Great video, thanks. 🇨🇦

Second comment
Nice and practical
This is wonderful. I can't wait to try it, so I can teach finger knitting to my great-grandchildren. I crochet and I was trying to teach it to them, but they can't seem to catch on. Have you completed any item? . Thank you so much for posting this video.
This is the rotary cutter one
Absolutely beautiful! I have never heard of this non-profit organization and just stumbled upon it! I cannot wait to spread the word to my environmental group and others!

Sweet!
If tracing paper was used for the initial freehand, one could place it face down on the colored side of the aluminum to emboss it.
Thank you!!!
These are great ideas! I love the way all parts were from recycled items. Thank you for posting this...
Thanks for watching! Hope you get the chance to make some of your own!
Dislimar materials will react with another. The hanger & staples will corrode with contact with aluminum. Just saying
Meanwhile I truly enjoyed the video
I like when the mask has a different fabric for the lining so I can easily tell which side is which when I put it on. Since you cut out two fabrics I thought that's what you were going to do.
Hi Fran, that's a good idea. We've seen this mask customized many different ways and think that would be a functional and lovely version.
Grace you’re so amazing and great at teaching how to do things!
Can't wait to make a bouquet for my table that will last forever!
I found your channel through a Goodwill upcycle video. I have watched several videos featuring Jenny doing projects. Really great ideas. Would love to see more projects from Perennial!!!
Thanks Kelly! We're hoping to start creating more content here in the near future!
