I find it easier to pound in the pvc, if you cut the bottom at a 45 degree angle instead of straight across. The sharper point make pounding it in easier.
You can also get a couple of pieces of rebar and drive those in the ground. Place the pvc over them, and you have more stability. Angle the rebar out slightly so that when you slide the pvc over it, it will grip the pipe.
@@Lady_of_Ishpeming exactly what I was thinking. Esp. if you live where it snows and you get blizzards. You never know when one of those will be. And this would be great for a Summer flower trellis also. 😊
Great ideas! Looks gorgeous and I love the narrator's voice, so calm and easy listening, and the little added enthusiasm makes it sound like he really enjoys doing this! Reminds me of Mr Rogers!
If you hold the screen @ 2x playback you get an idea of what he’s talking about until you realize it’s a waste of time and if you end up watching it all the still saved 4.5 minutes😅
You don't have to copy these people exactly. You can take a way ideas to create your own version. I decided to add rebar to hold the outside one up better and also use it in Summer for a flower trellis or archway.
The indoor arch way was pretty cool. It looks like if you want to make it taller you wouldn't need to use the full circle. Prop up on something and wrap them like presents. Then do another bow on the bottom where it can hold it into place as well.
I've been doing this for a couple of years now - it's really fun! I've made a gingerbread house, two sets of gifts, and this year I just finished making an igloo for my penguin. Wish I could share pictures - they all look really awesome!
Hi there. Hey i want to encourage you to make several channels. Make a news channel and a story time channel. Just read and pretty much anything and make long videos. You can make clips of the longer vids for shorts to gain followers but.. your voice has a certian smoothness that many people would be happy to listen to. Doesnt matter really what you read or say, people will listen because your voice for whatever reason is soothing loke the older radio ahow host that many people would listen to and fall asleep at the sound of the radio show host soothing voice.
Grow ya a mustache and your finally ready to cruise neighborhoods in your panel van and lure the unsuspecting to see the inside of that van with creepy monotone voice!
Being a landscaper, i watched him put that first arch together, and immediately thought if I was doing it o would use 45 degree elbows instead of 90's so it's more 'archy'. And I won't have the sag in it in the top middle of the arch. It just takes a little planning. I would recommend laying out the design on the ground so you get the measurements right. If you de-burr the pvc ends, the pipes will go together easier and 'seat' better as well. I like his ideas, I will try them next year, with a few upgrades.
These 2 ideas are giving me ideas. And pipe cleaners are cheaper than zip ties. (tho I wish I'd bought stock in the company...lol) And easier to remove when you want or need to.
Her house is so beautiful!! I would've done that technique with the garland on the columns instead of an arch. That carpet would be a trip hazard and the arch would need to be raised for taller people.
I would have just figured out a way to attach it to the house..... Would have looked much smoother. But, he gave nice ideas and he did a nice job for the effort. :) I agree though...arches might have been a bit nicer.
@@colleenfraserdoggiekisses, Please forgive my ignorance... How do you bend the rebar & how would you connect the pieces together, if you're not a welder?
Thanks for sharing. RGBIC is a great innovation. I have one of those. I hope the design will improve, eventually, and those strips will be thinner or without the black (or white in my case) backing that makes it a bit thicker than the older RGB strips that are much thinner.
Can’t find spay paint :( J/k! The arch was very nice, I would of tried to cut the button, and lift the arch about 2 ft. Maybe some lights in there as well. Great idea.
I feel the arch would look better if it was taller and didn't circle around to the ground. Just leave it straight down the side columns. As it is it looks like a Hobbit door. 😊
Lol I love how the family collectively said Nice work Dad, but... We'll take it from here. And did it better😂😂😂 Love it It was a much needed improvement
Interesting idea... I might make some substitutions, though if I was going to make this. I would use black zip ties to scure the garland to the poles, and use a more Christmassy-colored plaid or fabric for the bow. You can also get large pre-made bows as well as the stiffly-formed big red ones that hold their shape and are made for outdoor use (won't get out of shape or wilt from wind or rain, all under $10 at Walmart, there is even one for outdoors with embedded LED lights for $7.99). I would also probably use a less in-your-face string of lights, like the strings of 100 either white or multicolored Christmas tree lights you can get very cheaply at someplace like Walmart (for instance, strings of 100 lights for $4.84). The ones I bought are still going strong after years of use.
The first one got better once it got wrapped around the like the garland. To each their own, but I will never really like rope lights. They look kinda okay when on but so tacky and out of place when off.
DINING TABLE LOOKS ELEGANT, YOUR HOME IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT, THAT ARCH IS NOT FOR INDOORS.. MAYBE PUT A GARLAND N MISTLETOE INSTEAD.. THAT ARCH IS TOO LOW, EVERYONE IS GONNA HAVE TO DUCK LOW , OR TEASE YOU AND ACT IF THEY ARE PLAYING THE LIMBO..
When Aunt Susie come for dinner in her electric wheelchair its gonna come tumbling down on that elegant table and might flip Aunt Susie and her wheelchair over. For Real, that's very dangerous.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️. I love this idea. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🎄⛄🎋🎍 Not a fan of the indoor arch . It's a trip hazard. Decorating the doorway would have been better...just my opinion. The first one was absolutely beautiful.
Skip the elbows and just arch the PVC over the sidewalk; use a heat gun to soften the PVC if needed. Skip the garland too and using painters tape to paint as candy canes. Less tacky and a bit more festive.
The indoor arch turned out pretty but it appears to be quite short. I am imaging many friends and family would be crouching very low to get through. Concerned about the tripping potential as well.
They are both so beautiful, I enjoyed watching them both set up the decorations. I like the indoor arch very much, I probably would have added white lights for ambiance and maybe turn the lights down at the table. It’s beautifully done! Have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Yes PVC pipe cracks when hit by a hammer. Any tube, short of thick metal, will crack, bend, snap or be crushed when hit by a hammer. To help “prevent” this from happening simply place a piece of wood, a 2X4 or 1/2” plywood for example, on the top of the PVC pipe. Now hammer the wood not the pipe. It’s that simple
We did this for several years to make it more stable we hammered rebar down the center of the pipes about a foot or so in the ground. That did the trick. It didn’t move.
Great, more landfill plastic for a cheap decoration you’ll use once and make another next year. How about give your kids/grandkids the gift of a future 🌎
What would add to the indoor decor is hanging some shiny balls from the dining room chandelier at different heights with ribbon. If you have any more greenery, you could put it around the top of the chandelier with another of your plaid bows.

Pretty arch, but needs to be high so you don’t have to duck down to walk through, great idea, and good job.

If anyone is interested in making the 1st arch should remember that they make GREEN zip ties.
I don't think you'd notice in the dark...and during the day the majority of people are at work 😉😂
@@shawnspringall but then again, perfectionists (like me)
Really nice. Thanks for the video!
It's like this. Not my style, but if my hubby even halfway attempted doing this for Christmas, I'd be thrilled!!😮
Both of you are so cute with your dedication and spirit. Thanks for sharing.
The second archway is a wonderful idea but I will use green tape or spray paint the arch green to help hide the white more. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea. Yes, family did right by wrapping lights -- gives it finished look. Thanks!
I've been doing this for a couple of years now - it's really fun! I've made a gingerbread house, two sets of gifts, and this year I just finished making an igloo for my penguin. Wish I could share pictures - they all look really awesome!
You should do a video on them! People would love it
I love this idea
I’d def put it outside and over my door
You can also spray paint the zip ties to hide them in the garland.
This video brought to you by the ghost of Bob Ross. Those are happy PVC’s!
I love this! 👍👍
👍👍 🥰 🐾
Love the arch idea into the dinning room. It's like entering a fantasy christmas dinner 😊
Yes much better. Good job family

Your voice is so soothing! Bob Ross Vibes
Not really
The same cadence and use of soft voice as Bob Ross.
Happy trees. 😄
Very beautiful !!! Indoor arch for me is too low !! Needs to be closer to door height.
Her house is so beautiful!! I would've done that technique with the garland on the columns instead of an arch. That carpet would be a trip hazard and the arch would need to be raised for taller people.
I agree! It would be lovely from top to bottom.
Thanks for sharing - good ideas for sure
Thanks for watching!
Very pretty. Thank you.. where did you purchase your table and chairs. I love them
Clever and Creative
It's easier to use rebar vs. pvc in the ground. Also, if you use rebar, then you will have a U-shaped arch vs. square and don't need the elbows.
We used rebar to build an arch that sits in front of the doorway that gets decorated for each holiday.
They got sticks of one inch pvc you can flex into an arch.
Drive 2 steaks in the ground and slide the pipe over the steak.
I would have just figured out a way to attach it to the house..... Would have looked much smoother. But, he gave nice ideas and he did a nice job for the effort. :)

@@colleenfraserdoggiekisses, Please forgive my ignorance... How do you bend the rebar & how would you connect the pieces together, if you're not a welder?

Yes Christmas.
Good taste with simplicity ....👌 Happy Holidays ....... MERRY X'MAS 🎄

You can also use PVC with a shop vac to vacuum your gutters
Very nice job

green zip ties
It's pretty for sure, but would need to be at least 7 ft tall at my house. I have tall Grandson's.
Tension Rods are great for doorways.
If you have very hard ground like here in Texas you can drive in rebar and place the PVC over the rebar.
Yes, rope light looked tacky, until it was wrapped around pvc.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️. I love this idea. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🎄⛄🎋🎍 Not a fan of the indoor arch . It's a trip hazard. Decorating the doorway would have been better...just my opinion. The first one was absolutely beautiful.
YOU ARE VERY RIGHT.
how to do those light like flow
Love it
This guy sounds like he could be a character on Family guy 😂
My husband would be so ticked if I did that arch in the house! He is 6' 5" If he made it under he would probably trip on the bottom!
Don’t worry, us tall guys get used to hitting our heads on stuff around Christmas time 😂
Use black zip ties to last better in sunlight
Where can I buy the rope light? Please post a link.
Anywhere that doesn’t have taste and sells tacky items.
Instead of zip ties you can get green wire ties in the garden section of the big box home improvement stores.
Skip the elbows and just arch the PVC over the sidewalk; use a heat gun to soften the PVC if needed. Skip the garland too and using painters tape to paint as candy canes. Less tacky and a bit more festive.
Where did the lady get that full circle "arch"? I'd be sooo tempted to cut it in half, and make two!
Way to go dad. Kids always rule 😂Well sometimes 🧐
The indoor arch turned out pretty but it appears to be quite short. I am imaging many friends and family would be crouching very low to get through. Concerned about the tripping potential as well.
Ha ha. I can just imagine. 😊
🎉🎉It's Beautiful I love it 🎉🎉🎉
I like the first arch. It just needs a crafty woman’s touch. 😊 The second arch is nice but not tall enough.
Basic idea is solid but definitely could use some tweaking. I’d be embarrassed to put it on UA-cam
They are both so beautiful, I enjoyed watching them both set up the decorations. I like the indoor arch very much, I probably would have added white lights for ambiance and maybe turn the lights down at the table. It’s beautifully done! Have a Merry Christmas 🎄
I like ponding in the ground 😅

What the name of those lights
Yes PVC pipe cracks when hit by a hammer. Any tube, short of thick metal, will crack, bend, snap or be crushed when hit by a hammer.
To help “prevent” this from happening simply place a piece of wood, a 2X4 or 1/2” plywood for example, on the top of the PVC pipe. Now hammer the wood not the pipe.
It’s that simple
So beautiful ❤
Now I think you just hit the jackpot with this..Good going!!+ Love Hugs and a Merry Christmas Barbie 🤶 🎄 😊
Where did you buy that rope light from?
Gorgeous ❤
Lol his family redid it. It looked better too. Thanks fam🤶🎅sorry dad. I thought u did a great job for a guy.
Beautiful . ♥️🎄
Christmas
We did this for several years to make it more stable we hammered rebar down the center of the pipes about a foot or so in the ground. That did the trick. It didn’t move.
I would use a real archway for the second and make it taller. The circle is making me feel like I have to bend down and I'm 5'1".
would be helpful to
show the end result at the beginning
Great, more landfill plastic for a cheap decoration you’ll use once and make another next year. How about give your kids/grandkids the gift of a future 🌎
I would like to know more on how to make that beautiful bow
What would add to the indoor decor is hanging some shiny balls from the dining room chandelier at different heights with ribbon. If you have any more greenery, you could put it around the top of the chandelier with another of your plaid bows.
Good idea...but the finished product looks tacky....but nice try🤔
Anyone else more interested in that GINORMOUS tree she has in her living room??? Lol
Great idea for the archway, but I'd go some conduit to bend easier.
That lady made a nice archway, but she must not have cats..
Hmmmm, how do you store it. Never mind.
What do you cut the pipe with?
