[@BargainBethany]

After thousands of comments, I get it! I pronounce "Sparse" wrong. I call a meat tenderizer a nut cracker because that's exactly what it was to me growing up. I whacked open the walnuts we would get at Christmas time with a tenderizer so I call it a nut cracker cause thats what it was to me. You can all rest assured I've seen your comments. 😋

[@christina7991]

Your videos are great and fun to watch. Don't pay any attention to the people who feel the need to judge you, they should live by the cardinal rule"judge not lest ye be judged "

[@cynthiamcfadden2755]

Like your video. Well I thought your pronunciation was different but no reason to criticize. I think it just makes you like one of us and not to perfect. None of us are perfect. Lets see more videos.😀😀😀😀😀

[@kidznkiddz07]

I do not care what u call them. you are great

[@illbeyourstumbleine]

Sad you make a beautiful video with all this time spent and that's what people spent their time talking about. They will be gossips and we all know misery loves company. You keep being the awesome little you that you are!

[@bonnienewkirk-rhoades6008]

I think you're adorable & entertaining-you say whatever you want, however you want, & ignore those nit-pickers!

[@taborisjefferson9806]

I love all of them. I'm a young father and my daughter will love to see some of these things. My family will be surprised to see I decorated my house with Dollar tree items. I love dollar tree, I just never thought to do this. Thanks Bethany Bargain

[@drummergirl495]

Who cares what others say about pronunciation or what something is called....people please lighten up, Bethany works hard to put out fun and informative videos and she spends countless hours editing, shopping, creating and uploading videos for you with great content. Thanks Bethany and just remember that you will never please everyone but I love your enthusiasm and occasional singing 🎤 so keep on doing what you do! Hugs from Las Vegas!!! ❤️

[@gabriellerizzo4210]

Yes I agree is always people trying to put people down and those are the ones the they're just like looking for something This woman's working hard there's always typos and everything else I think they went a little bit too far and it's holiday time just calm down or get off the damn video

[@keepitreal477]

Bailey Clark love from Knoxville, TN!

[@judyberends4586]

I agree. She's a pro..we all have our own vocab...Merry Christmas.

[@gregg402]

Can I tell you most of the time when someone pronounces something wrong it irks me. But you never. I just think you are adorable, your hands flying, fast talking in your way and honest authentic self. Love you and I'm addicted to your shows.

[@momofthree121294]

My favorite was the tip of making your tree look fuller. It made such a difference

[@MessoverOG]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 Not only did you give some amazing ideas but I love how concerned you are about people not doing something dangerous like that peppermint hack. I’m one of those people who’ll do it anyway, but thanks for all your tips. I’m going to use most if not all of them. My favorite one probably was the garland around the sparse tree. Why didn’t I think of it? 👍🏽😇

[@jezcat723]

My favorite was framing a Christmas card, box or bag. I've actually saved some cards from prior years bc I think they are worth displaying again. Putting in a frame is an excellent idea

[@rachelbarker6666]

These are such cute ideas! Just FYI, if you mix a little powdered/confectioners sugar into the icing cups, it makes the icing thicker so the trees don’t get as droopy 😊

[@sandrablair9850]

[@SuperAnnielou]

Rachel Barker a Great idea and can you use powered or sitar for snow on the icing ?

[@sarahoh7593]

Rachel Barker oh cool thanks!

[@jurassicjaws]

You've seriously saved my bank account this holiday season. ❤ These tutorials and hacks force me to get creative because no Dollar Tree within a 20 mile radius of my house carries everything that yours has!

[@MsCjwoods]

I always love all your hacks!! I love the pictures ones (with the bags or boxes) because you could do any season with those! That could be really cheap Valentine decor or any other holiday since Dollar Tree carries seasonal bags and such! It would also be cute to do for a birthday party, to hang up during the party.

[@lynnkavanagh7361]

I love the Dollar Tree gift bags! They have gorgeous floral ones that don't have any words on them. These would be perfect for framing & using anywhere, the bathroom, bedroom, a guest room, just anywhere you needed a little artwork to liven up the space.

[@coup62]

I've done the same hack with cute cards in Dollar Store frames. (Disney, Hummel, BPG, Kincade, Wyland, etc)

Bethany and many here on their deathbeds will think back at all the cheer, kindness and how-to knowledge they spread throughout their life speaking at least 2 languages while many others here will look back and be grateful for all their properly pronounced English words while they condescendingly looked down their noses correcting bilingual or multilingual people. Your video was great and I enjoyed it :)

[@sebastianmatias8160]

Actually looove both frame ideas. Especially the xmas gift bags in the frames. Brilliant and super inexpensive 💕

[@rosem9065]

I love your ideas I think they're great and you get right to the point and you don't make them too long

Really great hacks. Love this dollar store video. I don't comment on many videos on KZbin but you showed really good ideas done very simply! Love ths.

[@soledadbelton8120]

I always watch I just rarely comment and I just want you let you know. I see how hard you work on these videos and I love how you deliver beautiful works.

[@BargainBethany]

Honestly, thanks Soledad. I appreciate you taking the time to comment that because it keeps me going. I try really hard with these videos and hope to improve. Will take time but I appreciate your kind words. Thank you!

Bargain Bethany Muah!!!😘

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

@@BargainBethany You don't ask for likes and subs before the video even starts. This got you a thumbs down 😑

[@BargainBethany]

@@SUGAR_XYLER oh well

[@Em22-wtf]

@@SUGAR_XYLER I'm absolutely certain she, and every other YTer that says whatever you are complaining about, will NOT lose sleep over it, considering there are 12,000 LIKES on it. ;) Honestly, I don't even know why people like you comment. Just do what you gotta do to make yourself feel better inside (bc I'm SURE you're the LIFE of any Party....), and GO. No one wants your negative Debby Downer 1cent worth comment. You remind me of THAT person that get's all indignant bc a page posts something you don't like and instead of Unliking the page on FB, you have to first announce that you're leaving....Really, NO ONE CARES. Byeeee....Your negative comments and thumbs down for the STUPIDEST reason WON'T be missed, I can assure you that.

Friendly, precise instructions. This lady could probably teach anything. I could watch her all day.

[@sandiclark7049]

I love the Noel frames, and I really think I'm going to do that next year...thank you so much for sharing your love of crafting with all of us

[@LuLu-sy8oz]

Love how you made the tree fuller, I also have the same issue with my after Christmas reduced tree, now I know how to fatten it up :D

[@thatrandomnerd7832]

I like the candy sleighs. Thank you for the idea. I like how your so honest and sincere. Thank you for that. And you're so sweet. Love the video. 👍🏻

[@Mina-fp11ym]

Excellent! What I like most is that you are straight to the point, quick and concise. No time wasted. Great ideas!

[@lisahruska9162]

I have 2 favorites. The Noel sign and the framed bags. Thanks for sharing! I am in Activities at an assisted living and now I have 2 new crafts for my residents to make!

[@gilkell]

I’ve been wanting to do something crafty with my mother around Christmas time. She lives in a small town, but there is a Dollar Tree. These are great ideas (especially the candy sleds). Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@roseleathers2771]

I love the NOEL pic! That is my favorite decor you did! I like the candy cane sleigh for some surprise gifts in case someone shows up I didn't plan for or a nice thinking of you gift~~Thanks so much for the ideas!

[@kathimanceri8434]

I have never seen anyone who can make the most beautiful decorations from dollar tree! I think what is amazing is you never ever run out of ideas. So talented. 😊

[@janiceheinzle5230]

Very beautiful. I love each one of them, even the peppermint ornaments. You make all of them seem so easy. Thank you for inspiration.

[@lpinckney22]

This is my first time watching one of your videos and love it already!!! I will be making everything on this video. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@lynettflores5039]

[@sonyalenz]

You get right to it, are quick with the explanation & the background music isn't too loud or annoying! Great job!

[@jasonandamymoore2703]

The Noel frame window & the wreath are my favorites. I also like the sleigh gift ideas 😊

[@BlanquisCreations]

These are ALL Great...I've always wanted to try & do the peppermint ornaments...appreciate the warnings & helpful tips

[@marcyjohnson8432]

I go out and cut real greenery from our property and tuck the sprigs into my tree. Not only does it makes the tree look real, it smells good, and by the time Christmas is over, the pieces are starting to dry, so they are easy to remove and pitch.

[@Em22-wtf]

Awesome Idea!! Thanks for this! I may try this if I end up using my fake tree this yr!

[@lucyviarruel9509]

[@janitplanet]

My dad wanted me to go to a Christmas tree lot and ask for fallen branches they might have for this purpose, but I haven't gotten around to it . Nice that you have a pine tree right on your lot. :)

[@turnerdeni847]

Great idea!! I love the smell of pine

[@cherbear4524]

[@marilynduncan5940]

My favorite was the Noel and the boxes framed came in second. All in all they where all great ideas young lady. Thank you for sharing.

[@barbarawarner6797]

Bethany - I agree with you! The Noel picture frame is a really nice complement to my wall. I have an empty picture frame on it for all seasons and I just removed it for this craft and put the NOEL pic in its place. Just lovely! I appreciate all the creativity you have and so willingly share with us!

[@joycesmith9754]

I love all of these they were great my granddaughter and I tried the peppermint ornaments one year and we never laughed so hard but it was such an amazing memory for the 2 of us. I love your videos I have since I watched the 1st one even went back and watched some makeup ones. God Bless You and have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year

[@Em22-wtf]

Lol, I'm literally scrolling thru comments right now to see if anyone else tried them and did something different that actually worked! It looks so cool, and I can imagine them also covered in some of that German glass glitter (I picked up TONS of it at my local thrift shop I have volunteered at for the last 6 yrs, it came in in those Quart bags, 4 of em full!). I'm thinking because you laughed you had no better luck?! Lol!

[@ashleymahley]

I love the Noel hack and the picture idea. I’ve thought about doing that before n I think I will do that when stuff starts going on sale for next year! Merry Christmas love all ur videos!

[@genhelms5915]

What a nice person you are to share these! Great hacks!

[@allynhoward5307]

Love! These are so much fun! And let me compliment you on your professional attitude and dignified response to the person that shared the correct pronunciation of the word “sparse”. She was very kind herself on sharing the right way to say it without being rude or condescending and you took the constructive comment like a champ! No drama or clap back. It’s so nice to witness people just being kind to each other. Her giving you a “heads up” and you graciously learning from it. On that alone consider me a follower of your channel!

[@thefrontporchcrafter572]

Hum if I had to pick one it would be the pictures because I did them last year and I'm using them this year. I love the Noel you did and I love the peppermint ornaments. Hope your thumb is better. Hope your having a wonderful weekend! Thanks for sharing with us. 😘❤️🙏🏻❄️🎅🏻☃️🎄🤶🏼🎁🌨

[@BargainBethany]

Thank you love for taking the time to comment. My thumb is better. That happened two weeks ago. It's about healed. Merry Christmas!

Oh wow, i love that noel frame. Would look great as a window with a poster of the eiffeltower or something like that!. You give me the best ideas ;). Thanks for sharing

[@maryhofstra7681]

Thanks SO much for taking the time to share all your "hacks"!!!! I really love the Neol frame and I think I'm going to make the ornament wreath with my 3 & 5 year old granddaughters! They'll love stringing the ornaments on!

[@janicekraczon3633]

Love the little ornament wreath. Going to try it today. Thanks.

[@lesamcclain4795]

I loved the Noel one and the boxes and bags framed was awesome. I also do the peppermint but I just make a big circle on a pizza pan and make it a serving tray. It looks realy pretty with cookies and fudge. Banana Bread does not do well on the peppermint but you can put plastic wrap on it works great. I don’t use molds or cookie cutters but I have made smaller peppermint circles and put goodies on them, wrap with plastic wrap, add a bow and I have a gift ready for guest to take home or surprise guest stopping by. I, not Martha Stewart but I’m not the Grinch either. Lol. Also I use all Dollar Tree items Nd I ha e for many years.

[@littlehonu]

Lesa McClain such a great idea. Serving tray

[@ladyhawc03]

Melt the peppermints on a skewer and make really large peppermint lollipops, wrap them up for gifts for the kids OR the kids @ hearts..😁😁.

For the most part Dollar Tree keep the same sort of things for the holidays and they also add new things. So that's awesome!!! Awesome video Beth. Very beautiful decor!!! ❤💚❤💚

[@karcarrot]

[@bestbitesforever]

All of these are such cute ideas! I really love the idea of framing the gift bags. I thought the Frosted mason jars were really cute too. I think I'm going to try to do the same thing except I'm going to mix a little bit of white paint into Elmer's Glue and see if that will give me a frosted look. I can't wait to try a couple of these and I am definitely going to put my kids to work on a few too. Thank you for the great ideas. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the great video! I'll be doing the sleighs, for sure. I'm sorry you got injured. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Where I'm from, we call that kitchen tool a meat tenderizer or mallet. I've never heard it called a nutcracker, interesting. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Honey Beige same here about the meat tenderizer. Everything has more than one use when you're creative and, as her channel shows, she is quite creative. Such great projects!

[@d.d.farago8377]

So cute! Just a quick tip, if you put your decorated bag in a cup, you can slip the top over the opening of the cup to open it up then fill your bag. :)

[@Genaeve]

I absolutely love this video. Thank you so much for sharing with us! I’m excited about trying these out! ♥️

[@lorimcgarrity6537]

I loved all of the ideas but especially the picture frame arrangment that looked like a window unit. Love it and you could use any of these frames that you used and just swap out whatever the next holiday is. They have beautiful bags for every season and holiday.

[@themermaidstale5008]

Just had to watch this from your title - almost a year later! Watching you freehand the lettering it is obvious your are an artist. For the candy sleigh, Glue Dots - available at DT - could be used on the peppermint runners in place of hot glue - just a thought. Sorry you injured yourself, but I think the peppermint ornaments are adorable.

[@veramariecano289]

You are so artistic!

[@illbeyourstumbleine]

Bethany this is actually the first video of your I have ever watched I must admit. You came off so sweet genuine and had some amazing ideas that my girls and I are dying to try! The reason for my post is about your pinned post. I left a comment on there with more detail about how I felt about things said to you in this comment section. I just wanted you to know I am sorry that has happened to you after such a lovely video. People sadly sometimes never grow out of their Mean Girl mentalities. You have a new fan and supporter in myself and my girls. Just wanted to stop by and let you know that. Not sure if you're the kind of KZbinr who gets to read a lot of their comments, but just in case I felt it in my heart to leave this one ❤

[@vickigoodman1614]

You are FANTASTIC !!! NOEL was also my favorite. However, as a cake decorator, the comes were so cool!! ! ❤

[@hyacinthcross6729]

Thanks for sharing! My favorite was the wreath, which I will definitely make

[@Chris-fj7dq]

If you try the cookie cutter ornaments use metal cookie cutters

[@stacieprice9]

Oh a light bulb just went off! Da, lol. Thank you! I wanted to make these cuz they would match my xmas tree perfectly. I'm wondering if the mini metal cookie cutters would also work? Idk if I could fit a candy in them though?. Hmmm. Thanks for idea!

[@beadscraftsandbeyond1148]

Love this! My fav was the Noel, although I loved them all. I have got to try that. You did such a wonderful job! Hope your thumb is feeling better. Worst thing I have had happen to me while trying to do a diy (lately), is I had to sneeze while holding a shallow tray of vase fillers from the Dollar Tree, to make a long story short, sneezed...explosion of pink debris going everywhere, sadly the bag of filler did not survive, good note, my room, including myself, looked very festive! ** bonus..mom seen it all and she laughed so hard and now can't even look at me now without giggling! lol. Glad I bought more than one bag. Anyways, just wanted to say I just love all of your DIY's, you are so creative and are an great inspiration for everyone! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Tfs! ~Kimberley =)

[@debbiem6406]

Bethany, great ideas. Since you had the space, it was smart of you to group the framed Christmas art, instead of hanging just one. Clever girl adding the wreath greenery. Another way to fill up bare spots on the tree (fake or real), is to add actual Christmas tree branches and greenery. Adds the scent, too. Tree lots typically give these away. Blessings!

[@sweethaven1929]

The frosted mason jar is my favorite and then the Noel sign , great job , as always, keep them coming.
