[@AnneClay]

@@annadee8725 thank you Anna!

[@NinaPeery]

I like the look of the cinnamon on the deer so far. A mix will look great.

[@AnneClay]

@@NinaPeery yes thanks Nina!

[@soal3415]

Couple of cuties you two! Loved watching! I allways gave my stuff extra coatings then ended with an outer modpodge coat. I take used coffee grounds and dry them out and use them . Nice..no waste! Thanks for sharing sweeties!

[@AnneClay]

@@soal3415 oh wow. Used ones. Never thot of that! Great recycling!

[@17Gendron]

Cami is absolutely lovely!!! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!!! 🦌🎄🌟🎄🦌

[@AnneClay]

@@17Gendron thank you! You too!

[@tscarletespin2261]

You crack me up Anne! You and I are so much alike in our “lack of graceful crafting”! 😂 That being said, I always love your brilliant ideas. I always get great inspiration and ideas from you. P.s. I bet your daughter was sooo thrilled when you brought in additional candles to prim up! Lol

[@AnneClay]

@@tscarletespin2261 haha she took it well

[@Lynda-iw3to]

Loving that you are doing these craft videos.

[@AnneClay]

@@Lynda-iw3to thanks!

[@barbaradzitko1826]

Very cute. Easy too. I prefer the cinnamon over the coffee.

[@AnneClay]

@@barbaradzitko1826 I did some with both and rather liked them too!

[@janbusby6562]

Love these ideas and the mother-daughter crafting! And both you and Cammie look AMAZING!!

[@AnneClay]

@@janbusby6562 thanks Jan! We’re trying!! Takes forever to lose weight!! Ugh

[@janbusby6562]

@ don’t I know it!! It’s a daily struggle for sure!

[@AnneClay]

@ for sure!! We don’t cheat but the weight doesn’t want to leave either.

[@robinrhea6125]

She is a sweetie, Anne!

[@AnneClay]

@@robinrhea6125 thanks Robin!

[@carmenmontmarquet706]

Thanks for sharing these great crafts! You both did a great job! Looking forward to more videos from you two!

[@AnneClay]

@@carmenmontmarquet706 thanks Carmen!

[@susanc31562]

Nice to see mom and daughter enjoying crafting together. Makes me miss my mom since I had boys. You can still add craft paint wherever you want to cover any white showing after a layer of mod podge on top of the dried spices, you can also dilute the paint with mod podge to make the paint more translucent and grubby up the candle tip too. The deer are beautiful and you would pay so much for those in a store!

[@AnneClay]

@@susanc31562 oh I didn’t think of adding mod podge to paint. Interesting!

[@judymelchert3966]

The candles came out cute with the orange slices, nice idea.

[@AnneClay]

@@judymelchert3966 thanks Judy!

[@barbaravanderklay5059]

Nicely done. I like the coffee candles. !

[@AnneClay]

@@barbaravanderklay5059 me too!

[@juliefahrne9094]

Loved this video, you and Cami have lost so much weight, you both looked so festive. I'll be making the coffee candles for sure. Yes a crafting with Cami video now and then would be wonderful.

[@AnneClay]

@@juliefahrne9094 thank you. She loves to craft.

[@debbriggs5811]

Fun watching the two of you together crafting. Great times! I think you are hooked! When I was young lots of decorations were covered with a velvety type substance of Whites, greens, and reds.

[@AnneClay]

@@debbriggs5811 oh yes and I remember my grandma covering a styrofoam cone with macaroni and spray painting it gold.

[@joannetaggart4136]

Love the reindeer! But Ive been into deer. Love them. ❤️

[@AnneClay]

@@joannetaggart4136 deer are cute! But boy they were not so easy!

[@joannetaggart4136]

Hi Anne and hi Cami. It's a delight to see you both. ❤

[@AnneClay]

@@joannetaggart4136 hi Joanne!

[@nitamay3534]

I mix coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pickling spices together to make candles.

[@AnneClay]

@@nitamay3534 that sounds wonderful!

[@catherinegreenfield2194]

They’re adorable!

[@AnneClay]

@@catherinegreenfield2194 thanks!

[@mikeandheatherpruitt1037]

I love the crafts you've been doing I've made the candles with both coffee and cinnamon so they looked grungy and smelled good I used the technique on real candles also what a great mother daughter moment! Love it!!!❤❤

[@AnneClay]

@@mikeandheatherpruitt1037 it’s a wonderful Christmas moment:)

[@stephaniemeadows6796]

Murphys oil soap is good to clean brushes just let them soak till they get workable and wash

[@AnneClay]

@@stephaniemeadows6796 interesting! I always used ivory soap on my oil paint brushes.

[@terrilynch9328]

Clever ideas! I’m enjoying your Christmas content!🎄🤎💚❤🏠🦌

[@AnneClay]

@@terrilynch9328 thank you so much!

[@dellahayden5606]

So happy to see you both today ❤ not sure if you have a price rite near you or an ocean state. You maybe able to get your cinnamon cheaper. Please do more crafts together ❤you both make me happy 😃 to see you both. Have a wonderful day today ☺️🎄

[@AnneClay]

@@dellahayden5606 yes Ocean State is much cheaper and Cami gets a discount so then it’s really cheap… but she was working and I needed the cinnamon so I caved.

[@catherinegreenfield2194]

Maybe spray the reindeer first with brown/tan before applying the coffee or cinnamon. I bet your place smells wonderful. Good ideas.

[@AnneClay]

@@catherinegreenfield2194 yes I figured that out halfway through.

[@elainesoltesz]

Love you two. I have a few suggestions foam brushes, or brushes from $ tree. Candles with silver base can be bought at $ tree also. Big bottles of cinnamon are there too. Check their ribbon and fabric. Happy crafting. Happy Holidays!

[@AnneClay]

@@elainesoltesz oh yes dollar tree is wonderful!

[@teresaford8906]

Ok so here’s an idea! How about if we get to see both of you cuties weekly for a prim craft! Ha? Ha? Whatcha think?

[@AnneClay]

@@teresaford8906 haha you like that?

[@teresaford8906]

@ love it! You 2 are too cute! 💕

[@darleneguerin427]

Many crafters use a combination of coffee, cinnamon and ground cloves . Gives the item a lovely fragrance and texture. If you want to be sure that the mixture stays , mod podge over the top of the initial coat after it dries. Also, it is MOD, not modge. Enjoy your prom content.

[@AnneClay]

@@darleneguerin427 thank you Darlene.

[@bonniemiller9197]

When you rip the fabric the first time, it will give you the straight of the grain and it may be thinner at the bottom as it finds the straight grain. Rip again and the piece should be the same the whole length. I also like to coffee stain or tea stain the fabric for a more worn look. Woven fabric will give you the same look front and back instead of printed fabric. only on 1 side. All personal choices of course, but just a little fyi. And I love them. Will try them. Merry Christmas to you both.

[@AnneClay]

@@bonniemiller9197 such great tips.

[@dawnsawyer4275]

Love this so easy I have a few to do . Can I ask where you got the candles with the black bottom . Thank you Ann and Cammy

[@AnneClay]

@@dawnsawyer4275 hi Dawn. I bought them at Lowe’s.

[@PaulaSokolinski]

If you pounce a coat of MOD PODGE over the coating when dry it will seal it in, You can also dip the flame in melted yellow or orange melted wax.

[@AnneClay]

@@PaulaSokolinski thank you Paula… good tips

[@grannytrace4094]

Your so much fun! You both look fantastic

[@AnneClay]

@ thank you!!

[@robinrhea6125]

You could do spray glue outside, and then bring in and sprinkle the cinnamon on the deer

[@AnneClay]

@@robinrhea6125 that’s true… I actually thought of that but it’s been raining for days here. Brrr

[@missbonimeduridesidns1793]

I think if you mix the coffee and the cinnamon and dust it onto the Mod Podge candle then when it dries you go back over it with mod podge and when that dries it will be sealed in and it will look much more grungy.

[@AnneClay]

@@missbonimeduridesidns1793 good suggestion!! I left it alone because I didn’t want to seal in the smell however when I go to store them I’ll probably go ahead and seal them too.

[@catherinegreenfield2194]

A sifter might work for coating the deer..

[@AnneClay]

@@catherinegreenfield2194 oh that’s a great idea!

[@cindyk4294]

Kami I hope you don’t mind me saying, you lost weight. You’re a beautiful young lady and you look great! Thanks ladies for the craft ideas!

[@AnneClay]

@@cindyk4294 you’re welcome.

[@AnneClay]

@@cindyk4294 she’s worked hard to lose that weight. 5 months carnivore.

[@beckyporter9091]

Mix the coffee & cinnamon together

[@AnneClay]

@@beckyporter9091 we actually did that for the rest.

[@Annette818]

A tip from another KZbin I follow, dog pee pee pads... I use them for so many things!!!

[@AnneClay]

@@Annette818 ah that’s a good tip!

[@Annette818]

@AnneClay and, I love yours and Cami's craft! Love the candles and reindeer are really beautiful!

[@catherinegreenfield2194]

Ann be careful of your ties getting into the cinnamon.

[@AnneClay]

@@catherinegreenfield2194 lol totally too late for that.. Tom spilled chili on some of My ties too.

[@catherinegreenfield2194]

@ 😄

[@mariacybulski1175]

I did not like the video, to sloppy work and I do not think the cinnamon or coffee will stay on

[@AnneClay]

It's still on - but before I store them for the winter I'm doing another coat of mod podge - I just really like how the coffee looks. I do crafts here the way most people would do crafts - I think it's more effective to give a true picture of what can go wrong.
