Using this special paper—along with tools like Doms brush pens, Diamond color pencils, that striking black marker, and standard pencils—this wonderful initiative allows an artist to become truly immersed in the creative process. All these activities are made possible through our keen interest, dedicated effort, and artistic skill. We will continue our work by further honing and expressing these creative talents.

First, I gathered the necessary materials, including a clipboard. I made a drawing that resembled a pyramid and drew a vertical line using a scale.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmVNrSA8w6J57zy4xcQfiM8K6YYfBP6qKj2PkfR1kcFnwF/1000061929.png

Next, I lightly sketched the lower section using a 2B pencil. Afterward, I carefully traced over the entire sketch with a marker pen, following the outlines. Then, I drew the shape of the land and the seashore in the lower area, aligning it with the middle section; I used a marker pen for this, incorporating wavy lines.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmZJWNMZrnyWAAx5JRMcGWspVZoZqNoX9Ww156bdAySaBX/1000061901.jpg

Next, I colored a specific section of the beach using a diamond pencil and completed coloring the raised area. I also sketched and designed two trees to give them a beautifully detailed appearance.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmZMoezaiLnzoQ4M5nKWzkBjbda6jin7emDi6gpFcLwh9x/1000061902.jpg

Next, I am attempting to present and showcase an attractive view of the sea beach, featuring natural green forests along the sides.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmbDPZESBohGbvKgkzSguKxGoJbztaDtP2XE529j4dhiJH/1000061903.jpg

Next, I am illustrating leaf shapes beautifully against the backdrop of the beach. Furthermore, by depicting this particular bird in flight, I am attempting to showcase the magnificent natural diversity of this unique seaside setting.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmPn6iDBA4gwYQE6vmuAVdh1kjDyTVAgbuqEcZvAi7iCTw/1000061904.jpg

After that, I sketched the shape of the tree using a marker and presented it by beautifully designing the central section.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmcXj6Jq4Pf5DS5Q15JriQ8KdzcWAFBsn6wyWER8XFAr9S/1000061905.jpg

Next, I filled in the leaves of this distinctive tree—which feature a sunset-like shape—with a beautiful green color. Additionally, I completed an attractive drawing of the seashore using a diamond pencil, capturing the form of the blue water.
https://img.leopedia.io/DQmbwFMEqV8dgznysUQjPynu1KQaaMNctdPYsBnNwWFWUG6/1000061906.jpg

Finally, by neatly arranging all the steps, I am completing this special drawing by combining red with a soft yellow hue; so, let us follow the final step and, by bringing everything together, present this special artwork to everyone.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmWsZbo43dqCnf6wipM9UgEYMoEDjaSULAuQBWWNHvrnsK/1000061913.jpg

In this artwork, I have carefully illustrated and arranged various elements to showcase a captivating combination of a seaside view and striking, pyramid-shaped mountains. Through this piece, you can enjoy a beautiful composition featuring the blue waters of the sea, birds in flight, a stunning sunset, and lush vegetation. Thank you very much for your time and attention.

(ENG/ESP) 🧚✨ I'll show you how to make your own fairy wands / Te enseño a realizar tus propias varitas de hadas 🧚✨

suezoe — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:55:42 GMT

ENGLISH CONTENT

Hello to everyone in this community—fellow craft and magic lovers! Today, I’m excited to show you how to make some charming fairy wands. The Pinterest algorithm recommended them to me, knowing I’m always up for a creative project. I was fascinated the moment I saw them; they really reminded me of the fairy wands from the cartoon The Fairly OddParents. I think they’re fantastic for imaginative play or as a costume accessory.

![1000503335.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/suezoe/23wCUuQemhaP6VxeEoRNPVSBBY9mN4CbozBWoeFGuknbod57BBixN1byz6Pjn96uGnJK2.jpg)

What I love about this project is that it is incredibly simple, and the final result depends on individual taste—I’ve seen wands ranging from quite simple to more elaborate designs. In my case, I worked with the materials I had on hand: felt, satin ribbon, stuffing, sticks, seed beads, and sequins.

I decided that bamboo skewers—which I picked up at one of my favorite shops—would be the ideal base for these wands. To start, I wrapped the base of the wand with thin satin ribbon. I only had white ribbon on hand, but using a variety of colors would look fantastic. I used liquid craft glue to secure it, applying a small amount at both the beginning and the end, and gradually wound the ribbon around until the skewer was completely covered.

I wanted to place a star at the tip of the wand. I cut the shape out of felt twice and then hand-stitched the two pieces together, leaving a small opening at the bottom of the figure. Through this opening, I inserted the stuffing—using quilt batting or plush toy filling—and left it unsealed.

Next, I cut three strips of satin ribbon—each roughly twice the length of the stick—and tied them together at their midpoints onto the top end of the stick. After applying a little liquid silicone to this junction, I inserted the top of the stick into the opening of the star (the same opening used for stuffing). In this way, the liquid silicone sealed the opening and secured the stick to the star shape.

For decoration, I decided to glue a strip of sequins all along the edge of the star, using the same glue. Where the stick, the star, and the sequins met, I glued on a small figure I found in my craft kit. I saw it and thought it looked lovely ✨

I hand-stitched small beads onto all the points of the star, and with that, the fairy wand was finished ✨

Saludos amigos de la comunidad creativa DiyHub, sean bienvenidos a mi espacio creativo, un gusto saludarles espero hayan culminado de forma exitosa, yo un poco desanimada realizar algunos proyectos ya que continúa el tema de la electricidad que casi no me deja hacer nada, así que en estos días me he levantado muy temprano para poder terminar mis trabajos. Espero puedan pasar un buen fin de semana, y que además esté nuevo mes traiga muchas cosas buenas para todos.

Greetings, friends of the DiyHub creative community! Welcome to my creative space—it is a pleasure to say hello. I hope you have successfully wrapped up your own projects; I’ve been feeling a bit disheartened about working on mine because ongoing electricity issues are making it nearly impossible to get anything done, so I’ve been getting up very early lately just to finish my tasks. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and that this new month brings many good things for everyone.

En esta oportunidad les quiero compartir una idea creativa de llavero, se trata de una medusa de limpiapipas bien colorida, esta idea la puedes encontrar en Pinterest es super fácil de realizar y puedes combinar distintos colores, a continuación les muestro los materiales y el paso a paso. Me gustaría leer que tal les pareció y si se atreverían a realizar una similar.

This time, I’d like to share a creative keychain idea with you: a colorful pipe-cleaner jellyfish. You can find this idea on Pinterest; it’s super easy to make, and you can mix and match different colors. Below, I’ve listed the materials and the step-by-step instructions. I’d love to hear what you think and whether you’d give it a try yourself.

Paso a paso / Step by step

El primer paso que vamos a realizar será seleccionar los colores de limpiapipas a utilizar, en mi caso elegí el morado para la parte principal de la medusa, vamos a tomar nueve limpiapipas de 30 cm.

The first step is to select the pipe cleaner colors we’ll be using; I chose purple for the main part of the jellyfish, and we’ll need nine 30 cm pipe cleaners.

Doblamos en la mitad el limpiapipas y con una cinta métrica vamos a marcar hasta 6 cm, allí realizamos un dobles y las puntas que sobran las vamos a pasar a través del centro, unimos el sobrante y cortamos. Este paso lo vamos a realizar con los nueve limpiapipas.

Fold the pipe cleaner in half and use a tape measure to mark a point at 6 cm; make a bend there, pass the remaining ends through the center, join the excess material, and trim it off. Repeat this process with all nine pipe cleaners.

Headband made from fabric yarn. (ENG-ESP)

blanca56 — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 18:06:09 GMT

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSnw8fqqpV2eRmj2qnNHuBc6mHmwgL9FyyFEMMz3thJcd/image.png) ***

***Hello to all members of the #DIYHub community—I hope you have a day full of blessings☺️. I’m here on the platform to share a new tutorial on how to make a headband out of fabric yarn. It’s an easy and inexpensive project, and the best part is that we can make it in any color we like. This accessory is perfect for holding your hair back and keeping it out of your face—it never goes out of style and is great for everyday use. Without further ado, I invite you to join me in making this project.

Hola a todos los miembros de la comunidad #DIYHub, les deseo un día lleno de bendiciones☺️. Mi presencia en la plataforma es para compartir un nuevo contenido sobre cómo hacer una diadema con trapillo. Es un proyecto fácil y económico, y lo mejor es que podemos hacerlo en el color de nuestra preferencia. Ese accesorio sirve para sujetar y apartar el cabello del rostro, que no pasa de moda, para usarlo en el día a día. Sin más nada que acotar, los invito a acompañarme en la ejecución del proyecto.

✨MATERIALS//MATERIALES✨

Plastic headband.
Scissors.
Fabric yarn.
Crochet hook, size 5.00 mm.
Silicone.

Diadema plástica.

Tijera.

Trapillo.

Aguja de crochet N.º 5.00 mm.

Silicón.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVkPpbKSvorBMYoT5aTBJmdSpSMsds47ZkJkKTYuU72CB/image.png)

✨STEPS//PASOS✨

Cut two pieces of fabric yarn about 7 cm long, glue them to each end of the headband using silicone glue, and trim off the excess material, as shown in the photo.

Cortar dos piezas de trapillo de unos 7 cm, pegar con silicón en cada una de las puntas del cintillo, cortar el material sobrante, como está en la fotografía.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmao4pZAx2TYwUarXNYR8iSCkUHNcedFiSok4mbrktDDMH/image.png) * Now, using the fabric yarn strip, glue it around the end of the headband to cover about 3 cm. >* Ahora, con la tira de trapillo, pegar alrededor de la punta del cintillo para cubrir aproximadamente 3 cm. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVKi5sqDu9wbZrppL9kTC1p9RnEnUaJFrH8EyybydMqog/image.png)

Thread the strip of fabric yarn under the headband so that it comes out the other side, then use the needle to make a loop and pull the yarn through it; this is how you start the chain stitch.

Pasar la tira de trapillo por debajo del cintillo saliendo al otro lado y con la aguja hacer la lazada y pasar por el bucle, así damos inicio al punto cadeneta.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmewsQidw9oZq2K3FZbp9pRnVE9fz2fUVNrSSRHmP8BpwE/image.png) * Repeat the process until almost the entire headband is covered, working the stitches together so that the base of the headband isn't visible. >* Repetir el procedimiento hasta cubrir casi todo el cintillo, ir juntando los puntos para que no se vea el fondo del cintillo. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcNMRRUmEvBwg9NSRjXw6jdtpi58s7K9j3H3n7RyD8vai/image.png)

When you reach the other end of the headband, repeat the initial process.

Al llegar al otro extremo del cintillo, repetir el proceso inicial.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmQ1Mqmsi2XYPQ1w4vBav6mQCmmRcNEst6JrDrEDox58pU/1000061048.png

First, I took a plastic bottle and cut it in the middle using a utility knife. Then, I decorated this plastic bottle using red colored paper.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmRe7u3JP114YcDoTuCj5PvqYwxcyx5JoGz2uLrrYpQeek/1000061012.jpg

Next, using two additional sheets of colored paper, I incorporated that specific design into a vase, creating an attractive and captivating look.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmcKxRQ1nEQmfZA8VyCBePZc63dL85XHTabM2HNfcsD6x2/1000061013.jpg

Next, I took two sheets of white paper. These specific sheets are of the same size, measuring 5×10 centimeters.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmaXmH8bcovky4vRiTW9dWB9sWbqgGpD9FTXXiaoEj2urR/1000061014.jpg

After that, I shaped the two pieces of white paper into circles, created a beautiful design, and glued them together.
https://img.leopedia.io/DQmWLUTUBSfoK32Nub5eJTC8gxyTwXfkwdA9iwMNwiroyTe/1000061015.jpg

Next, I made a hole in the bottle and attached a circular piece of white paper. Afterward, I added circular red paper to both sides and completed the design by placing a piece of paper at the bottom.Hhh

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmc6T9tunDXVc6pkCaHSTczjV6ZoB6Df7gbdDobxhaAoRa/1000061016.jpg

Afterwards, I cut a plastic bottle to create the shape of a flower petal.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmaorr1NVEsHC2kutyc1saM75jueT5JfX6y2drtv1r3ZYo/1000061018.jpg

After that, I layered the leaves one on top of the other and secured these special leaves using glue.

https://img.leopedia.io/DQmU4AiBfyWgdfbAS8tH8pRsvUUx5KEijAc3n8qLqQfMLPn/1000061019.jpg

Next, I attached red colored paper to the fish-shaped section; then, for this specific design, I created a circular red paper element and mounted it onto the upper part of the white paper base.

🌍 DIY Around the World: Contest Results & What's Next for DIYHub

This is a cross post of @diyhub/diy-around-the-world-contest-results-and-whats-next-for-diyhub by @diyhub.

Contest results and new initiative

FAQ: What makes a GOOD tutorial?

diyhub — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 21:53:00 GMT

![banner_faq.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/diyhub/23vsjSiBRZR5FEet2d8jqUvyDUW2GRFChh55mLUsZfdehTQMUjph8TGihworWRh1Et9QU.png)

On @DIYHUB we focus mostly on tutorials and documented processes in our target niches. Instructions people can follow to achieve a similar result as the creator of the article. Tutorials are ideal posts for DIYHUB because we believe that practical knowledge stored on a blockchain forever is a great library for future generations and problem solvers. It also helps our blockchain to become a source for research and to attract people from outside on their "normal" journey to find a solution to their problems on the interwebs.

Backstory for writing this article: After we recently narrowed down our categories a few comments and discord messages reached us asking what a "tutorial" is in our eyes and what distinguishes them from "simple" documentations. To have an answer for that up our sleeve we decided to write down some tips so we can use this post as a response for all of these messages. Work smart not hard, right?

1 What is the difference between tutorials and documentations?

created with dall-e. Prompt: an oil painting of cell division

It sounds easy but there are very blurry boundaries between writing documentation and writing an actual tutorial. Assuming the documentation is about a process to achieve a defined result: The more detailed this documentation gets the more it fits into the realm of tutorials we think.

Because a tutorial describes also the completion of a task but its focus lays on repeatability. Tutorials are mostly structured in steps where each step contains details and little side notes of the subtask (see "2.1 Structure" for more). Documenting a process often keeps the little but important details out of focus. Most of the time a documentation does not have the repeatability as a goal and is only showing the progress to a desired result. It is also not easy for us as curators to distinguish between the two and most of the time this decision is very subjective.

2 What makes a good tutorial?

2.1 Structure

created with dall-e. Prompt: oil painting of a small house surrounded with scaffolding on a construction site

The structure is as important as the focus on repeatability for a good tutorial. The whole process should be separated in steps and perhaps even substeps which can get separated on multiple ways but most of the time we use headlines for that (more on that under "2.4 Formatting matters").

Take your time before actually starting to write an article to think about the structure. It helps if you outline the tutorial and build a set of step with headlines and subheadlines you can later focus to work out as paragraphs. This way you support yourself with the needed central thread to never lose track of the bigger picture and what you want to transport with the article.

A common structure would be:

Intro (What will be the result)
Preriquisites (What is needed before start)
Steps (practical doing)
- Step 1
  - substep 1.1
  - substep 1.2
- Step ...
Outro (Recap and Call-To-Action)

You can imagine each step of the tutorial as a little tutorial on its own. Perhaps there is even the need to work in a specific intro and outro for each step to make everything as clear as possible. If the viewer pauses a tutorial it should be easy for them to get back where they have stopped. Try to include noticable different images for each step so the eye can find the paragraph more easily without the need to read but always keep a global style in mind.

FAQ: Content Requirements & Our Target Niches

diyhub — Sat, 26 Nov 2022 00:50:12 GMT

Welcome to @DIYHUB! We are a curation initiative aiming to support HIVE users who put in the effort to share their knowledge with the blockchain. In order to provide a high quality community and curation project we have decided to set up and write down a few content requirements your post should fulfill and to define target niches we curate in. More on that in this FAQ.

The following list of requirements acts as a guideline for:
-- you: to help you creating better content and upgrading the quality of your posts
-- our curators: to decide if a content has enough quality for a curation
-- our delegators: so they know what kind of content we support with their valuable delegation.
The list of target niches shows transparently on what kinds of content we focus with our curation.

Make sure to follow our blog to not miss any upcoming changes on those parts. We are constantly working to improve our initiative and for that changes of the requirements and target niches are needed.

Content Requirements

created with dall-e

One of our long term goals is to build an active community full of practical knowledge shared by creators all around the world. The community and curation should be fair for everyone while showing our delegators that their delegation is in good hands.

Content quality is often subjective but there are also objective factors making a post a high value piece of content. That's why we have set up a few "rules" a post should fulfill in order to get the chance of being curated by us.

Of course the quality improvement of your post does not end with fulfilling our requirements. Make sure to work in more elements that provide additional information on the topic of the post just like: links to external ressources and hive posts (your own or others), visualization of information with graphics / videos and side notes to let the reader understand the topic and process even more.

Rules

1. original content only

We do not accept any content theft and will mute a creator from our community when this happens. Please take the time to add sources to your quotes and give credits if needed.

2. show a process / write a tutorial

We are not curating "only results" (anymore) because one of our key ideals is that sharing knowledge is the key to a vital community where everyone benefits from the content. A basic human need is to learn new things and there is no better platform than hive for that in our opinion. Creators who put more effort in explaining things automatically work on their content creation skills and give the viewer valuable input. Additionally we only curate programing and art posts if they are tutorials to not intersect with other communities. (more on that under "target niches")

3. main language is English

To ensure an active community with valuable discussions in the comment sections we think that one default language is beneficial. Of course you can still share bi-lingual posts and we are also not going to be mad if you comment on a post in spanish. But a post should at least contain English content to be valid for a curation.

4. at least 200 words per language

We strongly believe that 200 words is a minimum in order to share a full process or tutorial on a specific topic. Often we as creators forget to explain the small details a viewer needs to know when following the post. Also side notes, links and additional information on the topic is upgrading the quality of a post and encourages comment discussions.
