actually good last minute diy-able gift ideas!

[@lizzymartinez6016]

PSA: when putting glass in the oven you should warm it up along with the oven. If you put the glass in without allowing it to warm up will crack it due to the difference in temperature

[@masha7377]

True!! Except when it's ovensafe like Pyrex, some glasses are. 😊

[@SeaguIISoup]

And if it cracks do not put it in water or try to cool it down immediately, it will literally explode

[@sweetheart101227]

I was curious about the glass cracking ! Thanks for this tip!

[@juniperraven1386]

Fun thing, you can intentionally crack marbles by heating them up in the oven and putting them in ice water. The resulting marbles are still spherical but have more interesting internal structure.

[@brittianica]

Really loved the fun way you guys are playing with editing now (moving around the inanimate objects in a stop motion way)!! Super cute. Also absolutely adore that you’re leaving all of the personality and mistakes in. For a while there, it felt like you guys were maybe polishing too much out, but I’m glad to see you’re getting back to your roots :)) Fave DIY (that I’m stealing) was the cutlery holder!!

[@Marigold11037]

I'd love a "that cost how much" for christmas decor or some christmas gift ideas. Not the typically candle or bath/body gift, but something nice for a person who wants cute decor without getting it new or feeling like they're pressuring friends into spending lots ♡

[@julienov8084]

Great idea!

[@sweetheart101227]

Love this!

[@hollylockhart9423]

Literally wreathes. I love making them and I hate to see prices in stores

[@ArawynnEveningstar]

PSA: should definitely add a warning on the thrifted glass candle since not all glass is heat resistant and meant to have flames in them. You don't want to injure your loved ones by shattering glass shards. Defintely look for thrifted candle holders or something actually meant to burn candles in to be safe.

[@reginaj6038]

Thank you! I was given Vintage candlestick holders that exploded in front of me when the candle ran low. Before that, I had no idea that could happen 😬

[@Memememememe3]

I had this happen to me and it started a fire on my dresser, so yes this is very important!!

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Glass that is the same thickness over the entire vessel is usually able to handle it. If it has thin sides and a thick bottom - typical - it will prolly crack.

[@annekieffer1167]

FUN FACT : did you know that bougie in french means candle, yeah so this IS a bougie bougie haha . From a french girl ;)

[@sarahdossor296]

You can do the match holder with a round flat plate made from the same clay and roll a very long thin sausage shape same clay and roll it round and round in a coil to build your sides.... 😘

That silverware holder is great. I take real silverware every day with my lunch box as well as a cloth napkin, but many people I work with do it and this would be a nifty gift to make them!

[@bigscruppy]

Candle in French is "bougie" lol so it's funny how much you called it that

[@jennifer9084]

These were so wholesome and eco friendly which just adds more of a bouji vibe.

[@cutiepiepatooteypie]

Kelsey sounds like she JUST discovered the word ‘bougie/boujee’ LOL Sounds like my parents when they discover a new slang word.

[@Lynsey17]

Be careful with the candle DIY - you want to make sure you have a heat-safe glass. If you don’t, it could crack in the oven or when the candle is lit.

[@emiliegenevieve9803]

I feel like if you'd made a flat piece of clay by rolling it out, used a cookie cutter for the base and cut a rectangle for the circle piece, it might've looked better. Like you link the rectangle by short side, and place it long side down onto the cookie cut circle piece.... Idk

[@psherman1149]

Emilie MacDonald you’re describing a slab-build for a cup/bowl! It’s a legit ceramics technique.

[@kb9847]

great ideas!! I love the candle one. I save all the leftover wax from my Bath & Body candles so I should make some little candles from those. I use them in my wax melter, like Scentsy, but I could make candles too. Thanks for the great tips!!!

[@mmmmmmolly]

i also find the presentation of the gift makes it seem more fun/boujee/thoughtful. i wanted to get a gift for one of my friends but she's very picky so makeup, clothes were out of the question, i also didn't have a big budget. so i bought a bigger jar with a cute lid, got a bunch of mini chocolates, a small snow globe and some decor stars and filled the jar. tissue paper on the bottom, snow globe in the middle surround by chocolate and glittery mini stars. looked really cute, way better than just putting the chocolate and snow globe in gift bag

[@psherman1149]

Hey Kelsey! For the matchstick bowl, I’d recommend looking up “pinch pots.” It’s an ancient method for making cups and bowls and is the very first thing you learn in hand building ceramics classes.

[@gigimarie41]

So funny: earlier today I saw your gift ideas video from last year and thought “man, I wish they would make a new one!“ Soooo thank you :)

[@FoD1975]

Aw, your match holder is so cute, and could be used for so many different things! To hold hair bands, jewellery, anything really! And the candle idea is absolute genius, thank you! ☺️ x

[@sas0919]

I love watching these videos but i barely ever diy any gifts.

[@idelanaledi]

Me and you both☺

[@sarahspaceslippers]

5:55 the one kelsy did is called a thumb pot where you use your thumb to start making the pot basically. Another type of pot you could make is a coil pot where you roll a big sausage with the clay and then you wind it round to create the shape of the pot that you want, then you smoothen the sides of the pot and it should be in a nice shape

[@Stephinachan13]

thumb pot? I've only heard it called a pinch pot, cause you pinch your fingers together to thin out the clay. Guess there are a few names for it.

[@psherman1149]

Stephinachan13 I was also taught that it’s called a pinch pot.

[@HighHeelShoes]

Yup, I said aloud “pinch pot” when watching her technique. The last time I said “pinch pot” was probably in 1997 when I made one in fifth grade art class and it turned out looking like ... a pinched pot... :/

[@EdwinaCL]

love these old videos!! nostalgic visiting them!!

[@immaskinnywhitebitch]

Any ideas as to how to store your utensils once they're dirty? Worried about how someone would get them home after using them without dirtying their pouch?

[@kbdawn7584]

i think i'm going to make the utensil kit for myself for christmas! i start uni soon and that kit is so cute!

[@flamestoat]

Hey Kelsey! I don't know if someone has commented already, but from someone who knows something about weaving, the reason it's called "warping" is because fabric is made of intertwined fibers, one going vertical and one hortizonal. One is called the warp, and one the weft. Hope that helps!

[@softtay]

These ideas are amazing! Love the match striker holder and the little fabric case with utensils!!!

[@RexPersonthing]

It's called "warping the loom" because those threads are called warp threads! :) In any woven fabric, the threads running one direction are called the warp threads, and the threads running parallel to them are called the weft threads. So there's the warp and the weft. :D

[@caitlynb5504]

"As someone who doesn't loom" yep, you definitely don't weave 😂❤ Absolutely beautiful projects!

[@eyiapandora3933]

The Warp are the threads that go length ways in fabric and the Weft are the threads that go left to right (weft to right ;) ) across the width of the fabric. Thus "Warping the loom" is setting up the length way threads.

[@KL-ol8xf]

Was that candle heavily inspired by the Homesick Candles brand? Same style sticker and you mentioned labeling it with your hometown, just like the Homesick candles idea.

[@7sevendaysara]

What a genius idea to DIY something to DIY. Boooom. Blew my mind. Amazing the cutlery kit

[@JayofallTrades]

Tip rubbing alcohol or clay softener will moisten the clay and remove fingerprints before baking

[@decoratewithsarah3638]

That cutlery holder is such a good idea and honestly... I want it for my purse since I always forget my cutlery when I'm at work 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@isabelleniia4661]

Please do another "Turning junk into cute tree ornaments" 😁😁

[@lillydowty7455]

I really like this style, it was fun to see the office in the background and I liked how it seemed like Kelsey was just having a conversation with me! This felt very laid back and personal and I loved it!

[@layne6474]

I love the strike holder, its so cute. I love how it's not so refined and looks handcrafted like how ceramics used to be made. I think it would look so good using one of your speckled methods on it before adding the green paint to just add to the pottery look.

[@Nou_rish]

[@dylanbrocato4660]

And for the candles you could totally add essential oils in it while its melted

[@forgetmenot277]

These ideas are so cute! I think it would also be cool if you would actually add some scent to the candles! Don't quite know how to do that but i do love scented candles a lot

[@gothempress]

Just add some drops of essential oils into the melted wax and stir so it's evenly distributed. You can use a popsicle stick to stir it.

[@lindaswint8692]

You can absolutely add essential oils to nonscented candles, but I'm assuming from their label templates they tried to make it super easy by buying candles that are already scented

[@cindymichaud7111]

Excellent ideas. Nice work Kelsey BTW, looking forward to your house reno videos 💕💕💕

[@mehganharris1162]

i’m really about to take $2 wax melts from walmart and make a 20$ yankee candle GENUIS

[@totalanimalsoup]

The reason its called "warping" the loom is because when you're making a woven fabric, the vertical strands are called the warp, and the horizontal strands are called the weft! So since you are putting in the vertical strands, you are "warping" :)

[@Eedama96]

Love the reusable kit!

[@PhoebeGrigor]

When there’s still a month until Christmas but I already know I’ll probably need these last minute ideas 😬

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! The editing, the diy, the vibe, Kelsey being Kelsey... All of it ♥️

[@belltbronwyn]

Love the cutlery roll. I need to make one and get cutlery too. Knitting needle and crochet hook holders is another thing I need to make...

[@pippylunalove]

It's called warping because the vertical yarns (or length of fabric yarns) are called warp threads. They were originally called ends. The yarns that you interlace through the warp yarns are now called weft yarns. They originally called picks and the process of putting weft thread through the separated warp threads (the shed) is called picking.

[@feasible_poet4417]

This was so fricken helpful! I had no clue what to do for some of my extended family and this has definitely given me a few things to work with :)

[@micahnj7431]

Omg I loved this the ideas are so cute and original! ❤️

[@XO2HKIM]

That match striker needs to be more polished, not sure if anyone would want that as a gift lol. Maybe just use a glass jar/container, glue the black strip onto it, and maybe glue on some Christmas-y decor too (ribbon, bells, gift tag, etc.). The utensil holder was super cute though!

[@scrapdaworld]

I LOVE the diy utensils - will try that for sure! Thanks!

[@CatnipLingerie]

I’m pretty sure it’s called warping the frame because you are adding the warp threads. The threads going down fabric are warp threads & the ones going across are weft threads. I’m a fabric lover

[@carlyh6913]

I really dug this video, good job Kelsey 💖 The utensil kit is genius! I really want one now, I didn't even know this was a thing, and the grey linen with the bamboo, amber glass jar and the straw ± straw cleaner?! 😍 Also, now I wanna make and design the match holder and diy candle. Thanks for showing me such an easy way to do this xx

[@bkitteh6295]

Would be super cute in pourable concrete, too. (& maybe a little easier? ? Hard to say, I guess...) Thanks for showing us all these!

[@mountainrose12]

I'm sure somebody else already commented, but you can only use a lighter or a match to seal a rope if it's a synthetic fiber. Natural fibers just burn but you can "whip" (i think that's the word) the ends with string or dental floss.

[@JDPewPewPew]

Carving hash marks along the base of match stick holder before baking would be better than gluing sand. Less messy

[@eli55a7]

The “kitten”/“button” pronunciation isn’t wrong or lazy, it’s called a glottal stop and it’s actually phonetically correct (at least in American/Canadian accents that I’m aware of). Think of how you say “uh-oh”-it’s the same thing! :-)

Cute DIYs! That candle is seriously great and may or may not be a gift for someone this Christmas from me. Random weird nitpick, the hard sounds were backwards, the long strings start far away from you and so the glissando sound should've gone low to high. I have some harpist friends.
