Taylor Sewing Anime Items


If you ever wanted to make your own cosplay clothing and get it exactly right, this is the shop to go to. This shop has anime logo patches galore and when used make the perfect accurate outfits. I got a couple of patches and a shirt from Taylorsewinghandmade and could not be happier with their quality. 




The patches are from the anime Soul Eater and are exact replicas of the character "Soul's" patches on his outfit. They are just the right size and colors and if you're a meticulous cosplayer, they are perfect for you. I also got a patch of the cute chibi soul of Soul (I know, a little confusing, it's his soul inside of him and his name is Soul).


These patches are very well made and have no flaws. They are just perfect and can really make a difference when used for cosplay but can still be used as just a cool accessory for regular articles of clothing, or bags, ect. These lovely patches are a great addition to anyone's collection. 


Along with the patches, I received this awesome Ouran High t-shirt. Ouran HighSchool Host Club is definitely a good and funny anime and I am glad to have found such a unique piece of merchandise of the show. The already great patch is added to a super great quality Gildan brand shirt. I really love when people use Gildan brand tee shirts because they are way better quality than just a plain old blank shirt you get at the craft aisle at Walmart. So not only is the patch good quality but so is the shit that it is attached to.


This shirt looks great and I get asked about it by fellow anime enthusiasts quite often. This shop is a great place for many animes and some video game merch. The products are definitely worth their prices for such good quality patches and wonderful art.

OtakuBeadsmith


Nerdy Bead Sprite Art

OtakuBeadsmith, just how it sounds, has all of your Otaku favorites in bead form! If you're a perler and/or anime fan like me, this is a great shop to visit and keep in mind if you're thinking of gifting a perler and/or anime nerd that you may know. I ordered two adorably made perler sprites of two of my favorite strong (and goofy) female characters; Sailor Moon Usagi and Peridot! These two are definitely some creative characters and stand out for sure, so it was easy settling on the two (even if it was hard to not get other perlers from this shop). 


This is the Sailor Moon Usagi bead perler of Usagi in her Sailor Scout outfit. This piece really does not miss out on any detail even with the fact that it is only made from beads. You can see all of Usagi's outfit pieces, even her tiara! This is one of the best perlers I have seen of her so it just had to be mine.


This is the Peridot perler from the show Steven Universe. I have not found any other Peri perlers so far so I was super excited to see that OtakuBeadsmith had her and other characters from the show that I have not seen as perlers yet. This is a really creative chibi looking version of everyone's favorite green space dorito, and I thought she couldn't get cuter! I am so pleased to add these two cuties to my collection.


I have to say, this is some of the best handmade perlers I have ordered, the designs are very unique and well thought. Make sure to check OtakuBeadsmith out and maybe get something for a loved one, or yourself!

~ THE EXPLODING AWESOME ~


TheExplodingAwesome, the name fits. This Etsy store specializes in these cute enamel pins. I received two pins from this shop that I am so very pleased with.


The first enamel pin I got is this whimsical "shooting star" pin. It has one post and a golden back. 


It is actually pretty large in size and has a nice glossy finish. This pin is perfect for any space babe in your life. 

*WARNING*
"STRANGER THINGS" SPOILERS AHEAD


 

This second pin is the homemade "Ouija board" that Joyce Byers from Netflix originals "Stranger Things" made to talk with her son Mike who was lost in the upside down. This was such a creative part of the show that I wish it had more development because I was just so surprised of it happening and really intrigued with the idea of the lights signally that something was there, like a ghost. (Spooky!)

 And I just love the fact that a single mother will not believe her baby boy is dead and makes a frickin "spirit wall" to talk to him! So this sweet little pin was definitely a huge must have for me and I immediately knew what it was supposed to be. 

 

These pins are super heavy and thick. The "spirit wall" pin has two posts which keeps it very steady and secure. These are made with such great quality and I cannot believe how accurate the "spirit wall" is and how good it looks on my makeup bag.


TheExplodingAwesome has many other cool pins for sale, so check them out for more of their high quality items!

JennaBeesBlankets

Custom Baby Blankets, Throws and Other Accessories

JennaBeesBlankets is a great place to find really high quality fabric accessories. They make blankets, throws, zippered pouches, bags, laptop sleeves, and scarves. I have two different zippered pouches from this shop and can say that these items are fantastic and well worth it to buy them. I honestly wish I could buy all the zippered pouches, and blankets!


This is the super cool "Dia De Los Star Wars" designed cosmetic bag I received from this shop.


This bag is huge and I love it! It is very well padded and well stitched. This bag can fit so much stuff in it like, makeup, brushes, nail polish, or anything you like. 


This bag is the size of a small purse and, for someone like me who has a makeup addiction, it is perfect to fit all of my extra makeups in. I also like to do a lot of "monster making" and Halloween makeup so I like to have my dramatic and everyday makeups separated. 


This is the second bag I received in this adorable vintage looking Halloween design. I am in love with this pattern and the bag itself. It is as good a quality as the first one but it's smaller in size, which means it can actually fit in my purse, which is perfect for me. 


Even though this is the smaller cosmetic bag it still fits many items and keeps them from getting crushed or messed up in anyway. My makeup doesn't get lost in my purse anymore or accidently open or pour out, which keeps my purse looking much nicer on the inside.

If you're like me and love nerdy merch, this is a great shop to visit. They make many different perlers of many different video games, fandoms, and styles. The styles are so unique I just love them all! 



These perlers were just too cute to pass up. The idea of using Halloween styles for these Nintendo mushrooms is so cute and creative. These art pieces can be used as ornaments for the Halloween season or used on canvases to make cute seasonal art. They also can be used as magnets, key chains or use them to make a garland. The quality of the perlers are great and they're not flexible even on the stem of the pumpkin or the witch hat. These are actually way more sturdy than some that I have seen, and I was pleasantly surprised. 


This is a cute little Jack  O'Lantern version
with a fall color theme. I really love anything pumpkin so I am so happy to have this great little Jack O'Lantern buddy. 


This is the Witch Mushroom perler. It is such an adorable creation and can be used for more than seasonal creations. These perlers are definitely unique to many other perler creations that I have seen and are made with great quality. I am so happy with my new little Halloween perlers.

This shop has definitely picked the perfect name. I can only think of rainbows and radiance when I visit it. A shop full of beautiful head dresses and accessories. 

 

The first item I got from this store is this cute mini witch hat headband adorned with a little pumpkin, a black feather, a spider, and a bow. The bottom of the hat is a ravishing black veil. This hat is very well made and can be great for a having around Halloween or to wear with a costume. 


 

This head piece is a beautiful gem from the ocean. Feathers, shells, pearls and a gorgeous purple unicorn horn. This is a one of a kind piece of art. The headband has an elastic band to keep the headband on which is great because it is a little heavy. 


These headbands have made for great holiday photos and are so much fun to have. Everyone that has seen them have been very impressed by them. All in all, these headbands are fantastic and great quality, definitely worth it! If you would like to see some more of the intricate designs that this shop has to offer, click here!

Clockwork, steampunk, alternative jewelry, and gorgeous original artwork. This Etsy shop has many ranges of different,creative designs that you can't find anywhere else. I received a intricate wire wrapped steampunk clock necklace. The clock is fake but you can barely tell unless you study it very closely.


The packaging was beautiful and sleek. Usually when I order things online it is just normal envelope packaging but this necklace came in its own box with a plush filling. I really love when products have great packaging like this and you can reuse them if you'd like or so that you can send it as a gift already packaged nicely. 


This necklace is definitely a great statement piece that can be used for costumes, cosplay, or just regular wear to upgrade your style. The necklace has whimsical wire designs around the clock giving it an old timey London clock look. This necklace definitely gives a vintage and rustic vibe and is just great for tying a whole outfit together. The wire is strong and durable and does not bend. This necklace is such great quality and I am very impressed by how gorgeous it looks in person.
