[@noniefuss]

That thing turned out wicked cool! I think the one dislike was Orville. What a creep!

[@1015SaturdayNight]

Voltaire, I'm so glad you have continued the series!

[@raemoore658]

I was waiting for a reference to burning it. I loved how it was Orville holding a lighter ♡ twas total Mayhem ;)

[@jaynesixx2185]

This is so rad 🤘. That fire part was hilarious and taking the wooden stiring sticks

[@GradyIsEpic]

"Next came my favorite part of any project, I painted the whole thing black!" My man really went the extra step with this. Good job!

[@TippyNorth]

"And now my church has shingles, just like Orville!" I actually laughed out loud at that one...you are a comedic genius. :D

[@kattriella1331]

His story about how he got this idea is so true of a lot of crafters. We see something and say, "Hey, I could make something like that, only I'll use it for this instead." Then voilà, you've got a wild new one of a kind piece home decor.

[@amethystsamia]

Now that's the kind of church I'd go to!

[@lindaosorio9535]

LMAO.....😁😁😄

[@laralicari914]

Yup

[@demongirl9879]

how dangerous was that shot with the fire?

[@thecrowsflyaway3473]

7:05 How to deal with your student loans

[@Aconitum_napellus]

It solves most problems I find.

[@suburbohemian]

I wish!! This goes even more for Parent PLUS loans!!!

[@fatihyavuz505]

so i found your channel from "night" song you made. I'm an ordinary person you know. I'm playing video games, eating when im hungry and sleep when i need to sleep. But you, you know how to live this life man. I'm not a gothic person but i love the theme and your skills

[@XombieRawr]

I can't explain how much I adore this! My dad is the reason I'm 2spooky and into metal...I think I may have to make this for a father's day present since he just moved into his new apartment!

[@zakmuzeam117]

Wow, Aurelio, you're a crafty dark wizard. Seems like you've been doing crafts for a thousand years.

[@23Dakini]

Nice, putting a little birdhouse in your soul...your black metal soul!!! Awesome as usual!

[@MorriganJezebel]

I kept repeating Orville's part! FIRE!!!!! ♥ It made me laugh so hard! and the final piece looks soo beautiful!!! ♥ This is a project I will work on the future on my new renewed and bigger room! n_n ♥

[@Jamie-dq8fu]

I miss the full episodes. They used to really help me get through Mondays. The project came out to be a much nicer night light than I was expecting. I love it and might add i to my room

[@xantyzon3702]

I would love to see more gothic homemaking presents. Straight forward and amazing.

[@FlexiiMcLexii]

I've watched the whole video through and I still don't understand how that's the same birdhouse from the beginning. Love this project 🖤

[@suburbohemian]

What an awesomely clever decoration!! Sara, my 12yo, will want to do one for her fave holiday, Halloween!! :) If the light doesn't scare the darkness away, the gargoyle should! They were created to fend off demons and other evil creatures...that's why they line old cathedral...not to mention how adorable they are! We have several small ones in our fairy garden and on the mantel. I can't wait to do this!! Thank you again, Voltaire!!!

[@armandosaldanamora9821]

Great project - plus we got our needed dose of Orville!

[@SweetBloodyBlackRose]

I usually stay off comments for stuff, but I've gotta say I love this!... It reminds me of something: My family started a tradition of making Faberge Eggs years ago, and I had made a black studded one. There was a little gargoyle figure I nested inside it, and I even used a similar grey-over-black stone technique for the stand. (since it is just a chicken egg) I don't think I could make it a nightlight, but this gives me ideas for adding to it one day!

[@SiiriCressey]

I'm with Orville on this one. FLAAAAAME!

[@AnnieNorthman89]

I love This! Now I want to make one!

[@maryhill4496]

The artistry you put into everything is amazing.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

Way cool, plus I love when you call Orville " fool!"

[@LasEnchiladas]

Such a cute black little project!! Absolute adorableness!! 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

[@purplejanew]

So inspiring!! I need some of that faux stone putty!

[@FitzyCify]

Something nice and simple to add a lot of character to an empty corner of the room. I love it!

[@inkdye9550]

This is always going to be one of my favorites. My sister watched this video and made me one of these, and I love it.

[@klemenator]

Hahaha that fire part was glorious! Varg would be proud.

[@Ccostly]

Once again, amazed by your creative genius!

[@daemondril7641]

This is exactly what I wanted in gothic homemaking, keep up the great decorating

[@animevampierangel131]

Seriously everything you make is on my list of things to do after I move.

[@miriamsantilo6159]

I'm living for the "cállate la boca" at the end.

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

Going to Michael's during the Halloween season is a great way to get Gothic decor. Skull pillows, skeleton hour glasses, black candelabras. It's awesome!

[@gothicmuffinofdoom]

It looked spectacular even in the shot. I really love it.

[@ashleydavis7165]

This inspired me to make one to put on a post for my goth garden. It look nice to all my black, dark red and dark purple dahlias.

[@AngharadMac]

I swear, of all the things you've made in here, and I love almost all of them, this one might be my favorite!

[@nettiekat6575]

My 10 yr. old and 4 yr. old loved it! Love your creativity👍😸

[@BathoryQueen]

I honestly enjoy these DIY projects more.

[@whiskeyburps]

love the leaves in the stream instrumental!

[@Leah.Something]

AMAZING!! I wasn't so sure about the plumber's epoxy stones at first, but they looked incredible once you painted them black and added the grey.

[@CajunRose]

This is perfect for a child's room! Just enough soft light to see by, the purple is not as stark a light white and creepy enough to be comforting. 🦇

[@Laurabeck329]

8:21 Rocky Horror Picture Show reference? Nice.

[@FieryAshes]

It is a really cool idea. I even have dollhouse shingles and really fabulous dollhouse victorian door handles. Hmmm...

[@ladystirlingknight2406]

🎶Why that looks so unique. Inspired!🎶 I definitely wanna make something like this. My family likes to do craft projects together every couple of weekends and I think this would be easy and fun for everyone!

[@KinkyMint]

My positive prayers have been answered! I dig this series so hard!

[@newbatling4194]

Hi Voltaire I'm from UK and just starting my GOTH journey, slowly (snails pace) transforming my home. I love your ideas and am watching your videos and using some of your idea's. Please keep doing the gothic homemaking, it's such fun.

[@paradoxrealm8781]

First! Finally! Oh Captain my Captain! SHANTY TIME!!! ~ What would you do with a gothic sailor!

[@ReiHino1987]

Oh my goth I love gothic homemaking so much, please never stop this series! This is a great church which would look very good in my appartment!

[@aninanimatedoll]

I love this!!!! And stirring sticks!!! I should have guessed! I knew they looked thinner, but I just assumed they were overlapped more or the bird house was much bigger than I was thinking. There's definitely some good ideas in here that I'll utilize in other projects too! 🖤

[@ofelice163]

OH MY GOTH!!!!! This is ABSOLUTELY my FAVORITE!!! So far... LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!! I gotta make one a.s.a.p.!! 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜

[@RyanG13]

ROFLLLLLLLLLL *Starbuck's employee*: "Hey, we really need to buy more stirrers, they're all gone!"

[@gabriellekatona4965]

I'm definitely going to try this project.

[@cooper3795]

"What's wrong with you, fool!!" Next episode: How to make a Gothic hood

[@Anmorataeah]

This is so cool! I've been wanting to transform some old birdhouses I found out in my yard, now I think I will!

[@ngozinnunukwe5680]

I love your attention to details.

[@wolfie7051]

I love that Orville is back!

[@melindaweasenforth1206]

Your asthetics are to die for...so to speak.... I love your genius and your channel 💯...I think I'm binge watching right now because I can't seem to get enough of your talent 🖤🌚🖤💯💖

[@batzl2015]

This one was one of the best featurettes yet! It was really funny and now I need to make one of these😂 (The BEHOLD got me😂)

[@888bjxjs888]

That was immensely creative. Love the details. Please continue to post videos!

[@MCRscperfangrc]

Thanks Voltaire, now all these goth kids are going to come into my work and take our stir sticks

[@dianefields295]

Oh I love your project with metal church. Frantastic! 👍🖤😀🤟🏽🤘🏼📱

[@VictoriaLopez-nc5op]

You knocked this one out of the park! A really creative idea pulled off awesomely. Also, happy to hear “Leaves in the Stream” in the background. That was my fave song off the album 🤘

[@candyalchemist]

Definitely working on this project next!

[@andreasigala8009]

Omg, this was awesome! Your nightlight church turned out spooktacular! You’re so crafty! 😃👍🏻

[@jemdemonbelle2097]

Hell, I just might make these for regular decor. Or a regular bird house. I can't believe I never thought of these before. This is amazing!

[@ladimelz2801]

Wow that came out beautiful

[@azurafae]

And now I'm also going to grab coffee stirs at Starbucks. Nice use of the Dremel. That cutting tool is tricky. I used it to hack the stake off a bat decoration for a vampire box project.

[@manatilove1]

Truly my favorite DIY series on all of KZbin and I'm not even goth! Love you Voltaire!

[@CathyCrothers]

what an easy satisfying creative project! Thank you!!!

[@kingcornelius865]

Great, I haven't even seen this video and I am yet euphoric!!!

[@karstenvonfjellheim5321]

Cute. I had forgotten to hit the bell, so youtube didn't add this to my list of new videos.

[@ngozinnunukwe5680]

I love gargoyles. Beautiful.

[@nomdeplume2213]

God Damn thay looks amazing with that wall decal!!!

[@DrVein]

Absolutely adorable

[@KimchiYeo]

amazingly creative

[@klingonsexy]

Damn, I love your creativity! I could make a similar church that would be great for housing a Bluetooth speaker to play some.... black metal!

[@kas8157]

I made this myself.It looks awesome!

[@praised03]

Plumbers epoxy should sponsor your craft videos. 😂 You should have added some hot glue drips creeping up the side of the church to look like vines, like it had been abandoned for some time.

[@nomdeplume2213]

Hot glue works well for the lil bricks as well. Ohhhh and battery operated fairy lights, they also come in purple, work fcking amazing for crafts like this!

[@missshooks]

Omg I love black metal!! It's really cool that you are incorporating other dark subculture inspired things into your show. It would be cool if you did something psychobilly themed eventually 🖤.

[@darktwistedwitch]

This is definitely an excellent idea, very spooky and artistic!! And props for the Jack Skellington reference ❤❤ but this is definitely something I wanna try :D Thank you again for posting this!

[@FilthySoapCore]

All those details!

[@midnightmistress406]

I missed this so much but now I'm happy that it's back

[@asneakylawngnome5792]

Thank you very much Voltaire for proceeding to make these magnificent videos for us to enjoy. I also use a lot of your tips and ideas in my daily decor! I've loved you since I was a kid and heard you on Billy and Mandy just for you to jump into my favorite game Adventure Quest! I love how you've never changed who you are throughout the years as well. You're a gift man! ❤️

[@judithvillegas6662]

This is so awesome, unfortunately I’m not a crafty person. I wish I was! It’d be cool to have a contest and see the creations of other people inspired by this video!

[@jenlincoln7687]

Absolutely stunning. This was a great idea! Thank you for sharing!!

[@poipoiparty8427]

That turned out amazing!

[@katcoffman3293]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Now I want me to make one.

[@EMarcengill1]

Another great episode of Gothic Homemaking. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to more episodes.

[@CrimsonSerenity]

Love the project. That is one awesome kick ass little church. I had also missed Orville Deadenbacher. So good to see him again. LOL! 😉🖤

[@sora3mo168]

Hot diggity dang ma dude, seems like I can finally set a birdhouse suited for a lively graveyard.

[@suededogs9670]

Voltaire, you are so clever 💜🦇

[@MiaMaven]

Lmfao!🤣🤣🤣🤣 holy hell I almost choked on my drink I was laughing so hard at orville deadenbocker setting the church aflame 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖤🔪💋🙌 love your videos

[@MoonDevi963]
