Zombie Hello Kitty

I haven't been making very much cuties these days because I still have 2 mini bunnies, 4 normal sized bunnies, a hedgehog, fox, bear and grape monster looking for homes. I'm thinking of relisting them on Bid or Buy today. Anyway so I saw this pattern for free HERE and figured that I'd give it a try.

The zombie Hello Kitty is BORN mwhohahaha!! I made some slight adjustments to the pattern but nothing very major. What do you think of her? I especially love her bone arm!!!

She is probably the biggest cutie I have ever made and sits 11cm and is about 8cm wide (her head).

Below are some close ups.

 

See a bit of her skull peeking out there by the left ear? It's so awesome!

I tried her out with a safety eye and a cross eye but it didn't look too good so I went with a crocheted eye.

If you're interested in her, she is R130 with postage nationwide and if you're interested in any of the other cuties for sale, pop me an email at beadiecreations at gmail dot com or send me a message on the Facebook page !! :)

Custom Made Invader Zim Beanie

You know with each custom beanie that I make, I feel more proud of what I made. I ADORE this Invader Zim beanie! It's just stunning! Here are the photos!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD INVADER ZIM!!!! This is the front of the beanie as you can see.

I used a lime green colour for the base of this beanie. It apparently was hard to photograph and I didn't even really realise. The colour is very vibrant in real life.

Here you can see the whole beanie with its braids. I made the braids a bit chunkier and in a fish plait style just to be different and unique.

A close up of the side of the beanie so you can see the tongue and eyes. That tongue gave me nightmares but I eventually got it right and I'm so chuffed with it because it's just too cute!!

  

And here is the fish plait braids. Don't they look bloody AWESOME! I love how I did the braids and I LOVE how the green is more vibrant against the black. My favourite part of this beanie is these awesome braids.

  And this is just what the beanie looks like flat. The ears aren't stuffed but they hold up straight pretty well. The beanie has a little bit of extra length to it as that was requested by the client.

Custom made Boba Fett beanie

I made this beanie BEFORE the R2D2 beanie but I entirely forgot to blog about it! Epic fail hey!

Here is the front and back of the Boba Fett beanie. It looks a bit skew as it is balancing on top of TWO wine glasses for the height and I apparently never put the top wine glass on straight as I had thought.

The front is made in two parts – the T and then the red piece around it. The back is just one single T and then I made tiny T's out of felt and glued that on to the back.

 

   

Here are the two sides of the beanie.

On the right side is a sewn on yellow strip and then I made the aerial piece out of felt and glued that on.

On the left side is a sewn on green strip with just a few extras of felt that I also glued on.

This is what the top of the beanie looks like. I used chunky wool for the red pieces so it stands out nicely and the yellow tabs I cut out of felt and glued on.

 

And here is a close up of the aerial part. It took me forever to work it out but I'm very proud of how it and how the WHOLE beanie came out!!! It was worth all the long time it took!

Custom R2D2 Beanie

I had another custom order but this time for a R2D2 beanie. My custom orders I actually work off of a picture of what the client has seen and wants so it takes me a little bit longer but this R2D2 one wasn't very difficult to do at all.

What the beanie looks like lying flat.

   

These are custom extras that I made and attached to the inside of the ear flaps.

Because the beanie is made in double crochet stitch, I had to make a small square using the same colour, then sew on the extras to that square AND THEN sew it onto the inside of the beanie.

The front and sides of the beanie. I think it looks pretty awesome! I love the front of the beanie and all the separate blue square on the beanie. The front blue square I made apart and sewed on after the beanie was complete.

The top of the beanie. I started out using the royal blue and then moved onto the main colour of R2D2 called snomoon. I changed colours as needed to make the top squares. I think changing colour is my new favourite thing to do in crocheting lol!!!

 

Well what do you think of R2D2?! Cool hey! So proud of it and cannot wait for my client to receive it. If you have a picture of a beanie you ADORE on Pinterest, well then get hold of me and let me make it for you ;)

Custom Bender Beanie

Most of the time I am pretty used to people requesting their own thing or images of something they want made. It is nothing unusual to me. I like making custom pieces because I feel in today's society we should embrace what we like!

I don't make too many beanies and those I do make, except the owl ones are pretty simple and easy to make so when I got this order, I was pretty excited. It was definitely something I had never made before. Let me introduce you to Igy's Bender beanie that he wanted for his best friend (lucky friend I say):

Here is the beanie. I think I am going to need to get hold of a mannequin head somewhere seeing as Igy wants me to do some more beanies for him ;)

It took me a few days to work out the pattern for the beanie itself because I didn't have a pattern for a single crochet beanie. The rest was pretty easy to do.

  

Here is close ups of the eyes and the stuffed antenna so that it always stays stiff.

 

I cannot tell you how much fun it was to make this beanie, even though it actually took me some time to do. I'm very proud of this Bender! I'm even more happy that the client loved it :D
