Thank you so much for your inspiration and I love your style And I’m so excited to get started crafting again.

Yes it was my dad's pocket from a long time ago. So special.

[@kbrussell7679]

Dear Tracy, I was watching your video with the painted Jean pockets, and I had an idea. Would one of your small smashed tins fit into the denim pockets?You may be able to attach them with the cropadile and some wire or rusty safety pins. What do you think?Anyway thanks for your inspiration and encouragement. Have a great day!Bonnie

[@countrycharmbytracy]

Great idea!

[@erinplunkett4123]

How adorable! I am going to start asking all the family to save me jeans for the pockets. I LOVE them all, and even more with the splatters, lol! I think these will make sweet teacher gifts too.

[@donnahill6219]

These are super cute. You really make some of the cutest unique items. I love watching and listening to you tell your stories and you also take the time to explain your steps. For a non-crafter most of my life, I really do appreciate it. Even if that one project I know I wouldn't be able to make it I still enjoy listening. You have a calming voice and it helps a lot of the time to my mind off my pain watching your videos. Thats one reason why I say I could listen and watch you make wreaths for hr's. Plus I just love your wreaths. 😁 I started to make wreaths and I hope one day mine will be as cute as yours. Thank you for all you do.

[@countrycharmbytracy]

[@dinahsoar6982]

Distress oxide inks are pigment inks vs regular distress ink which is a dye ink...for distressing I refer the dye ink..buy a refill if you don't need to replace your pad.

[@countrycharmbytracy]

Thank you so much for your insight into the difference. I prefer the distress dye ink and thankfully I did purchase the refill when I found the pad on Amazon. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Hello, I remember the first time you used pockets, it was your from your father's old pants.. Maybe over a year ago. I love the pocket idea. I've made plant holders with mine. Thanks for the inspiration.

They are in tact from cutting out from the jeans. I just cut through the denim from the waist and it already has a backside from the actual jeans.

I don't have a booth but if you're meaning at the gift shop I make the wreaths for....they're not going to make it there. I had someone contact me and wanted to buy them. I sold them for $10 each plus shipping.

[@senyagwynn8121]

@@countrycharmbytracy I'm sorry. I meant any booth, I'm trying to get a handle on the pricing. This isn't my first booth or to sell my wares but I have never been good at pricing. Thank you for your help.

[@suziebuckingham9053]

Did you just cut thru both layers,(pocket and jean) to cut them off? Use a ripper to get pocket off? I see a backing on the pockets, but it doesn’t look like it goes all the way up to the top. Thx.

[@countrycharmbytracy]

I just cut off the pocket through the jeans so it’s all in tact. I just used my fabric scissors to trim any excess material.

[@emmy100299]

Hi Tracy, do you have a video painting the faces?

[@carlap2227]

Thanks so much for this awesome project. I want to give it a try. I did have a couple of questions. Is there a "supply list" that lists the paint brands and colors? Do you know what size your paint brushes are that you use?? You also mention something about the color around the edge of the pocket- did you say that that is a chalk paint?? I also heard something about plaster?? Is it a different type of paint that you are using for the edge or is is just the color name? Is there a good place to find the homespun fabric?? Joanns no longer carries it. I found a few at HL. I am looking for the red/green plaid that you used on the red santa. I know that you didn't save your yarn labels. It looks like Homespun yarn by Lion Brand but I know that HL also carries a couple that may be similar but in the yarn Bee brand. I think that one was called Fireside and one was called fleece light. I looked up the Lion Brand trying to match up the colors and I noticed that they have a thick and quick version of the Homespun also- Did you use the "regular" or the thicker one?? I have been out collecting my supplies to give this a go. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@countrycharmbytracy]

Carla see my answers below: I did have a couple of questions. Is there a "supply list" that lists the paint brands and colors? _I mention the paint colors and brand during my craft.

[@carlap2227]

@@countrycharmbytracy Thank you so much. I appreciate your help. I did see the 2 brands of yarn at Hobby lobby but it seems like they are varigated. I cannot tell in the video if either of yours are varigated or a solid color. One of yours looks like an off white and the other is almost like a light oatmeal beige color. It is so hard to tell on screens and monitors. I will check out the rest of the links. Thanks again. I look forward to making them.

[@carlap2227]

Hi Tracy, do you know the name of the green that you used on the edging of the pocket with the fan brush. I think that is the only one that I didn't hear you mention the color?? You already had the snowman edges painted- is that black or navy blue?? Thanks!!

What brand of Heat gun do you use?? Do you like it?? does it have more then 1 speed?? Some seem to be priced a lot higher and then there are some lower priced ones. Thanks.

[@countrycharmbytracy]

My heat gun is a Warrior brand which I purchased at Harbor Freight. I think I paid around $30 about 2 years ago. It has 2-speeds and gets VERY hot. The scar on my right forearm is one from the heat gun falling over on my arm and the nozzle touched it, giving me a pretty nasty burn. I learned from that set it away from me now.

[@carlap2227]

@@countrycharmbytracy Thank you. I did see the Warrior one when I was doing a google search. It was at Harbor Freight but it looks like it is only $16.99 now!! Maybe because they have come out with an updated model???? $16.99 is do-able for sure!!! Thank you.
