Next Tuesday January 24th Chantilly and I will be hosting a craft night where we can all hang out and make ourselves cute little camera plushes. The craft night will be hosted live on UStream beginning at 8:00pm EST. We are already so, so excited! If you would like to join in on the craft along you will need the following supplies:
3 pieces of black felt
1 piece of blue felt
1 small piece of grey felt (must be able to cut a 2.5 inch diameter circle out of it)
1 small piece of white felt
2 buttons approximately 1 inch in diameter (for top of camera)
1 button approximately 1/2 inch in diameter (for front of camera)
Coordinating colours of embroidery thread
Sewing needle
Straight pins
Sewing machine (totally optional as you can sew this completely by hand)
We are assuming standard sized pieces of felt (approximately 9"x11.5") The colours of felt given are just a guide so you can see how much felt you need for each part. If you want to make the black part neon yellow you totally can...just make sure you have three sheets of neon yellow felt.
The finished size of this camera is around 5 inches tall x 8.25 inches wide (just FYI) and the pattern pieces you need will be made available the morning of the 24th so that you can print them out if you would like.
It will definitely be a lot of fun which I'm sure will include lots of instances of me trying to be funny, Chantilly actually being funny and possibly even some kittens. There better be kittens. I'm totally leaving if there are no kittens.
Let me know if you think you will be able to make it! I would love to pop by your blog and get to know you if I don't already!

Oooh! I always have tuesday nights off work so that is perfect! I'll have to get my supplies together for it!
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds amazing! Will it be available to view after the fact? I'll be tucked up in bed on account of the time difference. Maybe you could do one after May when I'll be living in Ontario and in the same timezone ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea - sad I am going to be missing it due to the time delay xxx
ReplyDeleteI saw plushies very like this in Urban Outfitters for something like £12 and immediately thought "I could make that for about a fiver..."

AAARRRRGGGHHH! Elycia, ever had that moment when you get so excited, you think your heart missed a beat? Then you realise that you're double booked and then you really learn the feeling of a missed heart beat? Tuesdays are my Women's Institute evening so I cannot attend. Are you going to be posting the video afterwards or is it live stream only?
ReplyDeleteAwwww bummer! We haven't talked about recording it yet but I don't see why we can't :)
DeleteOhhh that sounds fun!! I hope I can make it in, lets hope my art prof doesn't keep us in the full 3 hours on the first day of class with no supplies!!
ReplyDeleteI have a nice pile of felt, waiting to be used.
The hubby is working that night, but at least ONE kid will be in bed by then so maybe I'll get to join! The camera sure is adorable :)
ReplyDeletefun stuff! i wish you guys were in my city :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun!!! I'm definitely going to try to make it!
ReplyDeletesuper fun idea! I hope to join you all!
ReplyDeletethis looks like so much fun! i want to try this!
ReplyDeleteYay I don't work that day so I should definitely be there!! and EST is my time. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! Hopefully I will be able to tune in but it is 5pm my time and I will just be getting off work so not sure I can make it happen. Hopefully this is just the first of many craft nights?
ReplyDeleteIm going to hope Im not burned dowm with work and college so I can be there ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds nice! :) I'm afraid I'll be asleep at that time here in Finland. Would be great if you could record the whole thing so I (and others living in a different time zone) could see it later!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome! I just bought my first sewing machine yesterday and want to learn how to make something cute, so maybe I'll give this a try :)
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how much I love this idea! I might try and join in, otherwise definitely will be in next time! Oh my! Now that I've found your blog I'm going to get a cup of tea, and read through a few of your sweet sweet posts! <3
