    15:13 mark....For the bulb tops I pull the metal piece up but not all the way out of the little top piece, put the top piece back in then push the little metal hanger piece back into the bulb. They usually pop right in because pulling it upwards is essentially pinching it.

    I'm big on reuseing and upcycling so i use the cardboard from soda 12 packs to make my cone trees. Once its opened upmits really big. I tape the handle part if they have been pushed through. I also secure mine with tape because i like the edge to,be flush on the cone. I used some thicker,fluffy yarn and some leftover macrame cord to wrap them and they are gorgeous.

    @gwenhavlichek5025 3 місяці тому

    Something I do with the bottom-of-the-jar candle wax is, after I’ve collected enough, melt the wax and then dip my pine cones into it. I place them on wax paper to dry and if desired dip them again. Arrange them on a nice tray and they look like Christmas trees on a snowy day and they smell beautifully! Lastly if you cut the top of the pine cone off and paint them they’ll take on the look of a Zinnia. From there you can make a Spring wreath or add stems for a bouquet. Just thought how with modpodge and paint and then pour a little inside your ornament turning it in different directions to create a design on the inside. Challenge yourself and use an acrylic pour technique.

    Love your mod podge creations!!! The wires on the ornament caps should have little ridges at the bottom of the wire. If you pull the wire up into the silver cap, then push the cap back on the ornament, you can easily push down on the silver wire, and it pops back out. Hope this helps! 😉

      @thediystruggle  Рік тому +1

      Try it on a piece of dollar tree wood first.
      Get 3 sponges or pounces.
      Dip one in one color the other in another color and move them from each end towards each other.
      When they almost touch keep popping color on each side and use the 3rd blank sponge to blend the too and clean it as needed if it becomes to saturated with one color over the other

    Brandy,
    Have you ever done a reverse mod podge? I saw a crafter do it and her craft was so beautiful.
    The candles stems have a pearl essence to them or the the look of the inside of the oyster shell.
    Do you put the mod podge on the item that you are going to paint on first before you lay down the stencil and tape it?
    OR
    Do you put down the stencil, painter’s tape, Mod Podge, paint, (Mix pod podge and paint together)? Dry between layers.
    You made Saturn.

    All AWESOME ideas Brandy. All look gorgeous too. I love the idea with mica powder in mod podge. I’d like to know if you’ve got ESP lol. I was very kindly given a bottle of purple mod podge and when I realised how long it took to be able to use the thing I used it on I decided not to use it but then had no idea what to do with it. Then your video comes out and what do you use but the purple mod podge. I got an idea at least, with how else to use it than what I’ve got it for. Seeing how it’s a big bottle I’ll be dipping string for the next 20 years though lol. Do you have any other ideas for using it Brandy. I’d really appreciate it if you do. As I can’t see very well I can’t read the bottle to see what it says. I even went on Plaids page and the only thing I could find was someone recommending not to use it, so no help there either. Loved all your projects, especially the big pine cone on your door, it looks awesome.
