Hi friends!! Here's all the info for June's Journey once more 🥰 👒🔍 Download June’s Journey for free now using my link: woo.ga/ia2xgre5 And purchase the June’s Journey interactive diary here: woo.ga/JJDiary_RachelMaksy GIVEAWAY FORM! (will be closed after 48 hours): forms.gle/H29QJsnUcbt8bYpY6
When you said, "What would Christine McConnell do," I thought, "She'd probably bake individual shingles out of gingerbread, each with a unique design copied directly from historically-accurate examples of Victorian wallpaper, but with her own spooky spin of including a bat or a mouse in the corner of each, only visible with a magnifying glass that she.cast out of poured sugar...." and then I got tired just from thinking about the work that goes into her (and your) projects and got a snack.
As someone who is a baker but also does decoden, here's some tips: The icing tip goes inside of the bag lol. You cut the tip of the bag off, put the icing tip inside and then put your silicone in the bag. You can twist the top of the bag, rubber band it, zip tie it etc to keep the silicone from oozing out the top and it also gives you more control of the bag with applying pressure. If you ever want to add color to your silicone you can use mica or oil based paint, no water-based colors because it will cause the silicone to seize up and then you cant pipe it!
Tip if you ever find yourself doing icing like this again: cut a hole in the pastry bag/sandwich bag and put the tip inside the bag so the tip of it comes out the hole, then twist the bag above the icing/caulk and squeeze with your hand on top of the bulb of icing/caulk. You'll get more control this way and won't have to hold the tip in place! This is how I was taught to ice cake/cookies when I worked in a bakery. :)
I imagine she tried it that way but had caulking come out around the tip because of it's thickness. Someone had the idea to double bag. Put the caulk in its own bag and then use another to hold the tip in place.
Welcome to a Rachel Maksy video where we all ask ourselves, "What will she turn brown today?" (with the occasional green thing) 😆 It turned out great! Also, try putting the icing tip inside the baggie.
OR double bag! Put the tip on the outside of the caulk filled bag and then put those into another (maybe bigger) bag. This can help with the removal of the tip as well!
I have to admit that I save your videos for moments when I'm not feeling mentally well. You bring me comfort, thank you for your effort and love into creating ✨️whimsical✨️ content, and for sharing it with us. Much love 💌
Same here, but I watch them on both the good and the not so good days - she always brings me joy. wishing you guys peace and calm of mind this christmas! ❤
I love that her content fully embraces the total jank of crafting. So many youtubers have the perfect set up and churn out perfect pieces. It is nice to see the journey and the learning going from doesn't know what one is doing to sort of knows what one is doing
I just started watching and I am so filled with affection for Rachel, looking completely overwhelmed by the size of this monstrosity and yet also giddy with the prospect of gingerbreadifying it. Rachel Maksy, Patron Saint of Chaotic Crafters.
Me, casually buying plastic dinosaurs and a DVD of the first season of Wild Kratts: "Yes, cashier! My nephew, my nephew that truly exists, will love these." Five years before I even had a nephew.
Only the child is you. You are the child. Hashtag refuse to grow up 💜 To clarify: I have a child. I buy things with the excuse of "it's for my daughter". But really it's for me.
Oh my goodness, I am a Rachel Lynne myself! Indeed, there was something in the air in those early 90s. (Also, thank you, as always, for bringing such warmth and goodness into the world through being you!)
I have often mentioned to my husband how amazing Rachel's videos and projects are, but I made him watch this one all the way through. He loved it and he has lived Nick's experience with things like this so many times. "Where are we going to put this ?" And yet they still encourage and support our crazy creative endeavors! I told him I had been thinking I need a Christmas House.... (I did a haunted house make over last year )
Rachael's reaction to the size of the dollhouse was my reaction to every project I undertake. Super simple no problems at... OH MY GOSH. So relatable and delightful.
Could also use clear sheets of mylar, or even windows removed from pasta boxes could work. Then paint over em or use an alcohol-based pigment like sharpies to tint/frost the windows
I’m loving that you’re using the Frozen castle as the base for this project 🥰🥰 it’s so perfect and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY!!! So festive and creative too!
I love it so much!!!! Heads up about the windows. I make doll rooms and accessories, and you can use clear plastic packaging or old clear take out containers for windows. To get a melty distorted effect you can add a tiny bit of paint to some mod podge or clear glue and paint it on the plastic in swirly patterns. When it drys is looks like tinted uneven glass. You can also do multiple thick layers for a water effect!
Definitely be kind to yourself, because the smaller-ish (time wise) projects are just as fun for us as the monster projects. I just love your creativity and your mega-talent.
“New addition to the Hansel and Gretel Cinematic Universe: First, they were Witch Hunters. NOW THEY ARE… HOUSE FLIPPERS!” (I couldn’t get that idea out of my head any other way than inflicting it on others, sorry…)
The peppermint tiles are so cute! I was not expecting to like it, because the aesthetic of white/red striped is frustratingly overused, but it actually looks really pretty because it's so irregular!
I am in love with this project and this video!! My ‘aesthetic vibe(?), is ‘Grandma’s House meets The Addams Family’…also…anything in miniature ROCKS! 😉😂 Happy Gingerbread Christmas! ❤🎄🤎
Hey Rachel - Piping tip when using a pastry bag. The zip lock bag is a great idea. Next time, cut your hole in the corner first, then put your piping tip INSIDE the bag with the tip wedged into the little hole you cut. Make sure it's snug. Hope that helps you with a future project!
*Watches as everyone runs to find their own castle to make into a gingerbread home*. Love love love. That is so much fun and a cute home for all your little creatures. :-)
That dollhouse is huge and looks so cool. I originally got into June's Journey because of the video you did with Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner where you switched hairstyles in Boston. Still playing it, and the journal is very cool.
When you said you needed a "simple" project in part because you have a cold... I was like......😮 That would be a huge project for me and it sure wouldn't happen when I had a cold. lol That's why you're so lovable. You do these things to brighten our days no matter what! ❤
I tried waiting until Saturday for a while, have myself a cozy moment with a snack so I could soak in all the loveliness….. but it was so painful not to click on the video and scroll past to something else. The thumbnail taunting me with the promise of whimsy. Now I just curl up in bed with some fluffy pillows, extra blankets and my kitty cat, letting myself enjoy as soon as the video pops up.
... no. Bad commenter. Bad. As someone who follows several dollhouse makers that is years of work to do right turning whats meant to be a fun easy project into a major time and energy eater. As awesome as it would be to see I would feel so bad for her.
@@krose6451 It could be a whole series though. A video each for each piece of furniture and then a room video. Long term project in smaller don't over do it chunks.
True, though generally have to be comfortable with having a permanent UFO. They are rabbit holes of awesome ideas neverending. I have a 1/12 scale bjd in my dollhouse, who sits wrapped in a Kleenex for a dress in her sewing room with no electricity or finished floors, and occasionally I peer in to dream.
I had no idea that I needed a gingerbread doll's house until today. *Opens marketplace... 😂 But seriously this is so stinking cute ❤ Hope you get better soon
This is absolutely adorable! If you decide to try to make the watery windows later (or on another project), you can use resin and chop the "glass" as it cures.
It’s huge because it was a designed for Barbie sized dolls. However, it would be a BEAUTIFUL fit for Maileg Minis, Mouses, and sz. 1 dolls. Perfection!
A house? Nay good sir, now it's a gingerbread chalet xD I absolutely love how this turned out and now I want to make one of my own (maybe a tad smaller though, just a smidge lol). The only thing I think I'd add is a little "snow" on the railings between the chocolate posts; just so that it stands out some, like your piping is wildly good and I'm surprised you didn't go ham with it lol 12/10 Rachel build, would recommend to a friend
This looks so cool, Rachel! And I'm happy you're thinking better for yourself with the result of your projects. Honestly, I think the very fact that it exists overtakes the small mistakes that you see in it. It exists! And that's better than it being Conceivably Perfect but still an idea. :D
Loved the video and "easier" break projects like this! Perhaps in the future some candy cane and/or gingerbread furniture could be made to continue to decorate it? Love you Rachel!
I absolutely love this! If you wanted to make windows that look like sugar but would keep I’d melt a thin layer of hot glue onto some wax paper then peel it off and cut it to size. You did such a good job that house is huge!
You did a very good job on that HUGE doll house! I was a little sceptical when I saw it was made out of plastic, but it turned out looking FABULOUS! Rachel does it again! (clapping and whistling) Thanks for making my day a little more festive! ~Janet in Canada
Just a few notes. I love it. Frozen art is absolutely the perfect style house. Since its not edable, you could spray it with christmas tree flocking or fake snow. I would definitly look at places where the details lack and glue on some fake candies. Overall its great!
You can use a rubberband to close the open end of a piping bag up. That's what we did when I worked in a bakery. Just twist & then folder over the open end (be sure not to over fill your bag, you can always add more later) and then put your rubberband on.
In the future, for stained glass looking windows, I highly recommend laminate sheets and sharpie markers. Run the laminate through by itself and it makes a nice shiny, flexible plastic sheet. Love the whimsy in this project!
First time here: love your having-so-much fun personality. Like you, I was amazed at how it went from Disney Colorland to warm, gingerbread villa when you “baked” it brown. I agree with the other comments about Christmas trees. I love the idea of gum drops and hope you also consider miniature green swags and fairy lights or mini lanterns. Thank you for the happiness and mood lifting.
This is amazing! It's so big, but now all your Little Guys™ have a place to live! The Frozen house was a good choice of base :D all the moulded details look wintery and Christmassy naturally! Even real gingerbread houses made by hand have these "imperfections", so it really really works. This was a joy to watch! Also, I will absolutely be stealing that line "you took a DNA test and Bob is, in fact... your uncle" 😂
Next week is going to be the hottest week of the year so far and UA-cam has the audacity to recommend a gingerbread video making me want cool autumn cozy vibes
I love it!!!!!! If you see this, you can split big projects into several videos!! I Will Watch All Of Them!!! Please don't feel so rushed to complete everything so quickly! If you take a year to make a dress I would watch every biweekly update ^u^
This was such a fun “little” project!! I’d honestly love to see more of these, especially if they’re easier on the brain for you!!! And that Jue’s Journey giveaway is so cute as well ❤
You may want to try this the next time you want to pipe something. When using a ziplock or other kind of bag first cut a small part of the corner off. Then open the bag and insert tip in the cut corner. The amount that you have cut off should be small enough to hold the tip in there all by itself but not block the tip opening. Next put in what ever you are using for piping. Doing it in this order will keep the tip on and the piping contents flowing the way that you would like. Nice house. Good work.
It looks amazing! You did such a beautiful job on it! I was having a pretty bad day (nothing major, just a lot of little stresses) and you made it a lot better. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
This is such a BETTER way to do gingerbread houses withoit having to assemble a house out of cookies that are hard to attach. I rather bake soft gingerbreadmen cookies to eat than make a house out of those hard to eat gingerbread house cookie kit you get at Target or Walgreens.
I couldn't stop laughing! I love your crafty chaos. Also your gingerbread house is gorgeous and I am honestly mindblown by that giant. I wonder when the parents bought it if they were like "are we really doing this?"
I really want to try this now!!! Personally, I would love to see a peppermint added to the center gable, the pillars around the verandas to be painted like candy canes, and more piped caulk along the base like snow on the ground. Your videos always get the creative juices flowing.
I was an only child and I can attest that these toys were made for us. Them being so big helps the imagination and makes it more enjoyable to use as a play house than a tiny one that you can’t see all of the rooms in.
OMG lady!!! Put this at your front door for the season. you can get some plug in lights for it, put some greener. low effort decos for the season 🥰 fun video - looks cute
Hi Rachel, just wanted to let you know it's so nice seeing yourself be generous with yourself. Did I realise you were being a bit not-as-perfectionist about this project? After having watched your channel for years: probably. Is it still freaking adorable and absolutely beautiful? Definitely! I love your stuff when you go absolutely batsh*t crazy about the details and I love it just as much when you just let it be whatever it turns out and it makes me so confident to just try out stuff for myself without worrying about the outcome and just enjoy creating for the sake of it. So thanks for that I guess and sorry for the rambling!
The typical method for making gingerbread houses in Europe is using gelatin sheets that can easily be made into stained glass by painting it with food coloring.

She actually did a gingerbread house copy of the Winchester mansion. Utterly glorious.
Too accurate 😂
Accurate 😂
Where is the lie 😭
I got tired half way through reading this.
The idea of Rachel being like "ah yes I will do a small project! A little gingerbread house!" And then receiving a huge castle is so funny 😂

@@apriljk6557 Could also just duct tape the bag to the tip, then cut the tape off the tip once you’re done
yes, i was going to comment the same thing.
If you put the piping tip inside the snipped bag before you fill it with "icing" and then it stays in place while you pipe.
Came here to say the same 💕
I was internally screaming that as she was struggling 😅
Came to say the same thing
The former cake decorator in me was screaming. It still came out so cute though.
Maybe attach the tip directly to the caulking gun
"You took a DNA test and Bob is, in fact, your uncle." 😂😂😂❤ The gingerbread house turned out SO CUTE!
I didn't get how it was related to parchment paper, could you explain it to me ?
@@lolabee5238 "bob's your uncle" is a saying, kind of like a "and the next thing you know..." sort of thing at the end of a sentence

So cute! I think the "Peppermint Patty-o" is my favorite part. Well done! As with most of your videos, I feel inspired to make my own.
Rachel never fails to deliver perfect ✨chaos and whimsy✨
Tip for the windows:
A lot of people will use sheets of gelatin as the glass in real gingerbread houses 🥰
Could also use clear sheets of mylar, or even windows removed from pasta boxes could work. Then paint over em or use an alcohol-based pigment like sharpies to tint/frost the windows
The peppermint patty-o was a stroke of genius. Love it!
ive been having such a tough time lately. watching rachel puts my soul back together piece by piece

I really appreciate creative projects that are more winter and cozy themed, and not Christmas. Thanks!
I love seeing Rachel make cute vintage things to build her cozy Victorian forest faery world
I can't believe how the piping changes the look from Nordic to Victorian in an instant!
The idea of gumdrops would be so cute to add little pops of color here and there. I already love it so much!
Definitely be kind to yourself, because the smaller-ish (time wise) projects are just as fun for us as the monster projects. I just love your creativity and your mega-talent.
Cute! Instead of Anna and Elsa’s house it’s now Hansel and Gretel’s 🤪

As a fan of dolls, vintage architecture, and whimsy, I ADORED watching this project come to life! Excellent work!
The peppermint tiles are so cute! I was not expecting to like it, because the aesthetic of white/red striped is frustratingly overused, but it actually looks really pretty because it's so irregular!

I am in love with this project and this video!! My ‘aesthetic vibe(?), is ‘Grandma’s House meets The Addams Family’…also…anything in miniature ROCKS! 😉😂 Happy Gingerbread Christmas! ❤🎄🤎
All the way through my daughter was saying "That's so cute!" "I love it Rachel Maksy!" 😊
Wow, that's big, but equally adorable.❤ And, snow...magical. ❄️❄️❄️
I love watching dollhouses be repainted, you dont know how excited i was to see this pop up 😂❤
I was blown away by how FAST she did it ! 😮
Hey Rachel - Piping tip when using a pastry bag.
The zip lock bag is a great idea. Next time, cut your hole in the corner first, then put your piping tip INSIDE the bag with the tip wedged into the little hole you cut. Make sure it's snug.
Hope that helps you with a future project!
*Watches as everyone runs to find their own castle to make into a gingerbread home*. Love love love. That is so much fun and a cute home for all your little creatures. :-)
I love that it's reusable.
Weathering with white paint was SUCH a good idea!
That dollhouse is huge and looks so cool. I originally got into June's Journey because of the video you did with Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner where you switched hairstyles in Boston. Still playing it, and the journal is very cool.
That was the first video I ever saw her in ! (I live south of Boston) I've been following all 3 ever since, but Rachel is the favorite 😍

Oh my God, can you imagine the little frog ready on the porch or the night guarding the door? Ahhhhh 😱
Or in a little Adirondack chair on the porch with his feet up and his hands behind his head relaxing! I'm dying! It would be so cute!

"you took a DNA test and Bob is infact your uncle" is probably the funniest line ive ever heard
Next step, make each room Victorian themed and make miniatures. ❤

Beautiful! And it lasts tear after year. A little greenery one year. Tiny outdoor lights another.
This is a nice project for holiday decorations can be reused year after year, better than wasting food every year
I love the peppermint padd o. I'm smaller houses using puffy paints the white comes out nice and shiny and you have a lot of control over it
I stayed up to wait for Rachel to drop her Friday vid. Anyone else? I can now go to bed a "happy chappy." ❤

I love it!!!!!! If you see this, you can split big projects into several videos!! I Will Watch All Of Them!!! Please don't feel so rushed to complete everything so quickly! If you take a year to make a dress I would watch every biweekly update ^u^
Holy crap girl! You put the pastry tip on the *INSIDE* of the bag. 😂😂😂😂 You poor thing.
At first, when you bought this, I was thinking how hideous it is. Now? It's a treasure. I ❤ it! You are so resourceful and creative.
OMG THIS IS TALLER THAN ME!!! oop im short.
Same lol
Your not short your fun sized❤
@@unscdarknoblemedia9585well I appreciate your support 😂
This was such a fun “little” project!! I’d honestly love to see more of these, especially if they’re easier on the brain for you!!! And that Jue’s Journey giveaway is so cute as well ❤
I now need a Victorian gingerbread house in my life!
You may want to try this the next time you want to pipe something. When using a ziplock or other kind of bag first cut a small part of the corner off. Then open the bag and insert tip in the cut corner. The amount that you have cut off should be small enough to hold the tip in there all by itself but not block the tip opening. Next put in what ever you are using for piping. Doing it in this order will keep the tip on and the piping contents flowing the way that you would like. Nice house. Good work.
It looks amazing! You did such a beautiful job on it!
I was having a pretty bad day (nothing major, just a lot of little stresses) and you made it a lot better. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
hope today was a better day for you and tomorrow is even better. ❤
Barely half way through the video and this project has already brought me so much serotonin!!
This is such a BETTER way to do gingerbread houses withoit having to assemble a house out of cookies that are hard to attach.
I rather bake soft gingerbreadmen cookies to eat than make a house out of those hard to eat gingerbread house cookie kit you get at Target or Walgreens.
I couldn't stop laughing! I love your crafty chaos. Also your gingerbread house is gorgeous and I am honestly mindblown by that giant. I wonder when the parents bought it if they were like "are we really doing this?"
Birdfeeder house! It looks So pretty outside you just need to waterproof it. Plus it doubles as a real fancy outside christmasdecoration.
Your gingerbread house is magical! I love it and you did a great job. 🤗❤️🤗
I really want to try this now!!! Personally, I would love to see a peppermint added to the center gable, the pillars around the verandas to be painted like candy canes, and more piped caulk along the base like snow on the ground. Your videos always get the creative juices flowing.
If that's not wholesome content I don't know what is!💜 this turned out so freaking adorable not me wanting to go buy a child's doll house 😅
it feels like a cozy little house that could be an iconic prop from a classic christmas film ^^
This genuinely turned out so pretty! I totally thought you were going to use it as a lawn decoration because it's so big 😂
I was an only child and I can attest that these toys were made for us. Them being so big helps the imagination and makes it more enjoyable to use as a play house than a tiny one that you can’t see all of the rooms in.
OMG lady!!!
Put this at your front door for the season. you can get some plug in lights for it, put some greener. low effort decos for the season 🥰
fun video - looks cute

Hi Rachel, just wanted to let you know it's so nice seeing yourself be generous with yourself. Did I realise you were being a bit not-as-perfectionist about this project? After having watched your channel for years: probably. Is it still freaking adorable and absolutely beautiful? Definitely! I love your stuff when you go absolutely batsh*t crazy about the details and I love it just as much when you just let it be whatever it turns out and it makes me so confident to just try out stuff for myself without worrying about the outcome and just enjoy creating for the sake of it. So thanks for that I guess and sorry for the rambling!
I can't express how much I frickin LOVE this vid!! Your energy is wonderful, your "omg it's 5 feet tall", finished dollhouse... Everything! :D :D
The typical method for making gingerbread houses in Europe is using gelatin sheets that can easily be made into stained glass by painting it with food coloring.
