🌷Small Biz Updates: New keychains, rejected from Fan Expo, changing my setup.... again!?! 🌷

Hello! I'm Tina, I run 'Made with April' with my dog, April! I know I've been posting somewhat consistently over the past couple weeks but this feels like a more thorough update than anything I've posted recently. I haven't actually used my camera in 3 weeks so it felt a little weird lol

Tbh I really like videos like this! I usually play them on the background while I'm crocheting, and it's so entertaining lol it feels like I'm facetiming a friend (or myself, cause I acually just update while rambling to my friends lmao)

[@madewithapril]

Ahh omg 🥺🩷 I'm glad hehe thank you for the support!!

[@madewithapril]

ALSO THAT MEANS WE ARE FRIENDS NOW 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻✨️✨️✨️

[@MystLily]

Love watching your videos and changing it up is nice although I do love it when you go to the markets as well. It's nice watching your thought processes and quick change to showing us something you're looking up, feels like we are right there with you interacting instead of scripted stuff, you are very natural on the camera talking to us. OMG now I have to make one of those chubby weirdos and my yarn just arrived as I'm typing this

[@madewithapril]

Hahahaha omg they're so fun to make def do it!! I will try to make more of these types of videos then hehe

[@cocoli-marie]

I love this video❤ - I’m a big fan of rambling vlogs 😅

[@madewithapril]

Haha omg I'm glad!! I ramble a lot but I've been trying to focus on market vlogs recently, it's good to hear this one is well received!!

[@amandaddy388]

The eyebrows are super cute on the keychains, especially the dog! Maybe the old purple thickness with the green added underneath, possibly less space between them, a thin longer leaf in between?

[@madewithapril]

I'll try less space between them, I don't want to add a leaf or anything because I want to keep them at a lower price!

[@ChantelleArts]

those keychains are adorable! I didn't know you made them 😍

[@madewithapril]

Hehe thank you!! I've been trying to make more different ones recently!!

[@dawnthompson5528]

Loved your video. I love your chatty style. Keep it up. You do you.🙂

[@madewithapril]

Thank you so much!😭❤

[@Madebysg]

I'm meant to be making some bigger sized plushies for my markets in October, but I can't stop making keychains lmao!! Love love the pikachu ^_^

[@madewithapril]

I feel like it's so addicting because I get the feeling of finishing something so much faster than larger stuff hehe

[@triciawilliams13]

Love you, ❤mellow vibe, I can totally relate to you

[@madewithapril]

[@TyhannieZGriego]

ETM studio has a YT tutorial on San rio charms that I think would be really good and fit your vibe for keychains, also wisteria has been popping off bc of demon slayer so possibly a garland or even try to repurpose some lavender? Love your videos, market and chats like this, as a fellow crochet biz girlie it’s really nice to hear your thought process on items you pick , and how you decide things for your business. Also love your personality

[@madewithapril]

I TOTALLY FORFOT ABOUT WISTERIA OMG ngl I watched one episode of demon slayer and I was like what is this the lines are so cheesy HAHA I should give it another try but I'm so busy trying to catch up on one piece !! Also thank you for the support 🙈🩷

[@rachelgarcia7351]

Omg everything u made I want to crochet now especially the flower plushie u have🥺

[@madewithapril]

hehe its the lazy daisy pattern by @falsebubbles !

[@winoakey2112]

More green on the lavender I think. Love your keychains ❤

[@madewithapril]

This seems to be the popular opinion!! Thank you!!

[@sushimew]

Love the market videos but your relaxed chill vibes are really nice so the chatty vlogs are still nice~ ofc you'll have mroe market videos in the summer time but the slower market times shouldnt deter you from still posting~

[@madewithapril]

Ahhh thank you for the support!! This is motivating for me to try different types of content hehe

[@pieces_of_scrap]

I don't mind this kind of video! Kind of feels like we're hanging out (: I really like all the keychains you showed, especially the lion! I don't mind the ear placement.

[@madewithapril]

ahh thats good to hear, I keep looking at it and thinking if its too weird hahaha

[@calliejewelcreations]

violet evergarden is a amazing name for your violet flowers!! theres a anime series called violet evergarden and violets are a huge part of the show since shes named after them! i love your videos and definitely aspire to get to you're kinda talent!

[@madewithapril]

Ouuu okok I'm glad I went with it then! I only watched a little bit of it so I feel like a bit of a poser hahahha thank you!!

[@aliceDarts]

There are a lot of herbs and flowers in the witcher games. Geralt has to pick them for potions.

[@madewithapril]

OMG I LOVE THE WITCHER I'll have to look up a list omg (I love geralt HAHA)

[@EmiiLarks]

What kind of yarn do you like using for your flowers? (Im sorry if u have already answered this before)

[@madewithapril]

A mix of acrylic and milk cotton!

[@hallieispeachy]

Love love love your videos!! Definitely make whatever you like! It'd be cool if you did a get to know me q&a video :)

[@madewithapril]

Ahh thank you!! I did a Q&A video a while back but it was mostly about my small biz stuff hehe maybe ill talk more about me.. thank you for the support!!

[@roxanasalas7300]

Hermoso todo lo que haes dónde ouedo ver el patrón de las libélulas?❤❤❤

[@madewithapril]

It's on my Instagram! @madewithapril

[@marlenebean]

Hi! What kind of eyes do you use for your keychains? Are they safety eyes or do you thread them on the back or are they just glued on? I used to embroider them but it's hard to be consistent and it's more work

[@madewithapril]

I use a mix, but I always use hot glue to secure! Some of them are safety eyes and some of them are just an eye thats flat on the backside. Embroidering is definitely more hard! I'm still figuring out what I like to use so I use a mix of them to test it out!

[@marlenebean]

@@madewithapril oh wow I've never used hot glue, maybe I'll give it a shot. Thx :)

[@vitchielorinl.pordios4946]

hi! what pattern did you use on those keychains?😊 they look super cute

[@madewithapril]

Hii there's a mix! The dragonflies are my pattern, some are from xiaohongshu like the geese ans some of the animals and Pikachu, ans the rest are mostly free from instagram and youtube!

[@vitchielorinl.pordios4946]

Thank youuu but is xiaohongshu in youtube? I can’t seem to find it 🥺 i badly want to make it too

[@dikshagoswami9234]

I'm sorry I couldn't hear you clearly when you mentioned in the video, but whom did you say the keychain patterns are by? When you say "all my patterns are from... they're on youtube as well"

[@madewithapril]

They're from xiaohongshu!! Most of them are free and have similar patterns on youtube as well!

[@dikshagoswami9234]

@@madewithapril Ah alright, thank you for the info!

[@NellyMad3It]

@@madewithaprilI may be a complete airhead, but I can’t find them! Can you tag them?

[@dikshagoswami9234]

@@NellyMad3It It seems Xiaohongshu is a Chinese social media platform haha

[@Astitchingwitch]

Lavender- lavender town from Pokémon maybe?

[@madewithapril]

omg i was thinking this, and maybe making a gengar plush or something hehe

[@-Splendid-]

POV Tina: guys I don’t even have that many flowers it looks like a lot but it’s rlly not. Us: How many do you have? Tina: guys I only have one million it’s not that many flowers Us: … 0-0

[@madewithapril]

HAHAHA I guess after making so many it doesn't feel as significant for me bahaha

[@TheGoblinQuinn]

Genshin impact has a fair few flowers in it as well

[@madewithapril]

I've made the glaze lily but unfortunately the designs are all so complicated x-x its hard to justify the cost/unit it would end up coming out to, and most people wouldn't want to pay that much :(

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

Eyebrows add expression.

[@SophieHeywood]

I know it's not anime but you could market the violets as Alice in Wonderland idk 👀also I love your market vlogs!! but you gotta do what makes you happy 💓

[@madewithapril]

Ahh thank you for the support!! Also omg I feel like I totally forgot about Alice in wonderland

[@debbiehaskins2566]

Not judging or being critical...your work and ideas r great... But the more negativity you speak out...the more u will receive.

[@madewithapril]

Ahh you're right, noted!!

[@pamelavalenciasosa144]

I follow you from Peru! Love your style and advices! You have really good taste y everything you make! ☺️ saludos! ☺️

[@madewithapril]
