Can we DIY expensive decor from CB2?

[@jecamartinez]

For the gold box, I would recommend adding about an inch extra on the top that you can fold over so that the edges won't be so sharp :D

[@shai5213]

That's a good idea

[@lizzy9732]

Especially if you hv kids! Thx! Great idea!

[@aliwirth58]

I bet sanding the edges would help too. ☺️

[@marylhere]

Making the sides one piece and adding the bottom would make it cleaner as well.

[@isabelrapp2120]

Jeca Martinez Art or you can sand it

[@debbydhill]

2 parts white sand to 1 part cement helps to make it white.

[@shyshynka3927]

Or add white paint like they add the other ones.

[@tedwu8651]

Yaas I’ve used this method before and it totally worked. The end result is like plaster but a lot sturdier. Just keep in mind by adding white sand (which is essentially white marble powder if I remembered correctly) the setting time will increase. In my experience you’ll also have to add a bit more water.

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

I'm wondering if sanded tile grout world work... I found some left over (grout) from the previous owners' renovation my basement, maybe I could use that to do this diy...

[@danshachar7406]

there is white cement, although adding sand will make the mixture stronger so thats a plus

[@apienton]

I actually DIY’ed the marble pot a few months ago! I sprayed a big pot from TJMaxx with high gloss white paint, and used a crumbled newspaper with gold leaf paint to get the marble effect. I love it! Hated the CB2 price and loved having a project.

[@charb719]

For the doorstop, I would’ve also added a felt circle to the bottom

[@mpacino1224]

Great idea but wouldn't the door possibly move it then? I only ask because that's the reason I am here.

[@matchalatte3733]

Felt so that your floor wouldn't scratch, and then add a drop of glue gun that way the door doesn't slip off

[@Geminii44]

Sense you added brown to the concrete to make brown, couldn’t you just add white and make white concrete then add the brown or grey to to get that marble affect.

[@katelynwall2899]

Geminii44 THATS WHAT I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA DO IN THE FIRST PLACE !!!

[@jassie.mariee]

Katelyn Wall same here

[@Perlesni]

white colors take A LOT more than dark colors to mix though. think about brown paint and adding white to it, you need like a whole bottle vs white paint and adding brown- you only need a little. worth a try though! i need to get into these concrete DIYs, i just dont want concrete all over my apartment!

[@chelseajupiter2103]

For the gold box, you could try printing a cube net and tracing that out onto the metal that way you're only working with one piece.

[@chelseajupiter2103]

Also, you can pick up powders for coloring concrete.

[@SuperNerd528]

I think they did it the way they did to cut down costs and use less material

[@chelseajupiter2103]

The way I'm suggesting they do the gold boxes would increase the cost by the cost of a few sheets of paper.

[@geertjebrandenburg195]

I think the sheeting they got at their home depot wasn't large enough to match a cube sheet the size that would match the original cb2 box. You can see in the video they can't put two squares next to each other on the short side of the sheeting otherwise they would have done so

[@jafnathbeebi9407]

I would have used the ikea box and used brass/gold contact paper on it. I always chose the easier way.

[@bigbluester4733]

You need "white portland cement" for decorative pieces and regular cement for construction. Also two cement tips... 1) wear gloves when dealing with cement or the next twenty videos will be about finding the ultimate hand moisturizer; 2) use a sander without any sandpaper to vibrate out any air bubbles

[@eiyela]

Yassss, those vibrations are the bomb for a smooth finish.

[@jojocatattack]

Flashing box is cute, but top needs edging so you do not cut yourself. I held my breath the entire time you were cutting it out!

[@kassk6383]

Me too omg! And because she wasn't wearing gloves. Stresses me out lmao

[@sallygardner7718]

Jodie Marmon same here. During the construction and even after. I can just imagine someone putting something in the box and their arm scrapes down the side. Goodbye flesh. Hello bloody mess.

[@lestranged]

I was thinking the same thing. Someone is going to cut themself on that top edge.

[@fernandaakemi9751]

Hi girls! Sorry for my rust english, but exists a concrete called white concrete here in Brazil, it's more expensive but when It dries became really white. Hope that I helped.

[@gerusheemax]

I liked all 3 DIYs. As an American, I appreciate the USD amounts you provide, but it wouldn't bother me if you shared pricing in your native Canadian currency format. Based on comments, I can understand the frustrations 😘. Personally, I preferred the door stopper in the concrete . Great recreations!

[@o0oMemorieso0o]

Please don’t do food videos ;; there’s already a huge abundance of those in KZbin idk I like the homeware videos the best

[@WHAATEVEN]

shi poo or... they could do both

[@bellajenna87]

yeah, I vote "no" on the food.

[@SeaLemonDIY]

I also fell in love with that CB2 marble door stopper and I bought one. I did wonder if it could be DIYed with cement, so I'm glad to see you made it! Plaster (or plaster of Paris) dries almost white and is similar to cement, though I think it costs more.

[@ShipperChick]

Aka Tin Snips. And ALWAYS wear gloves when working with ducting!!!!

[@emilyg7943]

Use Plaster of Paris to get a whiter and finer concrete. It's super cheep and you can carve and sand it before it fully hardens.

[@cupidangelwings]

As a canadian, I would much rather prefer if you put the prices for things/total cost in our currency (CAD), but whatever you two want to do! Loved the video 💙

[@ChristenRaquelAugustusraque]

GET SOME SAFETY GLOVES PLEASE

[@CreativityC0rner]

Christen Raquel Augustus For when they work with concrete? I didn’t know you needed gloves. Thanks!

[@laylasjolander2342]

Fl0werchild probably more for cutting the metal sheets so the sharp edges don’t accidentally cut your hands or arms.

[@abbys2211]

yea i use flashing and wire a lot for art pieces and i've gotten quite a few metal splinters and cuts, would definitely recommend wearing gloves, loved the result tho!

[@ChristenRaquelAugustusraque]

Yeah I was talking about the sheet metal, it’s very easy to hurt yourself on that stuff

[@susanpratt4061]

Was thinking the same thing and was cringing through the whole metal box segment.😧

[@vtheteenagewitch]

You guys should do a throwback video. Repeat some of your old videos. One of my favs is one from 2015 or 2016 - it was the ikea bar *Stools with the faux sheep rug. I actually made those for my kitchen because of you guys. Or the swing made from pallets. Those are older videos but are some of my favs. (I thank Darby Smart for helping me find you guys).

[@TheMoustachification]

TheValerieLorenzo yes!!! And improving them however they can! Making them easier, cheaper, more effective etc..

[@victoriaaamalia]

YES!! The wood headboard video! Dot hat one again! I'm dying for a good dit headboard diy!!

[@zoewebb8060]

Only the vlog fam would know there is a stain under the flowers on Kelsey’s shirt!

[@ciaramccullough6139]

no a creepy fan would

[@toni-symone5905]

[@Missbergdorf]

I came for this comment because I thought the EXACT SAME thing, it hit me how beautiful she was !! Perfect haircut/haircolor for her, plus the lipstick and outfit. Out of this world 😍

[@franzmendoza7466]

Oh yes. This is my second fave series. I AM STILL WISHING FOR THE ROOM MAKEOVERS SERIES. juhuhu

[@AlexandraGater]

Love that concrete door stop!

[@juliacosta7734]

In love with Becky’s outfit

[@mayuraxee]

how about using plaster of paris instead of cement for the door stopper...

[@tianatran382]

Love this series!! You should do Revolve/ Free People next! ❤️

[@jamieeberhardt537]

You guys need to name this series "sorry not sorry- that we duped it for cheaper!"

[@sallygardner7718]

Jamie Eberhardt LOL.

[@emilyplante9913]

You should do Target Decor!!! Please!!! Next video!!!

[@sarahgh9495]

Emily Plante No Target in Canada... they are canadian-based

[@Internetf4iryx]

target isnt in canada they live in toronto, canada

[@mallorycrosby9413]

Plus this series is to recreate expensive decor, target is already cheap

[@emilyplante9913]

Sarah GH oh darn :( forgot they live in Canada

[@bluecurlygirl]

Love the diys. Another great way to marble something is to dip it in nail varnish. Loads of tutorials on da tube on it. Also, what about using a large paint tub for the planter? It's work nice too and you could even go better than CB2 and add a leather strap!! Oh yeah, and you can get glow in the dark pigments for cement now too. Crazy stuff! Thanks for the inspo

[@Hoshiko9O]

the brush for the marble pot was too big , i wished you used at least a thinner brush and the one u were using (the artist in me was bothered lol) but yet i loved both of your DIYs

[@Hoshiko9O]

i meant the three of the DIYs

[@enduringbird]

A flat square brush would have worked better too!

[@Hoshiko9O]

yesss yess * artists high five*

[@PrimroseProject]

Using a feather as a paintbrush works too

[@stayshiny4775]

Another amazing video!!! But it might be a good idea to cut away from yourself when using the rotary cutter....speaking from experience here. I took the tip of my finger off because I was cutting toward myself instead of away when I was working on one of my projects. Thank you guys for all of your amazing content!

[@yenchiafeng1845]

So excited for another "that cost how muuuuuch?!" video!

[@AshleyEnjoli]

That planter 😍 Everything came out amazing. You guys always do amazing dupes. Im so jealous!

[@daniellehugs3297]

You did amazing on all of them !!!! I really can’t pick one you did the best out !!

[@jacquelynpotter9913]

Love the planter. The metal box is also awesome. The door stop is adorable. You two girl's are so entertaining.

[@emmaleepreston4962]

Love this series

[@marim0y]

Kelsey always creates the most amazing things. 😊

[@hunterj458]

You two are awesome. The planter was my favorite.

[@mochi_and_me]

Love that Becky's nail polish is the same colour as the material cutting wheel!

[@fuzzles93]

Becky’s hair colour is amazing

[@ssshampoo]

Can you do Canadian prices too since your Canadian based

[@CreativityC0rner]

carlycatpants I agree. Own your Canadian selves and give us CAD and metric.

[@Ash-xx5zd]

I am soooo in for your style right now! ... Becky your hair is amazing with those shirts and that sorrygirls rose t is amazing!!! ...best dupe is 100% gold box. But really like the door stop. Very cute

[@angieh.7434]

could you do something for back to school? Personally I’d like to see a video on diy dividers and pencil bags that can go inside of binders.

[@marya.1650]

Doorstop is my favorite. Loved how it turned out without adding any white!

[@Luci9322]

Loved your version of the door stopper much more than the CB2 version... your finish looked more natural and gave it a rustic vibe. I'd love to see you DIY luxury goods/clothing! I think that would be a really interesting challenge.

[@allthings8953]

Loved the door stopper idea 👍all came out great

[@cltinturkey]

How about duplicating Z Gallery products? I love the brass boxes!

[@Miateut]

Becky, you are totally giving me Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams vibes! 👑🐍 I have to recreate that look, you look amazing! For the DIY's I liked the planter the best. The gold leaf pant really put the cherry on top

[@dylanbrocato4660]

In stead of using ducting metal you could’ve used a wooden box and spray-painted it bronze that would’ve been a little easier and it might’ve been cheaper

[@sallygardner7718]

Dylan Brocato and not as dangerous. That metal ducting is super sharp around the edges.

[@dylanbrocato4660]

Sally Gardner yea thats right i forgot that she said it was sharp

[@awesomepawsomesocks]

Or you could use a wooden box as the base and then put foil paper on top so you wouldn't see the wood grain

[@julienov8084]

Yeah or glass, whatever you prefer

[@allyash925]

Dylan Brocato yeah I thought of that too. However, the box they were trying to recreate was made out of metal so to make it more like the original they chose that. So many DIYs are made out of the same materials so I thought it was cool that they used the ducting for that particular DIY because that is an affordable product that knowing about can give you a lot of new ideas for future projects!

[@ImCassy]

Casting Resin would work perfectly. It is finishes white and dries suuuuppppeerrrr fast! Also pretty affordable for resin

[@TheSorryGirls]

Great idea!

[@joselovesnailart]

Try using white grout!! It's the thing that goes into the tile

[@lizquartieri8288]

Y’all are amazing!!! Love your DIY’s they give me so much inspo and your style is bomb. P.S-what nail polish is Becky wearing?!? That orange 😱😍🍊

[@averyasato7135]

Quikrete makes a countertop mix in white, homemademodern uses it all the time

[@bumblekatz]

Loved them all, but the gold boxes were definitely a fav. I'd love to see more pet DIYs from you all, but re-creating "fancy" snacks would be awesome too (now I want some champagne gummies).

[@graysonhariri8606]

I love you guys! Your ideas are so unique and I also love how often you post. I love you videos and getting to watch a new one every few days. Keep it up, Sorry Girls!!

[@margothubert3130]

I would recommend using plaster of paris for the last DIY

[@hcmint4heart]

I love all of these DIYs but let me just say Becky looks SOOOOO good!

[@EmeraldWilliams]

The box turned out great!!!! I would love to see more metal work! So proud of y'all!

[@heatherthomas6639]

Definitely loving the platter the most!!

[@ashleyyybabexx1460]

Please stick to home decor and occasional fashion. No food please!

[@msdenise1234567]

I actually liked the DIY doorstopper way better than the original :)

[@sallygardner7718]

Denise M me too. And I preferred it natural, before the whitewash. It had more of that industrial look, but the rust marbling gave it a little extra oomph.

[@taylorlerma1997]

Love your outfits in here💗

[@minina3425]

Loved the first one. That pot looked beautiful.

[@hannah-kz1dy]

i'm in love with becky's outfit!!

[@l.lindkvistan]

That golden box was crazy similar to the original one! Just found your channel (omg how can I not have seen it before) and I'm going nuts here trying to come up with new ideas for the apartment with stuff I have at home or can find at the thrift store. Love your working space and crafting studio, to die for!

[@katjavissani5376]

I'd love to see a DIY Gucci Marmont belt bag!!! I love your style so much!!!

[@LoveOfArt87]

You should have added white paint to the other concrete. Love all theses ideas..

[@Tameinsight]

Something like resin to pour over the finished door stopper to give it that slightly marble see through effect

[@cowboy4187]

those boxes looked so good, probably your best that cost how much item yet. i was floored. just like that heavy doorstop.

[@krupab8619]

On the plant one, couldn't you use just the gold paint and just paint marble affect instead of buying the contact paper? Still turned out really good though! :)

[@sallygardner7718]

Krupa B in hind site she could have. She didn’t know the gold on the contact paper would not show so well, so she added the paint to make it look more metallic/shiny. She explained that in the video.

[@krupab8619]

Yeah I know, I was just suggesting it to save money from not having to buy contact paper :)

[@iabelanger]

Wow Becky this colour is the best for your complexion.

[@laurelizab12]

Becky!! That hair color and that lipstick! Yessss!

[@chol15]

Can you guys plz do a video where u shop for diy supplies blindfolded

[@mediocrelemon98]

For the concrete, Sakrete (and probably Quikrete) makes a concrete dye in a few colors. There's a color called Buff, which is more of a beige color, but it'll get you close to the white you want. There's also a terra cotta color which will make the red stand out a little bit more than the paint.

[@ashleysalvato3018]

LOVE THIS EPISODE !!!! also, can we talk about how cute and aesthetic Becky's outfit is???? and how the space buns look really great on Kelsey??

[@claireholder6247]

okay so you know how you did red-ish paint to color the concrete? you can add white paint to lighten it and make it brighter!!

[@vesantos26]

I loved the video, I really like the last two diys. I would like to see y’all do a themed video for decor. Like popular decor/clothes from different eras. That would be cool to see a 70s themed or 50s

[@TheHanification]

These ‘That cost how muchhh?’ videos are my absolute faves! You did such a great job 😊

[@johannalein37]

If you want to create a gold marble effect you can use a method of nail art. Take certain wrap and scrunch it together. Then dip it in golden paint, dab on a white paper to take of the first load of color and then dab it on your pot :) it will look so real and cool! ❤️

[@Mad.E]

For fashion you should definitely do FreePeople!

[@Mypokerbuzz]

Someone mentioned adding white paint to the concrete, which I think could work. You could also try mixing some white grout/mortar mix with the concrete to see if that would make it brighter. The mortar on its own is too soft and brittle to be a concrete substitute, but it may mix well with the dry concrete and still deliver the brightness you want.

[@Deeeebrawr]

The plant holder for sure was my favorite

[@tiana6586]

This is my favorite type of videos you guys do.

[@3996cb]

I love you girls! Could you do DIYs with fake flowers or dried flowers? like wall decors? So pretty and colorfull!

[@lucyserrano586]

I would love it if you guys tried to use epoxi resin to diy. I know that it's not really what you usually use since it's kinda expensive but I think you could do amazing stuff with it 💗.

[@lexisullivan4008]

Best recreations, do more decor stores like urban home

[@melmel1402]

For the doorstop: you can use dental cement and mix it with the normal cement. The mixture will dry more quickly and it will be paler depending of your liking and ratio you use of the dental cement ! or a more affordable way is to mix it with foot powder I tried both and it worked! Also if you want that creamy color add some pigments in your mixture (example: eyeshadow)

[@johnpau1485]

Legit my favorite series💓 you should do a recreation of tjmaxx or Marshall’s love ya

[@racheltate8726]

The nines trick got me!! hahahaha

[@aarjuchaudhary454]

You can buy white cement. In my country it is used to fix the wash basins and is super white. It will make your door stopper look exactly like the one you bought. Give it a try.

[@JessTester]

Everything looks so cute! I actually got a ceramic marble planter with a wood stand for only $6 at Walmart recently! It's so cute and SO much cheaper than the CB2 one.

[@OMGitsaClaire]

For white concrete: lithomex! You can get it in a ton of colors. It’s technically a lime mortar not a concrete but it will do the job. I know about it because I do historic cemetery repair and we use it all the time to match the color of stone when we do stone repairs.

[@toro8star]

The door stop is so cute!

[@nursyuhadayusoff7128]

I love the vase so muuuuuch

[@vintagelady1]

I really love the doorstop! To get a very smooth white concrete, use unsanded grout mix. It is also easily colored. I frankly liked the more rough-&-rustic look of the concrete you used, it had a look of stone that I thought was cool. I'd want the strap to be the same color on both sides, I think, but if not possible, no big deal, it is still an awesome door stop & possibly an excellent weapon in case of a home invasion/burglar! ALso perhaps for shot put practice?

[@danshachar7406]

Becky, there is a white cement you can buy. and for marble effect the concrete needs to be more runny then pb consistency, but I really liked the result

[@silvanacespedes9112]

You can buy admixtures to make your concrete different colors (red,yellow,green,blue,white), it's common to make concrete whiter since architects also like the whiter and bright concrete for exposed concrete walls!

[@danigarci]

Ugh this series is sooooo good

[@Cheye-one]

Love the marble door stop

[@Happyginger5307]

Tin snips & gloves!! If ad some sort of ribbon or something around the top

[@denisejohnsontc3131]

You can buy a powder to add to the dry concrete that will color the concrete. Several tints are available and relatively inexpensive. It can be found where you purchase bricks and other concrete materials. For me, that means Acme Brick. I haven't seen it at Lowes or HD.

[@janiceperla5506]

Great job girls and Kelsey the thing is cut the metal with are called tin snips
