DIY Gift Ideas #1

[@bellamena]

OK SOOOOOO. Just so everyone knows. KZbin is telling me the video still "processing". I have made the executive decision to push the video to 6PM EST!!

[@va1e3ie]

That’s ok

[@ToomuchIzzy]

Wow

[@victoriadarling9220]

Is there any way to turn the earrings into clip on earrings?

[@almapensola4423]

That iPad case was genius! It was actually so simple that I can imagine myself doing it! I would love to see more cardboard videos

[@bellamena]

Also, "Art, makeup, fashion, Netflix Fan" actually requested an ipad case...when I was already making one!! hahaha 😂

[@Chefzuri]

Can you do a giveaway when you hit 2k subscribers?

[@bellamena]

@@Chefzuri ive been thinking about it!! I've got to figure out the rules for giveaways first though

[@Chefzuri]

Hi I’m the girl from Instagram! Go check my channel out please! It will help my channel

[@sassafrasandscraps]

The Dollar Tree has been carrying some really nice different sized wood plaques lately. You’re very creative and so talented! Your painting is awesome and the earrings are just too cute! I look forward to seeing a lot more DIY’s! I would love to see some more cardboard creations. And also, painting the business card really made the earrings look like they came from a cute little shop ♥️

[@bellamena]

Oh that is true! The dollar tree does have nice plaques, thanks! And thank you for all the compliments😁 ❤❤❤

Hi Marissa! I would love to see more earrings ideas! You are so creative

[@bellamena]

Hey jessica! Thank you😄😄

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I think the iPad case was awesome, but my favourite and in my opinion the most personal was the plaque with the flowers on it. It was so perfect for the person it was for that I think it's the best. I loved the decorated tin and the yellow earrings too. You are so creative Marissa. God bless you and your family.

[@tinabilledeaux1510]

Your friends & mom are lucky to receive beautiful gifts. My fav is the box or the plaque.

[@bellamena]

Hey Tina! Thanks ❤❤

[@hannahpluslaura]

So creative👍Question: why is your channel name bellmenna if your name is Marissa? Also what do u use to edit your videos? Thanks!

[@bellamena]

Hey!! It's a long reason haha!! I answered it in more detail in my Q&A video. But basically I just think it sounds pretty, and i always wanted a channel name that could be an artsy one word pseudonym for me! Kinda like Zoella or PewDiePie's channel names. For editing I used to use iMovie, but I recently started using Final Cut Pro😄

[@hannahpluslaura]

bellamena oh ok thanks! I watched the vid

[@sanriofanxoxo]

Can u please paint on hydro flasks? I have actually seen Moriah Elizabeth do this and they turned out so cool! I bet yours will turn awesome!! 💖💖💖

[@bellamena]

Hey! Thanks for the idea :) I actually have a hydroflask that I ordered to customize months ago and I just haven't gotten to it yet!! I will definitely be painting on it eventually haha 😆

[@dudestop_9828]

Wowww these are sooo cute (btw I am oneinawaffle_ haha) also I want to give a bit of critique so the thumbnail you can clearly see it was badly cropped out so mabye work on that and make the thumbnail WITH OUT using a green screen and just make it look good yeahhhh or mabye put a white line around the cropped pic it will look way better (the actual vid is amzing though)

[@bellamena]

Hey, thanks !! ❤❤

[@edilol9844]

Hi 🥰 night it’s “mod podge” not “marge podge” not hate just a correction I think

[@bellamena]

Hi!! Hmmmmm. Thanks, I'm aware it's mod podge though❤. I think youre probably just hearing my accent?? Not sure😅

[@skyh2751]

Fav idea the box!! Love it reminds me of a mermaid I liked and subbed would love a shoutout

[@bellamena]

Thanks Sky!! Thats so true it does kinda give off mermaids vibes 😂💙

[@esthermchugh5123]

Hey i just watched this video.. I loved all of your ideas!!! Sad that you stuck the lid to the base of the round tin.. I was looking at it and was like why not use it as a base for a character that you make.. it definitely screams ballerina or fairy or butterfly or even dragon.. the beads around the box scream ballerina/butterfly/fairy/ mermaid.. Would love to see that box become a complet masterpiece considering its lost its propper function as an actual container.. i mean its already a masterpiece but you know..

[@bellamena]

Hey Esther!! So glad you like the box hahaha I was also sad I glued it shut LOL. I think it would be a great theme for a character ❤
