Update

So, I’m still really stressed with life. Sorry, guys.

I feel bad for not continuing this blog, but it’s for my own mental health at this point.

So I’m clearing the askbox, but I’m not reopening it anytime soon.

Once I have the time, I’ll come back, I promise, I just don’t have the energy to do it right now.

So the askbox will stay closed, but you can still submit any DIYs you have, and I’ll post them here.

But, other than that, this blog won’t be posting for probably a while.

I hope you all understand.

I don't want to bug you but.... is everything Okay? You haven't posted in a while and i'm a little worried?

Aw, thanks for being worried anon, but I’m ok!

I’ve just been preoccupied with school, so I’m taking a break from this blog! I’ll probably purge the inbox and reopen it when I’m less busy with irl stuff.

So yeah, don’t worry y’all, I’m ok! Just a lil busier than when I started this blog ^w^

Hiya! Could I get some easy craft ideas for Bedtime Bear from the Care Bears? 💤 (@rest-your-eyes)

Hi there, Bedtime Bear!

First and foremost, let’s get you that comfy hat you wore so often! You can make a Floppy Nightcap with star fabric to recreate it!

Next, you could make a Custom Iron-On Shirt [video] with your belly badge on it for some more comfy clothes.

Once you’re clad in all your kin clothing, you could make a Star Plushie [video], to remind you of your friend!

Or, if you’d prefer an easier and cheaper buddy, make a Pet Cloud! They’re small, but cuddly and cute!

And lasty, to get you in the bedtime sleepy mood, make some Glow-in-the-Dark Stars!

I hope you like it, @rest-your-eyes!

Reminder that the askbox is CLOSED!

Guys please, I have like, 80+ requests as-is. 

Save your requests for later, when the askbox is open.

You can ask questions about kin, the blog, etc, but please don’t send requests!

Have you done any diys for characters from Supernatural?

Can I have some intermediate level difficulty DIY’s for a Heather McNamara from Heathers (specifically the musical) with flowers or lemons (either as an ingredient or design or smell or anything really) if you can? Thank you!! 💛💛💛

Hi Heather!

First, I’d suggest you do some decorating with this Retro Flower Painting Tutorial! You can use any colors you want!

Next, you could make a Cork Board Mirror, for checking out your outfit, or just admiring yourself in general.

Since you like flowers, why not make some Flower Pencils for writing about stuff or just doodling?

After all that, you could try baking a Cute Illustrated Swiss Roll! They can be decorated however you want, or you could buy patterns to use.

Lasty, you could wind down and relax with a Lemon Bathbomb [video] and a warm bath.

If you have time, could I get some crafts for Chara from Undertale? I am pretty crafty as a rule but I don't know how to knit or anything like that which I see associated with Chara a lot. I can do a hand stitch though so sewing's ok. I am really up to try anything I just am on a pretty tight budget so less expensive ideas would be spectacular. Thank you for this blog. It's really a neat concept I've seen nowhere else.

Hi Chara! First off, you’ll probably wanna make your sweater. Here’s an easy, no-knit Chara Sweater Tutorial! 

Next, why not recreate a little piece of home with this Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie? 

After pie, you could try making a Cross-Stitched Heart Plush [video]! You can put anything on it, from “Chara” to “LV”!

Now that you have some stuff to remind you of life on the go, you could decorate your room with this Undertale Decor [video]! It has a Snowdin “S”, pennants with you and Frisk’s sweaters, and little flowers, like from the Ruins.

And finally, since school is starting very, very soon, you could make some Undertale School Supplies [video], which covers almost everything you’ll need for class!

Quick question? I read the rules and is says something about the kin being of a problematic character and so on. Would a kin from the creepypasta group count as problematic?

Not always, but they can be. “Problematic” kins are people like ab/us/ers, pe/do/phi/les, ra/pis/ts, etc.

I missed this blog! Im happy you're reviving it, you have such good ideas! -🐰

Thank you so much! I'm glad people like this blog, cause it's really fun for me!

[craftykins]

Ik this is dumb... But could you explain this kin concept for me?? And how do you find your kin?? Can you choose it??

This blog has been dead, but I think this would be a fantastic way to revive it.

Before I answer your questions, I’d just like to say that I adore that you’re making an effort to learn about kin!

1. Kin is a very, well, varied belief, but the bare bones is the belief that you were an animal/character/etc in a past life, or that you possess the soul of that thing. Those are the two most common beliefs in the kin community, but a lot of different ideas of what kin is, and how they experience theirs. 

For me, I am both fictionkin and otherkin. This means I identify as both fictional characters and some creatures. I believe in the multiverse theory, so I do believe there are infinite alternate universes, in some of which, I used to be these characters or creatures! I believe I was these things in past lives, like with reincarnation (something I believed in before I even knew what kin was!)

2. Finding your kin is a very personal thing, specific to everyone! Personally, I figured out I was kin because I felt a super strong connection to dragons, and specifically one dragon. After some more research on kin, I realized that’s what I am! That was my first kin. After that, whenever I felt a similar bond with something, I’d explore it! Invest myself in the lore, and see if anything seemed familiar. Often, I’ll get memories from these past lives, which really cements that I’m kin (to me, at least). But, this isn’t a requirement! Kin with no memories are just as valid as kin with tons of memories.

3. No, you can’t choose your kin. Trust me, I really wish I could. But, choosing a “kin” is called Copinglink, and a separate thing. Copinglink is when people choose a character to kin, similarly to comfort characters, but a bit more personal.

Copinglink can develop into actual kin, though! My first kin, Rich Goranski from Be More Chill, started off as a way for me to cope with my autism, anxiety, and general introverted-ness. After a while though, I started getting more and more clear memories, and that’s how I discovered I’m kin with him!

This blog does do requests for Copinglink and Comfort Characters, by the way! Just in case you wanna send an ask in.

I hope that answered some of your questions, Anon! If you have any more, feel free to send another ask or DM me! I’d be glad to answer them.

Askbox Closed!

I currently have 85 asks...

I’m so sorry I’m so inactive! It’s just that life has been hectic, but things are cooling down again. I’ll be getting requests done (slowly, but surely!) soon, so don’t worry!

If you have any questions, either send them into the askbox (for anon users) or DM me!

Thank you for understanding!

[craftykins]

hiya! sorry to bother you but i think tumblr ate my ask,, did you ever get a request for sayori from doki doki lit club? (ill resend it if you dont have it!!)

I do have it! I’ve just been really inactive, sorry!

[craftykins]

Sorry if I am a bother but what is a factkin?

You’re not bothering me! I’m happy to answer!

The Urban Dictionary defines Factkin as “Factkin is an individuals that identify (spiritually or psychologically) as a person who currently lives or has lived, such as an ancestor, historical figure, actress/actor, ect., in our universe or the ‘real world'”

Basically, Factkin are people who identify as real people, dead or alive.

I hope this helps!

Hey can I get some kincraft idea for Wadanohara And the Great Blue sea? Various characters if you can, its for my friends birthday

I’m sorry, but I need a specific character. If your friend is kin with multiple characters from Wadanohara, please ask them which is their most primary, since I can only do one character at a time.

[craftykins]

I accept, love and appreciate your kins. You are wonderful for running this blog and fuck that anon who tried to send you hate, cause that ain't cool. You're awesome.

Oh, thank you so much! I love seeing lovely anons such as yourself who use the anon button for love instead of hate!

In other news, I’ve blocked their IP, and deleted their 4 other messages (they sent 5). They can’t come back.

[craftykins]

I don’t accept your kin

Look anon.

I literally could not care less.

Have fun being anti-kin.

If you want to send hate, send it to my personal blog, @beanjamoose

You’re clogging my inbox.

Hey, I'm in love with this blog, thank you for being so helpful! Not to be a bother, but I'd really appreciate it if you marked which tutorials were videos! Don't worry about it if it's too difficult! Thanks again!

It’s not too difficult! I’ll do that right away!

[craftykins]

Update: All the video tutorials have been marked with [video]!

From now on, I’ll be sure to add these markings!
