Disney NuiMOs DIY

  It's official, y'all! I have finally setup a YouTube channel.  I've been waiting to write about it here until I figured it out a bit more. So far I only have four videos up but I'm planning on making a lot more. I want to do all the tutorials that I've shared on here plus more. I'm still learning and I know it'll take some time to get into the groove of it. I would appreciate if you all would take a look. I know that picture tutorials only do so much for some people so I'm really hoping this helps a lot more nuiMOs fans! Please continue to share your creations with me here or on Instagram @disneynuimosdiy Have fun crafting!

It's been a long time coming, but here are some new sewing patterns! I posted a sneak peek on my Instagram about a month ago and I finally got around to making some for the tutorial. These are two new dresses. I'm calling them a Wrap Dress and a Empire Waist Dress. The Wrap Dress is a completely new dress while the Empire Waist Dress is made just like the gathered dress I did earlier, so follow the tutorial for this dress here . The only difference is that didn't make the skirt portion as poofy. I know it can be hard to print these off. I may have a new way to share these but I'm not sure yet. So, for now, save the image and print to fill the whole page. The page size I've based these on should be 8.5" x 11". Please remember anything you make if just for personal use. Don't resell these patterns as your own or sell finished pieces made from these patterns. Thanks. =) WRAP DRESS TUTORIAL Here's What You'll Need: Fabric Thread Velcro (or other cl...

I know that there are quite of few of us out there in the nuiMOs community that just wonder, "Why didn't Disney make Donald's and Daisy's shirt removable?" They did it with Minnie from the beginning so I was always curious. Well, I finally got fed up with Donald's And Daisy's shirt being in the way with the different outfits Disney came out with and what I created. It was almost impossible to put them on and have it look right. I sat down and found out that it's a mini adventure doing this. Donald is by far easier than Daisy, and you'll see why. I decided that if I'm going to go through all the trouble of removing their shirts, I wanted to make sure that I could use the shirts again if I ever wanted to. Plus, it's kind of fun to see other nuiMOs wear their shirts. Hahaha. Here's What You'll Need: Small scissors Seam ripper Needle and thread Velcro or other closure Felt or other fabric  DONALD'S SHIRT As stated previously, I bega...

The final piece of furniture I have for today is a bathroom vanity! I actually have a couple pieces of furniture that I haven't taken pictures of yet, but most were super simple so it'll be easy to write a post about them someday. But for now this the final one for today. =) Here's what you'll need: Cardboard (average thickness and thin) Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun Craft Foam (two colors) Popsicle Sticks Pipe Cleaners Craft Paper Cutters Tin Snips Ruler Pen Aluminum Foil or Mirror Cut out some cardboard: 3" x 5" (x2), 3" x 2.5" (x2), and 2.5" x 5" (x2). Glue them as pictured above, and cut a hole for your sink. Make a sink out of craft foam and glue it to the inside of the sink hole. What I don't show in the next photo is cutting a piece a cardboard that goes underneath the popsicle stick exterior. The doorway is 4" x 3", so that should make the piece 5" x 3.5" originally. I get this because the pieces that goes around...

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 next piece of furniture is actually an appliance: the refrigerator! This is another piece that I started with a box that I had. I thought that I was the perfect size for a nuiMO to use. It was a lot better than having to cut out all the individual pieces for the body/structure of the fridge. And I was lucky enough that this one opened up sideways. Here's what you'll need: A Box Thinner Cardboard Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun Craft Foam Bamboo Skewers In the first two photos I show how I decided to design the doors. I wanted my freezer to be on the bottom so I cut the door accordingly. I then added a piece of cardboard to separate the two main compartments I then added a box to the freezer door that was just the right size to be snug but not to the point where it was difficult to slide out. I then focused on the main compartment. I made two little shelves out of thin cardboard for the inside, but I had to make sure that the didn't go all the way to the front. I needed to mak...
