Lol this would be a great indoor nightlight for my girls bedroom too

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Oh yes! That’s actually a great idea

Seriously I want to stream in this lighting lol

That’s exactly what I was thinking! So cute

It's great how your tutorial is on point. From starting to safety to ending. It's not messy. You have this patience in teaching. It's not rushed. The camera loves you!

Thank you so much Niko! 😊

@Isaac Alexander: All I can say is ***WOW!!!*** That last 1 minute of footage in the night was spectacular! Great job buddy.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much Clinton, yes it was truly spectacular at night. I appreciate the kind words and for you watching

[@rosiecarlo5242]

The bag suggestion is great for those that dont want to have to mess with taking on and off, you can place bag on the tie with a zip tie and cover with a cute bow over zip tie and it looks like the cotton candy u can buy at holiday festivals

[@lapayamps]

or for the rain also.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Exactly! Love these tips

[@sargecooper462]

Made the candy canes and this is next! Thank you for the easy to follow videos and explanations and especially the safety warnings. Much appreciated!

Absolutely not how I thought you were going to make the cotton candy. This turned out so well. I'm addicted to these videos.

Thank you! Originally I didn’t know if it was going to turn out good but I guess it did

[@terrimcfarland1152]

Love the leaf rakerupper guy in the back ground!!

[@jamieverley]

I decided to take these on this year for a Gingerbread House Christmas theme, and couldn't find the blocks. What I DID find was a big foam cooler on the side of the road! Since it was large, I scaled up to 1-1/2" PVC for the stick, and since I was inserting into a hollow space, bought a 2" coupler as a pass-through for one end of the cooler and a 2" cap to glue inside (so the stick is stationary) and then hot glued the whole thing together. I used 3 strings of 100ct lights and the same spider webbing, Buffalo Snow, and spray paint, will set up with a slightly smaller pvc pipe cut on an angle to hammer into the ground. Thanks for such a great tutorial! :)

[@staytooned-designs5915]

I absolutely ADORE them!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you 😊😊😊

[@jujub4553]

Love these! Sooo smart to start with the spider webbing to cling and hold and then finishing with the Buffalo snow! I know you talked about covering them with bags when it’s rainy; one year when I made a cotton candy costume I used a crystal clear giant bag and tied it off with a big proportional ribbon and bow and it looked great. I think you could easily bag these in giant crystal clear bags and tie them off with a nice ribbon and bow and keep it bagged instead of exposed if someone lived in a wetter climate. Awww loved seeing your hubby raking leaves in the background 😂

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

This is a brilliant idea. Do you have a link to these crystal clear bags?

[@edna6779]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY sometimes the Dollar Tree has really big clear ones. I know a lot of people use them to put really big gifts inside them and I've bought a clear gift bags. They have them in medium and large. I love the cotton candy and gingerbread people you made in different video. Would you ever consider making the cotton candy ones and selling them? I'm asking because I was in an accident and I partially paralyzed.

[@rosiecarlo5242]

Lol sorry i hadnt read any comments and made same suggestion

[@melissaavendano7354]

I thought they were already beautiful during the day.. but wow, at night they are spectacular!!!😍💙

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! It’s magical

[@wrench92]

When covering the cotton candy with a clear bag, put a nice bow on it. That is a way to make it look as if it is final packaged. Then, there would be no need to take the bag back off, if one did not want to.

[@benjaminnnkt]

I loved them during the day but omg so obsessed with them all lit up at night!! id have to come once during the day and again at night for the full effects!!! so good!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

You should see them in person. 🤴🏻

[@teresasmith224]

I second that wow, you are so genius coming up with great ideas, thank you, thank you.

Haha we get so many leaves! Haha Thank you for watching my projects

You can even use floral pins if you want them to be less visible on the sides

[@changeshifter4852]

Another hit! I have three little nieces that will love these. It'll have to be wrapped in plastic and tied like a treat (as I see someone has already mentioned) to survive the snow up here tho 🥶

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I’m glad you like it and I hope they really enjoy it if you end up making it. Yes definitely wrap them in plastic

[@angelawillis4789]

The Dollar Tree bags, typically used on gift baskets, would be perfect to cover these with. The best part is you can use a hair dryer to heat shrink the bag to the shape of whatever you put in it.

[@lechatbotte.]

Cotton candy here comes in pale blue and pink. l love this it’s so clever.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks!

[@trevorschaffer9173]

Fun project! A great companion to go with your candy canes. I was thinking about how you could make big Easter eggs like this.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you!

[@KrazeeKraftZ]

I made large Easter eggs with expanding foam in a large 2 piece mould I found somewhere, couple of years ago so don't quite remember where in Australia, possibly Spotlight.com.au didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped as hard to control and gauge the expansion to keep the mould together and get the correct shape, some turned out elongated, others were only half! I spray painted them with neon paint and the looked great hidden around my front yard, plan to do some more one day!

[@soldiersofchrist1907]

For the base, you could use a cardboard box and fill it with the expanding foam to form it into a block.

[@monikalopezzz]

So I’m last minute going to attempt this for the xmas decorating contest (gonna check Tractor Supply for that foam block) but my one question is, how necessary is the spiderweb material since the buffalo snow goes on top? Can I skip that or no?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Hello Monika, so sorry for taking so long to reply. KZbin doesn’t always give me notifications when people comment. Not sure if you made yours or not but the purpose of the spiderweb is simply to hold things in place while you work with the snow blanket. I’m pretty sure you could do it without it, for me it was just easier

[@zontzooit2415]

we were gonna do a candy land theme but we couldn't order these gum drop shaped chicken waterers from another country because of issues so we decided on candy cane theme instead but wow this just makes me want to do it it even more

I would most likely take the snow blankets off and buy new ones to replace them. Lights will eventually go out so I’ll just need to replace the snow
