PLASTIC DRAWER FLIP/ See how I transform these Sterilite Plastic Drawers / ANTHROPOLOGY DUPE

[@SaharaColeman]

Wow are you seriously telling me that I could’ve been using hot glue for those molds? I always thought you needed that “part a part b” type of stuff. This is why I love watching your DIY’s I learn so much. 😩

[@melanies1573]

I've seen a few use it many times and paint them etc

[@Cheray_]

You can use hot glue, resin (the part A/B stuff🥰🤗), candle wax, soaps, air dry clay, plaster of Paris, chocolate....so many uses, for those😉❤🙏🏾

[@marieb9926]

I know right!!😊

[@elizabethford3568]

I was surprised too. Genius idea

[@shellypilcher8626]

❤

[@daneekaplan4284]

This video popped up on my home page; I had never seen your work but I've seen enough really bad dupes "on a budget" to know there Is no way your boxy, plastic Sterilite storage bin was ever going to look anything like the hand-carved wooden inspiration piece. I took a sip of coffee, hit play, and snuggled in for the ensuing train wreck. It looked dicey from the jump but somewhere deep in the dry brushing, i was hit with some sort of sorcery, ancient magic, or voodoo because when we stepped off the ride, you had transformed plastic, glue and acrylic paint into a wooden bedside table that truly looked like the original wooden piece but also evoked the spirit of the hand carved inspiration.

[@diykarem]

Loved this comment. I'm sometimes unsure of certain projects even when I am in the middle of doing them. Things don't always look exactly as I had envisioned them, but that is part of the fun of crafting.

[@NothinbutLove]

Absolutely LOVE that second one!! I think I will try something like that to hold crafting supplies. I can't believe I've never seen anyone use hot glue in silicone molds before! That is just genius!!!

[@rosaandrade2205]

Amazing beautiful craft

[@218carm]

Me too! This is amazing!

[@nancyhatcher3320]

I am in complete awe of your glue gun glue flowers! You have one of the most creative minds out there. I have 2 3-drawer bins like yours that are old and kind of beat up looking...YEA! I have them in the upstairs bathroom & closet. I'd been wanting to replace them and now I can just redo them and that's a beautiful thing especially since, like everyone else, finances are really close. I have a lot of resin silicone molds & some would be so much fun to use with the glue. Oh boy, another project! But I think this will move to the head of the class, THANK YOU!!

[@diykarem]

Hi Nancy. Thank you so much for the nice comments. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Ipoetize]

I wince at these type of (Sterilite) storage systems most often seeing them while thrift-ing or garage sell-ing. They always have the look of the hard knock life. With peeling latex paint, covered sharpie and gel pen marks, hot melt and glitter glue drips, kids stickers stuck on and some ripped and torn off leaving it sticky dirty from the adhesive, and or are just in there with years of embedded dirt grime into its scratches. Well Good Golly, Now I gotta Gush about it. What a wonderful work of magic, that transformation was quite something, I think one can clearly see (by the end result) that love was invested. So now thanks to this video and the on screen Make Over Maven (Thank you Karem!) I won't be a sterilite storage wincer.

[@tarag2705]

I love how your DIYs always look expensive, you can never tell they are made with extremely cheap or Dollar Tree materials!

[@michellemayes3955]

These are really amazing, I would have never imagined it was possible to make those plastic drawers look that good.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Holy creative genius!!!!! Am I ever glad I didn't get rid of my silicone molds when I stopped cake decorating. You are so very talented, thank you for sharing. 🌼

[@therealJamieJoy]

I can't even believe my eyes! Karem, I am only just finished watching the first transformation. I always say you are talented, but you continually surprise me with your creativity. TFS!!!

[@justtere]

Wood pencil holders. How creative. Wonderfully beautiful. Thank you.

[@f.acostaa9429]

You turned that from something ordinary to something extraordinary. Beautiful

[@jpierce3498]

Love the idea of recycling an inexpensive summer hat. Fantastic idea using hot glue in a silicone mold. You are so inventive and creative

[@celiastevenson8750]

This is so beautiful, who'd have thought it started as a set of plastic drawers. Well done!

[@sherylsnow4193]

SMH. You are truly blessed with creativity, patience, and perseverance. Thanks for sharing your gift.

[@elizabethtrihub8047]

That one with the 3D flowers is stunning!!!

[@the1_grammy503]

I have never seen more beautiful Sterlite plastic drawer sets in my life. What an amazing job you did!! I just happened to run across this video on the home page. I’ll be coming back for more!

[@robinraven4]

Your imagination and talent are inspiring, thank you.

[@sharivaudo5908]

These are both beautiful, but the one with the flowers is absolutely amazing! You're very creative and talented. 🌹🌹

[@lechatbotte.]

I always love your projects never just small decorative items but things I can actually use. Still the best on KZbin. I love using cosplay glue it has a resin in it so it doesn’t remelt as easily if it gets warm.

[@diykarem]

Thanks for the tip, I want to give it a try. I haven't worked with cosplay glue before.

[@lechatbotte.]

@@diykarem surebonder makes the sticks and sells them

[@Purplemoons49]

I love how you put feet on them that alone elevates them in style. I all your hard work payed off and they look beautiful.

[@lyndioli]

Wow!! Karem's at it again folks! More great designs and ways to get that expensive look for a smaller budget! Both storage compartments are so cool!😍

[@Laila4767]

Girl, I love your creative mind. You always seem to outdo yourself. Please keep the creative juices coming!

[@jenniferd264]

Walmart had those black large 3 drawer set of Drawers on clearance for $10! I got 1. I went back the next day and was sad they were gone! But $10 😊 was a gift to me! I loved the 2nd one you did! I wish I had silicone molds like that! It turned out Gorgeous 😊

[@sharinhamilton3712]

I was almost buying a set of plastic drawers like that and thought no they're too ugly and then I see your video, WOW what a transformation.

[@raymonafox2545]

You are so creative! Thank you for sharing

[@debradevine5014]

You and Lindi are the two best crafters on any social media channels! Love both of your creations

[@sixpackbinky]

Best redo of these containers I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[@floressonia55]

Blessings and Gratitude!!! Absolutely BLEW me away!!! The plastic type drawers is all I buy now due to not being able to pick up heavy dressers/furniture. Ur creations have given me so much hope to try and make my plastic drawers look nicer. Thank you soooo much! I am def subcribing

[@dawnlanni628]

Beautiful and very creative! Turned something very cheap looking into something so beautiful. Great job! ❤

[@jikook7457]

How did you ever come up with the idea to use the sun hats to glow up plastic sterilite drawer systems? That's freaking ingenious! 👏👏👏 Seriously, it takes vision, creativity, and imagination to think of that. I'm not a rattan, wicker, or basket kind of girl. I'm super girlie, pink, frilly, sparkly, and blingy, but I'm really impressed.

[@denisepope8599]

You did an awesome job transforming those plastics in realistic wood pieces.

[@bernadettedean9764]

Wow, how fun and elegant

[@tlur8813]

Just beautiful simply beautiful!

[@denisemarie485]

This video came at a perfect time! I am going to give mine a makeover too. I too am going to make it sturdier with wood feet. I have an old cutting board I will sand and stain for the top and use my leftover burlap glued to strong cardboard for the sides. I was stuck on what to do with the drawers. Your video has given me inspiration! You are extremely creative and inspiring 🤗❤ Thank you!

[@kathrynsmith3460]

Oh, woman! You have some professional level creativity and follow- through. These projects are amazing!

[@jojobtrcook1808]

I have never seen anyone use hot glue with molds before! Wonderful idea. I’m going to buy more glue sticks!!

[@218carm]

WOW!! Why did I not think to do this! I'm going to get busy! I have 6 of these I use for craft supplies and never realized I could make them look so beautiful! I can't wait to do this! Thanks for the great idea!! ❤❤❤👏👋👋😃

[@spktme]

That second one was gorgeous!

[@justme5544]

Both are stunning!!! You always amaze!!!

[@Mrsangierice]

Bravo!!! Very beautiful job!!! Thank you for sharing

[@sarahkeller-vp6hq]

Those were AMAZING! You've given me ideas to try with stuff I already have. I don't know if they'll turn out as pretty as what you've done, but you've also inspired me to start my first KZbin playlist! Thank you!

[@ElizabethCastillo-bb1ul]

Absolutely beautiful 👏🌿🥰🌿👏

[@ivonnewalters8896]

EPIC & gorgeous up-cycling of steralite drawers

[@bernadette8300]

Excellent ideas and work!

[@mrs.pattiderge6743]

You are an amazing crafter with great vision, Karem. Thank you for sharing!

[@tinamcelyea5972]

That is super cute. I think I would put a sort of handle pull and screw it in so it is usable. It would also keep the raffia from getting dirty from unclean hands... great job

[@HeirOfNothingInParticular]

Great idea!

[@rhondaherdman7338]

Amazing sister you do such good work. Blessings and much love

[@nanny8675309]

Thanks for the brilliant tip of using hot glue! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that🤔 seems so much easier than having to buy and use resin that probably is also stinky😁 Then the ease of use in the gun to fill in the gaps and using the tip of the gun to melt certain areas as needed-OMG Brilliant!

[@cherylmchugh2912]

Absolutely stunning projects!! I would never in my wildest dreams think of doing that! The transformation of those Sterilite drawers if simply amazing!! Thank You for sharing your creative genius!! ♥🥀

[@monicahill9335]

Speechless. Amazing creations!

[@bridgethall1065]

Great idea using the molds!

[@melz3752]

You have an amazing talent! Wow! So beautiful 🤩

[@angelienaharrison2249]

I was hesitant of how this was going to turn out but I think she did a good job with prepping and thin layers of all the paint and top coat this could actually last a while. And the base is a really good idea. Subscribed I like that it was done correctly and not rushed 🙏🏻👍🏻

[@diykarem]

Thanks so much. I wasn't sure about it either, but I was pretty happy with how they came out.

[@LolaLee1970]

Great ideas!!! The hot glue in the molds is brilliant 😄😄

[@MaryanneFischler]

Truly stunning transformations!

[@kristingray5314]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the first one but the second one is just mind-blowing and amazing! I love everything about both of them and you make it look so easy! I am glad to see someone tackle these types of drawers! You make them look beautiful!!❤
