[@tinaavery4720]

Christopher you have such talent. Looks like a vintage pumpkin from the 1900's. Thank you for sharing this idea.....

[@gayle9915]

Christopher you are so talented i want to thank you for not playing crazy loud music while showing your talent of creations!! I could watch you all day, you have a calming voice! You have a gift of talent!!

[@debbymccormack6525]

I couldn't agree with you more about the music. Some of these KZbinrs have no idea how to put music in without destroying viewers eardrums, lol

[@noellemorel7280]

So true!

[@MakingItMyOwn]

[@julielyons9180]

I am hooked. I can't stop watching your videos. As I stated in one other video of yours my birthday is Halloween. I was just searching on You Tube for some Halloween decorating videos and yours came up. I can't even begin to tell you how much Halloween stuff I have. I have collected over the past 35 yrs. Department 56 Halloween decorations, I have 10 foot tall mechanical Frankenstein, Dracula, Bride of both, I have mechanical Witches, and so much more. Unfortunately I just down sized from a 4,000 sq ft house and moved from NY down to Fl. I have been keeping all my stuff in storage, but I am afraid I am going to have to sell most of it because my home is much much smaller. I have a mechanical Dracula that sits up in his coffin and his eyes glow red. This is truly going to kill me to sell my collection. I am so glad I found your channel you have such a wonderful eye and touch for everything you show us. Please keep these wonderful videos coming. I also have vintage decorations from the early 1900's it is so much fun!!!

[@anissarubio2291]

That's very nice. It's like a a spooky antique .. like the fortun teller character era. Remb that game or like the movie BIG . Lol nice

This is the most clever way to upscale a vase for Halloween! Using the tissue paper method there is a plethora of designs that you could do and you can even cut out tissue paper with a cricut and do this method. You never fail us! We are so lucky to have you! You bring so much joy into our lives wow thank you so much for this awesome share!
