Hey guys!!! It's been awhile, I'm so happy to be able to share with you the colour recipe for these Animal Crossing inspired balloon presents accessories! 😀
As usual, before I go on, do give the video a watch so you'll understand what I'm talking about later on, and also have a better idea of how each piece is done! 😊
I made memo holders, dust plugs, and also earrings with these design, and there are only 2 main sizes.
Here are the notes I did up while I was working on the colours + everything else!
As usual, you might not be able to understand some parts, because they’re written with my own tools in mind - but you’ll still be able to get a few information off this page!
For clarification sake, here's the legend for myself for the measurements:
PK = pocket kitchen is in reference to the pocket roller in pocket kitchen, and L1-5 is the levellers' number code.
CB = cardboard paper which I cut myself for the specific thickness (or thinness in this case) that I needed.
A-F after the • is the circular cutter's labels (includes PK's circular cutter and mine that I named myself)
The size of both drawings are the exact ratio (well, at least as close as I could get), and the paper I drew them on are graph paper which means it's 0.5cm per square! That means that the memo holder drawing has the balloon present measuring 5.7cm width x 2.2cm width.
If you'd like to print my references out, you can make sure that this measurement is accurate 😊
I also blutack-ed down the paper template I used to cut out the size of the white box (present) at the top right of my notes! The measurements is as below:
MEMO HOLDER
Bottom half: 1.7cm x 1.6cm
Top half: 2cm x 1.8cm
DUST PLUG/EARRING
Bottom half: 0.8cm x 0.8cm
Top half: 0.9cm x 0.9cm
