For my own reference so I do not have to watch the entire 30 minutes worth to remember why I saved this video :D 1:27 - Pink flamingo wreath using straw wreath, leis, and small plastic flamingos 2:24 - wineglass candles 2:44 - yellow welcome sign, farmhouse style, also brilliant use of hot glue by putting it in an electric hot plate/pot 6:01 - rope candle or flower holders 6:58 - dented copper look pot (using caulk on a planter and making indentations then spray painting) 7:19 - padded jewelry holder 8:08 - really cool and fairly nice looking wall mounted candle holders using plungers 8:38 - Very cool lazy susan clear acrylic drawer organizer, they use it for makeup but it would make a very nice crafting supplies/tool storage 9:53 - small farmhouse style wood crate holder 11:07 - tissue paper covered candles 11:25 - book ends made from metal napkin holders 12:52 - light wrapped hula hoop - could make fun night time tossing games 13:05 - Beautiful tulip wreath, kind of rainbowy 13:53 - fabric paint holder/organizer made from metal napkin holder 14:16 - making a ring holder from sponge hair rollers 14:35 - Natural flower wrapped vases with candles inside - looks like luminaries 14:58 - the cutest apothercary style box drawers! 15:38 - Light up hanging clouds! They are cute! 17:00 - picture frame glass box 17:47 - using mini jenga blocks to make sculptures, could be used for other wood creations 21:05 - flower arrangement centerpiece/topiary - using frames, mirrors, papertowel rolls, flower blocks, faux flowers, wire, crystals, zip ties, faux candles 22:12 - faux stone bowls and displays 23:52 - foam flower letter (giant) 24:54 - Hoop chandelier with flower arrangement and lights 26:38 - citrus slice charger plates 27:06 - nailpolish dipped mugs (I particularly like the clean set up for this process, they used a plastic grocery bag to line the container, making cleanup easy peasy) 28:26 - really cool twisted candles 28:44 - faux cherry blossom tree using a real branch and faux flowers

[@JNMKlover]

Thank u for sharing! I don't always do every tip in these clever videos. But rewatching different videos, trying to remember where I saw what I wanted to do is maddening. The flamingo wreath is a MUST for a summer party.

I think I have the rules down: If it’s white paint it black If it’s black paint it white If it’s wood wrap cord around it If it’s smooth give it texture If it’s round add a mirror If it’s rectangular make it a tray Anything’s better gilded Candles can go in anything, and be decorated with anything. If you don’t know what to make, make jewelry storage.

You forget the “never use clamps” step. 😂

Always spend more money on parts than it would take you to buy the complete item already assembled

[@CarlottaHall]

NEVER melt wax on a pot directly o a heat source, and Dont add the essential oils on it either. Wax and essential/ fragrance oils are volatile and can ignite that way. (Fragrance /essential oil flash point is 115-120 ° F, wax can be 350-430° F depending on wax type, open flame burns at 451° F or more depending on fuel type). Use a temperature controlled electric pot or melt in a double boiler (put the wax into a steel container placed into a pot of water that is boiling, melts without hitting the flash point where the direct heat ignites it,) the inner pot is heated insulated by the water below plus the heat surrounded it). Remove the wax from the heat and then immediately add the fragrance and stir.

Very cute! But I guess we all have our own definitions of “high end.”

[@cdo4Jesus]

Most of the items can be found at Dollar Tree, Dollar Store or Dollar General. In some cases, maybe even at the 99 Cent store. The glues, paints, etc can be found maybe at those same places, but also craft shops like Hobby Lobby or hardware stores like Lowes, Ace's or Home Depot. I do agree that it would be helpful to know exactly what they are using (even just words on each craft as they go). I hope this helps some : )
