Hello little blog. I'm sorry for neglecting you.<br />
I know I have been spending way too much time on <a href="https://instagram.com/audrey_studiopaars/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> lately. And also I've been crafting like a maniac, because in a few weeks I'm doing a craft fair!<br />
Well, it's a tiny market really. I think. It's new so I have no idea how big it will be.<br />
Anyway, just wanted to show a little something (the first of a lot more I hope) I made recently. I was seeing all the lovely embroidered hoops everywhere and after some doubts I finally started making my own. They are so much fun to make!<br />
They would look lovely in any nursery and make the perfect personal gift for any parent-to-be, embroidered with the baby's name and (optional) date of birth etc. <br />
I am now considering selling custom name hoops on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioPaars" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>; not sure how to go about that though. Any tips?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>Hallo! *zwaai* Lang niet gezien!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>Ik breng veel te veel tijd door op <a href="https://instagram.com/audrey_studiopaars/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>...</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>Ook ben ik druk aan het maken voor een handmade marktje waar ik ga staan begin augustus (ben je op 9 augustus in de buurt van Zoetermeer? <a href="http://www.marktinhetpark.nl/" target="_blank">Kom dan kijken!</a>)</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>Ik wilde in elk geval graag alvast deze laten zien: een voorbeeld van een custom borduurring met (baby) naam. Ik maak deze op aanvraag. Superleuk voor in de babykamer of als cadeau voor aanstaande ouders!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>Ik wil ze gaan aanbieden in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioPaars" target="_blank">mijn Etsy shop</a> maar ik weet niet precies hoe ik dat het best aan kan pakken; heb je misschien tips voor me?</i></span><br />

I finished this little fellow! (WIP photos <a href="http://hetkabinet.blogspot.nl/2015/03/wip-wednesday-some-knitting-and-some.html" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
It started as a little experiment but I like the result so much I decided to frame it and hopefully someday it will get to be on display in my craft room. Imaginary craft room, that is.<br />
<br />
I started with a little scrap of wool felt. I randomly placed some scrap wool roving and lightly needle felted it to the surface. It started to look like a landscape to me so I embroidered the birds and the fence. Then it started to become a garden so I embroidered the edges of the path and needle felted the natural wool to resemble gravel. Then came the french knot (or colonial knot; I don't remember) flower beds, and last came the vegetable patch.<br />
<br />
I love it! I feel unreasonably proud of this little thing actually *grins*<br />
I think the combination of techniques and materials worked really well. The needle felted wool has a slightly transparant look, not unlike watercolor. And the whole thing has great texture too.<br />
The scale is a little off though; it's too big to be turned into a brooch and too small to be anything else. So I sewed it into a picture frame to make it easier to display. <br />
<br />
I will be experimenting further with this. Maybe next time I will try adding fabric to the mix.<br />
<br />

<br />
Button necklaces! <br />
They are really easy to make, and so much fun! You could easily make these with kids too. Just choose some pretty buttons and string them. I used waxed cotton cord in matching colors, but you could use yarn, linen, hemp or silk if you're feeling super fancy. The hardest part is choosing the buttons!<br />
I used a mixture of new buttons and vintage ones. Some of those are quite old and I think some might be bakelite. They get to stand out now, instead of being buried in the bottom of my button jars.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Knopenkettingen!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Supermakkelijk te maken, en superleuk! Je kan ze makkelijk met kinderen maken, of gewoon zelf. Kies een paar mooie knopen en rijg ze aan een touwtje. Ik gebruikte katoenen waxkoord in bijpassende kleurtjes, maar je kan ook wol gebruiken, linnen of hennep koord of (als je echt heel chic wil doen) zijde. Het moeilijkste is om de knopen te kiezen!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Ik gebruikte vintage en nieuwe knopen door elkaar. Sommige zijn heel oud en ik denk dat er een paar van bakeliet tussen zitten. Nu stelen ze de show, in plaats van onderin mijn knopenpotten te blijven liggen.</i></span><br />

I'm thinking of having a little givewaway for some of these. What do you think?<br />

======================================================<br />
<br />
Hello there :) I am happy to *finally* be able to invite you to my Instagram feed!<br />
My phone hated the IG app but eventually I convinced it to make it work. So that's where I have been these past few days. I am still discovering some of the features but I like that it is simple and fast, so I expect to be posting lots of WIP-shots there.<br />
So if you would like to, come have a look! Leave your name in the comments if you would like me to do the same. I am <a href="http://instagram.com/audrey_studiopaars/">@audrey_studiopaars</a> over there.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Hallo :) Ik ben zo blij dat ik *eindelijk* mensen mijn Instagram feed kan laten zien!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Mijn telefoon had geloof ik een hekel aan de IG app, maar na heel veel proberen is het me toch gelukt om hem werkend te krijgen. Dus daar was ik de afgelopen dagen. Ik heb nog niet alles helemaal door maar ik vind het leuk dat het zo makkelijk en snel is, dus ik denk dat ik daar veel WIP-foto's zal plaatsen.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Dus als je zin hebt, kom even bij me kijken! Zet je naam in de comments als je wilt dat ik ook bij jou langskom. Ik ben daar <a href="http://instagram.com/audrey_studiopaars/">@audrey_studiopaars</a>.</i></span><br />

<br />
Anyway. I did a little embroidery inspired by this post on the wonderful <a href="http://www.feelingstitchy.com/2015/05/learn-couched-filling-stitch.html" target="_blank">Feeling Stitchy</a> blog. This is called the Couched Filling Stitch and it is very easy - follow the link to their post for a very detailed tutorial.<br />
I used some gingham fabric (which also meant I didn't need to draw any lines) and played with multocoloured thread.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Maar goed. Ik heb een beetje geborduurd, geïnspireerd door deze post op het super <a href="http://www.feelingstitchy.com/2015/05/learn-couched-filling-stitch.html" target="_blank">Feeling Stitchy</a> blog. Het heet "the Couched Filling Stitch" (geen idee wat de nederlandse naam is) en het is heel eenvoudig - volg de link naar hun post voor een uitgebreide tutorial (in het engels maar met duidelijke foto's). </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Ik gebruikte ruitjesstof (dus hoefde ik ook geen lijntjes te tekenen) en speelde wat met multikleurig garen.</i></span>

Today I was enjoying our first real day of spring after a long dreary grey winter by taking photographs outside of some lovely new washi tapes for <a href="http://www.dawanda.com/shop/HetKralenkabinet" target="_blank">my shop</a> when I got distracted by all the Spring happening around me :)<i><br /></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Ook zo genoten van de eerste echte lentedag na die grijze grauwe winter? Ik ging lekker in de tuin foto's maken van wat nieuwe washi tapejes voor <a href="http://www.dawanda.com/shop/HetKralenkabinet" target="_blank">mijn winkeltje</a>, maar raakte afgeleid door al het Lenterigs om me heen :)</i></span><br />

It would be great if you could spare a moment to look at / heart / follow etc. some of them, and support some wonderful makers!<br />

======================================================<br />
<br />
Good morning! I finally managed to take some pictures this wednesday so I can actually show a couple of things I'm working on (or should be working on) .<br />
First there is this little experiment. On a whim I needle felted some scrap wool roving to a piece of scrap wool felt to try embroidering over it. From there everything just came together as I was working on it, without having a clear image in my head. It's really wonderful when that happens. <br />
I would love to finish it. I just need to find the time for a little more stitching. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Goedemorgen! Eindelijk heb ik eens wat foto's gemaakt zodat ik wat kan laten zien op deze WIP-woensdag.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i></i></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Ten eerste dit kleine experimentje. Het is een restje wolvilt met daaroverheen wat restjes wol genaaldvilt, en daaroverheen weer geborduurd. Het ontstond terwijl ik ermee bezig was, zonder dat ik een duidelijk plan voor ogen had. Heerlijk is dat.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Ik zou het erg graag afmaken; nu alleen de tijd vinden voor nog wat steekjes.</i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/16898947966" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="WIP: Needlefelting + embroidery + felt by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="WIP: Needlefelting + embroidery + felt" height="640" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7284/16898947966_b9ab4657c7_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Second is this <a href="https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=baktus%20scarf" target="_blank">Baktus scarf</a> (the pattern is super simple and can be found here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/norwayneedles/2963651011/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/norwayneedles/2963651011/</a>). I started knitting it in the fall, because for once I thought I'd knit myself a scarf <i>before </i>I actually needed it. The knitting was done in less than a week, but since I used scrap yarn there is a gazillion ends to weave in. So that's where I left it... all winter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Dan deze <a href="https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=baktus%20scarf" target="_blank">Baktus sjaal</a> (het patroon in supermakkelijk en staat hier: (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/norwayneedles/2963651011/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/norwayneedles/2963651011/</a>). Ik begon met breien in de herfst, zodat ik eindelijk eens een sjaal af zou hebben </i>voordat <i>ik hem daadwerkelijk nodig had. Ik was klaar met breien in minder dan een week, maar omdat ik restjes gebruikte zijn er een triljoen eindjes weg te werken. Dus daar ben ik gebleven... de hele winter.</i></span><br />

<br />
The husband and I both enjoy a nice thrift store or flea market once in a while, and today I took out some of my favorite vintage finds outside in the early spring sunshine (Finally! Our winter has been long and grey and dreary and frankly I'm sick of it).<br />
<br />
The tray and the enamel coffee pot are my husband's finds; the cute little lidded jar and the 3 egg cups came from 2 different flea markets. The egg cups are printed with a very sweet blue flowers design (forget-me-nots maybe). I think we paid 25 cents for the jar and the egg cups were 10 cents each, positively a steal! Most thrift stores charge a lot more than this though; for the best finds (and with a bit of luck) I usually the prefer flea markets.<br />
Unfortunately our boys have started complaining about all the thrifting...<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>De man en ik houden allebei wel van een kringloopje of een rommelmarkt zo nu en dan, en vandaag heb ik een paar van mijn favoriete vondsten eens even in het lentezonnetje gefotografeerd (Eindelijk! Die lange grijze rotwinter komt mijn neus uit!).</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Het dienblaadje en de emaille koffiepot heeft de man gevonden; dat leuke kleine potje met deksel en de 3 eierdopjes komen van 2 verschillende rommelmarkten. De eierdopjes hebben een heel lief printje van blauwe bloemetjes (vergeetmenietjes denk ik). Ik geloof dat we 25 cent hebben betaald voor het potje en de eierdopjes waren 10 cent per stuk. Een koopje dus! De meeste kringlopen zijn een stuk duurder dan dit; ik vind rommelmarkten meestal leuker en met een beetje geluk vind je er de beste spullen. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Helaas klagen de jongens tegenwoordig als we weer eens willen gaan rommelmarkten...</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm moving my blog; the new location of this post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/en/laptop-bag/" target="_blank">Studio Paars - Laptop bag (or sleeve)</a></span><br />

<br />
======================================================<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/16559816819" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="laptop bag 01 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="laptop bag 01" height="426" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8594/16559816819_661a37c996_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Recently I made this laptop bag for myself. I'm calling it a prototype since making it was a real learning experience and I made several mistakes. But I do like the results: it's practical (I use it everyday) and I LOVE the fabric (Ikea).<br />
<br />
To make it I just cut a large rectangle out of outer fabric, batting and lining. I sewed up the sides, finished the top with matching red bias tape, sewed a pocket onto the front and sewed on the strap. That's it, really.<br />
<br />
If I make another one I will take photos along the way so that I can post a tutorial. I think anyone with basic sewing skills could whip up one of these within an hour or two in the fabric of choice and to the exact size of your laptop or other gadget.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Laatst heb ik voor mezelf een laptoptas gemaakt. Ik noem het een prototype omdat het maken ervan nogal een leerervaring was en ik een aantal fouten heb gemaakt. Maar toch ben ik tevreden met het resultaat: de tas is praktisch (ik gebruik 'm elke dag) en ik ben wild van het stofje (Ikea).</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i><br />
</i></span> <span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Om de tas te maken knipte ik simpelweg een rechthoek uit buitenstof, vulling en voering. Ik naaide de zijkanten vast, werkte de bovenkant af met bijpassend rode biasband,, naaide een zak op de voorkant en naaide de draagband erop. Dat was eigenlijk alles.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i><br />
</i></span> <span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Als ik er nog één maak zal ik foto's maken van het proces zodat ik er een tutorial over kan posten. Ik denk dat iedereen met de basisvaardigheden van het naaien er eentje kan maken in een uurtje of twee, in de stof naar keuze en perfect passend voor je eigen laptop of andere gadget.</i></span><br />

<br />
======================================================<br />
<br />
I made yet another cuff. This time I changed the design a bit, removing the button and buttonhole and adding a little elastic to make it fit easily.<br />
This one won't be making it to my Etsy shop since it was made as a thank-you gift for my friend, but I really like the look of this one so I will be making more alike.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Weer een cuff gemaakt. Deze keer heb ik het ontwerp wat gewijzigd, onder andere de knoop-en-knoopsgat sluiting vervangen door een stukje elastiek.<br />
Deze gaat niet naar mijn Etsy shop want ik maakte hem als bedankje voor een vriendin, maar ik ben erg tevreden over dit ontwerp dus ik ga er zeker meer maken.</i></span><br />

Another quick post.... one of these days I will make the time to write a proper one, I promise!<br />
<br />
This time I just wanted to show you a new felt embroidered cuff I made.

Now I get to make her another one :)<br />

<br />
I finished it!<br />
(click <a href="http://hetkabinet.blogspot.com/search/label/patchwork_blanket" target="_blank">here </a>to see the whole lengthy process)<br />
Actually, I finished it back in August, but Little Brother immediately carried it off to his bed so I didn't get around to photographing it until now. He absolutely loves it!<br />
This has been the most rewarding thing I have ever made for my sons (despite that the one I made for Big Brother didn't turn out quite right) - they both enjoy their blankets so much.They got to choose the colours, help pick the fabrics and see me spend a lot (a <i>whole</i> lot) of time making it, I think it makes them feel extra special. And me too: making something for a loved one feels good :)<br />
<br />
Well, enough mushy talk. Here are lots of pictures!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Hij is klaar! </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>(Kleine Broer z'n patchwork deken bedoel ik dan - wil je het hele lange proces zien, klik dan <a href="http://hetkabinet.blogspot.nl/search/label/patchwork_blanket" target="_blank">hier</a>)</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Nouja, hij was in augustus al klaar, maar Kleine Broer ging er meteen mee vandoor en legde hem op zijn bed, dus ik heb nu pas eindelijk foto's kunnen maken. Hij is er zo gek op!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Dit is echt het meest dankbare dat ik ooit voor mijn zoontjes heb gemaakt (ook al is die van Grote Broer niet helemaal geworden zoals de bedoeling was) - ze zijn allebei dol op hun dekens. Ze mochten de kleur kiezen, helpen met de lapjes kiezen en ze zagen hoe ik er lang (echt </i>heel <i>lang) aan werkte; ik denk dat het ze extra speciaal laat voelen. En mij trouwens ook: iets maken voor iemand waarvan je houdt voelt gewoon heel goed :)</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Okee, genoeg sentimenteel gedoe. Hier zijn heel veel foto's!</i></span><br />

Some tension issues with my sewing machine again *sigh*
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Weer eens wat problemen met de draadspanning van mijn naaimachine *zucht*</span></i><br />

<br />
And this was my first time working with bias binding. I love this little print and the way it looks - it really finishes the blanket off. When I bought it I was worries it would be too narrow, but I think in the end it worked out just perfectly.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>En dit is de eerste keer dat ik biasband gebruikte. Ik ben<span style="background-color: white;"> een bee</span>tje verliefd op dit groene bandje met dat kleine printje - maakt het echt helemaal af. Toen ik het kocht was ik bang dat het misschien te smal was voor een deken, maar uiteindelijk staat het perfect vind ik.</i></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
As for the technical details: I haven't measured the finished quilt but the squares measure 15x15 cm and I made 15 rows of 10 squares, so it should measure to a little over 140x220 cm (which is a standard blanket size).<br />
I bought the binding, the wadding and some of the fabrics at our weekly market; the wadding is a thick cotton flannel. It makes the blanket nice and heavy but still relatively thin.<br />
The backing was originally a duvet cover from Ikea which my mom got on sale and gave to me. I had it laying around for years until this seemed like the perfect project to use it on.<br />
Fabrics are from my stash, my mom's and my sister's and even from my grandmother's. One is from and old fabric swap, and a few I got at a fabric market years ago. Several of the fabrics I also used for <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/8976941277/in/set-72157625043652206" target="_blank">Big Brother's blanket</a>.<br />
A few of the fabrics I got online: the green cars are Cruiser Blvd Cars Green by Sheri McCulley Studio for Riley Blake, the multi coloured cars are Cruiser Blvd Mini Blue by Sheri McCulley Studio for Riley Blake, and the airplanes are Ready Set Go Sky Airplanes by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman (all bought at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartandHomeFabrics" target="_blank">this Etsy shop</a>) .There are others but I can't find the details on them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Technische details: ik heb hem niet meer opgemeten, maar de vierkantjes zijn 15x15 cm en er zijn 15 rijen van 10 vierkantjes, dus de maat komt daarmee op iets meer dan 140x220 cm (een standaard dekbed maat).</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>De bias, de vulling en sommige stofjes kocht ik op de markt. De vulling is een dikke katoenen flanel: lekker zwaar maar niet super warm.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>De achterkant was een dekbedovertrek van Ikea die mijn moeder afgeprijsd had gekocht en aan mij had gegeven. Het lag al een paar jaar in de kast en was perfect voor deze deken.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Stofjes komen uit mijn eigen voorraad, die van mijn moeder, mijn zus en zelfs nog van mijn oma. Eentje komt uit een oude lapjesswap, en een paar kocht ik een paar jaar geleden op een stoffenmarkt. Een aantal van de lapjes zit ook in <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/8976941277/in/set-72157625043652206" target="_blank">de deken van Grote Broer</a>.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Een paar stofjes kocht ik online: de groene autotjes zijn Cruiser Blvd Cars Green by Sheri McCulley Studio
for Riley Blake, de multi gekleurde autotjes zijn Cruiser Blvd Mini Blue by
Sheri McCulley Studio for Riley Blake, en de vliegtuigjes zijn Ready Set
Go Sky Airplanes by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman (allemaal gekocht bij <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartandHomeFabrics" target="_blank">deze Etsy winkel</a>). Er waren er nog meer maar ik kan de bon niet meer vinden.</i></span>

<br />
One of the workshops I am offering for my new business is "Crochet a Granny Square". So in order to refresh my skills and have an example at hand I made this phone cozy. It is super easy to make: all it takes is one single Granny Square! Here is a tutorial:<br />
<br />
So you just crocheted your first Granny Square, but now what to do with it? A potholder is always an option ofcourse, but another one is to easily turn it into a phone cozy.<br />
<br />
Step 1: crochet a basic Granny Square in the colours of your choice. Stop adding rounds when the square is just barely too small to wrap around your phone (for me this was after 9 rounds).<br />
<br />
Step 2: fold the square in half and close it with crochet, starting at one of the folded corners. Single Crochet (sc) 3 into the gap between the clusters of stitches, taking care to make the stitches go through both layers. Chain Stitch (cs) 2 and repeat. When you reach the corner, sc 6 (with no extra cs in between), then repeat as before, alternating sc 3 and cs 2, until you reach the final gap at the side.<br />
<br />
Step 3: weave in your ends and try the fit for your phone. If it's a bit too tight you can simply pull the cosy into the desired shape; if necessary, wet it before shaping and allow it to dry completely before trying it on again.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Eén van de workshops die ik aanbied voor mijn eigen bedrijf is een workshop <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/workshops/workshop-granny-square-haken-bij-studio-paars/" target="_blank">"Granny Square haken"</a>. Dus om mijn eigen vaardigheden weer eens op te halen, en ook om een voorbeeldje bij de hand te hebben, haakte ik dit telefoonhoesje. Hij was super makkelijk te maken: er is maar één enkele Granny Square voor nodig! Hier is de tutorial:</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Dus je hebt je eerste Granny Square gehaakt, maar wat doe je er nu
mee? Een pannelap is één optie natuurlijk, maar je kan er ook heel
gemakkelijk een telefoonhoesje van maken.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Stap 1: haak
een Granny Square in de kleurtjes die je wilt. Stop met haken als het
vierkant nog nét te klein is om om je telefoon heen te wikkelen (bij mij
was dat na 9 toeren).</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Stap 2: vouw het vierkant dubbel
en haak hem dicht vanaf één van de dubbelgevouwen hoeken. Haak steeds 3
vasten in de opening tussen de segmentjes (let op dat je door beide
lagen heen haakt) en dan 2 lossen. Wanneer je bij de hoek komt haak je 6
vasten (geen extra lossen voor de hoek). Daarna weer verder met steeds 3
vasten en 2 lossen, totdat je boven aan de zijkant in de laatste opening 3 vasten hebt gehaakt.<br />
Stap 3: hecht je draden af en pas hem om je telefoon. Als het nog iets te
strak zit kan je het hoesje wat in vorm trekken; eventueel eerst nat
maken en na het in vorm trekken goed laten drogen.</i></span>

I have been such a bad blogger....<br />
I want to say sorry (again) to the winners of my previous giveaway; your parcels are underway and I hope they arrive swiftly.<br />
The second giveaway (see below) is still open by the way.<br />
I have so much to show you all but have to wait until I can take pictures. But because a blog post without images is no blog post at all, here is a quick pic of a new felt pattern I am working on. I'm not happy with the eyes yet... so it's still a prototype of sorts.<br />
Will be back soon!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>OMG niet te geloven hoe lang ik weg ben geweest... </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Ik elk geval (nogmaals) sorry naar de giveaway winnaars; jullie pakjes zijn onderweg en ik hoop dat ze snel aankomen.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Mijn laatste giveaway loopt nog trouwens (hint ;)</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Ik heb heel veel om te laten zien maar dat moet wachten totdat ik goeie foto's kan maken. Maar omdat een blogpost zonder plaatjes geen blogpost is, hierbij een kiekje van een nieuw patroontje waaraan ik werk. Ik ben nog niet helemaal tevreden met de ogen... dus is het voorlopig slechts een soort prototype.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Tot gauw!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm moving my blog; the new location of this post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/en/craft-stash/" target="_blank">Studio Paars - Lots of additions to The Stash</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><i>Mijn blog verhuist; de nieuwe locatie van deze post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/nl/handwerkmaterialen/" target="_blank">Studio Paars - Nieuwe handwerkspullen gekocht</a></i></span><br />
<br />
======================================================<br />
<br />
It seems I have been on a bit of a shopping spree lately! I'm done now, I promise. But it has been great having several packages arrive in the mail these past days, and all for me :-D<br />
<i><span style="color: #a64d79;">De laatste tijd heb ik een beetje veel besteld! Nu ben ik klaar, echt waar. Maar het was wel even leuk om steeds pakjes in de post te vinden, en nog wel helemaal voor mezelf :-D</span></i><br />
<br />
<div>
First, I ordered some stamps from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissHoneyBird" target="_blank">MissHoneyBird on Etsy</a>. I love her stamps and designs, and when I ordered from her before I was pleasantly surprised by the added extras and the lovely packaging. And this time was no different, see:<br />
<i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Eerst bestelde ik een paar stempeltjes bij <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MissHoneyBird" target="_blank">MissHoneyBird op Etsy</a>. Ik had al eerder iets bij haar besteld, en het was superleuk ingepakt met allerlei extra'tjes. En deze keer was het niet anders, kijk maar: </span></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/14855411847" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="stamps_2 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="stamps_2" height="400" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3888/14855411847_f68ca20ae9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/15041599452" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="stamps_3 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="stamps_3" height="266" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3903/15041599452_490d8405a9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/14855240329" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="stamps_1 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="stamps_1" height="400" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5593/14855240329_3c99b75702.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I ordered some yarn for a scarf I want to make (more on that later). I looked around for quite a while and ended up with Lace Merino Print from <a href="http://www.lanagrossa.com/" target="_blank">Lana Grossa</a>, ordered from <a href="https://www.lanagrossa-store.com/lana-grossa-yarns/wool-lana-grossa-lace-merino-print-id_4147.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The yarn is lovely, soft and silky, but the colours were a little different from what I was expecting. I think I can make it work out though.<br />
<i style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></i>
<i style="color: #a64d79;">Toen bestelde ik wolletjes voor een sjaal (meer daarover een andere keer). Ik heb een hele tijd gezocht en uiteindelijk kwam ik uit bij </i><i style="color: #a64d79;">Lace Merino Print van <a href="http://www.lanagrossa.com/" target="_blank">Lana Grossa</a>, en ik bestelde het <a href="https://www.lanagrossa-store.com/lana-grossa-yarns/wool-lana-grossa-lace-merino-print-id_4147.html" target="_blank">hier</a>. De wol is prachtig, zacht en soepel, maar de kleuren waren wel een beetje anders dan ik had verwacht. Maar ik denk dat ik er wel wat mee kan.</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/15038898971" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="yarn_1 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="yarn_1" height="400" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3853/15038898971_ac7783ce0e.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/15041955095" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="yarn_2 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="yarn_2" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5585/15041955095_44d112d08b.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And then I wanted to try something new. I never embroidered with anything other than stranded DMC floss, so I was looking for something like Perle Cotton to try. Also, I wanted to give variegated thread a try.<br />
So when I came across <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/cottonheart" target="_blank">this store on Etsy</a> I had to give <a href="http://www.etsy.com/transaction/217909685" target="_blank">these</a> a try. At €18 for 24 balls I couldn't resist! They did take a while to get to Holland from Paraguay(!) but that was to be expected.<br />
I haven't tried them yet but they sure look lovely! (there are 2 balls each of 12 different colourways)<br />
<i><span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #a64d79;">En toen wilde ik eens wat nieuws proberen. Ik heb tot nu toe alleen met DMC splitgaren geborduurd, dus ik was op zoek naar iets van Perle Coton ofzo om uit te proberen, en ook wilde ik eens iets doen met veelkleurig garen.</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>Dus toen ik </i><i><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/cottonheart" target="_blank">deze Etsy shop</a> vond moest ik </i><i><a href="http://www.etsy.com/transaction/217909685" target="_blank">deze</a> wel proberen! Ik betaalde uiteindelijk (inclusief verzenden) </i><i>€18 voor 24 ballen. Het duurde wel even voor ze hier waren uit Paraguay(!) maar dat verwachtte ik ook wel. </i></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Ik heb ze nog niet gebruikt maar ze zien er mooi uit. Er zijn 2 balletjes elk in 12 verschilldende kleurstellingen. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<br />

<br />
And lastly I received a gift from my lovely sister, who recently returned from a vacation in the french Provence (lucky her!). It is a block of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marseille_soap" target="_blank">french olive soap</a>, to use for felting. It smells soooo good, I can't wait to give it a try!<br />
<i style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></i>
<i style="color: #a64d79;">En als laatste kreeg ik een cadeautje van mijn lieve zus die op vakantie was geweest in de Provence (geluksvogel!). Het is een blok </i><i style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marseille_soap" target="_blank">franse olijf zeep</a>, om te gebruiken voor het natvilten. </i><br />
<i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Het ruikt echt super lekker, ik kan niet wachten om ermee aan de slag te gaan!</span></i><br />

It seems I forgot to post some of my <a href="http://pintangle.com/tast-faq/" target="_blank">TAST</a> stitches, even though I did already make and edit the photos. So an easy post for me today, although maybe a little vague on the details.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Ik bleek een paar <a href="http://pintangle.com/tast-faq/" target="_blank">TAST</a> steken te zijn vergeten te posten, ondanks dat ik al de foto's had gemaakt en bewerkt. Makkelijk postje voor mij dus vandaag, maar misschien wel een beetje vaag hier en daar.</span></i><br />

<br />
Recently I felt like doing some crochet and started <a href="http://hetkabinet.blogspot.nl/2011/11/gehaakte-tas.html">another</a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/search?sort=relevance&text=crochet%20lucy%20bag%20" target="_blank">Lucy bag</a>. This time I finished it in no time! So now please meet my new market bag.<br />
I used different types of regular crochet cotton and a 4mm hook. In following Lucy's example of using lots of colour, I *may* have gone a little overboard. Maybe.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Laatst had ik zin om wat te haken en begon maar aan een <a href="http://hetkabinet.blogspot.nl/2011/11/gehaakte-tas.html">tweede</a> ''<a href="https://www.flickr.com/search?sort=relevance&text=crochet%20lucy%20bag%20" target="_blank">Lucy bag</a>'. Deze keer had ik 'm supersnel af! Dus tada: mijn nieuwe boodschappentas.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Ik gebruikte verschillende soorten standaard haakatoen en een 4mm haak. Naar Lucy's voorbeeld probeerde ik lekker veel kleur te gebruiken en het *zou* kunnen dat ik een beetje ben doorgeslagen daarin. Heel misschien.</span></i><br />

<br />
I did not post regular updates as I had planned, but here finally is one on my <a href="http://hetkabinet.blogspot.com/2014/02/wip-wednesday-little-brothers-patchwork.html">second patchwork blanket</a> (or should I call it a quilt?).<br />
I'm in the final stages of quilting: maybe about 30 minutes of sewing left. Then it just needs binding and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/8978132474/" target="_blank">a label like my first one</a> (I started the embroidery last night).<br />
I'm so excited to be finishing it! I had sort of lost my enthousiasm for it, but then a few weeks ago my sister visited and I showed it to her, and in telling about it I started feeling happy and proud about it again. So as soon as she left I pulled out my sewing machine and started working on it again!<br />
And now Little Brother keeps asking if it's finished yet, so that's nice too :)<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/14839377201" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="LB patchwork blanket WIP by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="LB patchwork blanket WIP" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3872/14839377201_27bd981438_c.jpg" height="425" width="640"></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Almost finished!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Eigenlijk was ik van plan om regelmatige updates van <a href="http://hetkabinet.blogspot.com/2014/02/wip-wednesday-little-brothers-patchwork.html">mijn tweede patchwork deken</a> (of toch quilt?) te posten, maar dat is er niet van gekomen.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Ik ben nu bijna klaar met het doortstikken (of quilten); misschien nog een half uurtje te gaan. Dan is er alleen nog het afwerken met een biasband en <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/8978132474/" target="_blank">een label op de achterkant</a> (gisteravond ben ik alvast begonnen met borduren).</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Ik kan niet wachten tot 'ie af is! Ik was een beetje mijn enthousiasme ervoor kwijt, maar een paar weken geleden kwam mijn zus langs en liet ik hem aan haar zien. En terwijl ik erover verteld voelde ik me weer helemaal blij en trots erover, en zodra ze weg was trok ik mijn naaimachine tevoorschijn en ging aan de slag!</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>En Kleine Broer vraagt alsmaar of </i>zijn <i>deken al af is; dat helpt ook :)

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm moving my blog; the new location of this post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/en/jewellery-giveaway/" target="_blank">Studio Paars - ’Old’ jewellery giveaway! – CLOSED</a></span><br />

<br />
======================================================<br />
<br />
CLOSED --- GESLOTEN<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been going over the inventory of my shop, and there were somethings there that needed to go. I have been making jewellery since 2006 and some of the things I made over these last 8 years just don't fit anymore in what I want to be making (and selling). I thought about taking these thing apart but decided I would rather give them away to someone who will enjoy them.<br />
So, for starters I have 3 pieces (or sets) of jewellery I will be giving away. If this is a succes then more may follow!<br />
<br />
<u>HOW TO ENTER</u><br />
Simple: just leave a comment below, telling me which one you would like and make sure to include a way for me to contact you.<br />
Open worldwide!<br />
If I can't reach the winner, or you don't respond to my messages in a week, I will draw a new winner.<br />
And it is not an obligation, but I would really REALY appreciate it if you would visit, follow, tweet, like, heart, favourite etc. etc. :)<br />
Good luck!<br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><i>Ik ben de voorraad van mijn winkeltje zo eens aan het uitzoeken geweest, en ik kwam wat dingen tegen die, na 8 jaar sieraden maken, niet meer passen in wat in wil maken (en verkopen).

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm moving my blog; the new location of this post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/en/natural-history-museum/" target="_blank">Studio Paars - A visit to my favourite museum: Naturalis in Leiden</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><i>Mijn blog verhuist; de nieuwe locatie van deze post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/nl/natuurhistorisch-museum/" target="_blank">Studio Paars - Een bezoek aan mijn favoriete museum: Naturalis in Leiden</a></i></span><br />
<br />
======================================================<br />
<br />
Something different here on my blog today, because recently me and the boys took a trip to my favourite museum. (summer holiday + lots of rain + thunderstorm = museum) I love it, and I also love taking photos there, so I thought it would be nice to share a few.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.naturalis.nl/en/" target="_blank">Naturalis</a> is a museum of natural history. It's a very modern museum with lots of interactive elements. It is located in Leiden in a very beautiful old building connected with a walkway across the road to a very new building. This old-meets-new theme is something that you find time and again as you walk around (like the ancient labels on some of the jars), and for me is part of the charm. But then ofcourse there is also the dinosaurs...!<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Eens een keer iets anders hier op mijn blog, want laatst ging ik met de jongens naar mijn favoriete museum. (zomervakantie + stortregen + onweer = museum) Ik vind het daar super, en ook erg leuk om foto's te maken, dus ik dacht: laat ik er een paar laten zien.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><a href="http://www.naturalis.nl/" target="_blank">Naturalis</a> is een natuurhistorisch museum. Het is een heel modern museum met veel interactieve onderdelen. Het zit in Leiden in een heel mooi oud gebouw, verbonden door een loopbrug over de weg met een heel nieuw gebouw. Deze combinatie van oud en nieuw zie je op veel plaatsen terug (zoals op de prachtige oude etiketten op sommige potjes) en is een van de redenen dat ik zo gek ben op dit musem. Maar tenslotte zijn er ook de dino's...!</span></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/14610864319" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Naturalis 2014 #01 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="Naturalis 2014 #01" height="640" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5569/14610864319_33d2a29b4c_c.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
<br />
First there is the 'old' part, with lots of cabinets and glass cases with specimens. It's usually very quiet here for some reason, and it's probably my favourite part.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Eerst kom je langs het 'ouderwetse' gedeelte, gevuld met kasten en vitrines met dieren, vogels, kikkers, paddestoelen enz. Het is hier meestal heel stil en meteen al mijn favoriete gedeelte.</span></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/hetkabinet/14797172572" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Naturalis 2014 #02 by Audrey B., on Flickr"><img alt="Naturalis 2014 #02" height="424" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3910/14797172572_c16daf574c_c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
Then there is this huge hall with lots of fossils:<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Dan kom je bij de hal met heel veel fossielen:</span></i><br />
<br />

<br />
(I just had to sneak a wombat in there)<br />
<br />
There was an exhibit about animals in motion:<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">(ik moest er even stiekem een wombat tussen plakken)</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Er was een tentoonstelling over dieren in beweging:</span></i><br />

<br />
And a really cool interactive exhibition about animals and their 'super senses', where you had to use all your own senses to find out how animals use theirs:<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">En een hele leuke interactieve tentoonstelling over dieren en hun 'superzintuigen', waarbij je zelf al je zintuigen moest gebruiken om er achter te komen hoe de dieren die van hen gebruiken:</span></i><br />

<br />
We all had a great time. Will certainly go again next year!<br />
So if you are ever in the neighbourhood and have a chance to visit Naturalis (especially with kids who are interested in animals or fossils) make sure to do so: it will be worth it!<br />
<br />
One more photo, just because I LOVE this poster! It was part of a workshop for kids, where they could learn how to realisticly draw sea creatures, just like the 'real' biologist do. Would love to have this in my craft room, even though it was about 3 meters tall. O_o<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">We vonden het allemaal erg leuk. En we gaan zeker volgend jaar weer!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Dus als je het museum niet kent; het is zeker de moeite van een bezoekje waard!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Nog een foto, omdat ik helemaal gek ben op deze poster. Hij hing als voorbeeld bij een workshop voor kinderen, waar ze konden leren om zeedieren realistisch na te tekenen, net zoals de 'echte' biologen dat doen. Ik zou hem echt heel graag in mijn knutselkamertje hangen (of gewoon in de woonkamer) ware het niet dat 'ie zeker 3 meter hoog is. O_o</span></i><br />

======================================================<br />
<br />
Lately I have been having some sort of blogger's block. It's not that I don't have anything I would like to blog about; there is plenty going on around here, both on the crafty front and on others.<br />
No, it's more that whenever there is something I would like to post on my blog, the thought of making (good) photographs, editing them, writing the post, translating it and finally putting everything together makes me tired... It just seems like too much work.<br />
So, I decided that from now on, everything does not have to be perfect. I can make pics with my phone if I don''t feel like bringing out the big camera, and I can just add a few words without having to make a nice story.<br />
I hope this will help. Wish me luck :)<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">De laatste tijd zie ik vaak op tegen het bloggen, jammer genoeg. Ik ga proberen wat minder hoge eisen te stellen aan mijn postjes. Wens me maar succes :)

Anyway, here is a jellyfish!<br />
I made him from some scrap fabric and assorted ribbons and trims. He was super easy to put together and looks very cute, especially when the wind catches his 'tentacles'.<br />

<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Dussss. Hier dan maar een kwal!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Gemaakt van restjes stof en wat lintjes en kantjes. Super makkelijk te maken en ziet er leuk uit, vooral als zijn 'tentakels' bewegen in de wind.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm moving my blog; the new location of this post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/en/gemstone-spiral-bracelet/" target="_blank">Studio Paars</a></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><i>Mijn blog verhuist; de nieuwe locatie van deze post is: <a href="http://www.studio-paars.nl/nl/edelsteen-spiraal-armband/" target="_blank">Studio Paars</a></i></span><br />
<br />
======================================================<br />
<br />
After the fun I had making earrings I decided to finish some spiral bracelets I had started ages ago. I used some leftover chip beads that hadn't made it to the <a href="http://en.dawanda.com/shop/HetKralenkabinet" target="_blank">store</a> and only a little of a roll of bracelet memory wire.<br />
<strike>These too will go to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioPaars" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> soon.</strike><br />
EDIT: I put them in the shop; click on individial image for the link!<br />
<br />
DIY - If you would like to make these yourself, here's a short how-to:<br />
Supplies needed:<br />
- half a string of chip beads<br />
- a couple (2 to 4) of coils of bracelet-sized memory wire<br />
- cutting pliers<br />
- round nose pliers<br />
Simply string the chip beads (sometimes some won't fit the wire) and when you're done, use the round nose pliers to make a loop on the end of the wire (PLEASE NOTE: memory wire is extremely hard to bend, but with a little practice it is possible!). Move all the beads to the closed end of the wire, then cut the wire, leaving some extra. Memory wire is extremely tough to cut as well, so you might not want to use your best pair of cutters as it may dull them. Make another loop on this end and voila! You're done!<br />

<br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Nadat ik mezelf zo had vermaakt met de oorbellen van vorige keer, besloot ik deze keer wat spiraalarmbanden af te maken waar ik een eeuwigheid geleden aan was begonnen. Ik gebruikte wat restjes edelsteen split dat niet in de <a href="http://nl.dawanda.com/shop/HetKralenkabinet" target="_blank">winkel</a> was beland en een beetje van een rol memory wire. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><strike>Ook deze zijn bestemd voor <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioPaars" target="_blank">mijn Etsy shop</a>.</strike></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">EDIT: Ik heb ze erin gezet; klik op de afzonderlijke foto's voor de link!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">DIY - Voor als je deze ook zelf wilt maken volgen hier wat korte instructies:</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Benodigheden:</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">- een halve streng splitkralen</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">- een paar (2 tot 4) draaiingen memory wire van armband formaat</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">- een kniptang</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">- een rondbektang</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Eerst rijg je de splitkralen op het spiraaldraad (sommigen zullen er niet op passen) en als je daarmee klaar bent maak je met de rondbektang een rondje aan het eind van het draad (LET OP: memory wire is extreem stijf en moeilijk te buigen, maar met een beetje oefening lukt het wel!). Schuif alle kralen naar het gesloten eind en knip het draad door, wat extra ruimte latend voor het andere rondje. Memory wire is ook extreem moeilijk te knippen, dus is het verstandig om niet je allerbeste kniptang te gebruiken aangezien hij er bot van kan worden. Maak een tweede rondje aan dit uiteinde en voila! Je bent klaar!</span></i><br />
