Thank you! I really hope you do! Putting them together was not time consuming at all, but the drying between paint coats was annoying lol. I really need to get a heat gun.
You deserve a million thumbs up 👍🏽. You work so hard at everything you create I’m so super impressed. I look forward to seeing your videos. Even though I have not yet created anything, I will watch your videos. Your creations are amazing
Araceli, I say this all the time but I’m going to say it again! YOU are beyond brilliant!!!! Wow wow and wow! Your creativity and passion always inspires me! THANK YOU so much for putting in so much time and love into these projects, and sharing with all of us! Can’t wait to make them! I just love you girl, keep shining! 💕 🎄 💫
Oh my …thank you for sharing your “bumps” along the way and your laugh is so contagious. One up cycle hack: I have been saving my flat pillows and asking for used pillows from family and I use the fiber fill to make new pillows, dolls, ornaments etc.
Girl! Your gingerbread pillows turned out beautifully. And wowza! Did I just watch you DIY two nutcrackers from plastic shot glasses? My mouth was wide open in awe as I watched this. I admire your patience in painting these. I tend to get too much paint on my brush. I am trying to learn from you. I’ve always thought that you are a really good artist when it comes to faces and your writing is always pretty. These are all such beautiful pieces of artwork. Once again. I am blown away by your talent and creativity. You were born to do this. Thanks for sharing and showing us that we can have these amazing things in our homes for a small amount of money. Dupes are my favorite DIYs. I feel sorry for people that pay the outrageous high prices for these items. I’m glad I can dupe most anything that I see. It so much fun to DIY things. I’ll bet your children love that you can make these amazing things and you have a job that keeps you at home. This is what I love about UA-cam. It has given parents the opportunity be make a living while raising their children. Also by sharing your God given talents while caring for your family. I look forward to more of your talent at work. 😊❤️
This was such a sweet message and thank you so much for taking the time to type it. I always try to roll or tap my paintbrush to get any excess off and in this case I got it all over my sleeve too lol. I am super frugal and didn't grow up with much so I can't in good conscious see these super expensive things and think it's a good idea for me to buy. I'm happy I can recreate my version and in turn help give you guys ideas as well. Thank you again, so much!
@@AraceliChanDIY Same here. I grew up with all junk store furniture (what we now call thrift store) and I didn’t learn until I was an adult that it was all antiques. After my parents had both passed away I got the early 1900’s beautiful ornate buffet that you see many of the influencers strip and paint white. We always had a garden and thankfully so because I love my veggies. I feel blessed to be frugal and to have the talent of crafting and DIYs. I learned to sew in FHA (future homemakers of America) in school. I made all of my gowns for the dances and I still have a few of them. I made my dress for my husband and my renewal of our ten year wedding vows. I also then made my almost two year old son’s tuxedo. I admire people who still create with their own two hands. I watch more UA-cam videos about creating than I watch movies. It soothes my soul. Keep on doing what you do. You are great at it. Please know that you are loved and you are appreciated. 🥰😘❤️🙏🏼
So far this calendar year virtually everything I've tried to do has taken 2 to 5 attempts!! The nutcrackers are beyond anything. I sincerely hope you realize the sheer amount of talent you possess!
The gingerbread characters are so cute! Nice texture with the brown towel.Nutcracker from plastic glasses, wow. Who would have thought? Such creativity and with great result!GENIUS!!
