My very own Guro Lolita bunny.

I did this for my farewell dinner of MARA Science College Seremban and the theme is East meets West where the boys wear west n girls wear eastern. so i went for wa lolita and cause i dont have a handbag, i bought a bunny and modify it into a dual function handbag/bunny soft toy. I am going to hold it with my right hand as if it's a real bunny. I haven't named it yet.


What i did was:
 (material: bunny, poster colour -better if acrylic paint or corn syrup- , 
white cloth, sewing kit, zipper, candle, bandage, plaster)
(the bottom before it was cut)






 Step 1: I took measurement and estimated the location of zipper.





 Step 2: I marked the back following the location of zipper.










Step 3: I cut out following the mark. 

Took out the cottons in the torso, leaving only head and limbs cotton in.






 Step 4: Using the white cloth, I cut out the seals for the limbs and head.

This is so that the cotton wont interrupt the space for the "handbag" part. 
After measuring, I sewed the seal to the appropriate place.


(this is the seal for the hand)






Step 5: I sealed the head.




 Step 6: Sealed the other hand.


Step 7: Sealed the buttock and feet. Be careful not to sew the seal of buttock too elevated (?) cause otherwise it'd look very obvious at the front.
 Step 8: I sealed the front body. Use like only half of the space left at the belly to divide the room for cotton and also my stuffs.
 This is how it'd look like. Now, I already have room to use as a handbag.



 Step 9: I sewed the zipper. 
And this was how it looked like after I was done.








(Actually this photo is upside down. This wass my sample of bloods using the mixture of red Buncho poster colour and many other colours and water.)





 Step 10: I used the mixture of red and black (ratio 3:1) to make the deepest red colour at the 'stab wound' and only red for the surrounding blood. Then I blended the two together to make the fake red look more bloody. 
As for the splatter, I used a water spray bottle and sprayed the mixture of red and black (ratio 5:1) without water. and sprayed it in one direction.
Precaution: Dont forget to cover some parts to control the splattered region.

As for the bandage, I used the same 5:1 ratio of red:black and just wipe the colours onto the bandage.
Step 11: This is the eyepatch.
I used facial cotton (brand: Guardian) and use the same 5:1 ratio to make the X mark. I also used some red manicure material.
Glued them together like in the picture.


That is where i'm gonna put the eye patch.


Step 11: I cut two pieces of horizontal (lines?) form the white cloth to complete the eye patch. 
Burn the sides of those two clothes, and made the burn mark obvious. Sewed where appropriate.


Step 12: I also used a plaster at the ear (though it's not very obvious) and wanted to make the dripping blood but it turned out wrong..oh well.


This is how it looks like overall. 
Guro Lolita bunny handbag done.






The back side.

This is how i'm gonna bandage my hand (the hand that'll hold the bunny) there's a small ribbon there and i'm gonna splatter the blood before the event starts...

My cutie personalized table Clock!


Hallo! so this is the Clock i'm making! I'm gonna share the tutorial..but i don't have the picture of all the steps, and this is my first DIY stuff....THIS project involves a lot of cutting and sewing..so, Good Luck!!



you're gonna need: a clock (unassembled), clean white, shocking pick, and brown fabric (use desired type of fabric..but make sure not too soft and bendable at the same time) <i believe i used felt fabric>, fine pointed marker, needle and dark golden thread, some cotton, scissors, strong glue!

You'd also need a corrugated paper to help shape your clock and make it stronger. this is available at bookstore like Popular.

Clock Face
Step 1: Cut the brown fabric in 2 circular shapes, with 6cm radius..and the white one with 5.5cm radius. Also, take measurement of your clock (hours, minutes) pointer and cut the white cloth with the requires length to cover the pointers later. With the shocking pick fabric, cut two small <3 shapes to glue to the end of your clock pointer later.

Step 2:With a glue, glue the white cover of the pointers and the heart shape like in the picture. then, with the marker, draw the outline for the covers.

Step 3: Now we're going to stitch the brown circles together, with the white one in the middle. But leave some spaces to insert some cotton. This is to provide support to the clock later. Use 'insang pari' stitch. The stitch is supposed to look like this:
and it's done like this: 
                           


Step 4: Insert minimal amount of cotton. 
Now we're going to do the side.
Clock Side 
Step 1:  Cut two rectangle of 7cm X circumference of circle.


 Step 2: Stitch the two rectangles together with another 'insang pari', leaving the side partly open to insert a piece of corrugated paper afterwards.



 Step 7: Cut the corrugated paper with a slightly smaller perimeter than your rectangle. This is to allow room for the 'insang pari' stitch to take space. after This piece is inserted, continue sewing the sides of the brown rectangle till you're done.



Clock Face and Side

Step 1: Make a hole large enough for the clock (the part where u're going to put the hours n minutes pointers) to penetrate. 
Step 2: Now, let's stitch the side to the circle..using cross stitch...also use the same type of stitch to secure the ends of the sides.

                                                                
like this:


Step 3: Now, fit the clock to the hole in the circle, screw it up. with the shocking pick felt fabric, cut out diamond, heart, clover, and spade shapes in appropriate size. Also, draw an outline for the 4 shapes.

Step 4: With the white felt cloth, cut tiny stripes and glue them to the base of the clock...the end result would look like this!

Step 5: Now, glue the shapes in order (I use heart as 12, clover as 3, spade as 6, diamond as 9), and assemble the clock together.

Clock Feet

Step 1: We're going to make the feet of the clock. cut two rectangles of 7.5cm X 4.3cm. It is wider than the clock to support it.

Step 2: We're going to form a triangle, and use cross stitch to secure them together. MAKE SURE WHEN YOU STITCH THEM, PUT YOUR INDEX FINGER IN THE TRIANGLE, so that it'd be easy for the triangle to expand later. LIKE THIS:


 NOT like this~


 Step 3: Cut corrugated paper to fit in the base, and also the sides to the feet. REMEMBER: This is crucial cause the feet will decide whether your clock will be able to stand.




 Step 4: Cut the brown felt paper to use as the cover for both legs of the clock. Then, stitch the triangle cover at one side of each foot.




 Step 5: Insert some cotton until the feet is solid enough to hold the clock.



Step 6: Sew the feet completely after they're stuffed. Then, use strong glue,and glue them to the clock. Insert battery!!



DONE!!! XD
