INTRODUCTION ☆

hi! i'm aster, aka godsburnttoast!

i'm 14, an AuDHDer, i identify as novigender and aroace, and i like kandi, omori, ddlc, tbhk and vocaloid :)

i started this blog to express myself and maybe encourage some people to get into kandi, because even though i'm still pretty new, i want to help others with something i enjoy.

i just finished this watermelon peyote stitch cuff that I made with perler beads! i used perler beads instead of normal beads because i didn't have any black ones for the seeds. i made up the pattern, so i don't have one to show you but they are very simple.

i'm really sorry that i haven't been posting any tutorials in the last few days. i'm going on holiday today, so i won't be able to post for five days. but as soon as i get home, i'll make a tutorial on x-base cuffs, promise!

look what my best friend gave me for christmas!

BEADS! and not just flat beads too!

charms and letter beads! they're so pretty!

HOT PINK STRETCHY STRING OMFG this would look so cool with a clear x-base cuff!

AND MY FAVOURITES these tiny little gold stars! they're so cute! adafagsh they're not the kind i usually use but i already made some kandi with them!

look at these!! i love these sm, the space child one is made with just the new beads (except for a few letter beads) and the other one is just a single to complement the colours :)

thanks again to my friend for getting these for me, especially the little stars, these are so cute!

TUTORIAL ☆ kandi stars!

hi! today i'm going to show you how to make kandi stars! they are very easy and fun, and they look great when done! they make really good charms, or work on their own.

MATERIALS

☆ 10 beads for the center ☆ 15 beads for the points

DIFFICULTY ☆ very easy

STEP ONE

string on 10 beads. it always needs to be 10 for this method, but you can use any colours you like.

STEP TWO

loop into a circle, then tie off but don't cut the string, you need it for the next bit. also, it helps map out where to put the next few beads if you pop up every second bead. make sure that the string is coming out of a popped up bead.

STEP THREE

string on three beads of any colour and pull the string through the next popped up bead, or one bead over. pull tight and repeat with the rest of the loop.

STEP FOUR

once you've put on the rest of the beads, pull tight and tie off. congratulations! your kandi star is done!

i hope this was helpful, if you have any questions or need clarification on anything, please let me know!

also, i wanted to say thank you to anyone who liked or reposted my posts, and to @shineyfish and @kuyrkrzak following me! it really means a lot, you guys are amazing!

ALL OF MY KANDI! ~ 12/12/22

hi! i decided to make a post with my entire kandi collection! it's still pretty small (bc i'm still a beginner lol) but i love all of my pieces!

these are my stars! i have four of them, but the white and purple ones are connected for some reason, idk why. i used to have a pink one but i broke it for other projects.

my crowns! i have two, a clear and blue and a princess peach one! they are really fun to make and the peach one has been used as a mariokart trophy.

my peyote stitch cuffs! this is my favourite way to make cuffs, and i have a tutorial up for anyone who's interested :)

then there's this absolute behemoth of a cuff, this drippy rainbow one! it took like 3 days to make and doesn't even fit TwT

my x-base cuff! it's the only one i have, and i don't like the shade of pink but it's still a good one :)

my singles! the rainbow ones are separate, but i usually wear them as a set. the aster one was my first ever kandi!

a necklace! it's one of the ones where ever letter is a word in a song or phrase or smth, mine's from ride the cyclone!

here's all of it in the jars i use to hold it in, sorry my desk is a bit messy lol

that's it for now, i might do another one of these in a few months to see how my collection has grown :)

TUTORIAL ☆ peyote stitch cuff!

this is easily the simplest cuff i know how to do, and it's my favourite! while it's easy, this tends to use more than 80 beads, so make sure you have enough.

MATERIALS

☆ elastic string, one arms length ☆ 45 beads of one colour (I used pink) ☆ 45 beads of one colour (I used purple) ☆ scissors

DIFFICULTY ☆ it's very easy

STEP ONE

string an even amount of beads onto some elastic string. i'm using pink and purple!

STEP TWO

string one bead of the colour you just put on. then, loop the string through the purple bead.

STEP THREE

repeat with another pink bead and pull tight. If it's not perfect, don't worry! there will be plenty of time to make it tight again.

STEP FOUR

take a purple bead and loop the string through the pink bead. repeat with another purple bead. repeat this process until the cuff fits comfortably on your wrist, you shouldn't have to pull it for it to fit.

here it is with ten rows, don't forget to pull it tight after every row!

and again with 30 rows! remember that the two ends should fit like a puzzle piece when you are ready to finish off.

STEP FIVE

take the string and loop it through the pink bead on the other end of the cuff. Repeat with the purple bead.

do this until it's one, long string of beads. i've tried to draw what it should look like, the string should zig-zag through the beads. pull tight and tie off!

and done! here's a rainbow one made with the same method, but with 6 rows instead of 4. you can add as many rows as you want, so long as it's an even number.

NOTE: the 45 bead estimate might be too many or not enough for you. i actually need 38, but i have a slim wrist. just make it to however long you need it to be :)

hope this was helpful! if you need any help or clarification, i'd be more than happy to help!
