Cookie Monsters

I sent off these Cookie Monsters to their new home today. Yippee!



To be secure, I attached the rubber band 3 times.
1. I glued it with glue gun.
2. I sewed it with thread.
3. I glued a ribbon on top of it.



Hopefully it'll last a long time!

Tutorial No. 1: Attaching Ribbon For Keychain

This is what I do when I forgot (quite often too, lol) to attach the ribbon in between the pieces when I sew them. Hopefully it'll be of use to you. Enjoy!

First, we have the cute thing we want to attach the ribbon to.
The ribbon too of course. And don't forget to plug in your glue gun.

Pertama, siapkan kreasi yang mau ditempelin pita, pitanya, dan lem tembak.



Second, I put a dab of glue using my glue gun.

Dua, beri sedikit lem di tempat yg sesuai...

Attach the ribbon and press it flat.

Tempel salah satu ujung pita dan tekan dengan jari.

Put another dab of glue.

Beri sedikit lem lagi di atasnya.

Close the ribbon. Press it flat again.

Tempel ujung pita yang satu lagi dan tekan dengan jari.

Another dab of glue.

Beri sedikit lem lagi...

The important part: Press the still hot glue with your thumb.

(Not too hot that it'll hurt your finger, but not too cool that it can't be shaped anymore.)

Bagian yang paling penting: tekan dengan jempol ketika masih sedikit panas.

(Pastikan lem belum terlalu dingin sehingga tidak bisa dibentuk lagi. Hati2, kalau masih terlalu panas, kulit jari bisa terkelupas.)

We want to press the glue so that it'll have a clean look, compared to what it will looks like otherwise.

Perlu ditekan dengan jari supaya hasil akhirnya bersih dan rapi.

There you go. Just attach the keychain to the ribbon and you're done!

Terakhir, tambahkan gantungan kunci dan selesai!
