Get Your Craft On! - How to Make a Lighthouse w/Terra Cotta Pots

[@BuckCalabro]

I was searching KZbin for some ideas on making a model lighthouse and found this video. Not really what I was after, but the humour and production quality were so good that I watched it all. Liked it, too. I appreciate seeing several different attempts to get the look Miss C wanted. It would have been very cool to see it in its entirety, but I certainly got the idea. Subscribed!

[@susanhallamado]

Fantastic idea and I know I will be making one. It would have been great if we saw the finished project thou. I will be using flameless candles in mine and a purchased lantern from Ikea.

[@marybrennan7341]

Loved your video and I really loved your sense of humor ❤️ ♥️ 💜 😄 💕 💖

[@karmakellylee]

I'm thinking I might need to make this for my gardens....a couple of them actually. I have to look at solar lights maybe.... glad to have you back lady!

[@jamworkout5183]

Love your sense of humour and awesome talent! :)

[@judyfiebig8304]

I may try this one. I love light houses. You have such a great sense of humor.

[@donnalynn2]

Wish I could see more of you actually making it and a full shot of what it looked like finished but you cracked me up! Am subscribing!

[@rambowsempei]

...TARDIS mailbox... What not TARDIS lamp?! :D So making that. And this lighthouse... Why didn't I think of that?? Love it!

[@GallopCrush]

Good video and will come back more more.

[@susansarver9552]

Love the purple Dahlias.

[@carolroth2016]

Love this ❤

[@MissCraftsAlot]

@@carolroth2016 Thanks! Sorry that there isn't a view of the final product, though. If I remember correctly, that last little bit got lost "on the cutting room floor". :(

[@ktjwilliams]

cool .. traditional paint job for mine ..

[@williamterry3177]

This would have been so easy, paint the pot bodies white and the pot rims red, the top cap black, add some stenciled windows and a door. Perfect!

[@barbaraoday9141]

Nice but I think I would like to secure each pot with some kind of caulking an maybe just use a solar light at top instead of electric.

[@a626mazda]

you are a hoot! I loved watching the video.. thank you .

[@raundar2886]

Very creative....a must try...

[@Kittymonty]

I absolutely love it! Can't wait to make one for myself!

[@lordcoyote2000]

Great job and that is a cool looking light house. I'd love to see you create a Dr. Who TARDIS mailbox.

[@kathyschwennesen6166]

nice to have seen end project WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE!!!!

[@jillmurray2929]

what does it look like when its done

[@womenhelpingwomen100]

Looks great!!!

[@vincewitengier9736]

Clever, just what I was looking for, really liked the video... You make it interesting and entertaining.. Love the honesty, not that all projects don't go the way you expect but you make it real. How all my projects go. I should give up but I'm to damn stubborn. Hey, I try.. Dang, now I have to check out your others.. Sigh

[@tammylovescats]

Nice. I love it

[@kimskeslien4262]

this is so cool now i am going to make me one

[@bluetintin8290]

Love that diy great job

[@canadaverydry]

Fun idea !!! More videos please!!

[@willieboy8798]

i like the idea.. put a solar panel for power and build it for the edge of the swamp..a few boaters have hit it inbound to the ramp. perhaps provide the bats with some grub insects. total coolness thankyou for the idea!!!

[@maureenp7082]

I am going to try using a solar lamp that you use for walkways. Might work....also yours would look nice as the "cement" look that you were almost doing.

[@threeandthee]

It is a good idea, but Would have been nice to see the finished project

[@csnievessings]

Loved this; would've lotto see finished product and lit.

[@lorettamurray7648]

Liked what I saw but would like to have seen the whole lighthouse at the end.

[@mickieflagg1224]

I also watched your video on how to jazz up a table top with fabric..you didn't show the finished product in that one either..it would have been nice to see the lighthouse in its entire length and lit as well..you are so much fun however,, and a great sense of humor..very enjoyable..but show us the finished product please!

[@BellaDemera]

Please, show more of the project you're creating.

[@Woodie19766]

will be doing this one over the next week or so.. going to try and figure out a way to put a spinning mirror around the light bulb :-).. well maybe LOL

[@paulab1957]

Great idea, but wish you would have shown more of the project...only the upper part of you and project was shown...Plan to give it a shot

[@Thunderheartwoman76]

Yay your back :-). Great video to bad i dont have a garden.

[@dillhawk16]

I was wondering what approx cost for making this lighthouse would be? very nice

[@MissCraftsAlot]

For the pots: small, medium, large approx 5, 8, 12$ (depending on where you find them), scan the free section on Craigslist for garden pots. It's a great source for the budget crafter. The outdoor lighting kit was kinda spendy.. about 30$. To be honest, this project was a kind of fail for me because the light I purchased needs an accessory that's to be purchased separately. If you choose can electrical garden light, there are no worries about electric shock or anything, when used properly. However, you can avoid all that by getting one of those solar powered garden lights. Some are pretty darned powerful. The craft paint is about 1.50 for a small bottle at Joann or Michael's. Make sure to get the indoor/outdoor kind.

[@sherryclayton1292]

Pretty

[@firefighterno1]

Nice idea but my concern is that the pots are only balanced on top of each other and not secured very well. They could easily topple / become unbalanced in a moderate wind.

[@williamterry3177]

She mentioned but did not show that she is using E6000 adhesive to glue them together. I would just use construction adhesive available at the hardware store or Lowes, Home Depot....

[@jamesprickett3043]

I wish i could have seen the whole thing

[@Ricky039]

like the video,wife saw these online now she wants some lol think the're gonna be driveway markers and prob. front porch"she collects lighthouses" and I do crafts,any art and tattoos lol

[@Earthgal1964]

Wish you had shown the whole thing in the daylight. 😃

[@Greyp455]

I might make one of these for me and my dad. How much approx is the total cost?

[@Almonsma]

Yes...we needed to see the finished product all lit up at various angles at a distance...and how the plug was done....the project felt unfinished for the veiwer. Also the camera should have been pointed at the project itself a lot more....although she is delightful.

[@sherryvaughn189]

I like the craft project. Just wish there was less music and more showing of the painting and putting it together.

[@wafflezthegreatt]

can you use glue

[@devinewine007]

looks kewl .......but im focused on her hair roots need a color :) love the lighthouse!

[@rosep8230]

I like the idea, but it would have been nice to see the lighthouse while it was being painted/assembled instead of the camera being fixed on the instructor. I would have also liked to have seen the entire finished project, not just the top layer and would be nice to see it lit up.

[@williamterry3177]

Come on Miss C, post some pictures of the completed project in your comments section, It has been 5 years, is the lighthouse still around your property?

[@ceciliamatos22]

Thanks for making this project fun Yo … but I rather call the sponge “Bob”. I enjoyed your sound effects as much as the project and YES … I’m going to make one and YES … I became a subscriber! ♥️

[@salmarsalmar]

good instructions but, could be really good if camera further away....want to see all the lighthouse....frustrating as great project otherwise!

[@jacobarmstead8440]

i really thought that was cool im gonna try and make one

[@diamondhair11]

Why didn't you show the finished lighthouse? Also, it would have looked better red with the black lantern....Would have subscribed but there's just something so weird about someone who acts goofy like this....I just wanted to see how to build a clay pot lighthouse.

[@billflying2977]

Just use a solor light. Lot cheaper!

[@andrawmidastar7063]

Nice craft idea. I was disappointed that I could not see the entire finished product and not just a portion of it on the screen. Video could have been cut down about 50% without all the extra comments tho...but really liked the idea!

[@101curlywurly]

where is the finished item????????15 mins of my time wasted

[@lighthouseworshipcenter3748]

Wow, I glad i sitting at the doc office waiting if not it would have been a good wasted 14.36. but like you have a camera man, why is the shot so close, and yes no finished product no sale sorry. thumbs down all the way.

[@yupiayupia6806]

right fire the camera man

[@nataliehuber1561]

Train

[@lightningmacqueen4097]

1st of all - Incandescent light??? What is this, 1946 post-war Germany? Use LED lights for goodness sakes. 2nd - Instead of taking the time to dye your hair purple, please just hit them gray roots next time will ya. I was trying to eat cereal for gosh sakes and that sooooooo grossed me out.

[@michellebryant5577]

Your life must be miserable , didn't anyone teach you, if you have don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?

[@ea3125]

Maybe if you weren't trying to be funny you would have remembered to show the product...

[@lisahernandez3462]

What a hot mess .
