Ouw Ow Ouuch
I got my ita bag for Fyodor really long ago and I only started on actually decorating it today. At first I was going to make the insert out of thick cardstock and glue fabric on as a cover, but it kind of sucked, and my mom giggled at it a little, so she taught me how to use the sewing machine and I made one out of felt instead. It turned out a lot better and it was a lot easier to put the pins on. With the cardstock one it'd bend and stay that way...
I need to find more fanart to make pins of for the ita bag. Mainly, I need to find other artists to make pins from... I feel as if my Fyolai folder consists of the same 5 artists. Unrelated to ita bags but sooooooo many of the Fyolai/Fyodor artists I had bookmarked deleted their accounts and I am SO SAD! Artists please never delete your account ever. Especially if you draw one specific thing.
I also need to get lace and ribbons to make rosettes and decorative things for it. I'm not really into those repeating pin ita bags, though I do understand they're maybe the more traditional kind. I really like the scrapbook-y style since I feel like you can get a lot more creative with it! Some people style their bags so beautifully and I think it makes up for the little merch they have.
I gotta get so many more plushies and keychains for my bag... Thinking of getting shrink plastic for keychains. I mean I could order them on Vograce or something but I think making it with your hands is a lot more fun. I'd also have to get resin to coat it though and I have no idea how resin works! It'll work out somehow.
