How Not To Make A Gallery Wall (also I'm directing dodie's next music video)

[@jakeverbeek]

the fact that the "you should go follow Sammy by the way, he's really trying to grow his channel" is still in here after over five years is truly impeccable.

[@TheHazelHayes]

😏

[@LabradorIndependent]

genuinely my favourite recurring gag on this website

[@lucys4500]

What is his channel name please?

[@ginime_]

The way hazel slipped it in without looking up actually made me wonder if she was being serious this time

[@timonmeisel7561]

This made me proper lol. I did say that, yes.

I want to see it really bad!! :D

i quite literally started responding and saying “mmmhmmm” because i really forgot it wasn’t a facetime call and i love that

[@TheHazelHayes]

LOVE THIS

[@madeleinedegrace1282]

omg when she went to go check the food, exactly yes

[@sofi-vv1fr]

as someone who's also currently figuring out how to properly decorate my room, this video came at an exceptionally good time

[@TheHazelHayes]

Well that’s handy!

[@eveprice1209]

I’ve recently redecorated my room and we did a gallery wall (well, more of a print wall than a gallery wall) and I ordered a personalised text print with an Out Of Love quote - “in one of the colourful plant pots in the corner of the balcony, among the brown, dying leaves is a sliver of green. ‘Remove the dead leaves, cut them right back. It’ll feel like you’re killing them but you’re not. You’re just getting rid of what they don’t need to help them grow.’” - it’s honestly so beautiful and I love it. Anyway, I’m going to enjoy the rest of the video now :) I hope that you (and anyone else reading this) are well x

[@moammonster_Jess_]

I love how it doesn't matter what the video is, the video is always 'listen to hazel gush about movies as if she's an old friend who's popped round for a cuppa'

[@imaginationlord]

Okay so tip for anyone doing a gallery wall: cut pieces of paper to the size of the frames/canvases and tape them to the wall, that way you can figure out the layout and also work out where to put the nails easier (measure where they need to be on the frame and mark the paper, put the nail through the paper and rip it off to hang the art

[@shnoozezzz9752]

Hazel saying "i suddenly became really aware of my toes" made me hyper aware of my own toes, i feel like this will lead to a outbreak of mass hysteria about toes.

[@dob1997]

can confirm, mmade me think of my toes

[@ThePurpleBoom]

This is good background noise as I work and clean my own room. Also, wow, I'm so early you feel like a small creator here.

[@TheHazelHayes]

I genuinely love being background noise. Enjoy!

[@hannah4228]

During these pandemic times I like to watch videos like this to trick myself into feeling like I'm socialising

[@lolamaria2255]

This is a very funny, but sad comment❤️🤭

[@amyjane13]

i’m in love with the random content that comes as and when, and for me always at the perfect time 😌

[@TheHazelHayes]

I’m so glad! I much prefer making stuff when I really want to rather than trying to keep a schedule ☺️

Thank you to Josh for his jumper sacrifice (willing or not) we love youuuu

[@ameliedring474]

campaign to have Hazel do a TED talk because i would pay good money to watch her just ramble live

[@evercuriousmichelle]

It’s too late now, but for others, I recommend cutting paper the size of the frames and marking where the hanging part is. Then you can play around with the arrangement and visualize everything before you put a ton of holes in the wall. Credit: Ariel (Try Guys Ned’s wife)

[@ferniekins87]

I was going to say this! I used old wrapping paper.

[@annekab9380]

Thanks that's a great idea 😊

[@chasepeters6853]

I wonder if living with Hazel is like this 24/7. I'm both fascinated and overwhelmed at the same time.

[@gonza-fish5280]

Nice videos my friend. I love hazels videos. They bring me so much calm and joy.

[@thewriterinthelake]

i love these videos so much. i'm usually writing while listening to them and they feel like a friend just talking to you while you work and it's really nice.

[@TheHazelHayes]

How lovely ☺️

[@phoenixrising2937]

Spot on!

[@emmajwilkins]

That quick, imperceptible cut between you going to do the broccoli and coming back was classy as fuck.

[@freyatewnion241]

I love how much this genuinely felt like being on facetime with one of my mates! Just the 'oh hang on, let me check on dinner', and very cosy, conversational vibe. I am sooo excited for the music video! Also love that 'Sammy's trying to grow his channel' is still a thing, a very needed giggle right there.

[@cassieroo17]

I always love these vedisi style hangout videos they’re so warm and happy, I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend ☺️💕

[@sylvan44]

i put this on to answer the emails i’ve been hiding from and it made me feel safer💛 thank you for making such good company videos

[@Tommyboypsp]

I love when you talk about directing because you're so passionate about and excited by it

[@RuRuWebby]

What's the word for when someone comes to sit with you while you complete a task? Not to help, just to be. Cos this is that

[@TheHazelHayes]

There should be a word for that. And thank you.

[@xxbookiexchickyxx]

It's called body doubling. It helps me and my partner a heap.

[@kieran163]

my family calls it being companionable, and i love it.

[@aadam4642]

My hubby and I call it moral support lol. Not sure if that's the correct term

[@ursasanderson8742]

I love hazels videos. They bring me so much calm and joy. I was having a rough day, but this has helped immensely.

[@ninclarke4445]

i’ve literally just finished painting my room for the first time along with gloss work on the door and skirting and now figuring out how to decorate so this is perfect 😂🥰

[@jkcatsmeow5225]

I'm really stressed right now because I need to finish writing a monologue that could make or break my course grade (and by default, my entire theater degree as well cuz college b like that) but this video was a lovely little break for my mind. there is something about listening to you talk about nothing and everything at the same time, that is just so calming. so thank you for helping me destress just for a little bit.

[@nicholasgibbons]

Happy for you getting the pictures. Our minds love to make us thnk things are so much more involved and larger than they really are

[@lotty-jane]

Nothing I love more than your videos Hazel! You’re literally the big sister I never had. Anyway very much looking forward to having this playing while I go about work 😂❤️

there i am seeying Hazel puting up her pics on the wall enjoying all the storys behind them (smilled on the first one cause lost in translation is also one of my favorite movies, and also wondered why did it opened with that specific scene) then arrive to minute 20:28 and start laghing about half of 48, so thank you for the laugh! and also enjoyed the video you directed from doodie as well as human that is one of my favs from her :D all the best to you and the pics and please do make sure they are all straight on the wall ^^ unless that was on purpose :D best reguards from Portugal

[@sarahgarciaclaustro3314]

I love these kinds of video, it’s like we’re hanging out or something. And I love your voice a lot

[@Ruby_Nightmares.They-Them.]

My 2 tips! 1. You can cut out the size of the pictire frame and mark where the hook goes on the paper then blu tack it up, pop the nail in and take off the paper 🙂 2. You might also want to use command strips, less permanent so you can easily move them around and all you have to worry about is getting them hung straight! Much love ♡

[@jacquihollyhead]

Yes Hazel!! Looks so good 👏🏻 colour scheme is delightful :)))

[@staticbeast]

Watching these videos feels like I just have a good friend over chatting to me while I get stuff done :)

yayyy! gonna see if I can make this background noise while I work or if I end up just paying attention to everything you say (more likely), also I really love that every word of this title is capitalized but the dodie section is completely lowercase 😂

yep lol i paid attention the whole time; the wall looks so nice!!!! and it was so interesting to hear about all the cool different artworks and film inspirations and thoughts behind them! very excited to support the fuck out of the music video :D

i'd describe this video as: a woman thinking she wasn't capable to do this thing but then did it anyway and did a damn good job of it! found it kind of empowering to be honest.
