Hello everyone! Jane here
with a little craft inspiration for July, and by inspiration I mean a look at
what I’ve managed to try this month… enjoy. With the recent release of
Yoshi’s Woolly World, I can bet I’m not the only one who has felt the urge to
dig out the crochet needles in an attempt to create a Yoshi doll. But crochet
takes a long time, and I am lazy, so my crochet aspirations are pretty
unrealistic. However, sometime last month I stumbled upon a tutorial by Cintia [of mypoppet.com.au] for these lovely woollen bangle.
With Yoshi on the brain, I
couldn’t help thinking how perfect it would be for a [relatively quick] Yoshi
craft!
The only change I made was using
embroidery cotton in place of the yarn for details, as it was easier to thread
through a needle. As for materials I already owned wool, double sided tape and
embroidery cotton, so all I needed were the bangles, I picked these up from a
local charity shop [4 for £2!]. So the whole project was relatively cheap! Due
to the size I could only fit Yoshi’s head onto the bangle, if I’d given myself
more space and time I would have liked to add clouds for detail. If you are
thinking of re-creating this craft I’d suggest starting with a larger bangle to
give yourself plenty of space to work with.
Overall this was a nice little
project for July, took around 1 hour to complete and would make a cute gift!
