Hey, love the bench ❤
.. the lamp is maybe not quite there. Maybe sand it a bit, so it gets a bit smoother surface and doesn’t look so much like a diy?
Love your videos 🤗
Just an FYI for future projects. I know celluclay (sp) is great, I've used it. It's great but expensive. Next time break up paper egg cartons ( made from the same stuff as celluclay ) soak it in a bowl or bucket with hot water till soft, takes only a minute or so, use immersion blender to mix till a good smooth consistency to work with. Smoosh out any extra water with a towel lined colander. You can add bleach during the soaking process if you want it lighter. I also add a little white glue because I like it a bit sticky for applying on slick surfaces. Can be stored for quite awhile in an airtight container too. You'll save lots of money!😊
Yes this!! We did this for 4H and it works so well. and you can egg cartons for free by asking in your local FB group. people have tons they are trying to get rid of.
Great idea! I was trying to think of a substitute, and the egg cartons are fabulous!! Thank you!!
The thing about the bench though, the sides are slatted too, I think that looks nicer. This is like a whole chunk on the sides. Which is fine but IMO the original looks nicer because of that detail. If I’m not wrong, Tina Le had done some kind of variation on this bench (similar) for an entry way some time ago
I came to look for this comment! I wish the sides were slatted so much. This method would've used less wood and make it lighter as well!
It wouldn't be hard to adapt this basic pattern to slated sides. It would be lighter, too.
I feel like the pendant should be a little bit more asymmetrical because it still looks like an army helmet to me. Also would a thin layer of drywall atop of the paper work for the texture. Love the bench immensely.
I actually think that she could have shaped it a little more asymmetric when it was still wet. The bump was actually making it better.
The bench turned out really nice. The light pendant looking like the blob you didn't want it to look like. 😆
I feel like people either love it or hate it lol 😅
@@TheSorryGirlsit just needed a little sanding
Definitely a first 24 hour girlie here, always watch your videos the day they come out.
Apologies for the corniness, but I must share- I have been watching your content for 7 (going on 8)years and the content just keeps on getting better and better. I’ll be straight up honest…there isn’t a video of yours I haven’t liked and enjoyed. And I learn something new every single video, often about things I didn’t even know existed. I am truly grateful to every company who sponsors your team’s hard work and the investors who have invested in you all. Thanks for being an amazing source of education, sustainability, and new skills to acquire. Very grateful for you all. ❤
🩷🩷🩷 This is too sweet! Thank you for your support over the years, I truly means the world to us 🩷🩷🩷
Unfortunately I agree with this. Once in a while this comes on. I only mean they do other amazing stuff so they have raised the bar high themselves. Didn’t enjoy this either
Me too! ❤ Who needs television when you ve got the sorry Girls, MaCenna & Lonefox on UA-cam 🎉
@@Jj85741 I said I do enjoy this and very much so, even wrote a gratitude paragraph. How did you interpret that to mean I didn’t enjoy it? Just curious.
@@lenapi9234 exactly!!!
I'm torn between regret that I can't watch the full make-over right now & utter delight that I'm invited into the 24 hour crew :D
same!!!
yes, same!!!
I'm sorry but the light is not it. The bench turned out cute though
This bench DIY would be so good for an outdoor patio bench! Could maybe even make a lounge chair with it? I'd love to see more simple wood working tutorials! Especially with spring approaching 👀
check out our how to go do series, Rochelle is a wood-working master!
I'm going to trust the process and wait for the reveal before passing judgment on the pendant lamp.
Let's normalize the difference of opinions when it comes to design. Personally, I really like the bench & think it'll be a great addition to the apartment makeover. The lamp shade not so much. Even for the DIY price, I think that's way touch to spend on it. But, design is subjective, so if others like it, that's awesome. I hope Nina loves all her DIY pieces & her apartment makeover in general.
Ps....I am a 24 hour TSG viewer. Been watching this channel for many years. I enjoy everything, even if it's my style preference. Doesn't matter.
I am always fascinated by why those slat benches are so expensive. They are pretty but they are so simple. Yours turned out perfect. It looks just as high end as the pictures.
I love the cloud lamp. When it comes to drying, let it dry between layers. Moisture can get trapped and it can cause mold to form. Then let it dry for like a week at least so it can shrink. Glue and water don’t have enough preservative to avoid mold.
Pendant shade - Maybe chicken wire, polyfil, paper mache? Or just multi layers of paper mache? Not sure paper mache would stick/stay stuck to polyfil lol I love chicken wire. Thin enough to mold, but generally holds its shape. Edit: Still thinking about it (lol) ... actually could still use the bubble wrap over the chicken wire, then paper mache
I’m a big fan of the light. I know a lot of people in the comments aren’t a fan but personally I love it.
The pendant looks like a hornet nest 😂
Thank you for solving so many problems of the build for us, Kelsey! I agree with someone else in the comments that chicken wire might be an easier solution for creating the form of the lamp, but you didn't have to go out to buy that. Also, one could use two blocks between the 2x4 legs instead of a whole piece of thin wood going from top to bottom - just a thought. Overall, I thought they were two great projects, and as I mentioned, you solved all of the big problems. Thank you!!!
I LOVE TUESDAY'S FOR THIS REASON...NEW SG VIDEOS 🤍
Sorry, I usually love your diy but that pendant is hideous 😅 the bench is good though
Seems like you didn’t get the point of wabi sabi🙏🏽
the thumbnail is giving “you vs the guy she told you not to worry about”
I agree to be honest and the proper one it was compared too looks sooo much better
@@shikmalagbas9721design is subjective. People can think things are hideous same as others can love them
The texture might be right, but the shape isn't. If you notice the shape is precise in the original, and the texture is grainy. In the copy, the shape and the texture are wobbly, thats why it doesn't look as good.
Tutorial aside, love the combination of video & stop motion you did with the slatted bench pieces.
love the bench .... I am wondering if sanding the light fixture would be helpful
I really love the bench. I want to give it a try, it will be my first big woodworking project. Also have to wait to see the full makeover. I watch the episodes as they come out and I am hooked.
I really would love to see the inside of the pendant painted a fun colour! Light blue 👌
I was thinking a metallic gold/bronze/copper inside with those old style orangey Edison bulbs
Great idea! The would look stunning
Personally I think the pendant needed a serious sand and a thinner lip around the bottom edge for it to look a little more refined. Love the idea though. I wonder if you could do it cheaper by blending newspaper to create a pulp and using that instead of the celluclay.
YES! Loooovee this series! That bench came out SOSOSOOO good!
Greetings from Brasil 👋🏼 Been along for the tsg ride for years on years now! Love how down to earth and real y’alls videos are 😍
Not only am I a 24-hour-crew-girlie, but I am also a girlie who keep checking back throughout the week blissfully unaware of when the next video will come out and hoping it is ... now. Or.... NOW! ;)
I am interested in seeing the final makeover. Love the bench!
24 Hour Crew - Present !! Love all your videos and have been watching for the past 3 years but went waaaayyyy back to the beginning and watched all of them. Keep up the great work girls and again I love all the series you all have come out with.
That is awesome!
Love, love, love that bench! I've been looking for one like it. I will be making one in the near future! ❤
Yay! Thank you!
All aboard the 24 hour train!!!! I look forward to y'all's videos!!! Yall make me feel like i can tackle any project!!!
ofc this is my tuesday thing to watch after dinner every week!
When it’s you guys I watch the video in the next 24h ! Always so good 😍
Hi yall,
I need consistency for my mental health and as we know life especially for adults doesn't often offer that. Thank you @Sorrygirls for being a constant. At the end of everything said and done whether the week is a flop or success this community of people feel inspired watching strong independent woman DIY, and learn, and grow. Thank you @Sorrygirls for additionally (at times) helping underprivileged schools, young mother support centers, start up motels, appartment owners, home owners etc with free physical labor. It's a blessing to those communities you are serving and to all of us viewers communities as you leave us all with creative ( and cost effective like today's video) ideas on how we can make bettering our society, and our Sacred places such as our homes and our jobs more attainable.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've been watching The Sorry Girls almost from the beginning. You have perfectly expressed how I feel about these young women. I'm inordinately proud of them for being fearless, compassionate, and sustainable.
The lamp is hideous the bench looks fab
Pendant is not my taste, but I am sure there are things I just LOVE that others would say is hideous...so there's that.
yes! Maybe sanding a bit the lamp to smooth it out would look better
@@aimeecreative Or we can say whatever we want! All opinions are valid. ✨Have a nice day ✨
@@jujubees hahaha I’m just trying to get everyone to be a bit nicer unlike your passive aggressive ass 😂
@@jujubees this is why I don’t even engage with comments have a nice day 🙃🤣
Would have been nice to have a little diagram next to Kelsey as she was explaining how the lamp clamp thing worked, and also when putting the bench together as they were both things that were difficult to understand with words alone.
Great projects, looking forward to the full make over :)
Fantastic!!!! Soo excited to see the makeover.
I'm excited that you're excited to see the makeover 🥳
There's nothing like joining the 24-hour crew for a change, lol!!! Im sat here watching in bed, whilst eating sushi. Now that's what i called a great night in.
Whilst the pendant isn't my style (im more of a moody vintage, kinda girl... think XOMaCenna) i can appreciate the process and your diy skills. The bench, however, i really love
Much love from London, England ❤️🍁❤
If you want stain to be more even and don’t have primer on hand, I usually just wet the wood first. Wetting the wood allows the wood to “even out” in dryness, that way you don’t have patches that absorb more stain than others (this also means you can do lighter coats of stain to achieve a specific tone). Apply the stain over the wood once it seems like it’s evenly wet. After the final coat of stain, let the wood fully dry and then do a very light sand before applying a clear coat.
Bench: A+ Pendant light: B-
It isn't a style I like, but I can still see the appeal for some spaces. I think it was a bit too thick and should have been sanded, but I appreciate the tutorial on that technique.
I will be making these two DIYs for my house, thank you for the inspiration 🤍
send pics of the final diys to our discord!
That bench is awesome!!!Can’t wait to see Nina’s makeover🥰🥰🥰
It's gonna be a good one 👀👀👀
24 hour crew! Woot woot! Loved both DIYs, can wait to see the makeover video!
Good to see that you rip the paper (and follow the paper fibers' direction) - This makes the paper lay more smooth with less sharp edges AND it is a lot easier than cutting with scissors :) You can make your own paper-mache glue - needs help not to mold though... For the texture I would probably keep the papermache as is and then paint with natron/ baking soda paint.
I definitely watch your videos in under 24 hours! You’re my #1 🫶🏼
It's giving chique flintstones home and I love it.
I actually love the light❤️
I love that bench so much I might make it❤ I love your videos ❤
do it and send pics in our discord!
I never throw bubble wrap away=) I reuse it and like I have some oooold bubble wrap for moving and such! But so fun to pop🎉
Tuesdays are TSG days!! Love the Ana White reference. I have made lots from her designs. I love women making design / diy / woodworking accessible.
thanks! we love it too!
24 hour crew! Love these, amazing job
When doing paper mache I use aluminum foil as my base. Then I cover it completely in masking tape....then paper towel....and I use water and elmers glue also. Aluminum foil is very easy to shape and when packed it's quite sturdy. I have pieces I made years ago that's still going strong today!
the popcorn ceilings really brings it together
In my opinion diy isn't just about getting things for cheaper sometimes i do diys that end up costing about the same as the original piece but i enjoy creating it☺️
Love the bench diy 💕 look like a perfect first project for beginner wood work 🤓👍✨
first 24h, from across the atlantic! It's been a pleasure all these years!
24 hour crew! Y’all are so inspiring!
I love yet hate being in the 24-hour crew! Guess I have to wait for the full video 😢😂!
I LOVE THE BENCH!! 😍 Thinking about convincing my hubs to help me make one 🥰
Excited to see the pieces in the space. Sometimes the right environment can make something that’s not exactly right still look good. A for effort on that lamp definitely, maybe a big yoga ball would’ve been better for the mold to create a more even shape?
When you see it in the space next week you’re jaw will be on the floor 😱
I quite like the shade, but i think the glass-look lightbulb would look much cuter. It is giving space rock, like a meteor
Bless you for making a paper mache light... I took Rachael's organic shaped frame DIY and turned it into a coffee table DIY for myself and it went pretty alright! Just took forever 😆 next, I was considering a matching faux concrete light fixture to hang above it and make the paper mache more purposeful. I didn't want to do the balloon method but rather get textured tape and use an existing thrifted fixture. But this DIY might still help to guide me a bit.
Kind of glad I didn't go the "wabi sabi" route... it's a bit chunky 😆 I suggest watered down craft concrete for anyone wanting a similar look. It made my coffee table fairly smooth and flat(ish) but still look like rock.
not sure how well it would work for shaping, but instead of a balloon, a big plastic/trash bag that you (temp) fill up with w/e (more paper, plastic, "trash") and then can do your paper mache over that? afterwards, you can just open the trash bag, grab things out and then also remove the trash bag to reuse it for other projects.
I've also seen beach balls that you just normal deflate and pull out to reuse
@@yankeebunny2007 oh that's such a good idea too! also lets you have smoother insides like the balloon did.
The wood bench is beautiful, I kinda want to try to make it 😊
You can do it! Make sure to send us a pic on insta when you do it! We love to see our DIY's recreated
LOVE THESE
Woo 24 hour crew! 🎉 Can't wait to see Nina's apartment make over!!
I would love to see you DIY a low Zig Zag Shelves by Burke Decor. They are so beautiful but shouldn't cost $$$. I love the designer DIY series.
thanks for the suggestion! will check it out!
Awesome makeover. One of my children love this style of lighting. The cost made my eyes cross. Looks like I may be doing a DYI.
You can do it!
LUV UR VIDS!!
Oh my god Nina's reaction... eagerly waiting for next week!!!
For sure a 24hour gal. Always here to watch it and enjoy it! loved the pendant light and might try to diy it for my own bedroom
Please do!
What is this 24hr thing everyones talking about?
Love the bench! I wonder if the lamp could be made out of vermiculite cement (hypertufa)?
Love the bench
Id love to see you "retry" (fix it, not fully redo) the light. I feel like it had potential, maybe just because it needs sanded?
That bench is Gorgeous 😮 wood is so expensive here but I might need to go and price out some lumbar for this! But a couch version
I think you aced both projects ❤️ I personally love the Organic Modern style so totally relate the look you were trying to achieve so yes you nailed it. I think some people who don’t particularly care for the style or understand the aesthetic will not like the end result regardless of how appropriate it is. Just saying you did really well!
I need to re-do that pendant😍
I have been thinking of ways to DIY this light. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
❤loved it.
Oooo I'm excited !!
OMG I wanted to make that light and I couldn't figure it out!!! THank you so much!
so fun and easy to make! send pics of the final to our discord when you make it!
i think plaster or cement would make a better one.
@@shevahauser1780 Agreed! I was thinking of adding these plaster soaked linen pieces that people use for landscape modeling on top of the paper maché instead of the liquid paper maché.
I wait the whole week to see your videos!! Loved when you used to upload 2 a week haha
Yes, I try to watch on the first day but sometimes things just don't work out. However, I managed to watch this one at about the 17hr mark😁. I sorta like the pendant but I'm still on the fence. The bench is bonza though👍. I'd like to have a go at making one of those.
That pendant is gorgeous!! Truly wabi sabi aesthetic 😻 excited for the full makeover
Coming soon!
Really? wwhhhahahaaa!!!!!!
Usually 24 but sometimes 48hr girl here 😄 LOVE the bench! I’m inspired to give one a go for my outdoor patio! Light isn’t my vibe but cool DIY regardless 👍
Love both Wabi Sabi and That Cost How Much?! amazing video
Thanks so much! We love it too!
Love how you mentioned you learned your wood cutting tip from Rochelle and the camera proceeds to pan over the end of the 2 x4 and there is an r on the end
For future DIY wood age accelerator, set a couple pads of steel wool in container of white vinegar. When steel rusts and dissolves it's ready to stir and use to naturally age wood for much cheaper. 👍
Love your take on Wabi Sabi, excited to see the make over.😻
Thanks for the idea!
24 hours club! Greatings from the other side of the world from Buenos Aires Argentina!!!!
Welcome 🩷
I love the pendent! I feel like if the picture of it that you guys used in the video was a little more softly lit (like the product one) no one would dislike it!
A good photo edit can really transform the finals 😅😊🥰
24 hour crew mate checking in 🤩 hehe. i look forward to your videos each week. thanks for being such an inspirational team!
Yeah great job
Like the method, might sanding be able to soften the shape, as I would like to try.
That’s a good suggestion, if people don’t like the textured look! I think it just adds to the imperfect wabi sabi vibe
I love your DIY projects. I have a recommendation for your next light shade project. Try making the paper mache out of white tissue paper because it will let more light through it.
While I appreciate wabi sabi for what it is, I'm not a fan of the design. I think Kelsey did somewhat okay on DIY'ing a replica. I find it looks a little... bulky, maybe? That bench, though, is chef's kiss! I absolutely love it!
Wow, I’m in the 24 hour crew. Amazing!
I'm one of your subscribers who view asap. Love your content!
Watch within min ... not more then hour ... love from India. Been here since beginning
Hi it's my first time seeing your video's i like the bench that you made
The pendant light is….. hilarious.
Love both the bench and pendant! I am absolutely going to make one of my own!!
