I love making my own decorations for Christmas, Halloween and Easter! I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Grandin Road and other places like those! I also get a lot of inspiration from Disney, Tim Burton and Dr Seuss. I love the whimsical style and I also like to combine vintage and modern.

Wow- this isn’t crafting, it’s ENGINEERING!!! Awesome job❤
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Martina, you have outdone yourself yet again. This is spectacular. You really should be making decor for a major high-end store or for plays and or the theatricals. Just amazing my friend! Thank you so so much for joining the Christmas palooza playlist. You really really brought up crafting to greater heights my friend😊
Thank you so much Annie! ❤️❤️ And thank you so much for hosting another super fun collab! ❤️❤️
This is a Master of Her Craft at work. Amazing! No, everybody cannot do this! This is God Given Talent! In ancient times, Martina, would've been tasked w/designing & building structures.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Simply stunning! Thank you for sharing 😍
Thank you! ❤️
I am speechless.. clever beyond imagination… imagination with intellect
Thank you! 😃
Your freehand painting is always amazing! I love the idea of treading the wire through the buttons. Your attention to detail and designs always leave me in awe!! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible video and project 🤩😍🫶👏👏👏👏
❤ I want to make a calendar like this, but out of fabric. Put dog treats in the pockets for Christmas. It would be cute. ❤
If there’s one guarantee on this channel it is that something will be completely fascinating to watch. The level of detail you add is what makes you a true artist, not just a creator.
Today I watched good old fashioned needle felting for the first time in years. That hair is incredible! Bulking it up with the cardboard is genius. I would have been using whatever cheap yarn I have in the stash and just kind of swirl it around. (Who am I kidding? I’m never going to have the patience to make something like this!)
I can’t wait to see what other magical things your mind creates. It’s awesome to see.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
This is amazing! Your talent and the vision to create, build and decorate this piece of art is outstanding!

@@missangie1562 It would have been funny though 😂
lol I’m glad you would of had a sense of humour about it!? I would of felt 50 shades of embarrassment lol 😂
so AWESOME ….please could you provide product list..
Thank you! ❤️ There is a product list in the description box now! 😊
@@TheSecretCraftRoom 🙏
This is amazing! Approximately how long did it take to make? I love it…but way too much of a challenge for me to make!❤️
It's very hard to answer that, because I took a really long break from working on it. But I think it took a few weeks, maybe about a month total 🤔 But it takes longer when you're trying to figure out how to make it at the same time. If I would make it again it would probably take about half the time 😊
GOD.😊
Thank you! 😊
Is there a link for the drawers or do you know the name?
There is a product list in the description box now! 😊
