Since you can't buy fanfiction as actual books I started a project of binding my favourites myself back in January. During my training to become a librarian I spent a few weeks in the library's bookbinder workshop and learned everything I needed for this project. The steps I didn't remember were helpfully provided by the internet.

So far I finished 5 books, with another 17 stories ready to be formatted and then printed.

If you're interested, the photos and details are under the cut. But: this is no manual on how to do it, just a post about a little bit of the progress and the finished products.

Alright, if you're still here, I guess you want to see the photos.

The only picture I took of the sewing process. That part was honestly the most fun.

Trying out the fitting of the cover before glueing it on.

That's what the book looks like before I glue on the cover...

... and after the glueing. (No, this is not the same book. As I mentioned, I made 5 😆)

Since I don't have any other way to do it I wrote the title and, if the space was enough, the author on the spine.

The same book finished. I'm in love with the paper I used for this 😍

And here are all 5. The marble effect fabric was definitely worth the money. It looks even prettier irl 😍

Can't wait to continue with the others, but need to get a few more materials first.

If you're interested, here's the full list of the fics I bound so far, including links to the stories:

Out of Time by @zuppizup

A Snowfall Kind of Love by @jelzorz

Ichor and Blood by im_too_tired_for_this

A Dragon Kiss always ends in Ashes by purplejaguar326156

Looking for a Way to break in by @thosefiveadoraburrs and @raayllum

I'll update this whenever I'm working on the next one.

Project: crocheted D20 plushie

Introduction:

I've been learning how to crochet, as mentioned before. Once I got the basic stitches down I figured it was time to learn how to make shapes.

I took one look at the first triangle I made, then promptly decided to make 19 more. The result was a D20 plushie: a worthy addition to my partner's novelty dice collection.

The project:

I followed this Happily Hooked Crochet Magazine tutorial to learn how to crochet triangles. There are multiple ways to make triangles, but I'm still learning so I wanted to keep it simple.

Once I'd made 20 of them, I embroidered a number ranging from 1 to 20 on each of them using the backstitch.

[ID: four red crochet triangles lying on a black surface. One of the triangles is blank. The other three have the numbers 20, 19, and 18 embroidered on them with a backstitch in yellow yarn.]

A D20 is an isocahedron. If you make one out of fabric and stuff it, it will turn into a ball. That's fine if that's what your project needs of course, but I wanted mine to look a bit more pointy.

After a bit of Googling, I found Ravelry-user Highresmess's take on the D20. They had used felt to shape their dice. I decided to follow their example.

I cut out 20 felt triangles that were slightly smaller than my crocheted triangles, then basted them onto the backs of my crocheted ones.

[ID: a red crocheted triangle lying on a black background. A slightly smaller red triangle made of felt has been basted onto the crocheted triangle with a matching red thread.]

I then started attaching my triangles to each other with a single crochet join, following this D20 3D model by Armor and Rum as a reference which uses the classic Chessex D20 number placement.

I picked the single crochet join because I wanted a ridge along the sides of my triangle to break up the inevitable roundness of the plushie.

[ID: five red crocheted triangles have been joined with a single crochet join. They each have a yellow number embroidered onto them: 2, 20, 8, 10, and 12.]

[ID: five red crocheted triangles have been joined with a single crochet join. A red felt triangle has been basted to the back of each of them.]

I kept attaching my pieces until I had one big flat shape consisting of 20 triangles.

[ID: 20 red crocheted triangles have been attached to each other with a single crochet join. Yellow numbers ranging from 1 to 20 have been embroidered on each of them with a backstitch.]

I then continued joining the leftover triangle edges, slowly building the 3D shape of my isocahedron.

[ID: 20 red crocheted triangles have been attached to each other with a single crochet join, forming part of an isocahedron. Yellow numbers ranging from 1 to 20 have been embroidered on each of them with a backstitch.]

I left the two final flaps of my plushie open, then proceeded to stuff it with light-weight scraps of fabric and yarn cut into small pieces.

[ID: a red crocheted isocahedron lying on top of white floral bedsheets. Each triangle has a yellow number embroidered on it in backstitch, ranging from 1 to 20. The two upper most triangles haven't been joined shut yet. Red felt triangles have been basted to the insides of each triangle.]

When using fabric scraps to stuff a plushie, the fabric weight of your scraps is a useful way to control the weight of your plushie. I used light-weight scraps because I wanted my dice to be light, but you could also experiment with heavier scraps if you're making a pressure-based stimtoy or something.

I also made sure to cut my scraps into small pieces because larger scraps can make a plushie feel lumpy.

[ID: a red crocheted isocahedron lying on top of white floral bedsheets. The two upper most triangles haven't been joined shut yet. The plushie has been stuffed with a variety of small fabric and yarn scraps.]

I then closed up my plushie and weaved in any remaining loose ends. The resulting plushie is pretty round, but has some shaping to it thanks to the felt and the raised ridges.

[ID: a hand holding a large crocheted plushie of a red 20-sided die with yellow numbers. The top-facing number is 20.]

The die rolls pretty well. I wouldn't exactly call it balanced, but technically it could be used to play with.

Conclusion:

I really enjoyed this project. I learned how to make triangles and how to use the single crochet join, and I got a cool gift for my partner out of it. I also learned how to use the grid-like structure of the single crochet stitch as a canvas for embroidery, which opens up a lot of fun options for future projects.

Most of the things I make have some practical use, like clothes or utility items. It was nice to make something silly for once. I ought to do more projects like these.

Ritual Pool + The Guardian Lady of the Manor

I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M FINALLY DONE.

This is a battle map for tomorrow's D&D session; a subterranean chamber under an abandoned manor, where the vengeful spirit of the former Lady (ritually drowned in the very pool where she now resides) guards a secret even deeper underneath the earth.

The floor pieces are made from foam board, the rest is various foam packing pieces. The pools are sculpted from hot glue, and everything is painted with acrylic paint. I considered lining the central pool's border with stones as well, but decided I don't want to cut up and individually paint the pieces of more packing peanuts.

(banshee mini from paperforge btw)

I firstly want to welcome everyone to this new account of mine! I am Vivian, a 25yr old Melbourne-based artist who likes to dabble in all sorts of creative mediums. At the moment, I have been really enjoying dioramas. These three images are for a dnd campaign and my first ever project that involves foam and things such as miniature tufts and flocking. I know these are a bit low quality photo wise! These have already been given to their DM who loves them dearly :) The next few posts will be creations for the same DM, so photo quality may not be the best, so apologies in advance lol

For some reason tdp awakes a DIY fever in me like no story ever has.

When I first got into the show I bought some wool, a pompom maker set and googly eyes and just started making adoraburrs. That up there is the first one I ever made, the photo is dated mid September 2020. It was quickly followed by a few more:

I think there might actually be a better way to do this and I even have a few ideas. Now I just need the time and materials, but if I ever make that improved version I'll show it here 😊

I've Been Making A Puppet, Not Anywhere Close To Finishing Yet, But Here's Two Picks Of The Progress:

It's Going To Be A Dragon, And A Big One(Save Me From Myself)

I Am Using Glue(Liquid Because Sticks Suck Ass), Paper, And Random Materials That I Find That Help With The Creation.

But I'm Having Fun Making It, And I Have Yet To Decide A Name, But The Pronouns Atm Are She/Her.

That's All I Done So Far, It's Going To Take Me Months(If I Don't Hyperfixate On Her A Lot)
