[@marycollins1631]

The contemporary ocean vibe painting is lovely! You have great homemade gift ideas a for coastal cottage or beach house.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you! 😊

[@terribushta6032]

I liked everything but those candle holders and that paint pour was awesome. Please continue showing us more paint pouring.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thanks Terri! I want to try more paint pouring with the different ways to do it. So yes, definitely more to come. 😊 Thanks for watching 💗💗💗

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

These are really nice. I really like the paint pour painting (coral reef). It really has a retro psychedelic look to it.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thanks Jennifer! Highly recommend just because it’s so fun! 💕

[@lanatownsend3972]

I live in Florida. Although surrounded by the ocean on our coast', I rarely get to go. I'm 51 now. Starting a new life. I want my home to show my Love of the Coastal Beauty. Although limited funds for things. So I need all the cheap DIY tips I can get. I shop mostly $$ tree. But I like / want High End Looking Decor. I'm excited to have joined & see your decor creations.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi Lana! That’s sounds wonderful to get to live close to the ocean even if you don’t get to go much. I’m so happy you like my channel. Have a happy 4th! 💗🇺🇸💗

[@joycehobbs7564]

I live on a lake so I have coastal decor. Loved both paintings & shell candle holders.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thanks Joyce! 💗💗💗

[@barbaraclanton-px9wi]

Very cool paint pouring picture and crushed glass picture.Artistis looking at.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you Barbara. I’ll be making another beach decor video very soon. 💗

[@Laura-re9ye]

OMG!!! I've turned my apartment into beach theme, but didn't know what to decorate it with....I know now. Thank you so much. 😁👍

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

How fun! 💗💗💗

[@ElizabethJack-wh8zw]

Hi thank you so much for sharing beautiful ideas and lovely home

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thanks so much for watching Elizabeth 💗

[@marymattson2122]

Loved the sea shell candle holders. But I really liked the prints at the beginning also.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi Mary! Thanks so much for the nice comment 🥰 The paintings were so fun to do 💗💗💗

[@angelanapier4248]

I love all of those. I have a beach themed bathroom that those would look so cute in.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

I’m so happy you liked them! Thanks Angela 💗💗💗

[@kellyanne7225]

I love anything coastal and beach themed! However, I live in MN, so it looks very out of place here. We will be able to spend more time in FL and these ideas will be repeated in our FL “temporary” home! The first painting is my favorite. Absolutely stunning! 🤩

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi Kelly! It’s out of place at my house too 😂 but I still enjoy making beach things. I plan to have another beach themed video this summer too. 💗

[@gailbarrett9834]

Love all of them

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you Gail 💗

[@jennip8585]

I probably would've put those glass beads in a ziplock bag before crushing. That way they would've all been contained. Fun fact: if you would've put the candle in the freezer, it would've come out with no problem. I don't know why that works, but it does. (I learned that from another DIY er)😉 I love all of these, by the way, and watching you drag the poured paint into a coral painting was really satisfying. The more you dragged the spatula through the paint, the better it looked. These were all absolutely awesome. Thank you so much for this!! 🥰

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thanks Jenni, great ideas 😉 That pour painting was really a lot of fun and I didn’t want to stop 😂 Have a great weekend 💗💗💗

[@ksilva9437]

You are just adorable to watch. I love your ideas! I can not wait to try the glass painting! Thank you!

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Awww thank you! The painting really was so much fun! 💗💗💗

[@connieshaffer4381]

Thank you for sharing your inspirational ideas. I loved your coral paint pour, I've always wanted to try it. I didn't know you could do it so affordable. Take care and remember to smile, it doesn't cost anything 😊

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Thank you Connie! It was really fun to do. 💗💗💗

[@Kati_k_kuriosz]

I love your first project! This for sharing tip on crushing glass. I’ve not heard “all Willy nilly’ in so long ❤😂

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Yeah I say Willy nilly a lot 😂

[@dianethompson9525]

I love the two paintings!! I’m lazy, so I’d probably use glitter on the first painting instead of glass.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi Diane! Glitter would be so pretty too! I’ve seen paintings in stores like that and I love them. 💗💗💗

[@jacquimg2469]

Really unique and creative crafts! I haven’t seen these anywhere else. Thank you. I had a beach themed summer last year - I may have to have one again this year. 🐚

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi Jacqui! Thank you so much. I have plans to make another beach themed video coming up soon 😉 💗💗💗

[@Tim_HBP]

Great video. For crushing the glass I would put it in a zip lock bag and then cover it with a towel to see if it works well.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Great idea 💗

[@kmom1441]

My favorite was the coral painting - it does look fun! To melt candles I usually put in the oven on warm to 200 degrees until melted (depends on the size of the candle for how long) - just another way to go about it:)

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

That painting was the most fun!! I loved making it. Hey thanks for the candle melting tip! I may try that next time 💗💗💗

[@janeenmckenzie4586]

I really enjoyed you showing your errors & telling us about better ways of achieving the result, thank you 🙏🏼

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

I think I would have put the picture with hite at bottom with starfish as if white sand. Beautiful never the less.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Haha I debated a long time about that. Thanks so much for watching Linda 💗💗💗

[@perfectlyflaweddorisann6743]

The paint pouring is everything! It is my first thing to do tomorrow!

Thank you! It was my first try and I’m sure I’ll be doing some more. 💗💗💗

I love beach decor. The paintings are awesome. I had thought of doing a shadow box with beach color seaquins, but like the glass look better.

[@thedistressedprincessdiy]

Hi Mary! For a little extra sparkle you can add some white glitter and some crushed up mirror. I’ve done this as well and boy does it shine!! Thanks for watching and happy crafting!💗💗💗

Thank you Lindy. This glass is not very sharp but you should definitely wear gloves anyway. 💗💗💗

I don’t see why not. Most people use resin or epoxy, I just wanted a cheaper alternative. 💗💗💗

[@mandyt1918]

Yay, finally a beautiful glass art piece that I don't need resin to make. And I have everything needed on hand. Gorgeous pieces. It's been a challenge finding videos for coastal art and decor that either isn't cheesy or just too complicated for the average person. So happy I stumbled upon your channel. 💙

Putting the candles in the fridge or freezer for a while will make the wax contract; therefore making it easier to get out of the mold.
