What happens when a crocheter tries something new?

After watching Toy Story 5, my girls completely fell in love with Lilypad (especially my youngest, who can't stop quoting her lines). I couldn't resist turning this adorable character into a shaker toy with the xTool M2 machine I reviewed last week.

DIY Toy Story Lilypad Shaker

I know many of you are here for crochet, but I also know we all share a love of making things, so I hope this project inspires you, whether you pick up a crochet hook, a paintbrush, or a laser cutter.

I had so much fun designing this project from scratch! Even if laser cutting isn't your craft of choice, I hope you'll enjoy seeing the creative process behind it <3
