[@amyciampa490]

So who gets to keep the chair? Your mum’s aesthetic looks pretty eclectic and fun. What a beautiful reminded of time making together. It’s eleven years since my mum passed and I just love seeing adult women together supporting and learning from each other. Danie, you really are something else.🤟

[@carolcurtis2220]

What fun. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful relationship with your mum. In addition to having so much in common.

[@DIYDanie]

She is the best 💜

[@deborahd4310]

Danie, I love this chair. I have a suggestion though if you redo a chair like this -- paint the chair with a clay based paint. If you put it on correctly, which isn't hard, it feels like canvas fabric with the material this chair is made out. Then I would use the cricut to make the stencils -- exactly the same ones you did cuz they were fantastic and then stencil away to sweetness with various colors of the clay based paint. I highly suggest DIY paint from Debi's Design Diary. She's painted a few different fabrics from velvet to a fabric chair. The colors are so intense that it actually dyes your fabric with the help of the mist spray bottle. I really think this would absolutely do the trick. I wish I could be part of it I love, love, love using that paint. Honestly I have no interest in making money from that paint, I wish I did, but I don't it is just a game changer.

[@stargzr]

Hey! Danie did something like this already FYI (with beautiful results of course!)! She used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint instead, but both brands are comparable. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGHal6eNo7Z-oMk

[@nadinekling]

That is a great idea, I think I am going to paint a chair, Daniel is always such an inspiration

[@lollylolly8186]

Was coming here to suggest DIY paint! Glad to hear there are other Shipwrecked crew out there! 👏👏❤️

[@hurst-cs2jh]

Hi Deborah, how are you doing?

[@gavinbiddiscombe1049]

I love love debis diy paint and I love mS debi and I'm happy you made this comment cause I was thinking the same thing

[@pattypeterson7947]

Next time try using fusible webbing/double sided fusible interfacing to attach the cutouts to the chair. Fusible interface uses steam setting on an iron. May work. So you can skip the fabric glue. You should be able to cut the webbing/interfacing on the Cricut as well. Love how the chair turned out!

[@TheNinnyBug]

The Kenobi shark stole the spotlight.... I can't deal with that level of cuteness!! 😍😍😍

[@deannaevans5235]

Great job Danie! It is very Folk Art. I have been working with wool in this way for nearly 20 years. Hand stitching pillows, table runners anything really. They were called Penny Rugs in the 1800's. It is a great medium to work with and these days many colors. Now I need to create something myself! Fantastic job, thank you for the inspiration!

[@HAGGISWOOMAN]

I wonder how this would work if you used the Cricut to make stencils and paint instead of felt would be more kid friendly for every day use? It’s absolutely beautiful anyway if i owed this chair it would be my “happy place”❤️👍🏻

[@pama.6410]

The chair she is copying had fabric on it which is why I think she decided on the felt. She could paint it but it wouldn't be the same style as the chair she was copying.

[@brittanywinn3955]

I thought the same thing.

[@denises9426]

Hey paint is a great idea 💡!

[@deborahd4310]

@@pama.6410 I didn't see the anthropology chair was it fabric on fabric (appliques) or just printed fabric?

[@pama.4849]

@@deborahd4310 We are looking at a picture on-screen but it sure looks like fabric on fabric. Seems to be applique.

One of my favorites that you’ve ever duped. You’re inspiring me to open my cricket for the first time. I’ve been so intimidated by it!

[@mindi.m]

Same here! It's sitting in my office staring at me. And I'm a graphic designer - it still intimidates me!

[@nancyberg6260]

Your Mom and You are Precious to see. And how the Pups relate. The chair ,no matter how long it lasts, is full of color. Felt has jewel like qualities. I am not sure painting fabric would be that brilliant. Maybe combination of fabric paint and Crewel stitches would do it. Thank you for going out on a limb to try. Gives us courage.

[@jocelyncharvet4585]

Ngl, I LOVE this chair! The colors are so vibrant! It has such a boho-maximalist-grandmillenial feel to it. 😃

[@jo4vt]

This was such a lovely project for you to work on with your mom, and the result was so beautiful and whimsical. I would love to work on something like this with my mom, and my daughter! You’re so good at editing your videos and explaining and showing the process.

This is 100% opposite from my personal aesthetic yet I still kinda love it. It's so cute!

[@DIYDanie]

Quilt would totally work! Could really vibe with the cottagecore trends happening right now too!

Yesssssssss! At last a North American DIY without any tiny bit of beige. I love you for that! Dunno why diyers make beautiful things and paint them in beige all the time. Worse, it begins to reach Europe now. When beige stuff scream BORING! your chair scream JOY, FUN, HAPPINESS! Love it! Thank you.

I'm usually so bored by other cricut sponsorships but you used it in such a creative and unique way (as per usual). Thank you for this vid!

[@WhiteRavenBookRook]

Oh Dani I watch your show and love everything you do, you're so creative.. this chair is over the top!! I just love it! great job.. great comments as well everyone.. thanks for being part of it all

[@hollyt6848]

Great job! I wonder if stitch witchery would have also worked as an adhesive (of corse if the chair and application material could withstand the necessary heat). Cricut’s small heat press should be small enough and hot enough to effectively bond the fabrics. Anyways, the fabric glue was also a fantastic idea!!!

[@mary78880]

The embroidered details really changed my opinion on this project! Very cute!

[@deborahfranks5]

I love this idea. I have some large floor pillows that would look awesome with this idea. I actually have those same chairs in orange… I will try this with them. Dani, you make me laugh every time I watch you. Thank you for this channel, one of my favorites!

Kudos to you and your Mom! I think this chair would be lovely in your guest room and contrast well with the dark walls. Hope you got to stay an extra day or two to your time with Mom in that beautiful setting. 👍🇨🇦⭐️

[@NinjaBooKitty]

I mean, I really don't know what could be more perfectly charming than felt. I honestly wouldn't want to see any other fabric on here, even if that means it really does have to only be an "occasional" chair. 😍😍

[@mollysmall8581]

I love your design and color choices. It's a lot of work and now you know why the original cost so much.

[@zoeemiko8149]

Oh sweet Dani! I've been wanting to redo a small settee & 2 chairs set I have like this! I finally finished reupholstering the pieces then they sat as the intimidation set in on the decorating like you did part. You showed me not only how to do it but how to do it well! You pushed through your intimidation and with the help of your mom.. made your chair spectacular & gave me the confidence I need. I love your relationship with your mom. I had one like it with mine & miss her everyday now that she's gone.

[@chrisdonovan4116]

Wow Dani you have done it once again. The chair looks amazing. You are so talented to be able to have an idea and create the project. Hope we can see more of your mom in videos. I can see where your creativity comes from. Keep on creating ….

[@mariahw653]

I’m obsessed with this. I WILL find a way to do this with my black leather accent chairs!!! You are the literal DIY queen!!!! 🥰☺️☺️

[@catlova567]

I feel like sueded leather cutouts might wear better over time, at least not getting fuzzy like felt? That would depend on being ok with using a leather product and would increase the cost Maybe if the starting chair was not already fabric? Also, I think paint and stencils could also work really well.

[@courtneyb.9281]

That was my thought - maybe upholstery fabric scraps? If you used quilting squares my concern would be that the glue would bleed through the fabric.

[@JenMUA]

Your final thoughts are so spot on. It can use some finessing but I LOVE IT!

[@genevievemurray7743]

After gluing on the felt, try hitting it with hairspray to slow the fluffing of the felt. Might work!

[@kklunker]

I absolutely love that you chose a yellow chair. It is so HAPPY to look at, cheerful and bright. You did a fantastic job on your chair!! It is every bit as beautiful as the Anthropology chair. Well done! I had no idea Cricut could cut felt. That is so cool. I would totally purchase a chair like this. Don’t we all have a chair we really don’t sit in. It just fits a space or looks pretty somewhere? At least I do! I’d happily re-home a couple of mine to get this beauty. Very inspiring! I do have a yellow chair. 😉 not nearly as cute as a shape as yours. But comfy. I’ve been considering getting a cricut for awhile now. I’ve felt intimidated too. But it’s really tempting me to turn my yellow chair into an “occasional chair”. It is anyway. It just needs to look the part now.

[@barbiezwicker3227]

I love my Cricut, it is an amazing machine. I love this chair, the embroidery definitely added that extra touch.

[@carmenbaby02]

I love the chair! What you’ve taught me are the possibilities of my Cricut. Your Mom is so cute!

[@ashleyreaume6486]

Omg I love it!!! 😍 next time you do a project like this try/ look into fuseable interfacing… you would iron it onto the back of the fabric and then iron it onto the chair and it would act like glue. You could sew or just tack it in certain places! 💕

[@starbrown1219]

Wow. Looks fabulous. What a lot of work cutting out all the pieces. Kudos to you on patience doing that.

[@Dlcltv817]

Adding the embroidery to the felt pieces really made it pop!

[@InannaLosna]

I truely didn't think I would like this chair because... well... colours (my aesthetic is, lets say, a bit darker). But, turns out I love it! It's so unique and it has some sort of folkish scandinavian vibe to it. Once again, great job; you're such a hard worker! I love your videos!

[@pama.6410]

This chair is awesome! Definitely think it works as an "occasional" chair. Wonder if there is some kind of fabric spray that can protect against the felt fuzzing up eventually? Kind of like a fabric shellac... So great that the Cricut can do all that cutting for you. Think the original chair is definitely worth its sale price. Look at your sewing skills now! That alone makes the project worth it! Those stitch additions took the chair to the next level. Think if we factor in the cost of your mom's sewing skills and the time, this was a tie price wise, but well worth the effort!

[@enolagranville3882]

[@lauriehunecke9509]

Danie it's BEAUTIFUL❤ You & Mom made memories & it turned out gorgeous!!!💪

[@violetflame88]

Agreed it looks pretty amazing, but I would use a cotton Twill instead of felt (a bit more expensive to buy all the colours), it doesn't fray and wears well. I would also use heat and bond instead of glue, which you can apply to the fabric before cutting with the cricket and peel of the backing before applying with an iron to the chair. I love the French knots and other stitches added. You can still do those and then rip the backing off .

[@RealmofRuss]

Chair looks amazing. I wonder if needle felting the flowers into the chair would have worked a bit better than glue? Need a lot of natural wool fibres and time but the repeated stabbing would be fun.

I bought this chair from Anthropologie and I used my birthday discount to save $200. I never saw it cheaper online. Where that $558 price came from beats me. It is comfy and a real show stopper. If you want to buy one WOW! piece of furniture for a room this would be it. It is so pretty, comfy and large enough to comfortably sit in and read or have a cup of coffee. The fabric is nice and soft- very inviting. the art work is stunning and the quality "shows". I noticed that there are three styles and i bought the mint based chair. The mint shows almost creamy or white- it isnt a strong color and that makes the artistic part of the chair really stand out. I am so glad I bought this chair and I will be returning to Anthropologie to see about purchasing a couple folding chairs in this design group. Very interesing chair!
