A Heart Pillow for Cute Mum

 A month ago, I sponsored a contest by Aishah. The winner for the prize I sponsor is Cute Mum. 

Since the winner is a mother, I changed the prize to suit her name.

I made something even more suitable for her.

Using felt cloth, I sewed her name on it....

As an additional gift, I'll give her a Smurfette key-chain...

Note:

I will post these to you soon enough. I had posted the prize using Pos Express Box RM7 last week, but Pos Malaysia returned the parcel back to me. So I have to post it again using Pos Laju.
Wait for it ya!

Same goes to Alif Sufian's prize. I was using  Pos Express Box RM4.50 and it was returned. I will post it again using Pos Laju. Don't worry ya!

Smurf World #4: Jokey

 Jokey Smurf

 Jokey is one of the characters in The Smurf series, comics and movie. Jokey is commonly seen with his exploding giftbox. He laughs a lot. He loves to play around with the other smurfs. His well-known pranks always bring laughter to others.

 

Jokey appears like the other common Smurf but is always holding a yellow giftbox. So, to make Jokey, you can use a common Smurf (without accessories), which you can buy him at any plush stores for approximately RM18.00 to RM10.00.

All we need to do is making a giftbox. That's all!

 Cut three pieces of yellow felt cloth to create a cube box.

Imagine you are making a box, that's all.

 Sew the edges neatly.

 Flip the box outside-in. Then, fill in the pillow fiber.

 Use a piece of straight-cut felt cloth to make a ribbon.

Here he is!!!

Jokey Smurf is ready to give surprise!

Smurf World #3: Smurfette

Meet my Smurfette!

She was the first female Smurf in Smurf Village.

Then, Sassette Smurfling was created by the other Smurflings to serve Smurfette.

I bought Smurfette for RM18.00 at Pasar Tani Shah Alam. However, I was not satisfied with her eyes, too small.

 Smurfette should have two big cutey-eyes so she would look beautifully pretty!

Plus, Smurfette originally should have amazing blonde hair.

So, I created her custom-made eyes so she would become cuter, somehow. I used white and black felt cloth to make the eyes.

Next, I cut some yellow felt cloth to add Smurfette some hair.

So, here she comes!!!!

This is the transformation of my dearly Smurfette!

Smurf World #2: Gutsy

 Gutsy Smurf
It is an exclusive Smurf character that only appears in the The Smurfs movie 2011. He was created for the film and does not appear in the comics or in The Smurfs cartoon series.

I didn't buy a ready-made Gutsy for it is too expensive (RM46.00).

I bought a common Smurf instead (for only RM18.00), and made some changes for him.

This is the most common Smurf you can buy at any plush stores for approximately RM18.00 to RM10.00. It appears without a single accessory.

Using brown plush cloth, make eye-brows for the smurf. Glue them on.

You can buy the brown plush cloth at KAMDAR.

Cut a piece of brown plush cloth to make Gutsy's sideburns.

Gutsy Smurf must look like, somehow, Elvis Presley.

Create a Scottish costume for Gutsy. A skirt, belt, brown pouch/bag and sling cloth.

Brown felt cloth can be used to make Gutsy's bag and belt.

Cut a piece of blue plush cloth to make a pluffy ball.

Attach the pluffy ball to the very end/top of Gutsy's hat.

Gutsy Smurf!!! Here you are!!!!

Smurf World #1: My Smurfs Family

I currently fall in love with The Smurfs...they are such cute little blue creatures.

Meet my lovely smurfs! I smurfly love them...

These are amongst the main characters in The Smurfs. In The Smurf comic, we have Papa Smurfs, 99 male Smurfs, 2 female Smurfs (Smurfette and Sassette), Grandpa Smurf, Granny Smurf and 3 Smurflings.

 Clumsy Smurf is the most common smurf character you can get at any plush store. He represents the most simple smurf among all, without a single accesories. Each smurf has his/her own characteristics, with significant personality. They can be distinguished by different accessories they are holding. FYI, Clumsy Smurf is the cheapest smurf at market. I bought Clumsy for RM18.00 only. You are lucky enough to get the lower price...down to RM15.00 to RM10.00, could be. It depends on how you bargain with the store owner.

The more accessories a smurf has, the more expensive its price is.

 An exclusive smurf like Gutsy Smurf is hardly seen at any plush stores. He could be sold at RM46.00 **nett. Well, I'm not joking. I didn't buy Gutsy. I made Gutsy's costume myself instead. I used a common smurf and put some sideburns on his face. I will show you how I made Gutsy in the next post.

Another example: Vanity Smurf is the only smurf who wears a flower on his hat and is always with his mighty mirror.

That's why I made my smurfs' accessories myself..hahaha.

I bought Vanity for RM18.00, without a mirror. So, I created Vanity's mirror myself.

 

I'll show you how I made other accessories for the other smurfs (Jokey, Smurfette, Brainy and Gutsy Smurf) using felt cloth, okay!

Simple Felt Rose

These are the tools you may need:
Felt (Pink and green), heavy glue and scissors

Cut a piece of felt cloth as in the picture.

Cut the piece to be 'waving-like' cut. Roll it to create a rose.

Glue the very end of felt cloth you roll.

As in the picture, cut a piece of green felt cloth to make two leaves.

Cut it like this.

Paste and stamp the rose on the leaves, in the middle.
