I Tried Rug Tufting For The First Time

HELLO FRIENDS!! As a chronic craft content consumer, I've always wanted to try tufting my own custom rug - so we headed to Freestyle Ceramics & Tufting in Chicago to attempt to conquer the art of rug tufting!! I wept, I cried, my arm died - but at the end, I think I finally got the hang of it - and ended up with a cute midnight sky blob design. What do you guys think of our rug tufting creation? And what craft should we try out next??
Big thank you to Erni and the rest of the crew over at Freestyle Ceramics & Tufting in Chicago! You can check them out on Instagram here: / freestyle_ceramics_tuf...

I always wonder how many people go to the places Saf visits after she releases the video. Do the businesses just experience a bit of a boost for a few weeks, or does it like explode their customer numbers? Or do they hardly notice anything at all because most of Saf's viewers don't live anywhere nearby?

[@nicholem4831]

It shocks me how few people understand how content creating works. Basically everything you see is tied to something else. If there’s travel- it’s multi faceted. It’s not just a train trip. Of course they have things planned along the way. They need to maximize their time and activities. Especially THIS channel which is irregular and sporadic with its uploads, so they need to do as much as possible during their travel so they have plenty of options for videos. Plus- write offs. It’s a better write off if a whole video is done about it. Travel for the purpose of work is a business expense, but travel as a video concept is an even better write off AND makes money. It’s not complicated.

[@rosedebaene5321]

Safiya and Tyler have convinced me to start taking myself out to do things and try them even if they might seem mad at first, and it's a beautiful thing! Because of them, I got to try flower arranging, ceramic painting, and SO many more things

[@mayjailerxx]

[@anothershortclip]

I love how Saf is now the second person I've seen say that the rug is too pretty to use as a rug after spending hours creating it! Nerdforge was the same. Shows how much effort and artistry goes into making the product and the love of it.

RIGHT?!

[@lemmetalkaboutthis]

I love that even when you're not really all that good at something, you keep going and going and get better and don't let little hiccups stop you! Especially as a recovering perfectionist/former gifted kid, it's really motivating to watch you do new stuff and film the process, showing off the end result even when it's not perfect. A lot of people who make a living posting online would rather lie about having done something by themself or not post anything less than perfect results, so you guys' videos are a breath of fresh air.

Every one of these "I tried" from Safiya just brings me joy. She goes into things with such gusto and eager-to-learn energy that even if she messes up it's fine, it's okay, it's not a big deal. She bops right back up and tries it again and Safiya really is wonderful for that.

I really, really enjoy watching you try stuff you're interested in and stuff that we all seem to see on tiktok or in shorts or whatever. I think you do such a good job with giving the crafts a good try and I enjoy watching you make whatever it is you want to make, even if it's not something I've ever had much interest in. And I wish when the try guys discourse was happening about what should they be "trying", I wish they'd take a page out of your book ♥

We used to have so much fun as kids. My mom taught myself and siblings rug looming, crochet, macrame and embroidery. We learned canning, cooking, making food from scratch, painting, food dehydrating etc.. Seems our mom could do it all really and she often taught others as well. We sure miss her.

AHHH THE NOSTALGIA. I have been trying to remember the name of Kid Pix for YEARS now. Tyler, you've solved a decades-old mystery! I loved playing Kid Pix Studio in first or second grade. Wow, the nostalgia! I found an older in-browser version and totally went on a half hour rabbit hole playing with the tools (and finally figuring out a bunch I never understood when I was little). My kids are going to have so much fun with that. The rug is so cute!!

Been there, friend. My sincere sympathy. Those are some great channels, and I also suggest the wholesome livestreams from The Click and OneTopic to help fill the time when you can’t sleep, but also need a mental break from the stress. Some are more energetic and chaotic, but some are chill and a friendly, supportive voice in the background, and they last for hours like Evan and Katelyn’s live channel videos, so you don’t need to engage and make decisions for the next video if you don’t have the energy for that. 💜

I was sad. I checked for your videos because I wanted to forget about my trouble for a while, and I saw new video's out...feels like the universe throwing me a bone.
