Little Monster Bookmark & Keychain!

Hello friends, today we have something super cute, super colorful and absolutely perfect for all our little book lovers. We are going to create our very own little monster reading buddy. Grab your reading club kit which comes in this beautiful box. All materials required are inside the box. So let's quickly open it up and see what's inside the box. Here's a thank you note. We are happy that you chose this kit. This is your DIY guide scan code which takes you to the tutorial video you are watching right now. Wow! Here is a free gift for you. Everybody gets a different one. Let's see what move you have. So, we have this acrylic bookmark and a keychain base, pom-pom, beads, a metal ring and jump rings. After that, ribbon and a leather cord, acrylic chain, cleaning cloth and last these stick and peel stickers. take everything out in a plate or a bowl and let's start creating so first we are going to prepare our monster stickers look at these little cuties each one has a different expression and honestly I think that's what makes this whole design so much fun now we are going to carefully cut around our individual monster designs take your time while doing this we want each little monster be ready to find its perfect place on our bookmark all right now that our stickers are ready let's move on to our acrylic bases as you can see our acrylic bases have a brown protective film on them this film protect the acrylic surface while it's being packed and transported so we need to remove it before we begin decorating let's gently peel off the protective film from both the the pieces and look at that isn't it so satisfying to see the clear acrylic underneath. Now take your first little monster and a cloud sticker carefully position them on the acrylic base once you are happy with their placement gently stick it down and press it softly to help it adhere evenly and there we go our first little monster is ready. Now let's repeat the same process with the remaining monsters look at how adorable they look together each one has its own personality and that's what makes this design so much fun take your time positioning each sticker and make sure everything looks balanced before pressing it down firmly so you don't have to follow our arrangements exactly we are showing you one way to create this adorable little monster bookmark but you can absolutely use your own imagination and give it your own little twist maybe you will arrange your monsters differently maybe you will place them closer together or leave more space between them, it's completely up to you the idea is to enjoy the process, experiment with your materials and create something that makes you happy now? let's move on to our red sticker, we love this detail because it makes the purpose of our little creation so clear, let's position the sticker carefully and make sure it looks nice on the acrylic base, take a look at the alignment before pressing it down, sometimes moving an element just a little can make the entire design look more balanced and there we go look at how the red sticker work with our monster stickers, it's simple, it's cute and it's bring the whole idea together but wait, let's imagine something for a moment, if you were designing your own version, what would you do differently? would you keep the design simple like ours Would you use your favorite monsters as the main focus or would you arrange the other elements in a completely different way? See that's what I want you to think about when you craft. Don't just look at a finished product and think I want to make that. Look at the materials and think what else can I make with these? How can I make this my own? That's when crafting becomes even more exciting. Now let's bring in our little clouds I love adding small decorative elements because they can completely change the feel of our design without making it too complicated. Let's take one cloud and see where we want to place it. Hmmmm. Let's look at this position first and now imagine placing it slightly differently which one do you prefer? Now let's add some beautiful finishing details to make it look even more attractive. So first, we are going to take our ribbon and cord and pass them through the designated opening in our bookmark. Once everything is in place, let's tie a knot to secure the ribbon and the cord. Make sure the knot is nice and tight so that everything stays in position. Now comes another fun little detail. We are going to take our beads and pass them through the thread strings one by one. Once we have added all our beads, we will tie another knot at the end to secure them in place. As you can see here, we are carefully cutting the ribbon to create a more attractive finish. Instead of leaving the ends plain, we are giving them a little decorative shape that makes the whole bookmark look more polished Okay guys, it's time to complete our matching monster key chain. First, we are going to cut the chain into different sections. Next, take a jump ring and start attaching the chain sections and beads one by one. And let's continue adding the beads to the different sections of our chain. We will keep repeating the same process, adding the beads to each section and securing them with the jump rings. Next, we are adding our cute little pom-pom and the metal ring to complete the design. And now comes the final assembly. Let's attach all the decorated chain sections to the main keychain ring bringing everything together. And ta-da! Look how adorable our matching little monster keychain and bookmark look.
