DIY :: Lee Hi (이하이) It's Over Bear Hat

Here's a tutorial on how to make Lee Hi's bear hat that she wore in her 'It's Over' MV!


Materials: Hat, Felt matching hat, White felt, scissors, template, thread, needle.
I made my template by sketching it out on printer paper and cutting it out. It's basically a semi-circle.
Trace four of these on your felt that matches the hat.


You should have four cut out.


Now cut the template smaller and do it on the white felt, but this time you'll only need two.


Stitch two pink (or w/e color you're using) pieces together.


Glue the white pieces to the pink pieces.


Now stuff the insides.


Paste glue around the open area of the ear.


Hold it against the hat for as long as you can.


Ta-dah! There it is!

DIY :: Lee Hi (이하이) It's Over Headband

Lee Hi debuted earlier this year, and has released amazing singles so far! In her MV for 'It's Over' she wore cute decoden headbands with buttons, ponies, and other cute trinkets ~ I'll teach you how to recreate this headband!



The materials you'll need are: a headband, silicone caulk ($2~$3), and little childish trinkets you could find around the house or you could make your own with polymer clay like me! I have a different YouTube channel for polymer clay tutorials. You can find them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sophtheshawol



♥ Let's Get Started ♥

First, spread out silicone across the top of your headband.


These are the trinkets and cabochons I'm using for my headband.


Start sticking your trinkets onto the headband. For bigger trinkets like the pony, I used more silicone. It looks sort of weird but I put my headband on a can of corn to stretch it out a bit. I also pressed it in between two boxes on the sides.


Keep sticking them on until it's full!


And there you go~


Have fun making this!

DIY :: EXO (엑소) Wolf 88 T-Shirt Jersey

Geurae wolf naega wolf awwooooo~! In this tutorial I'll be making the WOLF 88 jersey the EXO members wore during their Wolf performances like below.


So first: Materials. You will need a plain t-shirt, fabric paint (acrylic will do but fabric paint looks neater), paper, scissors, popsicle sticks (or anything to spread the paint).

Go online and type in WOLF in a document and trace it on printer paper or parchment paper. You will then need to cut it out using scissors. 

Lay it out on your t-shirt and squeeze out paint.


Spread the paint evenly.


Do the same for the 88. As you can see in the picture below, I did the 88 in the wrong font. :(
Don't make the same mistake as me!


The paint should dry in 4+ hours (depending on what brand/kind of paint).
Have fun making this!

DIY :: B.A.P (비에이피) Jersey T-Shirt

On 130331, B.A.P preformed two songs - Candy + Don't Leave Me. They wore customized jerseys with their names written in English and their birth year as seen below. This tutorial will show you how to make this for under $5.00USD!

 


First of all, the materials you'll need are a white t-shrit/sweatshirt and some transfer paper. You'll also need a working inkjet printer and an iron. I get my t-shirts at either Michael's or Joann for $3.00 each but sometimes they have sales (4 for $10). Transfer paper is also sold at Michael's. The cheapest kind I saw was a pack of 10 for $10 but Michael's usually gives out '40% off one item' coupons so if you have a Michael's nearby remember to use that coupon!

So first you'll need to setup. Choose an ironing surface - but don't use an ironing board.

Then cover it, I used a pillowcase.


Lay out your t-shirt or sweatshirt.


Take out two sheets of transfer paper. I used this brand.


Find a plain white picture online and save it.


Open it on Ribbet or any editing program you use. Now type in the member's birth year using the Text option on the top bar. 


Now go back to 'Basic Edits' on the top bar and choose Rotate, then click the third option to flip your image. The purpose of flipping it is that when you print this out, the printed/ink side will be facing the t-shirt. If you do not flip the image now, when you go to iron the pattern onto your shirt, it'll be backwards. We don't want that now, do we~?


Do the same for the name. I used the font 'Arial'.


Flip it. Now open it on a Microsoft Word document to print it out using transfer paper.


Print it out using transfer paper. Read the directions on the package for help.


Now cut out the name and number. The smaller it is, the neater it'll look. The larger the paper is, the easier it is to iron. Keep that in mind!


Set your iron to cotton.


Iron according to directions. When I made my shirts, I doubled the time the package indicated because I was a little paranoid, but in the end it worked out fine.


After it cools, peel the paper off.


And repeat!


Here are the jerseys I made for me and my friends~!




Have fun making these! B.A.P & BABYz fighting!
