[@alwaysinblue]

Such good hacks! Those vases were so pretty. And, I don't have a family heirloom cake stand, but I can find them when thrifting, so I'm going to hunt for some to do that tiered tray look. Now, Natalie, you are more powerful than you think. Why don't you design and make your own entry table. You can do it! Go for it, girl!!

[@TheDutchDutchess373]

Beautiful🌹👌💖

[@pthuwen3893]

I have those "Ivar" bookshelf. But my ideas has run out. Thou I still have one idea left but what would Nathalee do?? Ahh...a new series on KZbin: What Would Nathalee Do = WWND My idea but I'll give it to you ❤

[@bettywest7997]

That mural was gorgeous. You loved it too. If there's a hack that would be great. Guessing wallpaper is the real answer though

[@sandrarivera8374]

I loved all of your DIYs!!! The vases are beautiful, your purse is awesome!! You are so creative! 😍

[@mommabrettd2909]

Now I NEED to make the cloche. LOVE THEM! FYI - the IKEA glass has a pull off film on it. That is what the printing is on. :) That protects the plastic so that it does not scratch before you get home.

[@stacienance7256]

Just came here to comment this. 👏🏼

[@cathrinechartier3790]

exactly!...it peels off from one of the corners..

[@rikkeliesommer7292]

About the “glass” in the frame… you need to pull off the protective film (on both sides) 😂 Thats why there was markings. It’s not on the actual glass.

[@designedtothenines]

Now that is funny!😲😂😊🙏💕

[@marshiathomas8804]

Every time I watch you I am just amazed at your talent!! You make the cutest things and although I hate Ikea, I am going to look for glass pieces at Goodwill so I can make some of these too!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!!!

[@LisaBurningham]

Love the frosted glass vases! I’ve been there with the Cricut vinyl… The purse was so cute. I think both straps are beautiful. The pink cake stand, cloche and powerful sign were amazing too! Well done sweet lady!💕

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you so much my sweet friend!

[@susanprendergast7384]

You not fussy; you are meticulous! I so look forward to your videos!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you 🙏

[@Risici_Bloom]

You go above and beyond with your projects to share with us. It is easy to tell that you are not just enjoying what you do, but that you really love it. Thank you for having this channel and for being the real deal so consistently!

[@momma2scooby]

This episode was amazing! You’re my absolute favorite DIY’er to watch! So many more things to create now. I’ve never seen pink Depression glass but it’s so beautiful. I love what you created with the two pieces to match your grandmother’s piece. Thank you for giving me the confidence to use power tools. As you say, “game changer”! I’m loving it! What I’m also loving is your dress!!! Gorgeous….where did you get it?

[@atjennysplace]

All great Ikea hacks. Those frosted vases and the depression glass dupes were 👌🏼 But let's also talk about that beautiful paisley blouse. In love with it 😍

[@vickiebelk635]

Love all your Ikea hacks!!! Please keep doing them and thrift hacks. I love the tribal ecot strap for the purse.

[@carlareavis8022]

Wow! The frosted glass vases are beautiful and such a cute purse. My favorite strap is the more tribal print. I absolutely love all the hacks. I need to check out IKEA, looks like my kind of store. 😁 The closest one to me a little over 60 miles in Charlotte. I could get my sisters and have a girls day out.

[@designedtothenines]

That would be a fun girls day out! Mine is an hour away… And I do occasionally try to make it a girls day.

[@daynad8104]

Carla, you sound like you live close to me. I'm also about an hour away from Charlotte. Born, and raised there, but I had to get out of that city. It stressed me out too much. Small town life is a much better fit for me now.

[@mariannesalisbury4056]

Omgosh I absolutely love love love your purse out of the pillow cover! I am so making one of those! Yay! Thank you NataLee!

[@alisonmccallister1136]

Natalee, you are addicting. Thank you so much for your amazing ideas. I am now finding things on Pinterest that I can make for less. You are truly an inspiration to me.

[@diybeautyonpurpose]

These are beautiful ❤️. Can't pick a favorite, they are all stunning. Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs ❣️

[@lateknightcreations]

Ohhhh that vase! Execution doesn’t really matter… it’s the outcome!!! It came out gorgeous!

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you 🙏

[@kristinaanderson8644]

Wonderful hacks AGAIN!! Fyi I heard if you flip your weeded peice over and peel backing it's easier.

[@margaretzuelke9761]

I absolutely LOVE all of these projects! I make purses and I have to tell you, you did a wonderful job on the purse! I love the straps, and your favorite is mine as well. The glass projects are my favorite, and I am going to do some searching so that I can do some as well!

[@rcoop309]

I love all of the projects. Especially the pink cake stand and the purse. That Ikea is one of my favorites to visit. Awesome job!

[@dn8387]

Love the pillow purse! Ingenious NataLee! I prefer the floral strap. As for the frosted vase, you did a whole lot of weeding! Props to you!

[@teresah4972]

As always, NataLee, your projects are top notch! I especially love the glass etching; so beautiful! I agree with you, sewing is a great skill to have. When I see people hot gluing fabric together, I always think sewing it would take half the time and the seam is more reliable, and even. That’s just my opinion, but I’ve been sewing since I was very young.

[@debiegordon3787]

Omg 💜💜💜Pink Despression Cake Stand is GORGEOUS...and urz is quite a close cousin 😊😊😊🌸🌸🌸

[@kellyastleford1169]

Love this episode! My daughter is getting ready for college. I'm going to get a funky boho frame and paper to make her a unique dry erase board. Thank you for the idea!! I'm also going to combine the cloche and vase ideas to do an etched design around the bottom of the glass to make it coordinate with my china pattern. I love them both! I would love to see your ideas for dorm room decorating!

[@jenniferjimenez3512]

On the vase, you can not use borosilicate glass. Ikea sells that kind of glass and it does not etch with Armour etch. Just saw a video by Jennifer Maker advising of that. Good idea using the spray frost. Turned out beautiful. Took a lemon and made lemonade.

[@designedtothenines]

Thanks for letting me know! That's good to know. =)

[@debb3392]

Giving you a thumbs up was simply not enough for this vid. Love several of your creative hacks - I’m also someone who sews and liked the pillow cover bag (although I would probably do a solid strap) But the way you did the faux depression glass was ingenious and really lovely! Also learned about frosting using paint instead of etching. Thanks for all you do - I always look forward to treating myself with a new video from you :-)

[@hsepulveda1]

Natalee, you are so talented! Thanks for sharing these wonderful hacks!

[@designedtothenines]

Glad you like them!

[@karireyes6710]

The etched glass look vase is so gorgeous!

[@kendellvinot3717]

As always, TO THE NINES!!! I love all of them I see a trip to Ikea in my future!!! I will let you know if the Tampa store has more new items than your Orlando one did.

[@michelesoto5919]

Tip: I’ve never been satisfied with the DT contact paper, I prefer the Cricut brand transfer tape. Give it a try, now with the details you’re working with, I would use one that I used once or twice (yes, you can use Cricut transfers tape over and over again-as long as you don’t drop it adhesive side down on carpeting or floors with a sheddy fur baby in the house). I’ve hadn’t had any problems with the issue of getting off the backing. Only issue I had was it took off the paint off my S’well water bottle. Loving these hacks, now I’m definitely will be checking out those pillow cases and cloches! Ugg, a few weeks ago I donated my complete pink dish set to the Good Will! Figures! Loved you stacking the cake stands into a tier tray. I would put your grandmother’s on top because it’s stunning and you can see it better that way. Need to make a trip to that IKEA store when in Otown area again!!

[@sharonpendleton6549]

I love your videos and your style,never a disappointment Natalee

[@designedtothenines]

Thank you 🥰

[@carrey7873]

L loved that pillow cover bag !! 🤩😍 What an adorable idea !! this year we are having a "home made Christmas" in the family and I am seriously thinking this would be a hit with the girls in our family. As always I love tuning in and seeing what you are doing next. BTW: you have made my daughters and I more aware of using power tools.... we are having a ball in our old garage !

[@mollyscott6655]

That purse is so amazing! I love the tribal strap with it. I’ll have to watch a million times to figure out what you did with sewing 😆 but I’m willing to try because it’s adorable!

[@kymberlythomoff1231]

Love your hacks, as always! I love the tribal design on the strap. The etched glass was gorgeous! I have a gorgeous wood Lazy Susan that I stained with rest-oleum chalked aged glaze and added half wood rounds to the edge. I am not happy with the finished product and not sure what kind of glaze I would use to make it shiny or do I just paint it white? I was thinking this morning when I saw your wood table centerpiece Lazy Susan that it would be nice to have your audience send in things like this and you help to finish them? I bet there are a lot of us out here that have projects just sitting there and we don’t know quite how to finish them? :-)🤷‍♀️🥰

[@kathyyarbrough8656]

You never disappoint! I love the glass vases! Definitely going to try that!

[@katherinepereira9088]

I like how you mix the simpler projects with the more difficult. I like simple crafts that I can recreate at home. I don't (unfortunately) have the patience for the more difficult ones but I do admire how they turn out!

[@bethturek4610]

For the troubles with pulling transfer tape off the matless cricut vinyl, flip that so the transfer tape is face down and peel the backing from the vinyl off, it works better for me, hopefully it'll work for u too

[@jenniferrumsey9887]

Beth My daughter has a Cricut and she uses this method with very good success (14 year olds are not patient). Have a great day!

[@susieheller9883]

Beautiful and created a lot of ways I could use your ideas. Thank you

[@angieemm]

Never thought I'd see a DIY concealed carry purse but I'm certainly not disappointed by it! Are prices on Depression glass going up in your area? I'm in Texas and it's still super-low. I collect 2 patterns, so I'm always on the hunt!

[@grant62306]

I have a small collection of pink Depression Glass that began with some items I inherited from my grandmother. I love it!

[@kayla.breaux]

I find it's easier to remove vinyl from the backing when you flip it over and remove the backing from the vinyl, not have it design side up and remove the vinyl from the backing. Also, I like contact paper for larger pieces, like you had...HOWEVER, it is not my favorite choice. It is much harder to get vinyl to stick to contact paper in my experience. My favorite transfer paper is from 143vinyl, their medium tack transfer tape. I also prefer their vinyl. I have never been a fan of Cricut brand vinyl. I just don't think it weeds well. The vase was gorgeous! I would love to see it etched! I bet that would be so pretty. I love your channel, you have helped me gather my courage and realize I can do more than I thought! TY!

[@erikas974]

All the glass project took my fancy. I am going to try to copy some of it. Thank you NataLee 👍👏🤩

[@debiegordon3787]

The vases are just BEAUTIFUL as can be🌸🌸🌸🌹🌹🌹🌸🌸🌸

[@luciageise8486]

I love the pink cake place stand, a little tip when using 2 part epoxy and you want to slow the setup process, use the bottom of a cold beverage can, mix epoxy well and the cold from the can will slow the setup process.

[@LisaCSwain]

NataLee, this is one of my favorite episodes so far! That damask vase is stunning! Did you make the cut file? I'd love a tutorial on that if you did! I've used ArmorEtch a good bit and have run into that a couple times. It's really frustrating when it happens! I love your purse (both straps are great but I like the tribal one better too) and love that you realize that a sewing machine is a power tool too! Brother and Singer both make quality machines at a good price point. I didn't know pink depression glass was back in, but we have some and I've never treated those beauties like they were out. haha. Love ya bunches!

[@vickiestevens6969]

Natalee is the design u used on vase in DS? can u show link or name of image pls?

[@daynad8104]

Honestly, I'll bet you could find a stencil at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or even Amazon to use, instead of using your Cricut. That would be so much easier, I think.

[@melissamccreary3690]

Flip the vinyl over with the transfer tape and warm it up a bit with a blow dryer. Whitney from whiskey and whit showed this. I have tried it and it does work!

[@cfran1015]

I love this episode! I loved that purse and the brown with the teal strap was my favorite!

[@verniceduke997]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the classy suggestions. I also now own power tools because of you.

[@karenlebeter4196]

Love the cloches! Also the "pillow case" purse! The secret zip pocket is fantastic!

My favorites were the damask vase and the pink depression cake stand! Great video!

[@melissashafer5065]

I would have painted the gold to match too cuz it would have driven me crazy lol.

[@amyhoover214]

I saw another KZbinr having the same trouble with that Cricut vinyl without the mat. She used a blow dryer to heat it up a little and said it helps release it. Good luck! Great video!

[@designedtothenines]

I can’t wait to try this!

[@LindasDIYbyDesign]

Great and easy projects that display just beautifully!!! You know…I have the same issue with that smart vinyl…I have tried different transfer sheets, besides Cricut, as well….no hope. I’m even having some trouble getting it OFF the transfer sheet onto certain surfaces where I’ve not had that issue before…whereas other regular vinyl like the Oracal brands…I don’t have an issue. I’m an advocate for Cricut also and do hope they are coming up with a solution, because it is soooooo nice not to have to pull a mat out and it weeds so wonderfully! Hugsies! Linda 😊

[@milacaban8010]

I went to the exact Ikea last week 😅 I'm from Daytona Beach. I was drooling. Found a desk in the AS IS room for 123.00 originally 450.00. We scored! 😆 lots of new fun stuff as well. Love Ikea 💘

Are you sure that glass for the white board doesn't have a protective film on it🤔 I know i could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me 😂

Yep! Silly me!

[@scrumps101]

I’m only 8 minutes in and I gotta say I love that you share some good “fails” along the way. I think it helps the rest of realize that we are not total morons in the crafting department when we see you guys have mess ups too. Often times creators will cut out all the fail segments and show them only on practically perfect pristine outcomes which we know isn’t realistic but it sure helps remind us when you share these.

Love all your videos. You r so very talented. I love to craft but have slowed way down. I now have totes of crafting items to do but out of craft mode right. Also have totes of material. I lived to sew & when the girls (4) were young I made a lot of their clothes & even did bridesmaid dresses. Now it seems such a chore. BUT I live watching everyone else craft & you r definitely one of the best. I love the lace patterned vase & the cloches. I had pink depression ware that was my grandmother's but gave it to my granddaughter who collects antiques. Hope she will display them when my gt grands are older. I like the purse but would have made straps out of material same color as one of the stripes. I also like the idea of a concealed weapon area. Have a gt wk, GOD bless you & happy Easter to you & your family.:)

[@anitafoss2133]

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm curious, having never used the frosted glass paint, if not sealed - would it be easy to scrape of with a razor blade or such? I'm a renter and therefore need to be able to "leave things as I found them" and I think the damask lace vase you did would be lovely on the long narrow windows of the 4 narrow windows of the front entry way.

[@designedtothenines]

Yes... it will scratch off. That's why I prefer the original version I attempted. If you can find a real glass vase. I definitely recommend actually etching the glass! ;)

[@anitafoss2133]

@@designedtothenines thanks so much for quick response and info! As a renter, removable works best and I'm so excited to try this idea out, I think the lacy look will be great on the long windows in this old Victorian house while giving some privacy and still let light in

[@marthadavoli6494]

May I ask you sewing machine questions? I have only ever used Singers, primarily the one my dad gave my mom in 1957, and after that, ones I've purchased used. I've decided at age 62 it's time I had a new machine! Does your Brother sew thick material well, such as denim, upholstery fabric (seemed to do well with the pillow cover in this video), leather? Does the needle threader really work?? Do you ever have issues with the machine being computerized vs. just being mechanical? That makes me a little nervous. I'm sorry for all the questions; I'm glad to have someone to ask instead of relying on Amazon reviews! By the way, I loved learning from one of your videos that you have a home in Maine! I live in Scarborough, near Pine Point.

[@tmcbgrrl0074]

Love your work, hacks & style! IKEA too. But I hate their wicker laundry hampers. Snags everything, including me! 🙅🏻

[@christinewalters7098]

HI Natalie - the Smart Vinyl needs the Cricut super strong transfer tape. Been there, Failed that!

[@leannemitchem8865]

Awesome diys. For weeding vinyl, do not remove the design/transfer tape from the back. Remove the backing from the design/transfer tape instead. Turn your design down and then remove the backing. Hope this helps.

[@Brineytoes]

The vases are gorgeous, as are the cloches! I’ve got to put my Cricut to work. Being a bag maker, I adored your pillow cover bag, especially with its hidden zipper compartment! Being me, though, I would buy a second pillow cover so that the strap could be cut from it, plus have extra fabric for outer pockets, or a matching cosmetic bag for inside. I love IKEA, and I love your hacks! Thank you for your exciting ideas! (I think we shop at the same IKEA)

[@astrik5236]

Nice projects😊 need to try a couple of them. I bought Ribba frames for a project last month, and there should be a very thin plastic on the glass, you need to peel at the corner😊

[@designedtothenines]

Oops!! LOL.

[@tamarak.4447]

I was wondering if anyone would mention that. :) I just bought a frame from IKEA that I put at my kitchen desk with one of NataLee’s free printables. It’s the Easter Bunny with the stripes and the French wording and it looks ah-mazing!! There was protective film on both sides of the “glass” which is actually acrylic. Check it out, NataLee. Your “glass” will be even clearer if you peel it off of both sides. ❤️ Absolutely loved the damask and striped vases. More spray paint on my wish list. I’ve got them all stored in a hanging shoe organizer.

[@lynnstegmann7485]

I was unable to etch an IKEA casserole dish for a Christmas gift👎. I read somewhere this is because the IKEA glass is made differently or has a different mix. I love how you didn’t give up. Your brain is more powerful than you know😉. Please keep up the good work because I love your videos!

[@pastda3]

Awesome hacks. So do you now prefer using the epoxy kit over E600 or Gorilla Glue?

[@designedtothenines]

I use all of them, but for glass I think Epoxy is a bit stronger.

[@pastda3]

@@designedtothenines Thank you. I'll have to give it a try.

[@momistaken]

I just love your laugh! I am not a cricket user but I really loved your large glass vases! Question: do you have to use white vinyl for stencils? It looked really hard to pick the “weeds” out. Another question: if you turned your vinyl over and rolled the paper backing off, would it have been any easier? I also love the pink cake plate, but I wonder if it would have been more stable if you reversed the bottom piece… And also, the purse was brilliant, and I’ve been sewing way longer than you! The zipper and the hardware were really smart! I learn from you with every project and I sure wish all kids could learn more about sewing and building and fixing things in high school!!

[@jeangay7421]
