3 tool suggestions that will speed up this kind of work and give better results: a rotary tool (commonly called by a brand name Dremmel) but any brand is fine for crafts. There are dozens of different attachments for them (cutting, sanding, engraving, carving, etc). A rotary tool will dramatically upgrade your craft game. Also get a hole cutting set that attaches to your drill. It’s basically a bunch of tuna can shaped attachments with a sawtooth cutting edge. You could cut the hole out of that bowl perfectly in seconds with no chipping. Third-DeWalt makes a great cordless hot glue gun-check it out. Btw very clever work-love the ideas.

Can I just say I love your calm demeanor. No extra chatting or over acting, yet you still are super personable with where you struggled and laugh at your self. I've watched so many halloween DIYs at this point but yours I could watch all the way through without fast forwarding because you didn't have all the unnecessary stuff. Easy clear directions. 👍 Great Job!

I'm a little concerned that those skeleton hand hangers won't hold up, i'd reccomend putting a screw into the arm from the back side of the plaque to anchor it and make it a little stronger than just hot glue

Given that what she put on them is less than a pound, it's fine, but any more weight and she's gonna need more, but screws may not work with the shardy plastic they are made of, I'd suggest drilling the hole completely though then taking an iron or craft burner and melting the cut end so it creates sort of a flange style plug instead

I suggest using a primer for painting on the plastic as it doesn't always adhere properly or stay nicely on the object (unless paint has the primer already in it) typical acrylics don't have a primer in them so if you want to use the decor for more than a season , the primer will make the paint last and look nicer! I hope this helps:)

Great halloween tips, although i would say they will be more than $3 because you need to buy the paints as well, rustoleon paints are quite expensive. Love the ideas though!
@krissymichele2 жыл бұрын
She only mentioned the crystal ball costing $3 to make. So I’m not sure what else you’re referring to when you say “they” and she wasn’t telling us exactly how much it was going to cost us. But rather sharing HER cost with us and naturally, if you’re new to DIY’ing and you don’t have these standard types of materials already on hand from previous projects, than yes it’s going to cost you a bit more initially. But factoring in the cost of a few drops of watered down acrylic paint ( @ $1.40/color) or a 1/4 can of Rustoleum (@ $4.58/can), isn’t a realistic expectation- If she were to do that, she’d then have to factor in literally everything she used. From her 1/4 yard of scrap fabric to the batteries for the led lights, the glue sticks...the glue gun itself, etc. etc. I think she’s smart for keeping it simple... After all, this is a DT DIY Video. So sticking with the items purchased from DT, is both appropriate and reasonable.

@gowiththeflo87423 жыл бұрын
Are you up for another suggestion ? : Pick up a tin can, watering can or whatever you find from the dollar tree or salvation army that is made of tin/metal. Put the item in a plastic bag or/and plastic bin large enough for the item to fit inside. Take an old towel and some vinegar. Pour vinegar onto towel and then wrap the tin item with the towel. Let the item sit either in plastic bag or large bin/bucket. I prefer wrapping project with towel then putting it in plastic bag and then putting that in a bucket or large plastic bin depending on size of diy. The towel should not be drenched/soaked in vinegar, but just enough for it to be wet. Let it sit for 6 hours minimum. Remove item from towel/plastic bag/bin/bucket/wherever you put it in. You will see that your item will no longer be shiny but now galvanized. You're not done..lol. Get some dark brown or maroon paint color. I usually mix a brown with a red to make a terra cotta color. I usr acrylic paint. Remove the excess paint with a rag. The paint will be absorbed in the galvanized item, but even more in those areas where the tin got more 'galvanized' by the vinegar. I even indent & scratch my item on purpose and sand it a little on certain areas before this process. Make sure to put towel on the rims of your item. This will make your diy stand out after you paint/rag. For more of a galvanized effect, let the item sit longer in the vinegar. P.S. I actually dilute my paint with a little water the first time I brush it on. But for a more intense aged look, I go right in certain areas with the paint directly, but I still use the rag afterwards regardless. Hope u try it 🥴
