even though some of you might not be able to understand it but I am sure it is very easy to see the process. I absolutely adore these cuties, I made the blue one first and it took me 5 hours, then the pink one only took me 3 hours. I was very tired after making them but it's all worth it! </div>

I am going to use them as resin moulds on the hearts, too bad they are not for chocolate :D. All my moulds are use for crafts even though I really want to make cute food with them as well.<br />

<br />
These rabbits are a bit big for sweets deco in my opinion, I really want to try soap making and use these as moulds. I have watched tutorials, the processes are simple and really straight forward but I am just curious about the chemical- Lye that is used to make them. Hopefully one day I would have a chance to get it and make some soaps and cute crafts!<br />

Happy Crafting!<br />

Finally I am free!! I handed in my last assignment in today, from now on I am now going to enjoy my Christmas holiday ^_^~ While I was procrastinating from my work I made these clay pieces, I think I am addicted to these pastel colours. Since Christmas is coming up, I want to create a candy theme collection. This was my first time trying the colour mint, I wasn't sure how to mix it at first because cold porcelain dries to a darker shade when cured. However I am pleased with the result, the colour looks very refreshing.</div>
