DIY Gift Ideas - Part 2 (Sewing Projects + More!)

[@esmeedesi9027]

Hi I am from the Netherlands where speculaas ia from. For the speculaas, the mixture of spices is 8 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp cloves 2 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp koriander seed powder 1 tsp anise seed powder 1 tsp ginger ¾ tsp cardamum. You can skip the koriander, anise and cardamum if you'd like. You can use this mix aswell to make a hot drink or in cakes. Add as much as you like to your baked goods. Preferred is to leave the dough in the fridge for two days before rolling out and baking.

Love your idea to use a decorative glass to stamp the cookies/biscuits 😃 And the shrink wrap tubing on the shoelaces makes them look like the real deal! Well done 🎉

[@Darenim]

I'm Dutch and you cannot imagine what my face looked like when you said 'speculaas'. Awesome!

[@RoseryApparel]

Hehe I’m half Dutch 😄

[@londongirlno1]

Using the bottom of a glass to imprint a pattern is such a genius tip -I'm gonna do this on all my holiday biscuits now!! Thank you for the awesome ideas :)

[@KuroGetsumeiYami]

TIP: If you want to avoid your paint from bleeding through your masking tape (it happens) start by painting your first color to let it purposely bleed (but it won't show 'cause it's the same color) and then paint again without removing the tape in between! That way the secondary color lines should be looking a lot sharper since you already bleed through the tape with your first color, block the second! 😁👍

[@RoseryApparel]

That is such a good tip! Thanks for sharing! I’ll be doing that next time for sure 😄

[@Darenim]

I'm definitely going to try that, thank you!

[@BrightAsAButton]

I have a friend who loves everything shabby chic, she will love some ruffled tea towels, thanks Janelle for this inspiration. PS: Who doesn't LOVE speculaas? Thanks for the recipe, yum! Cheers, Simone

[@RoseryApparel]

Ooh yes she will for sure 😍 Speculaas is my all time favourite! x

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Those shoelaces are adorable. Thanks.

[@MsBubu26]

The bottom of the glasses for the cookies is a clever idea! 😊

[@becca2525]

I love these DIYs! Also I had no idea that heat-shrink tubing existed - I used to make my own laces for my Converse when I was a teenager, but I just used a bunch of regular sticky tape for the ends, which just about worked, but looked a bit messy and wasn't very strong... I will definitely start making snazzy shoelaces again with the heat-shrink stuff, so THANK YOU! x

[@annicerader6021]

I love seeing these cute gift videos. I always hate doing gathering stitches. I end up breaking my thread and end up hand stitching my gathers. Handmade shoe laces? Omg!

[@RoseryApparel]

Yeah it’s frustrating when that happens. Good quality thread is a must when gathering! 😊

[@madelinegrudens]

Great gift ideas and very unique!!

[@LavenderMilkshake]

I always love these videos - but the shoe lace tutorial is the coolest thing ever ❤️ I'ver never seen any kind of similar tutorial so far thanks for always sharing these! :)

[@stephaniecarbno]

I'm going to have to try those cookies for myself. they look so good! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us. :)

[@ediedoodle]

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you for watching and for your support this year! 😊

[@renuverma8590]

Woooooooow 👍

[@susankidd9963]

Loved this tutorial great ideas thank you keep them coming.

[@carjen121]

Love all your great ideas💕👏🏼👍🏻

[@patriciak.2719]

Love all of these again! Thank you! Fun to see you make speculaasjes, I am Dutch and did not know this name is also used on the other side of the world. 🤩

[@RoseryApparel]

My dad is Dutch. They aren’t common here but we (my family) love them! I personally love them more then gingerbread at this time of the year 😊

[@Darenim]

@@RoseryApparel Wow :D I didn't know you're half Dutch. If you mention it somewhere in a video, there might be a small explotion of Dutch followers coming your way, because we are secretly a hive mind.

[@lidysjardijn]

Can confirm, we are a hive mind! ;)

[@Veronica-iz6fw]

Thank you so much for these videos! You’re an amazing creator 🙂

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you so much 🧡

[@ZedCh-b2n]

Merci. Merci. Ma. Jolie

[@cziegle3794]

Yay first like and comment. Love your channel

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks for watching 🧡 x

[@FoD1975]

Such pretty ideas, thank you. I live in the UK, and have never heard of those biscuits (or maybe we call them something else?!) but they look so good - definitely going to try them! Great video! Deb x

[@aebbingeable]

They are typical Dutch biscuits! I think they travelled to Australia with the refugees in de second world war. Really surprised me to see them there, because they arent the most famous cookies we have

[@RoseryApparel]

They aren’t common here in Australia, but I’m half Dutch so grew up eating them! 😄

[@aebbingeable]

@@RoseryApparel nice! Did you learn Dutch as well?

[@ChristinaMayoAR]

Score! More ideas💚

[@RoseryApparel]

Yay I’m glad you like them! 😊

[@deannajohnson3933]

I think I might make shoelaces. I forgot that was a thing.

[@paulavandieden8609]

Late to the party today, have a lovely Sunday :)

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks for watching lovely! 🧡

[@amyyy.y7157]

Are you going to make more parts? I really like this series :)

[@RoseryApparel]

That’s it for this year! But I did share some last year you can scroll back to and also my 10 minute sewing projects have lots of ideas too 😊 kzbin.info/aero/PL6cBXnc3RaLkZ9FKzOSuSlWxPIU2Pzd5_

[@Becuador7]

Hi janelle - great video! for the ruffled tea towel ruffle piece, is that meant to be 100cm instead of 10?

[@RoseryApparel]

Arg yes it is! 🙈 Thanks for picking up on it, the measurements in inches are correct at least!

[@hollykimball]

what brand hightops are these? they are so versatile with so many of your dresses. so many of this type of shoe have metal colored rivets...i like how yours are white.

[@Partkom]

Does the free pattern contains sewing allowances? Thank you

[@hippiegirl5828]

Cool xxxx

[@LittleBulleteye]

I just love your homage to the Dutch culture! 😊 Do you have relatives in the Netherlands?

[@RoseryApparel]

I do, but I’ve never met them. Would definitely want to see them when I eventually go to the Netherlands though 😊

[@saraho9836]

Hey janelle, I’m looking at making the ruffled tea towels, but I’m a bit confused by the measurements of the rectangles. The larger rectangle 40x50cm then the smaller rectangle is 8x10cm. Should the smaller rectangle be double the length of the larger rectangle width so it can shrink down with the ruffling?

[@LifewithMe-40]

Wow ❤️

[@ellylin8116]

Where do we buy 5 mm clear hose (sorry I didn't catch your voice when you mentioned that) in Sydney and can you write it down the name please? I really like your channel . Thanks alot.....

[@ashleykirkham4181]

Will the tea towel pattern work with cotton or does it have to be linen?

[@RoseryApparel]

Yeah cotton will work too, maybe the thicker the better though so it can still absorb moisture etc 😊

[@hannahbuciu9160]

I really loved these ideas and the video! They were so simple but would make amazing gifts 😊 Did you buy the dry flowers you used? Where did you get them?

[@RoseryApparel]

I found them at a florist 😊 Because they are so on trend at the moment most florists should stock them, otherwise you can find them online too!

[@lauriepayseur5897]

❤️

[@joyceks1882]

what does the rectangle thing called?

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

You make this look so easy! What a thoughtful gift to make and give.I would love to receive this treasure. I make Diy videos on my channel too. I think we could both learn a lot from each other. Keep in touch new friend!
