Thank you so much! I hope you and your family have a blessed and happy Christmas!

@@HomeCulture And to you as well💓

I made them just using the shapes option on the left hand side! I used a circle and a rectangle with the rounded corner. When I made a size/design that I liked, I welded the shapes together and cut in different sizes for the bells. Hope this helps!

I'd love to know! I only know that this particular trunk made it's trip from England to Canada.

Thanks so much! 😊 The whole year, my home is decorated with simple and neutral ideas, but at Christmas it's fun to go a bit 'extra'! Have you been hit by the uncharacteristic snowfall? We're shocked that England/France has significantly more snow than us! And so early in the season! Stay warm!

@@HomeCulture Yes we did get some snow but although it seemed a lot, it soon got washed away by the rain. We don’t get nearly as much snow as you get in Canada. x

The company that makes SnoFlock just reached out to me - they saw this video and are sending me some of their product to try. That video should be out in a couple of weeks! The SnoFlock is now available on the Canadian Amazon website. Whatever you try, I would start with a light spray of any flat white spray paint - it helps other products stick better than just to the plastic needles. After that, I agree with you popcorn spray is the best option. All flocking products shed and are messy - even the ones from the store. And the popcorn spray didn't seem messier than store bought trees. Happy DIY-ing

Oh Liane, thank you! I love that you recognized my tree painting! I don't know if KZbin will allow me upload an image, but I'll try! I used my Cricut for that shape it's just a circle on top of a rectangle that had corners rounded. So if you traced the bottom of a popsicle stick and a quarter for the top - you'd get the same shape! Silly right?? But that's all it is. Even though it's so basic, I couldn't paint that on the bell! And yes, I love spray painting so much! I had to pick something up at Home Depot this morning and they had a bunch of cans on clearance. So I bought 3!!! Christmas presents for me! 🎄

Why would you do that

If you can find a stain or stain pen that is a similar colour to the bureau, clean the damaged area gently and dab on the stain. If the surface is rough, you might need to sand super super lightly before adding the stain. If you can find a bottle of Restore-A-Finish in matching colour to your bureau, that might do the trick too. Good luck!

My first thought would be to try hairspray to remove the marker - it works on pens.

Mags, that's such a nice compliment! Professional! Thank you! (my heart is melting!)

Heidi, I've been wanting to get little white houses to add to my Christmas decor! It's on my wish list. Adding the fairy lights sounds so festive! Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season as well!

Thank you so much 😀You are just so sweet Pamela!

Hello Mags! Thank you! That is exactly what Ralph said - he like the bottles too when I put the stickers on - he thought that was the finished product. It's definitely a good option and would make the project even easier. Cheers!

You're welcome!

Funny enough, I use those scissors so much! Probably the most of all of the 4 tools! 😆

That’s good. Maybe there’s a use I’m missing. Not for box cutting plastic packages though.

Thank you! I love hearing that you like this!

Thank you so much Liane!!

Glad to hear that! Thank you!

What a funny story! I can't believe they returned the snow flock. This is why I love KZbin so much - we all get ideas from each other and then add to them! I kinda think stucco powder might work, that spray I used is pretty similar, but it can only be used on interior walls. If you try stucco powder, let me know how it works! I think it's so cool that you are watching my video in Mexico! Thank you for the great comment!

You're so welcome!

Yes! Just today I went out shopping for cheap flat white spray - it surprised me how good just white paint looks!

Thank you! Your comment reads like poetry! Love it - thank you!

Thank you! These will be fun to wear this Christmas!

Thank you Mags! I think these will be fun to wear during the holidays! I've been busy covered in all manner of Christmas over here, some how the autumn is always the busiest time of year for me. But it means videos are on their way 😊

Thank you! That is an ambitious project - so many shirts! I love that you had family pictures taken with them ❤ That's a great memory. The thought you put into it is pure love! ❤

Thank you! It's been an oddly warm October here, making it a harder to get into the 'holiday mode' while making the videos. I'm going to wear the grey shirt once and see how I feel about it - I then might take on one of your ideas 😊 Thank you and enjoy the last bits of pumpkin season!

That's too bad - I hope you ended up finding something that works for you. I'm still loving ours, thankfully. But I have yet to find the right pillow.

Thank you! A friend of mine was just refinishing one and we went on the hunt for leather handles this time! It's great that these trunks are standing the test of time - they just have such a classic enduring design. Even 100 years on and we still are making sure they live on another 100 years!

Thank you so much! My dupe is still on display in my house! It was worth the effort (not worth the store price!)

Thank you!! I see what you mean about the bow!

Thank you! That's so kind of you to say! 😊

Yes of course! Here it is: a.co/d/c8bxVyA It's still working great for me!

Thank you Liane! Time is just flying buy - it's already time to start thinking about Christmas!! 🎄Enjoy your weekend as well, it's been beautiful all weekend here!!

Thank you Mags! The cling film idea is so simple and so genius at the same time - even though it wasn't my idea, I had to share it. Placard - perhaps it's a regional to us here. It's used like plaque, but plaque usually references a commemoration of sorts. Placard is more basic, like just a sign somewhere. But it much more fun to say! I hope you're showing off your skills in your craft class! You must be the best there! 😊

Thank you! It like how it looks mixing up real pumpkins with DIY ones. A bit more interesting decor for the porch! 😊

I love the idea of orange buffalo check!!! Thank you!

I use a 'gum eraser' on my suede. It's not really an eraser - it's a piece of rubber that you rub on the suede. Acetone is so strong and damaging, I don't know how much you can fix. I also hear a tiny amount of vinegar on a cloth can help. I haven't tried this but you for sure don't want to get it too wet because that will cause more damage. If you search 'suede gum eraser' you can find something that might help. I bought mine at a shoe store.

Thank you! Painting the trunk black was not only an easy solution it also make it look like an expensive antique! I could easy pry the handle hardware off my trunk without damaging it. I was careful and they came right off. If you can remove yours then you can replace the hardware and the leather. That's my plan on my next trunk. I didn't bother fixing my broken lock because I'm never going to actually lock it. And I would be scared that it would break again and be locked forever with my stuff inside! But you can buy replacement locks if you needed to secure it for any reason. For me, it's a 'feature' I wouldn't use so I left it original. Good luck and have fun refinishing your trunk!

Thank you so much! It's comical the amount of bloopers I make trying to get the video right!

I did worry about that, but the flap doesn't get in the way at all. I just hang up the hangers like normal --- but --- this shelf is higher up and I have to extend my hand up to hang the hanger, so it work. But if this was a lower shelf - like when you do two rows of shelving (pants and shirts, that sort of idea) it would definitely get in the way. I actually practiced with hangers when I was in the process of making my 'prototype' to make sure it would be practical. Very observant! Great question!

Thank you! Pumpkin soup is good and I make butternut squash soup often too. But pumpkin pie is so so good! One of my 'signature pies' is pumpkin pecan pie. So the base is traditional pumpkin pie and then topped with a layer of pecan pie filling. Absolutely delicious and very traditional for us here! Driving around you can see pumpkins for sale everywhere, we do love our pumpkins! (I actually nicknamed our niece 'Pumpkin'!) XOXO

An adhesive canvas is a brilliant idea! Thank you!!

Thank you! My sister uses this desk every day and the paint job has held up for over a year 😊

Thank you so much! It's fun to be creative and see what we can do with dollar store buys 😊

I agree, and wifi is getting much faster. But with the ethernet cable I can now upgrade to 10 GbE for video editing Thanks for your comment!

Thank you! White Christmas is beautiful! I like to do white, silver and then greenery. So good to hear that those you know are alright, sadly the storms just won't give up. We are praying for sunny days and clear skies for you all down south 🙏🌞 I have been following the news and it is so shocking! We've been through a couple house floods and we understand the heartbreak and loads of work that goes into the clean up and repair. We eventually moved and haven't flood since.

Aww thank you!! Dark walnut would be so classic for a trunk like this, I like that idea!

Welcome and hello! I'm impressed with Temu's Cricut supply selection. You are correct, significantly less expensive and great finds. I've been wanting to try out glow in the dark vinyl! I'm going to look for it on the Temu website! Thank you! 😊

@@HomeCulture Get the puff glow in the dark. It really turns out well.
