Hey guys,
we are back at it with another DIY project.
And today, we are just going to make another phone charm
inspired by the delightfully weird and fun show,
Centaurworld on Netflix.
We'll be making each charm for every centaur in the family,
so keep in mind who in your tribe
you like to give some of these charms to.
First, let's get started with the supplies.
You'll need assorted beads.
I recommend going with slightly larger beads
to make things a little easier and faster on yourself.
Next, you'll also be needing some smaller jump rings,
and also some stretchy string.
My string came with my bead kit.
And of course, you'll also be needing some scissors.
Lastly, you'll need to print out some character poses,
so that they're a bit under an inch tall,
and a sheet peel-and-stick laminate.
Now that we have all our supplies gathered,
it's time to finally start making our charm.
(fun upbeat music)
Peel the laminate and place our cutouts face down
on the one half of the laminate.
Once it's laid down flat,
make sure to smooth out any air bubbles.
Now fold over the other half of the laminate,
and again, smooth out all of those air bubbles.
And go ahead and cut out each character pose,
making sure to leave a small border around each character.
(fun upbeat music)
Once you have all of your poses cut out,
create a small hole at the top of each pose
with your scissors or an X-Acto knife.
The hole doesn't have to be that big,
just big enough to get your jump rings through.
(fun upbeat music)
(lighthearted guitar music)
Then, take your rump ring and open it up.
I found that I was able to do this with my fingers,
but I can see how it might be difficult.
So you may need some special tweezers for this.
After you get your jump rings open,
go ahead and slip them through the holes we made earlier
on each character pose, and close up the ring.
(lighthearted guitar music)
And now, we have our waterproof and super cute charms
to add to our phone charms.
And it's finally time for the super fun part, the beads.
We're gonna get started off with a charm
modeled after the majestic mama of the group,
Wammawink herself.
Her character design is mostly composed of pinks,
hot pinks, and purples.
Leaning more towards the pinks, of course.
And all though there isn't any beige on her,
I'm just gonna add some beige beads,
as well as some clear beads,
to break up the color pattern a bit
and add some more interest to our charm.
I'm gonna make one row of 14 beads
and then make a second identical row right underneath it.
You can, of course, just add 28 beads randomly
to the string, but I like to have a set pattern
so that I don't accidentally have any weird chunks.
After you have all your beads organized,
take out your stretchy string and pull out 11 inches.
I like to not cut the string off the reel
because it makes it a lot easier
and also prevents a big mess.
I also put a little nail polish bottle
on the top of the reel as a little paperweight.
You can use whatever you want here.
I then just started adding on beads from left to right.
After I got the whole first row on the string,
I then added on the charm,
and then added the last row again from left to right.
(lighthearted guitar music)
Once you have all of your beads on,
cut the charm off the reel,
so that there are about four to five inches
left of the string to work with.
Then tie a knot towards the top of the string,
about two to three inches away from where the beads end.
(fun upbeat music)
After that, we're gonna tie another knot
as close as possible to the top of the beads.
This will secure the beads in place.
(lighthearted guitar music)
So go ahead and just tie a knot,
and then just wiggle it all the way down.
(lighthearted guitar music)
Now we're just gonna rinse and repeat
for the other six characters.
Each character has a super whimsical color palette
to go along they're very unique personalities.
(lighthearted guitar music)
What I love so much about this show
is that it is so unapologetically weird and funny,
and super cute.
It's also a musical, which is delightfully unexpected.
But it's not only that the show
is unapologetic about it's style and personality,
each character is also unapologetically who they are.
In fact, it is celebrated in their family on Centaurworld.
They encourage each other to be who they are
because each centaur brings their own crucial importance
through their uniqueness to the group.
So it'd be a really fun gift to gift these charms out
to your friends or loved ones,
and maybe even try to match their personalities
a little bit to the characters.
It's a great way to have a bit of fun,
but also to celebrate everyone's individuality in the group.
And here are all the charms, looking super cute.
But very crucial, let's talk about
how to get these on your phone.
Take the charm and slip the string
through the silence button hole on your phone case.
Then just open the loop
and pull the rest of the charm through.
(lighthearted guitar music)
Pull it until it feels secure enough,
and then tuck the knot into the phone case
so that the phone covers it.
(lighthearted guitar music)
Now, just pop in your phone and you have yourself
your very own DIY Centaurworld phone charm.
They're such a great way to personalize your phone,
but also such a great gift so that your group of friends
all have a little matching something.
And that is it for this video, guys.
I hope you guys enjoyed it
and I'll see you guys next time in another DIY video.
