That Pokedex Phone case is such a cute idea! That's a wonderful design. I really love it

I saw the Mario Set up in the blog, and I realized I hadn't shared an Eevee set I did for my fiance a few months ago with that same frame!

Very cute! Between this and the Mario one, I think I'm going to have to start looking for that frame!

So I found a tutorial to make spirographs with embroidery thread: http://stealthandaces.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/96/

These are my first attempts:

Wow those are really cool! how much thread did you use to make one?

[rbaron]

That's a really good question! I used the thread at 6 ply, so I used A LOT. For the orange one, I used like half a skein of the darkest orange.
For the pokeball, I used almost that much black.

And, of course it depends on the size of the circle. I have little pieces left over from the bigger circles that can be used to make small spirographs

Very cool!
