NuiMOs Kitchen Sink and Stove Combo

Continuing on with the kitchen, I decided to make a sink and stove combo to save space. It was around this point that I realized my house didn't have much of that, and I thought it would be easier to make once piece versus two pieces.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Carboard (average thickness and thin)
  • Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun
  • Craft Foam (two colors) 
  • Popsicle Sticks
  • Clear Plastic
  • Craft Paper
  • Silver Pipe Cleaners
  • Cutters
  • Tin Snips
  • Ruler
  • Pen

First cut out: 3" x 8" (x2), 2.5" x 3.25" x(3), and 2.5" x 8" (x2). Glue them as shown above. The smaller side is the stove.


Now this part is a bit hard to describe since there aren't a lot of pictures and I made it a while ago. I remember these pieces are all 0.5" wide. The opening for the doorway is 4" x 3". Oh, so there we are. The piece above the stove is 0.5" x 3". The piece making the doorway should be 5" x 3.5".

Also I added a piece of cardboard towards the bottom of the stove to create two compartments on that side. Then I added a sink made out of craft foam to the sink side, after I cut a hole for it.


Now this where the lack of photos becomes a bit detrimental. As you can see I created two doors. The bottom I made into a drawer, and the upper I made the stove door. With the stove door I cut a hole and added some clear plastic to the inside to simulate glass. I attached the stove door with two strips of craft paper so it could still open. I then covered the outside of the stove with craft foam. I covered with back, side,top, and then doors. I then used bamboo skewers for handles, and in the next photos you'll see I used black craft foam for the burners and knobs.

I then used popsicle sticks to cover the outside of the cabinet. I made doors by cutting out some cardboard that was 4" x 3". I cut that in half to make the two doors. I then used craft foam to cover the front and bits of popsicle sticks for the handles. I attached the doors with two tiny strips of craft paper so they can still open if I want. I used black craft foam for the countertop.

To give this one a nicer finish, I covered the exposed cardboard in the sink with strips of craft foam. I then used one pipe cleaner to make the faucet and knobs. One half is the faucet that was wrapped around a pen, and the other half cut again in half to make the knobs.

 And this is what the finished product looks like. Overall, I'm happy with how it turned out. I wish the doors could open a little more, but then I thought I probably wasn't going to open them that much anyway,  hahaha.

I hope this give you an idea of how to do this for your nuiMOs! Please share what you've created here or with @disneynuimosdiy on Instagram. Have fun crafting!

DIY Clothes Pattern (Part 1)

Image
 Okay. I really, really hope this works. This is my first times making some printable patterns, so there's probably going to be some hiccups. Let me know in the comments and I will try to figure it out. These should fit onto a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper each, for scale. These patterns are designed with a very small seam allowance. (The collars of the shirts even more so.) You can make clothes by hand-sewing or use a machine. The hems are only one fold vs. the regular double-fold. Just makes it easier to handle. But this also means you're not going to want to use fabric that will fray a lot. For notions you will need 1/4" elastic black/white and some velcro. I bought a 2" thick velcro and then cut it into tiny 1/4" strips for the shirts. Show me your cute designs made with these patterns. I'm thinking of sharing some every now and then here on the blog as a showcase. Remember, you can also share on Instagram to @disneynuimosdiy.  Have fun creating!

nuiMOs Sorcerer Mickey Outfit (And Shoes)

It's time for a new pattern! This is one that I've been wanting to make for some time now and I finally got around to making it. I thought it would adorable to see Mickey in his Sorcerer's Apprentice outfit and, boy, was I right! The fabric I had turned out to be little tricky but in the end it worked out.  Please remember that I'm sharing these patterns in good faith. Don't use these patterns for selling purposes. These are for personal use only. Adobe did something weird when enabling editing on the photo, lol. Shoe here are the patterns to make his outfit. I made a shoe pattern because he has brown shoes and I didn't purchase any of that color. As it says, there are two patterns on there and I used the bottom set. And then for the sorcerer robe you will have to print out the jacket pattern available with the first set of patterns . You'll need to have a front, the two backs, and two sleeves. And now onto the tutorial!     The first step is to, of course, ...

Crochet Shoes (Flats, Mary Jane's, and Boots Included)

Image
My nuiMO collection has grown exponentially and with more friends means a lack of shoes. Have you noticed this? My friends definitely needed more shoes and I thought I could figure out a crochet pattern fairly easily. I found out quickly that I had to make two patterns because Tigger's feet are huge compared to others' feet. I hope that's the case for everyone that owns him. With these patterns you can't stop at certain points to make certain types of shoes. You can make: flats, Mary Jane's, regular shoes, and boots. It's notated in the patterns where you can do this. As always stated, I'm giving these patterns for free but please don't use them in any way for profit. I'd be most grateful. Remember, these patterns are written in US abbreviations. What You'll Need: Thinner yarn Scissors E Hook (3.50 mm) Yarn Needle Stitch Marker Abbreviations: MAR = magic adjustable ring ch = crochet sc = single crochet st = stitch inc = increase stitch inv dec = ...
