Part 1 Embellishing a cabinet case for the

Hello Crafty Friends,
Thanks so much for watching, subscribing and liking my videos!
Today I am embellishing the cabinet case that I had previously painted black. The cabinet case will hold all of the ephemera that was created in the month of June. Most items I have in my crafting stash. I did purchase the molds from amazon; the small molds are difficult because they break fairly easily. So I did my best to piece them together… but I’m going for the aged Victorian look.
Please comment with any questions you have and/or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Debbie

I love the idea of using the boxes from DT to add shelves in a cabinet or shelf or even a box that may not have shelves and you may not have the tools or know how to make a shelf from wood, ESP if you live in an apartment, lol! I have a TON of those boxes left after I ordered 2 whole "units" of them from DT, so yaaaa, like 50 boxes, lol! I made a fake Library cabinet with them when they first came out and they were super hard to find....but now, Im like uggh WHAT am I going to do with these things, lol! I stuck them in a bin and there they sit....but now I have a few options I never would have thought of! Thanks so much for sharing!

Lol, I had to pause to say its NOT YOU!! Lol, Its NOT the mold either!! We ALLLLLLLLLLLLL have had a VERRRRRY hard time with that clay! Lol! I had grabbed a few a few YEARS ago tbh, lol, and even tried using it for Gingerbread cookies and watched a few very experienced fake food makers that make a LOT a fake food or "fake bakes" with clay and even THEY had a very hard time with that clay, even making VERY thick "cookies"....not only is it impossible to work with, but it dries not very well either and you have to be super careful with it. I tossed whatever it was I made with mine after cutting maybe 2 fake cookies, lol! It was just not worth the hassle. I still have a pack I just found last week, lol! I laughed and stuck it in a bin, thinking maybe I can make a shredded or grated type topping on a fake Gingerbread shake, lol! I find for my smaller molds, the newer UV clay that sets with a UV light (like what nail artists use), you can get it on Temu & a good amount for $5. Its soooo easy to use, it pops right out of the mold, sets hard as plastic in 20 seconds and is completely paintable. I think for SMALL intricate molds, its easier than clay and no mixing chemicals like with resin, plus it sets faster than both. I wouldnt use it for large molds bc of the cost and clay or resin is far easier...but for the small mold, its PERFECT and you can make a TON with a 2oz, $5 container of it! I just had to jump in and say that its def not you or the mold, its def the clay, lol! =)

@@Em22-wtf THANK YOU very much. I will definitely try a different product and ditch the DT air-dry clay! I have so many items I have collected or purchased over the years, so I do try to use what I already have in my possession. Thanks again 🥰
