Design 6: Ice Cream

This morning, I made this, as I had to make another one for another neighbour. There's a part that cracked when I was fiddling with it but when I tried to iron that part again, it won't stick, so now there's a slit through it. :\


The design was based on this, but I edited some parts.

Design 5: Rubik's Cube

 With the newly bought iron papers, I was able to continue making pyssla designs again. Since I had seen people online making 3D cubes, I wanted to have a try at it and took a few hours and made this.

The design was based on my Rubik's cube.
But as you can see here, the last face couldn't be closed no matter how hard I try. It just keeps coming out, and some of the "teeth" broke too. :( Maybe next time if I want to make another cube I should use the glueing method, instead of this.

The half-success and half-failure design.



 

Recommendable Iron Paper

I've finally bought the iron paper yesterday in the evening. Guess the worries for not being able to buy it was extra. And it's totally worth it. I think there are 10 sheets of them in one packet, but one sheet is around the size of two to three A4-size papers. And each one of them is very durable. And till now I'm still using the first half of iron paper and it's still in good condition. I think it's a hundred times better than the one that came with the peg boards. :)



Bought this at Daiso.

The Poor Iron Paper

With the numerous times of ironing, my iron paper had turned out like that. Guess I would have to buy some soon, if not I can't iron any designs and it had also caused some of my designs to get stuck with paper. The packet said there would be two iron papers provided, but in the end I found only one. But if I'm going to buy a packet of ten, it will cost around $2.50. But on second thoughts, maybe it is my problem that it turned out like this so soon. : /

The iron paper is torn. :(
Paper had stuck onto my poor sashimi. :(

Design 4: Sashimi

Today, I made this, as my mother suggested that I make some for my neighbour. Maybe I will make another one later. 




The design was based on this.

Design 3: Domo

Later into the night, I made another one again. Maybe I was too addicted to it. XD I'm thinking of giving this to my classmate since she likes Domo (I think?).






The design was based on this (the one on the right).

Design 2: Happy Face

Later in the evening, I made this.


I actually wanted to base the design on the picture below, but I changed some parts.

The design was based on this.

Design 1: Heart

Although I'm disappointed at my first failure, I was determined to try again. Just in case it fails again, I did a simpler and smaller design, so that it won't waste my pyssla beads.

I did this based on my imagination.
A success can't come without failures. And so, I did it! It was much effort poking the hole and inserting the ring. But since I couldn't find a smaller ring and the first ring wouldn't budge, I added another one. And now it is hanging from my bag. :)

Failed Design: Apple

So I did the design and went on to the ironing part. Maybe it's because I didn't adjust the heat correctly, and it's my first time, so it came out like this.

These are the remains.

It was based on this design.
I should have known and not do such a big one at the first try. Maybe I should do another one again next time.

The Beginning

The whole pyssla journey begins the moment I bought the beads, peg boards and iron paper from IKEA yesterday.


The moment I got home, I immediately took out all of the stuffs and decided to classify them in their colours first. But unfortunately, as I was too excited, I had only classified a little, and I just went on to making my first pyssla design. :)
