Needlework Monday - Making a cactus for storing needles and pins

in #needleworkmonday6 years ago

Hi, Steemit!!!

Всем привет! С вами @garnet1!

I thought to myself: how is this future seamstress without needle cases!?))) I decided to show you my work today. Now my needles will live on a cactus.)))

Я подумала про себя: как это будущая швея и без игольницы!?))) Решила сегодня вам показать свою работу. Теперь мои иголочки будут жить на кактусе.)))

Materials:

  • Ball of foam;
  • Egg shape from foam;
  • Fabric green;
  • Sharp blade for the knife;
  • Pen and ruler;
  • Ceramic pot;
  • Styrofoam;
  • Pebbles for decor;
  • Flower for decoration;
  • Skewers.

Материалы:

  • Шар из пенопласта;
  • Форма яйца из пенопласта;
  • Ткань зеленого цвета;
  • Острое лезвие для ножа;
  • Ручка и линейка;
  • Керамический горшочек;
  • Пенопласт;
  • Камушки для декора;
  • Цветочек для декора;
  • Шпажки.

On the ball and the egg, I measured their volume and divided them into equal parts by sector. That is, the ball I got 7 cm one sector, and in the egg 4 cm sector. Marked all pen.

На шаре и яйце я замерила их объем и разделила на равные части по секторам. То есть, шар у меня получился 7 см один сектор, а в яйце 4 см сектор. Обозначила все ручкой.

I take the blade and cut it, approximately 1 cm inward, along the marked lines.

Беру лезвие и прорезаю, приблизительно 1см вовнутрь, по намеченным линиям.

Now I cut the fabric to the size of the sector. I will show you on the example of a small foam that I did. And doing the same thing with a big ball.

Теперь по размеру сектора вырезаю ткань. Я вам покажу на примере маленького пенопласта, что я делала. И тоже самое проделывала с большим шаром.

I attach a piece of fabric to one of the sectors.

Прикладываю отрезок ткани к одному из секторов.

And with a blade I push the fabric into the cuts.

И лезвием заталкиваю ткань в надрезы.

So it should work out.

Вот так должно получится.

And so doing with all sectors.

И таким образом проделываю со всеми секторами.

Separate parts of the cactus are ready. But, in order to bond together, she inserted a small skewer into a small part of the cactus. Notice, since this is the shape of the egg, it is in its narrow part.

Отдельные части кактуса готовы. Но, чтобы скрепить между собой, в маленькую часть кактуса вставила небольшую шпажку. Заметьте, так как это форма яйца, то в узкую ее часть.

And pierced the big ball. The photo is clear.
Also on the big ball I stuck two skewers at the bottom. This is to fix it in the pot.

И проткнула в большой шар. На фото понятно.
Также на большом шаре я в нижней части воткнула две шпажки. Это для того чтобы зафиксировать его в горшочке.

I found a ceramic pot in my room. Pasted inside the foam. And then fixed the cactus.

У себя я нашла керамический горшочек. Внутрь вставила пенопласт. И затем зафиксировала кактус.

In order to hide the foam, I fell asleep on top of various stones.

Для того чтобы скрыть пенопласт, я засыпала верх разными камушками.

And also pasted a flower on the cactus.

А также приклеила цветочек на кактус.

And now you can settle your needles.))) But I don’t have many, but nothing, I’ll fix everything soon.)))

И теперь можно поселить свои иголочки.))) Правда у меня их пока не много, но ничего, скоро все исправлю.)))

Thank you all for your support and attention! Successes !!!

Спасибо всем за поддержку и внимание! Успехов!!!

Hello @garnet1! Welcome to #NeedleWorkMonday! Every Monday we get together to share our work, tips, patterns, ideas and inspirations as we support one another! On Monday’s we use the #needleworkmonday tag and on all other days we use the #needlework tag without the word Monday attached.

Your cactus pin cushion is sooo cute and such a good idea! I like that it’s bigger than the average cushion and can store way more pins! I would have never guessed you used foam balls and just tucked the material in between the the cuts! I really thought sewing was involved. So clever! I love the look of it and how it sits on top of the rocks in the pot. I also love the flower you stuck on that matches the flower on the pot. All of these details make it even cuter!

I hope you get around to mingling and meeting the other needkeworkers! We encourage supporting one another because it helps us to keep doing what we do...sharing our work and inspiring the Steemit blockchain!

Thank you very much, @c-squared

Great tutorial! And the cactus to hold needles is such a fun idea! It IS a lot less prickly and likely to hurt you than a real cactus but still totally perfect!

Thank you very much @jamethiel ! I'm glad you liked the cactus. Perhaps this idea will be useful to you.

What a cool way to hold your needles!

Thank you very much @lordvdr!

I have one from my grandma that's falling apart. It's a tomato stuffed with some kind of stuff that's almost like sand, but slightly larger granuals. It may be some kind of saw dust. It's got a tag that's long since worn off, so I guess she bought it some time before I was even born. I've patched it up a bit where the fabric has torn with stitches. Might need to eventually put actual little patches on it if I don't wanna throw it out.

@geekpowered Also an interesting idea with a tomato. And the fact that you were able to repair it is very good.

This is a brailliant handmade and very nice Cactus.

Thanks for the praise @mmunited ! I am very pleased when others like my work.

Thanks for showing us the cactus - an interesting idea and a great result! I especially love the flower you put on it and how well it goes with the flower on the pot :)

Thank you very much @muscara ! I am very pleased that you liked the cactus and the flower
