It's an IKEA table top with Kallax units on the side. You can see more here in this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3bYdqBpqpqmZtEsi=YJV4hlrtcM5fhdW9&t=359.

I don't believe I did. They are pretty sturdy, especially since I have plenty of heavy items on the bottom.

Please see this video which has more information about pressing flowers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on3KoZp6lN2NsLc. You can also press flowers other ways, which I wrote about here: www.firstdayofhome.com/how-to-press-flowers/. Silica gel won’t work well for this project because the flowers won’t be flat enough. I hope this helps!

Ha! That would’ve freaked me out! I can’t believe it stayed in there and was still alive. 😳

Thanks so much!

Aw, that's so kind. Thank you! Yes, I often think we can make things at a fraction of the price if we put our minds to it.

Thank you! God bless you too, my friend. Thanks for your kind comments.

Yes, the adjustable support module sits on the same surface as the rotary tool. In my example, they both sit on the honeycomb panel (inside the riser base). If you're using wooden risers instead, you'll have the rotary and support module sitting on the base plate. I hope this answers your question.

You're welcome! That's very kind. Glad you enjoyed it.

Woo hoo! I love hearing that! I hope you have a great time sculpting this week. :)

Not long. Just make sure the flowers don’t have dew on them. You can pat them dry.

@@FirstDayofHome okayy thank you soo much🩷

You don’t have to wait long. You’ll just want the flowers to not have dew on them.

@@FirstDayofHome today is day 4 so i just did it💕 thanks for the tutorial and i appreciate you taking the time to reply to me 🩷

You’re welcome! Good luck to you!

I hope you like it! I have detailed instructions on the blog if you need them. This video was made a while back, so it was short and sweet. 😊www.firstdayofhome.com/baked-pumpkin-empanada-recipe/

I didn’t have to do anything because the pieces are embedded in the grout. You could probably sand the edges a bit if you find they are very sharp. Using gloves helps when you’re handling the pieces before applying grout. I hope this helps!

Thanks so much! Here are the items you asked about: Cricut Machine Feet: amzn.to/3TyTQYi and Cricut Blade Storage Insert: amzn.to/4d8iRBN. I have all the items listed in the description box if you have any other questions.

I’m excited for you to complete your first project! 🙌🏼 Yes, a zigzag stitch can help prevent fraying. I do that often when I’m joining two edges without bias tape. You can also use a product called Fray Check to help prevent fraying.

@@FirstDayofHome thank you very much!

@@sarahluciakarmann6133 Any time! Best of luck to you, Sarah!

Thanks, Cindy!

Thanks! Those were so fun to make. I ended up making some large ones for my mantel too.

Sorry about that! I have two different sets of paint pens I like. Each set has different tips depending on what you’re looking for. amzn.to/3zUGKyp and amzn.to/3SdBmNr

Yeah, I didn't include the photo or mention it in the voiceover, but I put a footnote in the video that mentions it. (The closed captions might cover it up.) Thanks for highlighting this also!

That’s great! I wish I could grow lavender. I always struggle. Do you have any tips?

I use them as stickers in a journal and stickers to give to others, as shown at the end of the video. I make so many pressed flowers, I use them for all sorts of purposes and don’t consider them “ruined” no matter what I do. Feel free to use them however you like if this doesn’t appeal to you.

If the paddle is made of wood, yes it should let you engrave. It should be similar to the cutting board that I engraved. If the paddle is long, you can use the wooden risers instead of the riser base to fit the paddle underneath. I hope this helps!

@@FirstDayofHome how many inches can this do long

@@FirstDayofHome so I got a paddle I want to basically do stuff that is only around not more then 1 inch in height and max 14 across what is the cheapest x you recommend

@@SergeyKasimov The maximum cut size is 15″ wide × 12″ tall (385x300mm) for laser projects and 14″ wide × 12″ tall (365x300mm) for blade cutting. You might find it helpful to read my full review here: www.firstdayofhome.com/xtool-m1-review/. It has other xTool comparisons that might help you decide which machine is right for you. I also own the xTool P2 which can handle larger projects because it has a pass-through conveyor accessory sold separately. I hope this helps.

Thanks but where you get the wood

I’m glad you liked it! Thank you!

Thanks, Janet! I hope you enjoy making your little forest! 🌲❤️

Thanks, Jane! Yes, bring on the Christmas crafts!

Thank you! I’m so glad you liked them. ❤️🎄

Thanks so much! I agree it’s refreshing. I’m in Houston, so we know about heat here too. We also just had a hurricane go through and lost power for a while. I’m ready for winter!

Hi there! I'm so glad you're going to make these! I suggest watching the full tutorial since it has more details and includes instructions for both gnomes. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onrJiJ2Cqr12frssi=TNe_3cdTYP1OFg78. Enjoy!

I'm glad the video was helpful! The wooden risers sometimes come with the M1 bundle, but you can also buy them separately here (affiliate link): shrsl.com/4lrmb. I received mine as part of the M1 Deluxe package: shrsl.com/4lrmg. I hope this helps!

Yay! I’m so glad it helped!

You could definitely do that if you planned to use them immediately. It would just be challenging to prevent the tape from sticking to your table as well.

I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind comment, and good luck with your journey.

The photo transfer will look a little rustic with this method because the ink is transferring. Some paper residue may make the image look a little pale, but you can also paint a top coat of regular Mod Podge to brighten the image and seal it.

Yes, you can use Cricut aluminum sheets with infusible ink: amzn.to/3WdPt7V. Other metals may be hit or miss depending on the material, but these sheets will definitely work. I hope this helps!

This is the exact one I used (affiliate): amzn.to/3Ias13e. It’s 12x12 inches.

Mine doesn’t stink, but maybe it’s a personal preference. Perhaps the scent differs by brand, but I’ve never experienced a strange smell. My scrub smells like a combination of lavender and coconut oil.

@@FirstDayofHome I do think it’s the brand I have. I ordered a much better brand that had reviews mentioning its pleasant scent. Hopefully, this one will be much better.

@bfaytbf I hope it works out for you! I love using this scrub, especially with the relaxing lavender scent. Fingers crossed the next brand will be better.

@@FirstDayofHome thank you! Thanks for the video. You explained everything so simply & clearly. Love it!

@bfaytbf You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching, and enjoy your sugar scrub!

Oh no! Sorry that happened! Do you think you could use some paint to fix it? I sometimes use fine point paint markers to touch up small sections.

@@FirstDayofHome unfortunately as I'm only using text It wouldn't work, never even thought that leaving a few days would cause an issue ha ha I was making some coaters so need to re do 10

@blackwidow5105 I hope it works out for you! Sometimes it takes a few tries to get used to it. I’m sure others will learn from your experience too. Good luck to you!

Yes, they may have needed more time in the oven to dry out. You can also hang them to dry or just pop them back in the oven to dehydrate some more, especially if they have thick centers. Good luck!

Thank you

Any time!

Sorry to hear that! What does the error say?

It’s packing tape. Here is the full article: www.firstdayofhome.com/pressed-flower-stickers/

Thanks, Cecile! I’m glad you liked them. Here’s the trimmer I have. I use it all the time. It’s on sale right now for around $8, normally $22. amzn.to/3XF7c9j

@@FirstDayofHome thank you!

@btrflywmn Any time!❤️

I don’t worry about it in the oven because it’s not touching anything that will later come into contact with food. I use foil pans to recharge in the oven, and I only use those with silica gel. That said, you should only do it if you’re comfortable with the product. I always follow the manufacturer directions. The reason I don’t use the plastic for food afterwards is because the plastic can absorb pesticides that might be in some flowers if you buy them in a store.

Thank you! I love that you can store them and use them again each year.
