  • Episode 2 of Ray's Week. Showing my patio some love since the weather is getting nice. Of course, it wouldn't be a Raven Elyse project without some DIYs. Some worked; some didn't! I made some fireboxes to go by the pool, flipped my Crate & Barrel tables, and "tried" to create some modern aesthetic customized serving trays. Watch to see what happened!

    I think you should try the tray idea again but just with clear resin. You wouldn’t have to worry about sanding anything down as the pieces will be shown throughout since the resin is clear. It would be a lot more food safe as well.

    @shawnaharris9813 Місяць тому +4

    Raven this video was hilarious! The fireboxes and tables looked great! I think you should try the tray idea again but make a wooden tray and use the grout in a thin layer with the broken glass pieces in it then seal it with a food safe sealant. It will be lighter than the cement and easier to make a thin layer in the tray. I have seen people make table tops with broken glass pieces on them and they used grout and you don’t have to sand it because the grout just fills up the spaces between the broken pieces.❤

    Tables look awesome and the boxes look good too! The night vibes are def heightened. For future projects you can also line the sand part of the boxes with large garbage bags to prevent leaking. You can also extend the legs to length or width of the box to prevent it from detaching when you try to move it again. For the mosaic part, it is super time consuming bc it’s all about placement. It’s best to place each piece how you want it then apply the cement. When you apply too much it will cause the air pockets unless you thin out the cement enough to ease into small crevices. Love your channel!

    Love your videos. I am a diy girlie myself and have been renovating my house. A good tip that has helped my projects tremendously is pre drilling a hole before screwing in the screws it helps a lot with accuracy. I also started with using a jigsaw too and got comfortable with that. Eventually I started using a circular saw and that changed the game. Also a kreg pocket hole jig is amazing, it looks intimidating but very easy to use. Would have helped with building the planter boxes and with projects in the future. Love your creativity and videos.
