Poppy Makes... Music - singing and playing - Happy Birthday

 

Today is my birthday, yay me! And I have been meaning to learn to play happy birthday on my ukulele. And this year I finally did and of course I made a Singalong/ Playalong video to go with that. It is a bit of a different video because, it is a fingerpicking song instead of the strum song you might know me to play. Don't forget to check out the rest of my ukulele videos, you can find the videos on my YouTube Channel and here on the ukelele sing-along / play-along page. Have a great weekend!

Poppy Makes... show your support - EURO2020

Hej there!

Tonight the men's Dutch national football team will play their first match against the Ukraine. That is why I thought it would be a good idea to show you a few ideas how you can show your support for your team. Down below I have listed a few of my video tutorials I made over the past few years. Okay the video on how I have learned to play the Dutch national anthem and the carrot cake video is more for the Dutch fans, carrot hence the Orange but the football bracelet and even the flower crown could be for any team. All you have to do for the flower crown for instance in change your colors to the colors of the flags country you are supporting. I hope I gave you a few fun DIY ideas wishing you all a good EURO2020!

easy Easter crafts - step by step tutorials and FREE to download colouring pages

Can you believe that next weekend is already Easter weekend?! And with these crazy times, I haven't given it much thought really and maybe you haven't either. And since we all could use a little distraction and/or a fun activity I have made a list of some previous Easter inspired videos and Easter/ Spring inspired colouring pages. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe at home as much as possible, if possible. As you may have read in previous posts I myself am in isolation, which isn't a stranger to me, since I am chronically ill with a rare disease and therefore at high risk. And by sharing some of my experience with being in isolation and my crafts I hope I can contribute. Even if it is just one person that reads my blogs or sees a video. You are not alone! x Poppy

4. Christmas cards
   I am always late with sending my Christmas card and sometimes I do end up with just sending a text. So to help myself and you I have made a few last minute Christmas cards. I ended up with so much footage I thought it would be easier to split it up. So please don't forget to watch both videos. The link to the second will be in the video's description box.
   
5. Hogwarts inspired beanie hat
   
   In this video tutorial, I will show you how to make a Hogwarts House beanie. You might remember that I have made a Hogwarts House scarf. To be specific I made a Hufflepuff House scarf because of the movie Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them. In which Newt Scamander is the main character and is a Hufflepuff. So to make the set complete I thought it would be a fun idea to show you how you can make a beanie on a round loom board. In this tutorial, I will show you step by step how to set up the loom board, how to make a brim, how to finish the beanie and how to make a pompom. I hope you enjoy the video, don't forget to watch the video tutorial on how to make the House scarf, you'll find a link to that video in the description box.
   
6. Logan pins
   
   In this video tutorial, I will show how you can make Logan inspired pins. You have probably seen all these 90's inspired enamel and plastic pins. I thought it would be fun making them myself and saw all of these cool tutorials with shrink plastic. But, I really had trouble finding shrink plastic over here in Holland without any print on it. So I searched and searched and found another way of making these cool pins. All you need is a laminating machine (SORRY I KNOW I AM SAYING IT WRONG IN THE VIDEO) and the FREE printable Logan inspired pins.
   Click here to download the FREE Logan inspired pins printable. Let me know on any on my social media how yours turned.

   * I'll tell you no real serious spoilers in this video but I am gonna show you how to make jewellery inspired by some of the series couples.*
   
   **Plus please don't tell me any spoilers either still got quite some episodes to watch.**
   
   So after these disclaimers or something... 😂 In this video, I will show you how to make 4 different types of jewellery. And because Valentine's day is just around the corner I wanted it to scream love and to me, that must be Once Upon A Time. I really love the show and all its characters and since the show is a lot about love in any way shape or form I thought this would make a perfect inspiration source. Also, I've been wanting to do an OUAT related video for quite some time now. But even if you don’t like OUAT or Valentine it is still a fun video about jewellery making.
   
10. Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts inspired potion light string
    
    In this video, I will show you how to make a Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts inspired DIY potion bottles light string. In the video, I am using a FREE to download printable which I have used for another DIY of mine.
