Fidget Journal

A Journal for fidgeters

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/anti-anxiety-journal • Posted by Kin Dragon

This was a present for sister. She has a lot more to fidget over than me. I found out she journaled too (just like me) so I decided to make her a journal with three different fidgeting components. Each fidget "toy" is a tribute to our memories. Allow me to explain: 1.) She was better at keeping pet fish than me. And our mom only allowed us to have beta fish for some reason. So I made her a squishy bubble with a fish in it. 2.) when we were little we watched those Barbie movies. The first was "Barbie in the Nutcracker" and my sister later did ballet and dance in her spare time, but it became so physically straining for her she had to stop in high school. But I remember going to see dance in her shows (mainly the Christmas show "A gift for Emma"). So I made a ballerina dancing in a shaker. There's a magnet on the back of it so she can take it off and shake it, or stick it on her fridge. 3.) our family loves our furry family members and petting them can be a huge stress relief. So I made a white kitty for her to pet when she gets stressed. It doubles as a pocket. This project took me months to make but I gave a guess on how long it would take to make this If you worked on it non stop.
