for clay, i recommend foam clay because you can make a lot better sculptures without worrying about it cracking and falling apart super easily (they will only break if it has really thin or skinny pieces) it does takes a while to dry completely and if you add too much water it’s super sticky and it’s not as easy to smooth because it’s soft and kind of just drags or something idk
Also a good tip for foam clay sculptures is to get it as far away as possible from cats, for some reason cats just love foam and if i get even a little bit distracted my project will be filled with holes from my fur baby's teeth and claws, especially small projects (rip tiny seal i forgot on top of my sister's desk 😔)
smidgezz this is like so random, but I just wanted to say how kewl you are like genuinely your super duper pretty and have a rly relaxing voice, your videos are so cute, and your style is impeccable, genuinely one of my fav streamers/youtubers
I finished watching death note and I really wanted a plushie of L bcuz he’s my favorite character, so I look online, and I didn’t find a single nice death note plushy 😭 so instead I found a sewing pattern online, and after $110 of material costs, and 100 painful hours of sewing, I made my own and he turned out so perfect 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
also CROCHETTTT. people can crochet a bunch of characters from cartoons or certain items from the show. like for example, if you like gravity falls, you can crochet a bill plushy, the book, mabels sweater, or even waddles. if you like adventure time you can crochet the hat Finn wears, a Jake plushy, little it's from the show, etc. I LOVE CROCHET ^^
I love seeing fandom still alive like this!!! I’m 24 and this is stuff I used to do like 10 years ago and it makes me so happy. (also seeing gallifreyan in 2025 was an happy surprise🥰)
Hi!! I just wanted so say, I have made diy stickers before and it was soooo fun. You should all TOTALLY try it! Also Smidge, I just wanted to say you are so gorgeous! Your facial features just suit you so well! ❤
Thanks for the ideas! Some merch isn’t as stylish as I would like, so making/DIYing merch is pretty cool. Sometimes it’s also just soooo expensive, and making it yourself could be cheaper :)
Oooooo a bleached hoodie would look SO GOOD if it had the TF2 logo.....I gotta keep that in mind! Next time I go thrifting I'll keep an eye out for black hoodies :3
TIMESTAMPS1!1! 0:20 intro 1:00 bleached hoodie :3 1:43 dif shades of bleach n that 1:58 actually how to do it 2:19 clay figurines!! 2:57 felt important to mark or something 3:18 tote bags :D 3:50 ideas how to do it 4:24 patchwork tee🚂🚂🚂 4:45 IDEA! 4:57 how to make patches 5:17 Stickers they’re so ez 5:36 HOW TO DO IT :D 6:00 i’m gonna diy your merch 💜.

This is so awesome!! Love the doctor who and arcane mentions :D Definitely going to try some of these out, especially the stickers! I didn't know you could get sticker paper I thought you had to pay for a company to manufacture them and this makes my dream of putting arcane stickers everywhere come true haha. Another good thing that I don't use, but my friend does is crotchet! Back when my qsmp hyperfixation was at peak I asked her to make me a crotchet Tallulah, and she did and its amazing! I personally make pom poms as well, super easy with pom pom makers. Have heaps of pom pom Pokemon by making pom poms, gluing them together and adding felt for the eyes, ears, tails etc. Loved this video and thought I'd share some of my own too :3
thank u!!! ppl keep suggesting crochet to me i should take it as a sign to pick it up again… i tried but my brain just didn’t lock onto it 😭😭😭 maybe i’ll give it another go!
@@smidgezz no prob! And yeah, my brain couldn't lock onto it when my friend tried to teach me as well, its difficult! If it doesn't end up working for you though would definitely recommend pom poms, super easy and you can make little plushes still :3
ngl.. I saw that "HOME" shirt in the thumbnail and thought of Welcome Home. xD As someone who almost always ends up being obsessed with a thing that has practically 0 merch, I LOVE DIY merch. 😂 Also oof..shots fired at Pops and Toos LMAO. I have the Unus Annus Youtoos. 😅
haiii :33 for your merch, i'm a bit confused about the materials for the day/ night shirts? the 'more details' lists colours which suggest that there is polyester present? could you please clarify if it's 100% cotton or not? :o also is it like super comfy to wear as pajamas? >_
personally - i care a LOT about texture and imo its really comfy!! ive sized up so its extra comfy for pjs and overall wearing etc etc some of the colours have polyester blends and some dont so it depends - but im 99% sure all the colours ive picked are 99% cotton (i just checked the label of the one im wearing rn!)
sorry i need some advice (from anyone really). Is there any app that makes the sizes look accurate to real life and gives you like a phone model as a base to know how it'll look like? I know there was one like that but I lost the name and can't find it :( . I want to make some stickers for my phonecase but I'm AWFUL with sizes and would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance
MERCH OUT NOW!! :3 will send thank you videos with every order!! smidge.shop/en-gbp/collections/day-night
YESSS NOW I CAN WEAR MY OWN MERCH WITHOUT SAYING ITS SOMEONE ELSE!!

interestingggg!! i will try out foam clay next time :p

@@justabooberv4298 fortunately my cat isn’t interested in foam clay but instead of his claws sinking into the clay, it’s my own claws 😔
The arcane jacket was epic!
thank u!! i was acc surprised w how good it turned out i rlly like it :D
