      Came here to say the same thing. My boyfriend hates christmas and doesn’t allow me to put up any decorations, let alone help me. Only him together with his children are allowed to do anything related to christmas. Seeing you work together made my eyes well up with tears of joy and happines. ❤

    I love that you put a photo of the high end ornaments with their prices, to remind us of how preposterous it is to pay full price when you can make them yourselves. And even if it’s not the biggest savings in the world, it’s the fun in making them too! You can also customize them exactly how you’d like 🩵 Your husband is amazing! 🤣 You guys have an amazing partnership and I hope you know how lucky you are to have someone supporting your DIYs. Whether he truly enjoys making them or not, just helping you in itself says a lot about the type of man he is. You’re softspoken, kind, and creative, so he definitely hit the jackpot too finding a woman like you! I adore and love your channel, and love watching it when I’m not taking care of my six pups 😭 usually during downtime when they’re taking a nap or asleep at night! My guilty pleasure is coming to your channel and trying to find any video I haven’t already watched. You and Fia Garcia DIY are hands down the best two channels

      I couldn't agree more! The prices of Christmas decorations are just plain crazy, especially when you can create them in your own personal style and color. We really do love to create things that resemble those high-end looks, but to try and do it in a way that my wallet doesn't scream at me. Six pups!!! Wow. We love dogs, and we lost one a few years back and I just haven't been able to bring myself to adopt another one. It literally kills me to think of her. Thank you for acknowledging both Cory and I with your sweet comment. He is usually up for most of my crazy ideas. And thank you for the compliment. I love Fia's channel. She is amazing. So happy to have you with us. Stop in anytime (when those little stinkers are sleeping) and say hello!!

I suggest if you do stain them, put on a pre-stain so that the wood won't soak up so much of the actual color. They turn out so lovely. Scour some of your second hand stores for little houses. You can do this trick on ceramic or anything really. Hope you'll get lucky and find some 😊

I loved them before, but my taste has changed (as it often does) and I couldn't part with them. It really was easy to do, but may I say, the Rub n Buff is very smelly, so be sure to do it in a well ventilated space. Many blessings ❤

Hope that helps. I used Autumn Gold, European Gold and Ebony rub n buff on them. Thank you for being here with us.

    Be careful what paint is used on galvanized. I’ve spray painted galvanized only to have the paint peel off.

    • @the_dauer_diaries
      @the_dauer_diaries  Рік тому

      Great point! Cory did use Fusion by Kraylon which has a primer built in. They shouldn't ever be outside but definitely something to consider for any future projects. Thank you for being with us! 🌲

    • @nancychannel8513
      @nancychannel8513 Рік тому

      Some galvanized has almost an oily finish. If that's washed off thoroughly it does help the paint primer to stick

    Thank You sooo much!!! My question to you and or your Husband which by the Way is AWESOME SAUCE THAT GE IS EITH YOU ON ALL YOUR DUPES!!!!🫣👍🏻😂. Okay back to my Question? This year is outlandishly in favor of the Flocked suede look ornaments like BROWNS, GREENS, REDS, PURPLES. ETC. Get my drift? How would those be DONE🥰🥰🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @the_dauer_diaries
      @the_dauer_diaries  Рік тому

      That is a wonderful question, and you actually can flock your own ornaments. You would have to buy a flocking kit in the colors you need, not sure on the cost as of right now, but I think you've given us another DIY to share! But if you want to get to work on them in the meantime, look up flocking kits on Amazon. Also, be sure to use an adhesive with the flocking so it doesn't leave a trail all over your home 😉 Thank you so much for being with us!! ❤
