We tried DIYing Pottery Barn Holiday Decor

[@MikaylaSnow]

I can’t believe best dressed has been making videos of her own, been in school, and edited your guys videos! You go girl!

[@kaylarenee4500]

i love ashley!!

[@user00616]

Loooooove her!!!!

[@juliagasiamis5838]

kayla renee ikr she’s actually the best

[@eufrasiaagnes]

OMGGG ME TOO!!!

[@fennavanderwall9746]

Love how you also include the prices of the materials like paint! You really listen to what your followers want! Love you girls! ❤️

[@dee8546]

Lol this was something I didn't like. But it is more realistic for us cause we probably don't have as much craft supplies as them

[@heatherraley6038]

Can y'all bring back the dollar store challenges please. I like the DIY wreath better.

[@TheSorryGirls]

We sure can!

[@zelenoye]

yeah, DIY one had brighter lights)))

[@carolinetimpson3470]

That wreath is to die for!!!!

[@graceannecasto3792]

I feel like this was one of the best episodes of this series yet! You really out did yourselves. Im especially impressed by Kelsey's freehand painting/sharpie-ing skills!

[@reddalmatian]

They also need to do this with magnolia home decor

[@nickykounani6979]

Loved the wreath! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also maybe do the calendar using a baking tray????

[@KellyBeth]

that's such a good idea! that would mean the nice edges are already done and rounded off for you!

[@yenyandco]

Yesss! Good idea!

[@saraheguinn]

and to keep it small, you could use a baking sheet specifically from a toaster oven!

[@lestranged]

Great idea and it's much safer, cutting that sheet metal leaves such sharp scary edges esp if you have kids. Baking tray has nice finished edges. The magnet could also be made lots easier, craft stores (and probably dollar stores) sell precut foamie snowflakes and other holiday shapes.

[@mrslukeskywalker]

damn great idea, I want to make one but I didn't want to have a bunch of sharp ducting laying around for my dog to try and eat

[@my0nick0my0love]

ASHLEY WAS YOUR EDITOR!!! I’ve been BAMBOOZLED. I love her 😭😭

[@kaylarenee4500]

my0nick0my0love same!😭😭

[@paigenewham2251]

Same!!

[@eufrasiaagnes]

SAMEEE!!!!!!

[@caroli7883]

Saaaaame! What about Justin tho?

[@my0nick0my0love]

CGJ I had the same thought. Isn’t Justin their editor? Who knows what is happening bts 😋

[@kapeamalia2743]

I could definitely use a dollar store baking tray for the countdown! Love your content always 💕

[@jl-Sp]

Tina Marie baking tray was the 1st thing that came to my mind too 👌

[@Boopiekinz509]

Yesss 😍😍😍

[@stephaniesiatta8603]

It's called a grapevine wreath. Thanks for the cute projects!

[@thegezzell]

I was gonna say, isn’t it made of grapevines?

[@TheSorryGirls]

amazing thanks!

[@insipidinsanity]

They're magnolia leaves! I have a mag tree in my backyard and make wreaths from it when ever I have to trim the branches.

[@TheSorryGirls]

ohhhh nice!

[@IsaRaelene]

That must be stunning

[@MagnoliaBellydance]

Yes! I was screaming that haha!

[@carolinea4906]

A easier alternative for the second diy.. Just use a baking sheet from dollorama 👍😊

[@TheSorryGirls]

Good idea!

[@ahumanaperson]

And hot glue for the third diy instead of thread

[@rosarythug]

i think the best way to mimic the spots in the original stocking would be by brushing chalk pastels or eyeshadow on it? then maybe using a loose hold hairspray to seal it in. it might not work so well for clothes since it'll rub off easier but for just a decor item it might work

[@galli0]

I was picturing the same, pastels or eyeshadow and a fluffy brush

[@caitlynsoliday9720]

I was thinking maybe teastaining? At least for speckling, that may be an option

[@lucyserrano586]

when you already watched Ashley and the sorry girls and when you discovered still work for them it was like my whole world was collapsing

[@eufrasiaagnes]

ME TOO

[@CarmenSan]

Omg Ashley!!! I didn’t even know she edited your videos, I’m subscribed to her too - how my worlds have collided 😂😂😂 Also I think you did great on all of the DIY’s! Very similar to the originals and at a way better price point 👍🏽

[@auermediaartscrafts]

I love that wreath! 💕👍👍👍

[@EG-qx7bs]

You guys should have used a cookie baking sheet for the Santa calendar and old-timey stencils for the letters. Would have saved sooo much time and made it even MORE vintage.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Yes. Dollar tree might been small but would been cute.

[@stinkbug5310]

I think it was intended to look like a cookie tin lid

[@adriennecorin510]

I think all 3 of your DIYs came out better then the pottery barn ones. I’d buy yours over theirs lol 🎄❄️

[@molloy57]

I’m doing the santa calendar but using a cookie pan from Dollorama! If i’m lazy I will print the calendar and modpodge it 😅🙈

[@Mypokerbuzz]

A cookie sheet would totally work for the Santa countdown sign, as long as it was one that had a uniform rim (some have those handles on the sides, but not all).

[@Whitney_Sews]

Great job! Love the Christmas countdown and the wreath.

[@laurenhume1012]

I LOVE Ashley! I had no idea she edited for you guys ❤ I also really liked the wreath. I may try to make one for my front door 😊

[@aliciasebzda9451]

The wreath is my favorite. 💕 When cutting fake fur you should try using an exacto knife on just the back fabric so you don't cut the fur length. For anyone wanting to sew it, I suggest hand sewing since it's easier to move the fur away from the seam aa you go so you don't have to pick the fur out of the seam later.

[@mommygarcia9137]

Becky the wreath looks as good , if not better than the pottery barn one !! & loved the fur stocking !! So cute !!

[@styledbygabi]

PRO TIP!!! Only cut the BASE of fur fabric to prevent a bunch of flyaway pieces

[@masha7377]

But how do you do that? :o

[@teenytinyflame]

@@masha7377 You have it wrong side up and use small shallow snips to cut sort of between the hair. It cuts down on a lot of shedding

[@hillaryplace9726]

YES! I did a faux fur tree skirt with a gold trim and YES YES YES, only cut the fur fabric base!!!

[@prettiecake]

You can cut faux fur with a razor, sharp box cutter or exacto knife too!

[@Pysslis]

Also have a vacuum cleaner close by.

[@badabeembadaboom]

I so appreciate that you guys are so thorough in making your case for DIY over retail.

[@rebeccaude4412]

LOL Becky-“I don’t know what the word for this is 🤷🏼‍♀️, they’re like 🤔...Sticks or Twigs that are like...wrapped together in a..round...wreath...branchy shaped type deal”? Do you not have grapevines that you could grab & swing on when you were young? They are all over any wooded areas in the Midwest & Southern part of the US! They aren’t true “grapevines”, just large vines from Weeping Willow trees that twist together! So you get a good running start, grab on to the vine & “Wheeee”, (if you have someone to push you), swing really high. They mostly grow near water so we would use them as ropes to swing into ponds & lakes, lol! If I need a base to a wreath, I just go out into the woods, cut vines, soak them in water to make them more pliable & TA-DA...free wreath! They all turned out wonderfully, it makes you wonder why people pay the ridiculous prices when making something like the countdown board yourself is so much more special & will become a treasured family item. These are some of my faves you’ve done! 🤗💜😘

[@tabithalambert2244]

Great job!! It all looks sooooo good. You guys are the queens of not tacky looking diys!!!! Quality!!!! Also thanks sooooo much for listening to your listeners and writing all the prices out!!!

[@Cyndeaaa]

12AM in Malaysia to see sorry girls video before i sleep yeaaa

[@hindranelanko9341]

Oh my god sammmmeeee😂😂👏👏👏

[@ShannonVanFleet]

For the fur stocking, try a tinted dry shampoo or root-touch-up spray! (There's usually more color options in the root touch up spray category)

[@Ash-xx5zd]

Love the countdown. That was commitment. But the gold green asthetic of the wreath is all the inspo!!!! Great dupe selects!!!

[@ninamcleod8101]

i love all your DIY's more then the originals cos they are home made and not spending way to much money! ( i went out and got everything for the wreath and will make it tonight!)

[@rachaelmow]

A good way to add color to fur is to use alcohol based art markers (my favorite being the Copic brand). Loved the video! 💖💖

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

WOW, Kelsey, that tin Advent calendar is worth all the extra effort you had to put in to save so much money! Becky, it's a grapevine wreath. And what a steal! Great job, ladies 💞

[@kindahotmama]

Kelsey did a great job with sign but my fav is the wreath. So simple and cute and looks better than the original in my opinion.

[@mahapervez6003]

Can I use a tin lid from a container for the metal calendar?

[@bellajenna87]

Why not! It'd look really cool

[@7sevendaysara]

the wreath and the calender...woooow so similaaaaar!! and so cheap

[@themusicjunkie4life]

I’m loving the wreath!! I love that it’s not overly Christmas-y and I could probably leave it up longer without being called out 😅

[@NEVERxAxDULLxMOMENT]

You guys are so good at these "knock off" diys. I mean when you compare the two you can tell a lot more that the diy ones were less expensive but no one would ever know otherwise. Ya'll are so creative. I love you channel so much!

[@JennaRevamped]

I actually liked them all and think they all came out great. The Santa Countdown and the Wreath were perfect! The original fur stocking has this sheen to it that I really love lol but the DIY version still came out great!

[@bigscruppy]

Would’ve used a sharpie paint pen so that the grid and the letters are the same colours. And would’ve used a ruler for the grid lines

[@amymuscat34]

please do more of these that cost mow much videos because i love them so much just as much as i love you girls ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ashavila7999]

I think the calendar is the most innovative and it's super cute but the wreath is my fave aesthetic.

[@YoungBowieLover]

I realize they try to make it the easiest DIY possible, but glue is not going to hold that fur stocking together when it gets filled on Christmas. You could have just as easily done a straight running stitch by hand with big stitches and achieved a longer lasting item.

[@lestranged]

Agree. They have been gluing a lot of fabric projects recently that would get a much better result with sewing (and it actually takes LESS time to sew it than to glue and wait to dry). Glue is good for some jobs, like I would have glued the leaves to the wreath instead of wiring, but fabric jobs usually work best with sewing.

[@Xx2good4ux]

I think the purpose of them using glue is to make it more relatable for those who do not have sewing materials on hand, most people would have glue. I agree that sewing it would be a lot better for long lasting purposes, but their goal was to recreate overpriced decor items at a cheaper price. It didn't necessarily have to be functional as long as it looked great :)

[@lestranged]

@@Xx2good4ux Price has a relationship to durability though. if it costs 10$ to make, and falls apart in 5 minutes, that is 10$ wasted. If something lasts for years, you divide the price by the lifespan and how much use you got from the item. Also: needle and thread are cheaper than glue.

[@Xx2good4ux]

lestrange i know you’re exaggerating by saying it’ll fall apart in 5 minutes, but as I said before if you’re using it as a decor piece rather than it’s functionality then I think it holds up pretty well. There’s nothing wrong in taking the less time consuming route if the intention was to just use it as decor. I even agreed in my previous post that sewing it would more durable too so I’m not dismissing that :) I also said that most people would already have glue in their homes on hand versus a needle and thread, I didn’t say anything about it being cheaper. Plus their tutorials are just ideas for diys that you can do, and if you come up with a better method to get the same result than go for it! They’re just trying to post videos that more people can relate to.

[@geministargazer9830]

Glueing things that should be sewn is my biggest pet peeve. I hate it

[@fuzzles93]

That countdown sign is so cute and the wreath turned out so good too

[@PR-pe9oc]

They all look great! I prefer handmade over overpriced, any day. Your DIY’s r actually cheaper since u can reuse most materials like paint. Great job ladies!!

[@ThePirateWife1]

I LOVE all these crafts. The “Santa” calendar is adorable, and my favorite, but maybe using a cookie sheet would’ve been easier than cutting a tin sheet, and edging it😉👍🏼

[@sarahdaily23]

The Santa sign was amazing! I really love the stoking too. Great work you guys!

[@GlitterPaws.]

That Santa sign dupe is so cute! Love these diys. ❄️

[@rebeccareagan6711]

Aw that shoutout to ashley at the end! I found her through your channel a few months ago and I'm so glad I did. Also love these diys. I don't think they have to look exactly like the original to be good.

[@GloriaAnnRodriguez90]

YAS! Love a frugal queen!

[@TheSerafinaRose]

I bought a string of LED's to use on my non-light up wreath for $2 from the dollar store recently. I wasn't sure how it would work out but it was really great! Cool to see you guys suggesting it too!

[@moosella2011]

Obsessed with the wreath and stocking! Also, Becky’s hair is amazing in this video

[@MsJbetancur]

Nailed it!! Becky you took soooo pretty with your dark hair, wow! (You always look beautiful, I just am loving the dark hair!)

[@kayleecartwright4918]

I love your "that cost how much!?" Videos!! Please do more! And the dollar store challenges. Love them too. Thanks girls!!

[@kimendoza]

Yoooo ashley was editing for you guys? that’s LIT i love her!!

[@marycollins848]

For speckle dyeing the fabric, how about using some coffee or black tea and flecking it with a brush onto the faux fur? Then rinse with cold water and dry.

[@trevorsangiorgio5420]

To make fur another color you could use alcohol makers and color the spots right on or you could just regular makers and then water them down with rubbing alcohol for a cheaper alternative

[@bluefox99887]

The original wreath is made with magnolia leaves, it looks like. You can find faux magnolia leaves online or at the craft store. The wreath base is called a grapevine wreath. Thanks for the awesome DIYs! 😊

[@carmenhall3522]

bluefox99887 I was screaming “grapevine!” Lol.

[@morganw4668]

The wreath is definitely the best one!!

[@GlitterBug]

That wreath is beautiful!

[@LeahMaid9]

The DIY wreath is so LUX!!!! Slay it Becky

[@missblondiam]

Loveedd this video!! I've been following Ashley for a while now!! She is amazing!! So funny and has an amazing fashion style!!

[@essargee14]

Ooh the Santa calendar and wreath came out really nice!!

[@tracywaideboer9134]

For the faux fur and that speckled look, maybe use tea to stain it? You could use a damp towel to "dab" or "spot-dye" parts of the faux fur?

[@jihyounnie]

all of these diy's were so good, i love the wreath the most !!!

[@thegreenmountainman8737]

The last one is prettier than the original ! I love the idea of gold leaves and lights 👌

[@HLynn1226]

That countdown is spot on!!!!

[@fraeni90]

Beckie’s dark burgundy hair is STUNNING 😍❤️

[@Middleone7]

u could use hair root touch up spray to speckle(l’oréal makes a good one)! it’s super cheap,easy to use, and if you seal it with hairspray i feel like it would stay pretty well!

[@hey.bincabi]

the wreath turned out soo beautiful! ♡

[@vanesagaspar3368]

I love all of these they came out so well! Thank you for also including the price of the things you already had on hand. It’s super helpful when I have none of those things and want to estimate how much a project will actually cost me.

[@1959dixie]

All looked fantastic but I like the count down to Christmas the best

[@SuperSonicSkyline]

kelsey is my fav ever she cracks me up soooo much! great vids girls love it

[@awoods7440]

Y’all KILLED IT! Especially the calendar and wreath

[@TheMelanieGrace]

I'm in love with the Magnetic Countdown - you did a fantastic job!

[@herronchrisannc]

Becky your hair color looks sooooo good on you! I am absolutely going to DIY that wreath!!

[@user-hz3zj6jl6g]

Wow, the wreath was a stunner!!

[@ditodelirium]

I was totally thinking of trying out a black tea stain to get those speckled bits on the fur! Just brew some tea and then grab the tea bag and set it down on a couple of spots. This might not work but if it did that'd be really easy and more natural looking than paints or other stains!

[@ceylor9725]

I love how you guys include EVERYTHING in the final count, a lot of d.i.y channels rarely do the same

[@ehmann91]

Hi there! You could use a brown mascara and coat some of the hairs on the fuzzy stocking to get the speckled effect!

[@Mimichuck0510]

Kelsey! Your painting skills are A1!! These were really good!

[@kalikuz]

That wreath is everything!

[@Calithrade]

Love the diys this week! KEEP UP THE FESTIVE VIBES!!

[@Cheye-one]

I really like the tin calendar. I wanna make one, I think I’ll use a small baking sheet. Great job

[@PudgeySeal]

You should try to dye the stocking by brushing on some chalk pastels. I've never actually tried it, but the technique works really great with yarn, so it might work with faux fur as well.

[@nicolerabbitt9295]

I love the stocking! Maybe trying to get a faux fur blanket with a similar pattern could have gotten it closer to the speckling on the Pottery Barn original!

[@nittygritty7034]

Y'all are great for acknowledging all your people. I love the sorrysquad.

[@MsLola1220]

whaaaat? i didn't know ashley edited for you guys!! i love her

[@MakeupLover222]

I love all of the DIY ones so much more than the originals!! 😍

[@ellapittman6474]

i love all of this omg!! if ur on a budget like me lolol another great alternative for the sign is to use a baking sheet/pan from the dollar store...very similar!!

[@za-c9297]

To speckle or colour the fur Copic Markers work very well but they are pricey, so I believe you could use any alcohol based marker of which there are many of varying quality. Another good choice are Promarkers.

[@carlaknight9159]

Love them all! Santa countdown is my favorite because $4/day is a tad ridiculous. Also, you can just buy different styles and patterns of faux fur, no need to dye or paint, and they should all be in the same price range. And finally, the leaves in the PB wreath are magnolia leaves! They have a rubbery front, but the back is the luxurious velvet feel. Not sure if you have them in Canada, but they are a southern Kentucky girl’s life! Keep up the great work and merry Christmas!

[@raquelc.c.4195]

These were amazing!! The wreath, especially, just gorgeous! Marry Christmas you guys ❤️

[@mfave4616]

The wreath base is actually called a grape vine wreath! I love those for wreath making, I just made a snowman wreath from two grape vine wreaths of different sizes painted white!!

[@lesliejohnson7247]

I loved all 3. My favorite was the Santa calendar. Maybe shiny spray paint for the wreath but Shazam I think they’re better than the original... especially homemade!

[@shareorshelve]

The wreath was stunning!

[@jocelynohalloran3550]

Loved all 3, but the 2nd one was my fav! 😘

[@MsLaurasaurous]

Did anyone catch her say letters instead of numbers? lol

[@TheSorryGirls]

lol yep.

[@rebekahmorrow1608]

Ok thank goodness someone else caught that.. I thought I was crazy..

[@nicolinamannino8426]

Try adding bronzer or eyeshadow to the fur to get the speckled look!

[@Yme855]

More of these videos pls! They are my favourite
