Dollar Tree DIY Tabletop Fire Pits [UNDER $10] 2020

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you everyone for your nice comments and to those with constructive criticism! This is the 2nd video we've ever made and did not expect it to get the views it has. I just want to address some concerns people have. I have seen some comments about the rocks potentially exploding. With further research I did see that smooth river rocks have the potential to do so which we had no idea when making this. If you want to use the fire canisters please only use rocks that will work around fire like lava rocks. (I do not know for sure of any dollar tree rocks that will be 100% safe). If you are wanting to use rocks from the dollar store please buy the battery operated candles instead. We would hate for an accident to happen to anyone. We both appreciate constructive criticism so we can make this channel better. For our future diys we will make sure not to use fire and make sure the diy is safe for everyone even if we have no issues. Also we've had some concerns because the stain we used is not directly from the dollar store. That stain is what we had on hand and it is from Walmart. To get the same look from dollar tree products you can use watered down brown paint, stain pens, or shoe polish. Again thank you for watching and thank you to those who are patient and helping us learn while we grow this channel. ❤

You're so welcome

[@insanumyu923]

If there's a safety issue with rocks you don't have to spend much to get them I offten collect rocks while hiking you can make a portective ring around the pit out of clay or cement so the rocks aren't directly touching the flame... You can also use these ideas to make bird baths and planters

[@damzadlib4177]

Hello there thanks for this brilliant idea But i cant find those fire pits Do u have a link in amazon or aliexpress

[@carlaj38]

I loved the 1st and 3rd one the best. Thanks for the video

[@pattiannepascual]

Just make sure you open the fuel canister first and leave top loose before filling with rocks.i use the fuel all the time and have needed pliers to get some open. I live your video.

[@annalisalazar7829]

If youd like, you could fill with coffee beans and make your whole house smell good!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Yes 👏👏 you are my kind of person!

[@sandyhill1521]

What a great idea!

[@dlstarsteinbach4276]

Great idea 🥰

[@hoosermama1]

genius! brilliant! supercalafraglisticxpalidouses! (I'm guessing on the spelling. 😂)

[@rayneadriana1251]

ahhh, gonna fill it w vanilla bean

[@alexandria1316]

SUCH A GOOD IDEA and sooo cute! BUT for projects like this PLEASE use some fire guard or any fire protectant/flame retardant spray. doesn’t cost that much and all you need to do is spray the blocks AND the rocks. That’ll take out the worry for accidental fires especially since all those products are treated. Loved it though!

[@elijahyuh1453]

What happens if you don’t use fire guard? Will it still catch on fire or is fire guard more of like a precaution thing to make sure it doesn’t catch on fire?

[@hunterbelinda99]

@@elijahyuh1453 just more of a precaution.

[@ladyrc3682]

I love them all! I don't understand why ppl would unlike this. This is great idea and inexpensive! Win-win.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thanks for watching! Inexpensive is the best 🙂.

[@anuncolonizedmind6296]

Geez.. I just read some of the comments. Some of them were so harsh, while I was watching I was questioning safety as well. However they were great ideas, u can take the general idea & substitute some things. If u think they aren't safe, no reason to be so mean about it. 😒

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@sandyhill1521]

I agree with the comment about being mean.

[@amandal.961]

You can use citronella fuel cans to deter mosquitoes.

[@mercysi2636]

Whaat that's helpful asf

[@GoTips]

How do you refill the canister?

[@growingupinthisworld5708]

What!!!!!🤔 That girl smart.....i love it.

[@lisarenee8394]

That us exactly what I was thinking to put as centerpiece on the patio coffee table 😉

[@kittykatkattitude9777]

I really enjoyed all three. But my favorite is the first one.

[@andicksoful]

Me too! I'm thinking why the heck I didnt think of this.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you for watching!!

[@twashington7791]

The first one is just what I was looking for!!! A small inexpensive firepit using Dollar Tree items......Thank you👍🏾

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you for watching!

[@kimhefley1683]

Super creative! Thanks for the update. Not sure why people have to be hateful in some of the comments. Super cool seeing a couple do DIY crafts ♥️

[@bonnaewaldron2727]

So basically you could throw one of those fire thingies inside any container and cover it with rocks😍thanks for sharing cool idea

[@RIODJENIRO1]

I worked with Caterer's when they use those fire fuel canisters and they emit a really strong, bad odor, so I would not use them as a dinner/table centerpiece or close to where people gather. My personal choice would be to use candles that have 3 or more wicks in them. Love the idea of these pits though.

[@JustGG1956]

DOLLAR TREE SAW: As soon as you buy it tighten up the screws then coat the ends of the blades and screws with HOT GLUE. I do this and the saw lasts through a couple projects before quitting. I like using these saws because it is sharp for a while at least until it is no longer usable.

[@TheThriftyChica]

Very pretty! I love how the wooden one looks so much more expensive than the cost. The white one looks like stone! Stacking the frames would be awesome with coastal decor!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much! I agree the framed one looks very costal!

[@niksmith1039]

The bowl is my favorite! Very crafty indeed! Thank you for sharing.

[@jonyelle1]

Great video! All 3 were great ideas! I liked the 1st one the best! Very creative. I appreciate the fact that you used some of the comments as constructive feedback and learning tools. Try not to take some "comments" too personally. Use them to continue to grow and not be discouraged or give up! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your ideas!! They were awesome!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much! We are happy we have people who can help us learn and be patient as we grow ❤

[@rachelking7002]

I love all three but I was wondering if it'll be easier to glue all the Jenga pieces together then stain them. I feel she could've saved her time since she didn't use all of them and put some in the bottom. What do you think? I feel the last one is the easiest and probably the cheapest. 💵 Over all I enjoyed this video very creative ideas! I'm definitely trying one of these. I'm subscribing to watch more of your creative crafts!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you for subscribing! The reason I didn't glue them together then stain them is because the stain doesn't stick to any parts with a tiny bit of glue plus any gaps you see would be more obvious since there wouldn't be stain on it. You can definitely do it that way but this way looked cleaner :) And yes I definitely stained too many lol.

[@rachelking7002]

@@TheCraftyCouple yeah you're right about the stain. I actually thought that through after I made the comment. I guess I could also use white paint maybe.

[@truthtube1673]

The first one can be notched in to a large wood table by cutting a groove and you have a firepit table! Great ideas here thanks very helpful

[@heffasaywhat8259]

I love how this makes it into my algorithm after battling a snowstorm in texas

[@kerryisham3045]

These are so cool! I think I'm going to do the last one made of the frames. I am so tired of being isolated with just my cat during this pandemic. There's a little patio out back at my apartment building, and when the weather breaks, I think I'm gonna make me a cute little fire pit to help me relax.

[@ginasienia9622]

DO IT❣️

[@bumblebeethoughts9753]

Is anyone else binge watching?! 😃

[@msladyboyd1]

Very simple and creative ideas, I really love💕them all! They give any tabletop outside or inside, or any room a nice quite ambience. Thanks for the video.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much for watching! ❤

[@sharonhendrix9539]

Love all the Fire Pits but the Jenga block one wow is beautiful I haven’t seen anyone build one out of Jenga blocks and I love diys using Jenga blocks❤👍🏻

[@juicylips811]

Awesome! I love the first one! I’m definitely gonna hit up dollar tree and try to recreate it a bit longer and wider!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

We would love to see photos if you decide to recreate it!

[@cynthiawatson991]

The jig a blocks with the stir sticks is my favorite up they are all great! Thank you for sharing!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you! I think that's my favorite too. 😁

[@SuccessBug]

I watch a ton of dollar tree diys. And this is one of my favorites 💕

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@mimimakeslifesimple4367]

I absolutely love this idea. I can't pick a favorite. They are all 3 so pretty. I love them!!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much! ♥️

[@dudie812]

Can't decide which is my fav. I might have to make all 3. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thanks for watching! Send us a picture if you end up making them 🙂. We would love to see them.

[@kmoy]

Fun!! Mystery solved. Didn’t know these table top fire pits were fueled by those little sterno fuel canisters. I love the sacks of rocks from dollar tree. I’ve used them in many a potted plant and terrarium. I liked all three but the first is my fave. The second is cute and it’s a good use of the tub. Third is most creative. Great ideas guys!! 👍🏼🥳💗

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate it! ♥️♥️

[@caroletaylor894]

I like the Jenga pit.

[@CharmaineSkaggs208]

I am completely blown away at your incredible ideas you've SO kindly shared with us!!! Keep them coming please.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

You're too kind! Thank you so much! ♥️

[@nickdrew1859]

I really love the first one I kinda want to make it to be where I put my keys and wallet when I come home but maybe stain with oil paint.

[@Marixpress2]

I have no need for these but here we are 😄😍

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Haha thanks for watching 🙂

[@TamLue]

I enjoyed these ideas. My only critique would be the wastage of the rocks in the big bowl and the extra blocks in the first project. If you're a frequent crafter or on a budge you don't want to waste all that extra material that could be used for future projects (or the few dollars to pay for extra bags of rocks, as not many come in one bag) for the under part that can't be seen. I'd fill it up instead with dirt or sand, rice or beans or anything durable that I could get either free from the ground around me or for VERY cheap in large quantities (like the dry rice and beans), or even natural gravel from a driveway or something. Then put the decorative rocks on top of that, enough to cover what's underneath.

[@fifilavie6485]

Wellcome

[@elizabethtrihub8047]

The third is easiest and so cute. They're all great, but I like the third one

[@blklacquer]

First one, but I can see using several of the 3rd for outdoor weddings or picnics etc.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you for watching!

[@sandraonyemauche235]

I loved all three because I believe their individual sizes will be appropriate for where I would fit them on (space wise) ..but really, the first one stole it 👍😍

[@Gen_just_Gen]

Keep them coming guys these were awesome ideas. I'm using this as wedding center pieces. 😘😘

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@makeitmichele8397]

I love the 1st and 2nd one. You really brought out the beauty of the wood and made the plastic bowl unrecognizable. So creative!!!

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

I'm a tumbling Tower fan, so definitely love that one the best, but they are all SO AWESOME! I need to go to bed, but can't quit watching your videos 😁

[@dellamartinez2539]

🤣 I do the same.. just found channel and I’m stuck on it!! Never thought I could be so diy addicted 😂….. never gonna catch up😂… I don’t mind.. cool ideas , great look too!!!!

[@simplydee3160]

The first one is definitely my favorite ❤but you did great with all. I think I’ll make the first one but add mirrored glass to the side for a little affect. Thanks for sharing

[@andrenorrils8345]

Love all 3 but I would probably do the 3rd one since it was the simplest out of all of them.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you!!

[@TracvM320]

I have seen these at fancy restaurants - I love them! They use sternos like you use under food in a serving line. The ones I have seen are as long as the tables -they honestly look like planter boxes but they are reinforced with glass- anyway this is a charming and relaxing idea- great job- wish I had the patience to paint all those little pieces!! Then glue them!! 😳not for me

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you for watching ❤

[@marqueatas1983]

I like the first one with the blocks better

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

I made the little box and it was a big hit! I wish I could show you a photo. :) The only thing I suggest is a different brand (maybe not Dollar Tree?) of the oil wick drum. The one from DT barely burned for a half hour. Still very worth the fun of crafting and a cool conversation piece!

[@TheCraftyCouple]

We would love to see a photo! You can join our fb group and post it if you'd like. The link is in the description:) I'm so glad you liked it! I'm so sorry it didn't last long sometimes DT products aren't very consistent with quality.

[@brandileo9677]

Loved them all my only thing that would worry me is the wood catching on fire :( i would prob wanna make a cement bowl filled with the rocks and fire

[@TheCraftyCouple]

We addressed the concerns in the pinned comment :) thank you for watching.

[@brandileo9677]

I know i saw i was just saying that with my mind I would worry lol but i loved them thats why i said the kind i would make to not worry but great vid tho

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you so much!

[@sparklebabe3481]

That first one would make a fire ass succulent planter *goes to buy supplies*

[@clairewyndham1971]

Another thing tabletop firepits are good for..letting kids roast marshmallows when indoors ( read: quarentined)..I made these firepits several years ago..and have made grandkids very happy in December making s'mores while watching the snow fall!. Addressing that 3ed one..after glueing it together, I will also be adding a cricut design depending on the holiday or event!!. I can also see adding "feet" to the bottom via 4 marbles on each corner or Jenga blocks.

[@toniaday3]

I love all of them I think my favorite one is the first one.😩 I cannot choose. ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you for watching! ❤

Acrylic paint and wood are both flammable instead of wood you should used sand and rocks. Place tiles underneath to isolate it from your furniture

@@TheCraftyCouple I just bought some of those little squares, I am SO making that.

[@lynneclark2265]

They were all great, but I like the long one with the 3 canisters best. It seems like it would "fill a table" better. The others were small enough for a side table or foot stool only.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

Thank you! So happy you liked them ♥️😊

[@michaelfan90]

The first one you made was beautiful. I wouldn't make it I fire pit (I have a curious toddler) but maybe a fountain or a decorative flower pot. All of them were cool but I really loved the first one.

[@TheCraftyCouple]

I would recommend putting battery operated candles in it instead :)

[@michaelfan90]

Did you buy the little blocks from the dollar tree ad well?

[@TheCraftyCouple]

The blocks are the tumbling tower game from Dollar Tree :) if they aren't in your store you can order them online and have them shipped to your closest store.

[@ravendbishop1961]

These are cute but very unsafe. Plastic and wood are not good vessels for fire-they can ignite from heat. Those river rocks can crack and burst sending shards across the room. I’m glad you haven’t had any problems, but it’s important to use proper materials when creating fire vessels.
