I have to be honest I'm tired of the haters. If they don't like what they see why do they watch the video. Just to post a nasty comment. You never claim to duplicate anything another artist makes. As you explained to us to make it our own. I love your dupe videos

[@brendademyers5093]

I love your dyi's

[@dorannalcove4446]

Love your videos and your personality! LOL you kill me! Just received my first TDS order (rub-on transfers & Birdsong papers) The huge owl paper is beyond amazing! Thanks for teaching so much and become a better crafter.

Oh Brandi… once again, you have absolutely MADE my day… your humour, your style, your creativity and your class are second to none!!! I mean that from the bottom of my heart. ( oh dear am I sounding like a groupie from the 70’s?? ) don’t answer that because you are far too young to know the answer to that question. Just take my word for it… I am 🙄😂😂 Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs’n luv from Ontario, Canada

Girl! Those transfers must be one of a kind!! To be able to stick to wax, it’s an amazing transfer! Girl, I have trouble getting iod transfer to stick to wax, so I’m AMAZED! I’m so happy and proud of you for having your own products!❤

[@Chatty-Cathy823]

I know it’s beautiful before you even start. I’m so happy I got my order today because I didn’t want to clean house this weekend. I was totally blown away when hubby brought the mail in and told me my order was delivered. I have to wait at least 7-10 days usually but when I saw it was delivered I started jumping around like when hubby gave me my wedding ring (and at my age it is dangerous 😂). And now you’re giving me ideas that I can use. Thanks for ALL you do! ❤️❤️❤️I hate working with moss. So yukky! I don’t have any patience for bows. I use rafia- a regular tie and I am always looking for reasonably priced ones on Amazon or Walmart. Yeah for being a city girl I could always get them at the craft stores but now we are in the too-lies 😂❤❤❤ thanks again. And know that you and your family are in our prayers ❤️❤️❤️

[@thediystruggle]

I am so happy you are happy!!! Girlie, I am totally in love with the candle projects right now...lol

Girl just a little tip just seal the wax first before putting on the transfers. Makes it so very much easier.

Hey Brandi girl, you are so talented, I loved the candles, especially the one you painted, I just love lilacs!!

Thanks girlie!! That little sucker turned out really cute!!

[@denisefelton8427]

You've made me so curious about the candles. I want to try some all three ways. 😊

[@thediystruggle]

I had a few people say pop mod podge on there first then do the rub on transfers!!! I need to try this because I am absolutely obsessed with candle decor right now

[@mariaTsounakis1521]

I loved your recreations!! So adorable!

[@RedQueensJubileeClub]

Love the candles. I really like the way hand painted flowers look on glass or candles. They have a vintage look that is always nice. I’ve been to the struggle website and ordered some transfers. It’s been a while since any rub rub rubbin was done in this house, and it shows. Some people have a name for cutting the picture up close. I’ve got scissors with big handles that seem to keep the cramps at bay. Or find a 7th grade girl to do it. Just don’t yell if she messes up. 😊. Isn’t inspiration seeing something that gives you ideas of your own? I always figured inspiration was not necessarily to replicate as much as it is to create our own design from the inspiration piece.

[@thediystruggle]

You are absolutely correct about the inspiration!! I just like to remind people that on dupe videos because I get some comments that it's not exact. So, I always try reminding them it's inspired! I love vintage, so I'm totally glad it's your cup of tea!!! I hope you love the transfers!! So far all the feedback I have gotten has been amazing!! I hope you feel the same 💙💚💖❤️

[@susanhaggart3675]

Love them all. So nice and a whole lot cheaper. Yes I hate moss too. I worked with it today in my craft room. It gets everywhere. On me the table the floor. LOL> 🤣

[@thediystruggle]

[@jodit1]

Love all your videos. I think i might try using battery candles since i give gifts to those in a nursing home where lighted candles aren't allowed. No reason to give them any ideas about trying to light a "decoration " only candle.

Hi brandi diy donna here love them just beautiful girl those transfers are good one to be able to go on wax need to order they are beautiful

[@Tobywedinikki]

I would rather go to Lowe’s n get my wood. Would you mind telling me exactly what I needed to buy please. Thank you. As usual you hit it out of the park.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@thediystruggle]

I do not frequent Lowes, but I do Home depot I get 1 x 6 x 4 in the pre cut sections. They are 4 ft long. And about $8 bucks You can get then unfinished and finished in longer strips which are slightly more expensive. But, still a great deal for DIY and cutting down. This is a go to fo me when I'm building items!! I hope this helps! Sorry it is not Lowes. I am not as familiar with items and prices there!

[@Tobywedinikki]

@@thediystruggle thank you so much . Yes it helps me a lot.

[@thediystruggle]

I am doing a wood video friday!! Your comment inspired me to get back into more wood crafts.. hope you enjoy everything

[@Tobywedinikki]

@@thediystruggle thank you thank you!!!! I love watching you working with wood. It’s my favorite. My 2nd fav is decoupage n rub on transfers on wood n other items. You check all my boxes for the best creator on YT. I’m 66 with health issues but as soon as they get my pacemaker correct I’m heading straight to my power tools n start creating items you have taught this old lady to do. I will be counting the days. Lowe’s is the closest store to me but Home Depot that’s about 30 mins from me is my favorite store. Pam Bell from Nashville NC

Sorry but people that are selling on Etsy make their crafts. It’s okay to make them your own but don’t put it on social media. You’re stealing there income

[@thediystruggle]

I have talked about this before. The greatest form of flattery is imitation. And, I have even had a few from etsy message me thanking me for featuring their item. It brought people to their site. So, me showing their name and product brought them traffic and finacial prosperity. I never ever claim any idea is MINE. AND, also express how many are better. Also never tell anyone NOT TO PAY those prices. Because, I myself sell my CRAFTS. I am also a vendor and sell at an art market. I am fully aware or the financial time and energy it takes to create handmade pieces. So, appreciate your input but I look at the glass completely different then you. And, I know some of the sellers do as well! Showing others how to create crafts don't devalue someone's abilities in who they are as an artist. KZbin, Tik tok, IG is full of artists constantly sharing their skills and selling items. People purchase things because they believe in the individual they purchase from and enjoy their talents and skills. Since the dawn of time people have been recreating items they see like many famous portraits are imitated but the value in the initial artist work doesn't depreciate because others want to duplicate it for one reason or another.

[@loribuening4345]

Nice

[@alisonjohnston6936]

I'm sorry for my comment however Brandi never tries to take away from anyone's ideas or creativity. She gives input and inspiration to all of us. So please keep negative comments to yourself while we all enjoy her talent, creativity and humor! ☮

[@jackifinland1470]

Wow, this is a great channel and the negativity is not needed or wanted! Brandi, thank you for always being you and sharing great ideas!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@RuthH-wh5qw]

And really.. do we know that the items being sold on Etsy are original ideas? I doubt it very much. As crafters, we share and build on others ideas. Some sell at craft fairs, Etsy or have their own websites. A little competition keeps one honest…as the old adage goes.
