    I just you white school glue with my foil and it works great! When I brush off the extra foil I put say letter in a big baggy and dust off into the bag! Then you can use the flakes for another project! And no mess! Grt diy. They came out fab! 😊😊❤

    I am stunned.
    That lion blew me away!
    I didn’t know t-shirt frames existed.
    YOUR laughter is infectious. Your sense of humor kicks the hilarity up a few notches.
    Your talent is phenomenal! That combined with the patience that you use explaining every single thing makes me wonder (yet again) why don’t you have 100k subscribers? We, as your viewers, are failing you. We need to be sharing your videos to get you the exposure needed to make that happen.
    All of the projects are amazing. I’m overwhelmed with creative ideas of my own. I need that hard bowl in my life. It needs to live on my entryway table as a catchall for all of the beautiful things from nature that all of my family and friends love to share with me. Think rocks. Feathers. Pieces of colored glass that I can’t stop myself from picking up from the street when we visit New Orleans.
    The raw edge wood with the book pages. Oh. Immediately my brain started thinking. Smaller round slices. Old dictionary pages. That technique for tinting the pages. A small paper cut out of various shapes. Bear. Moose. Wolf. A single word. Word porn. Hung on a small tree. I won’t bore you with the million other ideas that you inspired.
    WHY aren’t you sponsored by mod podge? You use them in almost every diy video you make. Is there such a thing as an ambassador for mod podge?
    I saw the shopping video where you picked up those foil bits. I’ve been waiting to see how you used them. I was thinking hmm. Shiny but not glitter. Glitter and grits are both evil. You will find specs of them in random places for years. I will be watching to see if they appear in another video with a technique that works better. The potential was there.
    Again with the lion, your amazing talent shines through. Possibly you could figure out a way to put that lion on a t-shirt?
    Will we be seeing a third channel soon, featuring furniture art? Or perhaps content creation and video editing? Production?

  • @TheCraftydevilSpeaks
    @TheCraftydevilSpeaks Рік тому +13

    I think the foil and the flakes may have worked better if you painted on a second coat of mod Podge first before foiling. The first coat sinks into the wood and doesn’t stay on the surface enough to grab the foil but it will seal the wood. Second coat will stay on the top more so it should allow the foil to stick.

    These are all great Brandi, I love the bowl as much as your commentary lol!! All projects are awesome but I think my favourite is the lion, he’s gorgeous. I’m going to try the decoupaging on the wood pieces, I love the painting on the paper. I have some similar paper and lots of wood things do I’ll use them. The stuff you used on the stencils is great but have you ever thought to use lunar paste it’s Simon Hurley stuff with so many colours and he has such great ideas on his videos for mixing the colours etc. he makes cards but you can use the lunar paste for lots of stuff. I don’t have any yet but I’m getting some. TFS Brandi.

    After watching the video it gave me an idea to help seal these cheap canvas from crafters square, works perfectly. When painting on them without the mod podge they would end up bending and absorbing too much water. Great video, it has given me some great ideas to move forward with my projects ❤
