Needle Felted Hedgehog Pin Cushion Tutorial- Home Sweet Home

So it’s been a while between Home Sweet Home projects but I’m so motivated at the moment that I did like 10 of them last week 😀 First up we have a needle felted hedgehog pin cushion! Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60999

This is the second part of the previous organising of the pin cushion project. Home-Make-Over-Journal-5 Lovely reader Erin sent me a really cute pattern for a stitched felt hedgehog which I am going to make as well but I am SUPER obsessed with needle felting at the moment, it’s such an easy craft and really quick too once you get the hang of it! I bought a needle from Morris and Sons and some roving from Lincraft to start myself off ad see if I actually enjoyed it before I went crazy. VioletLeBeauxFelted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60799_17763 For the base of the hedgehog I used some white pillow stuffing so I didn’t waste my yarn XD Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60965 Stab it into a little ball the size of the body you want and flatten the bottom. I might do a more detailed tutorial/video on this later if anyone wants to see ^_^ Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60966 Cut a small piece of wool to use as a nose. Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60970 Spin it into a point at one end. Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60971 Felt it into shape and then felt it into one end of the ball. Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60973 Add random colours all over the body. I made mine quite fluffy and used synthetic fluff because it looked more cotton candy-ish. Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60975 Add some little back eyes. Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-60976 And little round feet for it to stand on.

Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-70004 I love foxes, they look so cuddly… they’re not in real life but they look like they should be! Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-70005Felted-Hedgehog-Pin-Cushion-DIY-70010 I also tried to make a Bergamot before I had any black roving so she didn’t turn out so well XD Now that I have more colours I want to remake her! VioletLeBeauxIMG_4866_18064 Have any of you guys tried needle felting? I think I’m completely addicted now!

Round Up! The Last Week of May V-Logs!

Woohoo it’s June now so the month of May V-Logs is OVER!! I had fun with it even though it wasn’t as action packed as last time haha. I’m glad it’s over though, I’m looking forward to having my nights for working again rather than video editing. I’ve already made some big progress into some of my long term products YAY!

Hope you guys enjoy the last of the V-Logs!

Vintage Rolled Hair Style Instructions
Today’s style is a simple way to do vintage style rolls using the DIY hair sausage I made.
Start by separating two smalls sections of hair at the front and pinning away your fringe.
This is my sausage.
Place it on the back of your head and roll down to your neck.
This will make sure it’s in the right position.
Fold up the rest of your hair over the sausage and tuck it inside.
This style works better with hair that’s a bit shorter than mine so it’s easier to poke in.
If you have shorter hair, you can just start wrapping from the ends but I can’t reach that far.
Roll the whole thing up to the back of your head.
Pin it in place.
Add some hairspray and smooth any loose ends.
Grab one of the side pieces and pull it backwards.
Twist it so it follows the line of the roll.
Hairspray and pin!
If it’s not puffy enough, just tease it a little and smooth in place.
Do the other side too.
You should get something like this.
This style looks great with either a straight fringe or a side swept deep part.
As far as accessories go I like to drape a strand of pearls across the top and poke them in the ends.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
