[@beckyrumery6928]

I have been wondering how the Coconut Vanilla smelt..I can imagine it's spells amazing. Is it a strong smell?

[@HotHumblePie]

@@beckyrumery6928 no. They are light and refreshing, well to me anyway. I was happily surprised!

[@renayemcdougall7112]

I'm totally in love with the Mason jar one that you made a frame for it from the race tracks!! Where did you get that place mat was it Dollar General I want to see if I could find some like that. Tfs all came out so beautiful!! ❤❤

[@wandaperry3662]

You are amazing in creating crafts. I’m using some of your ideas for Christmas gifts.

[@HotHumblePie]

@@renayemcdougall7112Dollar General ❤

[@Michele-wi9pk]

I absolutely love what you did with the Hot Wheel tracks that is the cutest picture and you are such an amazing crafter with such UniQue Ideas I get such a joy watching you

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@anmasujo3821]

The signs at 💵 🌳 & other stores are made with MDF. It's basically saw dust and possibly other media that's mixed with a glue substance & then poured into a mold that's dried, then sliced. Sometimes it's dyed prior to pouring into a mold & other times it dyed after it's removed from the mold & sliced. Which would explain size that are the same shape & size, but the back edges are different colors than other signs. It's not water proof. It will start to expand if it gets enough water on it to expand. You have to treat it with some sort of varnish for water proofing. Or only hang it or use it in areas that are mostly dry... Also if they're used in a damp area, eventually they will still start to expand. So finishing your products if placing in humid areas (kitchen if you do a lot of cooking or bathrooms or basement areas) you'll want to either brush or spray varnish on all areas.

[@joyceterra2265]

Delightful Holly. I never imagined placemats could look so good. Clever. And using those hot wheel tracks, Ingenious.

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! xx

[@Kati_k_kuriosz]

WOW!!! I would of never thought of using vinyl mats for such awesome projects! Thanks for sharing

[@KayXoXo4]

Happy to see ya! ❤

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! So happy to be here! It's been rough! xox

[@peggycomer1]

I think I would have used the salt and pepper shakers to enhance the bow on#1. I love them all as usual.❤❤

[@janicebell5925]

I’ve been watching your videos a while and there has never been a time that I didn’t just love all of them. Also you have such unique ideas such as , Racetrack for picture frames. Two of my sisters were artists and I have inherited so many paintings that need new frames. I can’t wait to try this. Aldo I had the same problem with cutting with the shears. I went back and ordered a second set that a different Diyer recommended and they worked. Right now I can see her face but can’t remember her name. I will let you know. You need to be writing books a bout crafting. Thanks so much. Janice

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you and yes! Please let me know the name of the shears that you got. Maybe the brand name is somewhere on your shears?

[@jodyunrue4711]

A sheet of Crafter's Square cork would be cute on the back of the pumpkin shaped wine-themed craft as well!

[@HotHumblePie]

Oh great idea! I have some too!

[@suzzannelemarier3350]

I love the idea of an oversized tee shirt to keep your clothes clean. I'll have to try that. All your ideas were great

[@eileenf703]

That hot wheels track frame around that placemat!😍. Who knew placemats could be so versatile and pretty.! Great video!

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! 🤗

[@patriciacrocker9481]

It shows how our imagination work

[@carolnewby8747]

Oh my, all of these are beautiful. My favorite would be the frame made from race tracks.

[@tracewalker8772]

A pumpkin, a messy bow and raffia, what could be better!! Great job!!💕💕💕

[@HotHumblePie]

Yes! Thank you!

[@cynthiabakke825]

I'm glad you showed up in my recommendations! I absolutely LOVE the way you leave in any hiccups in the process and show how you fixed it as well as explaining why you chose certain products and processes. So much great info, and your voice is so pleasant and calm! It's like having a chat with a friend while puttering with projects.

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! I’m glad you found me too! Welcome to my KZbin family! ❤️

[@sylviaschell1496]

Yes.. Very well said!! I feel the same exact way ❣️Holly U R the best❤️

[@shruffles35]

These are so beautiful! I've never seen anyone do anything this nice with Dollar Tree plastic placemats! I is going WOW for sure!

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you!

[@pattscollectons1234]

Love everything ❤️ but my 2 favorite is the Planter and the wine pumpkin love those two.

[@shannonwalker9874]

I was also so excited to see some else as excited about the Dollar Tree placements, I did something much more simple I just cut them and put them in Dollar Tree frames and gifted them to my kids and of course I have mine hanging above my stove.

[@lissachampion6574]

I think my favorite one was with using the tracks as a frame. Totally looked high end. And you would've ever known those were race tracks..love, love. TYFS!

[@margarethamartens4406]

Oh my gosh, they are all so stunning. Specially, the flower box and the pumpkin so gorgeous. I love the 😍😊

Thanks so much! 😊

All of these projects came out gorgeous. Who would have known you can make such beautiful things with place mats. Love them all, and oh my word, never thought of using the car tracks to make a frame, genius idea :)

[@HotHumblePie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@billiegraham2914]

So glad you’re back!! BTW other you tubers are giving you props for your painting techniques! I was watching a few new to me crafters and 4 of them mentioned you and your ability to make anything look like wood!

[@HotHumblePie]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@elizabethszwed7851]

Love Love ❣️ can't wait to go to the dollar and get me some of these item's to make. Thank You ❣️

[@pamelahenderson3990]

I have also heard other crafters mention Holly. She does do amazing work.

[@TemperenceTheGinger]

My kitchen and dining room are actually decorated with a purple & green grapevine design. About 25 years ago I started buying the ivy vine in green and white, then you couldn’t find it, because they started selling the wine/grapevine items. Over the last 25 years I have collected some gorgeous items and made many items myself. The black placement is also my favorite!! Your box was STUNNING 💜! I am obsessed. Cannot wait to make some for my porch (huge southern porches here) in the seating areas for floral decor, books/magazines, throw blankets (that’s at least 3!). Thank you Ms Holly as always. Absolutely genius Edit: the last one matches my Bathroom to PERFECTION! I do not have a coastal theme in there, but the I use cobalt blue and white with light yellow warm walls. 👏👏👏

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! 🤗

[@victoryforever1915]

WOW!!!! 😳 Placemats are very versatile for DIYs

[@jmahoney9561]

The cardboard pumpkin looks like an apple to me and it fits perfectly with the wine and the wine glass graphic.

[@claytonstorms565]

I agree 100%. It still turned out really good though. ------------Amelia Storms

[@beccascraps8141]

The bow is PERFECT! my prob with hot gluing larger areas is that the Allier glue part dries before I can stick it to the thing

[@CraftingMyBestLifewithLisa]

I love them all! I used to do more projects with placemats. Thanks for reminding me how great they are to work with. Hugs friend!🥰🤗

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! 😊

[@debraagee5095]

I never thought of making anything out of place mats! I love them!

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

I love these I didn’t realize I cure glue these so easily.

[@junerobbins6871]

Hi Holly, I love your projects. They are wonderful

[@sharivaudo5908]

These are all amazing, but my absolute favorite is the framed placement. Thank you for sharing these with us. 🌹

[@HotHumblePie]

Glad you like them!

[@claytonstorms565]

I agree. The racetracks look like faux wood. It came out extremely well. -------------Amelia Storms

[@melissab9865]

I just love your ideas and the fact that you show that crafting isn't perfect and fixing oopsies is no big deal! I also love your affordable and simple solutions to things - like using soft men's shirts to wear to protect your clothes and how you cut your pumpkin craft in half to create a template to use to get the opposite side of the pumpkin to match. So simple, such a great idea - and one I probably wouldn't even have thought of! I look forward to and love each of your videos! Thank you for sharing so much with us and being an inspiration to fairly new hobby crafters like myself.

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!!! ❤️😝

[@grndmaw]

I liked the pumpkin made with the wine placemat. My favorite was the mason jars with flowers!

[@nancybricker5385]

Those were awesome! And I look at placemats every now and then and nothing ever seems to come to me. Now I think ideas will pop into my head when I see them.Thanks for the inspirations.

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! Hope you have a great week, my friend! ❤️

[@lindabentley86]

Love all of these "hacks". They all look so high end and perfect for someone's home. Using the race track items was brilliant. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@vickiemorgan8654]

Oh my gosh I got the place mat with the Mason jars and flowers..I wanted to frame mine but couldn't find a frame what a great idea now I can frame mine and enjoy this beautiful picture. Thank you so much. I loved all of your diys. May God Bless and have a great day 😊

[@deberaparra7430]

For the tray, you could add block beads to make the handles taller

I loved all these I cannot pick my fav but that pumpkin wine hanger was so darling! I loved the tray as well...how creative you are!!

It's been a little bit seeing your crafting. Hope all is well. Your Diys wear fantastic. I luv the tear tray.❤

Thank you! You too!

My favorite was the “Family makes a House a Home”

Thank you!

[@brendamorrison6242]

Holly I could just justify listen to you talk all day. You have such a calm reassuring voice. And I can't pick a favorite craft. I love them all. You have a most blessed weekend.

[@HotHumblePie]

Wow, thank you!

[@carrey7873]

the pumpkin mat is adorable

[@libbycollins9349]

I used a wine themed placemat similar to the one you used for the pumpkin, using a round Dollar Tree sign to back it, adding some wine corks (tied up with jute) that I brought back from Paris. Now I want a chocolate croissant….

[@tammyhelms7000]

They are all beautiful! My favorite is the race track frame picture! ❤️

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! That one was fun! xxx

[@user-yb3qc6sd9o]

Thank you SO much! First timw here NS --DAng so excited, can't even type! 🤣 I bought a LARGE unframed vinyl print from Temu almost 40x 20 and could not figure out how to frame it. And there you were with the answer-foamboards and Hot Wheels-awesome! Will send a picture of it when I get it done. this is just great-🙌

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! ❤️ if you upload your photo as a public pin on Pinterest, I will share it to my board there. Just send it to me on Pinterest. There is an email portion of Pinterest or you can send the link to the pin here or Instagram.

[@franstoeckel2403]

Wow Holly. These are amazing. I love the placemats and have many. I just never knew what to do with them. Thank you for these amazing ideas. ❤❤❤

[@HotHumblePie]

Glad you like them!

[@marycoody6934]

Thank you for sharing your creative ideas ! I love the placemats and now have new uses thanks to you! Great work!

[@Nana1959.]

I love the Farmer’s Market idea , but you could cut out the carrot etc…. then you’d see more of your good paint job you did on your tray. Very clever ideas, thank you!

[@laurafesmire309]

Love them all holly. So cute. Love the last one. Alot

What a great idea using race tracks for a picture frame👍 Love this

[@maureenlevesque4898]

Love the idea on how to use the place mats ❤ thank you

[@OnlyJalenPhd]

It’s funny that as it’s being made, I think it’s not something I’d make. THEN, she adds her frills, sprinkles fairy dust and it’s gorgeous. 🧚🏼🧚🏼🧚🏼🧚🏼

[@HotHumblePie]

🥰😂👍

[@thishappyhousewife9341]

I love that farmers market placemat! I use scrubs. I got some cheap ones that were on clearance through a couple of different uniform places online. I wear them to clean in and craft in.

[@HotHumblePie]

Great idea!!

[@junerobbins6871]

I've used the white tee shirt to protect my clothes too and when the grandchildren paint at my place. I've got one that looks like it was made that way and I wear it now as one of my shirts lol

[@carolenault9147]

Love the bow, it gives it demention.

[@marydotterer729]

Oh my goodness!!! I’ve never thought about taking the tracks to make a frame!!!! If you have air dry clay and some frilly fondant molds you can make the frame looked like carved wood! Watch out dollar tree, here I come!!!

[@HotHumblePie]

Great idea!! That would look awesome!

[@shannonwalker9874]

Men’s white t-shirts yes!! I found the George brand from Walmart to be sooo soft and light and comfy, they were better then the popular brands which I had always bought for my husband. Now I feel guilty because mine are better 😂

[@HotHumblePie]

Good to know!

[@phyllisk6275]

My first Fall crafts video! I love all of these, but especially the pumpkin. I going to make a few to use as hotpads & smaller versions to use as coasters for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you!

[@tphillips37]

Hot Wheels track as a frame? This is exactly what I need to frame my diamond painting!

[@peggymorton8998]

I love how the track made into a frame so good

[@terifleenor5256]

I’m extremely impressed at how the racetracks looked as a frame. Very creative. I would not have thought they world have looked so good. I think if you spray painted them, I think they would be too shiny. With the chalk paint it made them look like wood. I will defiantly try this!!!

[@PCHPatti]

Using the hot wheels tracks is brilliant! Remarkable project.

[@sueanimallover8952]

It was great to see you back! I love everyone one of these Holly! I definitely wouldn't have thought of using racetracks for a picture frame. Brilliant!! God bless and thank you for sharing your talents and ideas with us.

[@maggiestack3757]

For a “craft shirt” my mom always gave us my dad’s old dress shirts. Has sleeves to cover your regular sleeves and big enough to fit over clothes, you can get great deals on large shirts at thrift stores. When I was little she’d put it on me backwards so I was covered completely!

[@HotHumblePie]

Love that!

[@stephanieroseguera9788]

The plastic car tracks idea are awesome!!

Thank you! Hope you have a great week, my friend! ❤️

[@denisepope8599]

If you dampen the raffia, you can straighten it out and gain better control and look of it. You may already know this. I don’t remember which DIYER shared this on her channel. Thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas with the placemats. I have those same placemats you used for the coasters. The hot wheels frame and placemats is absolutely beautiful.

I use the cheap tshirts also. When they get enough paint on them, I tie dye them and they are ready to go many more times.

[@terismidt4920]

I love all of these. After you got those placements at Dollar General, I looked high and low for them. I couldn't find any of them at the Dollar Generals in my Arizona areas. I knew when you bought them to keep an eye out for your video. You craft the most awesome things. I appreciate you sharing your talents. Thank you 😊

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! 🤗

[@nonna1207]

I really enjoyed every creation. The racetrack one was perfect timing for me because I am repurposing a piece of artwork I’ve had for years and was figuring out how to do a frame. This was a treat and a treasure to see your creative ways. Fun video!

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you! 🤗 I’m so glad!

[@carolbuchel3011]

I love the big t-shirt idea! I have ruined more clothes while impromptu crafting!!

[@tracysmothers5968]

Omg the tray is gorgeous. I could also use the thin corkscrew backing on the bottom

[@carlaluhn6806]

You know that I, of course, LOVE these! I actually framed the placemat that you done with hot wheel tracks a couple of years ago & loved it! I didn't use hot wheel tracks but I adore that idea! That looked fantastic! I can't begin to express my excitement when you started talking fall crafting 💖💖💖! I perked up like you wouldn't believe😂. I'm about ready for it 👏🤗. It takes me a while because I like to do so much each year so I start on every season & holiday crazy early (kind of like you creators) so I was VERY excited. Then you brought the raffia out...oh my, oh my...be still my heart 💖! LOOOOOVE it 🙂. Welcome back Ms. Holly 💖.

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you Carla! Glad to be back! 🤗

[@melindaelizabeth9366]

🙀 AMAZING!!! The racetrack pieces made.a GORGEOUS frame, and I LOVE that placemats 💜💜💜💜💜

[@HotHumblePie]

Thank you!

[@kimmerrou]

Ok, the placemat racetrack picture?...I stopped the video and went and showed my family explaining what it was. BRILLIANT! Some people just have a gift when it comes to seeing end results. Me? Nope. At least not with crafts. I also really liked the ribbon on the pumpkin.

[@carolpeiffer2222]

For paint cover-ups: 1. I buy men's dress shirts at GoodWill. I usually buy 4, (2 short-sleeved for summer & 2 long-sleeved for winter or when I have a long-sleeved shirt on under it) large enough that they will go over my regular clothes, including a sweatshirt or sweater in cold weather. I look for shirts that have some polyester so I don't have to iron them. I haven't bought any for a while, but the last time I bought some they were on sale for $2 each. Some have slightly-frayed collars or cuffs, but I've found shirts that look like they've never been worn. I used a very nice one (light blue with thin darker blue verticle lines) for years as a very light jacket for cool summer nights. I also carried it in my personal item on flights in case the A/C was too cool. After several years, it was looking a bit shabby, so it became another paint coverup. 2. When I taught art in public schools, I loved my wrap-around lab coat ---sometimes called a butcher coat. It had short sleeves and was about mid-thigh length. it protected my clothes and also had large side pockets & slits in the sides to reach pockets in my dress or slacks. I needed room keys, a pencil, eraser, sometimes tape & a pair of blunt-ended scissors almost every day, so I could easily carry what I needed as I went from student to student to help them. The front part could be wrapped with the left side over the right or vice-versa , so I could put the cleanest side (if meeting parents) or messiest side out (if doing something very messy.) I've seen them in various colors online for about $25. 3. Home-ec students made bib aprons with pockets and a long tie that went behind the neck and threaded down through side channels to the waist and tied in back, adjustable so they fit just about anyone. Lots of kids didn't take their finished aprons home, so at the end of every school year, the home ec teacher kept some for cooking classes and gave the rest of the ones left behind to the art dept and that's what students used when we did messy things.
