Hot Cocoa Christmas Cottage DIY
Hot Cocoa Christmas Cottage DIY
One of our Christmas traditions is to have a hot cocoa bar throughout the season. Our cocoa bar is self-serve with everything you need in one spot (except the water). This hot cocoa cottage can be created using a basic bookcase or hutch. Creating a roof unit to set on top of the bookcase is an easy way to set up the cocoa cottage and then take it off after Christmas to use the bookcase for other purposes. I used scrap wood, cardboard, shingles and scalloped trim from Hobby Lobby, and the bookcase is from Target.

DIY Pirate Ship - Halloween party backdrop
มุมมอง 60หลายเดือนก่อน
For my mom’s birthday on Halloween, we did a pirate theme. Everyone was asked to wear a pirate costume and I decked out the dining room for the party. Creating this faux pirate ship façade was so easy and affordable. To keep the pirate mast upright, I just placed it into the umbrella hole of our patio table. A pirate themed party is so fun and this fake ship just made it so much more festive. B...

Halloween Coffin Charcuterie Board We celebrated my daughter’s birthday with a Halloween birthday design. When I brought her and her friends home from school, they were starved for an after school snack. The coffin charcuterie board was the perfect centerpiece to display the free for all snack assortment. I also added little wooden knobs to the bottom of the coffin which made it easier to lift ...

Hello! I am looking to use this method to transform a chocolate brown sofa to black, it's the suede like material, I am curious if you could possibly explain what the difference in texture may be IF there is any?? Also, can you explain applying fixative to prevent staining or color running?
Absolutely stunning. I've decided not to use MDF, ever, now that it's coming out how toxic it is to breathe in ANY of the dust whatsoever - akin to asbestos, health experts/biological builders are saying! I was going to frame in a built in wardrobe hack with MDF, got it cut to size at DIY store, and even having the pieces in my bedroom for a bit I got a headache, so this stuff is NOT good. I took it to the dump and am using plywood instead. Not as smooth, but it's not as toxic either, and my health is my top priority.
I really want to use your approach. What do you use to torch the resin? Does the plastic wrap stay on until the resin dries and then comes off? Thanks!
Nice display
Cutting the hole for the wheel hangar depends on the hardware you purchase - check manufacturer specks before drilling for bolts that hold the wheel hangar. My hardware calls for 2 inches.
I liked it better the original color would have matched my living room perfect--But thanks for the info--I have a light blue loveseat I want to dye brown--Now I know how!
If the fixture is light enough... Had anyone tried 3M sticky to hold up the whole thing? Trying to avoid holes in the wall...
I'm currently dying a red couch given to me, dying it black. It's kind of stressful, any tips for going red to black?
So pretty, but you could have used mini cookie cutter to waste less of the printed clay.
Can I get the links to the sconces bulbs please
Sew the zipper on before cutting the fabric! Don't forget to prewash everything, the zipper too. If you have an old matress lying around or find one for nothing, take the zipper from it. :)
Where do you have that clock from?
Perfect for spying out guests!
Color bleed through ?
I think this is absolutely beautiful and spot on style for Thanksgiving. Cheers!!
What is that fluted material you used on the lower doors? Thank you.
do you think it's necessary use a carpet or upholstery cleaner to clean the sofa after dying it? especially for an everyday sofa? second question: i have a bright blue couch and want to go for a dark teal green color. do you think the blue of the couch will affect the final color and i need to account for that or do you think i should just find the exact color on their website and it will overlay the current color.
SO BEEAAUTIFUUUL ❤
That doesn’t look very Thanksgiving(ish). Orange mums, ghourds, cornucopia, etc is what’s needed
does the dye change the material feel?
Great question, Debbie! The dye did not change the fabric at all. In fact, with all the rinsing I think it feels softer since the vintage fabric had probably never been cleaned before. If you use fabric paint, it will be crunchy and change the feel, but not the dye.
Hi Amy- beautiful piece. How did it hold up over time? I am thinking about doing this to a canvas like material sectional 😬 am I crazy? My husband thinks so. 😂
It's been about a year and it still looks the same. The color hasn't faded, no dye has rubbed off, and I still love it. It's not our main sofa to sit on, but as a vintage accent piece, it's been great.
Where’s the link to the bulbs?
I don't know why the rating it 3.7 but I've been using my set of 4 for over a year, no problems. rstyle.me/+n1LJK1hncIQHaknyoMzDyQ I use these to charge the bulbs: rstyle.me/+vlQuQ6bwvnI0dIiHRjDYuw
So crafty!! I love this and I’m sure it made your mom’s day very special.
Awe, thanks! She loved it!
Very handy idea you've got a new sub! How has it held up one year later? Is it due to re dye?
Thanks for asking! The sofa looks great and the fixative works to keep dye from coming off.
Some use salt, I’m wondering if that is an unnecessary step.
I just followed the instructions on the RIT dye and fixative bottles and it worked perfectly. Spraying it on was definitely the fastest application.
Very helpful thanks :)
Thank you!
Does the couch have to be completely dry before you spray the fixative?
Thanks for asking. No, the fabric doesn't need to be completely dry before applying the fixative. Just make sure to fully rinse and apply as directed.
Hi there, so after the fixative is sprayed on, your rinsed it? I didn't see any water in your video so I'm curious.@@Amy804Sycamore
Beautiful!❤
Thank you! 😊

How do you clean it? It seems like it wouldn't be wipeable
This area isn't for food prep, but my husband does make his coffee over here. Fortunately, he works at the front of the counter and we haven't had any issues.
@Amy804Sycamore ok. Thx
Your video was very informative and easy to follow. I too have a vintage velvet couch ,using Rit dye with a sprayer then the fixative. I have a problem though ,the dye is still coming off on to my hands & i only gave it 1 coat ! Do you think extra coats of fixative will stop this? I went on the Rit dye website store and they recommend not to use Rit dye on furniture as you can't rinse it out . I might try spraying with scotch guard
I did a few coats of fixative so maybe that helped. I've had no dye come off on our skin or clothes. I also rinsed it thoroughly and air dried it out. I know RIT doesn't recommend it on furniture, but I took the risk and fortunately it worked out for me.
Amazing table scape! Where did you find the moon plates and are the owls napkins or plates?
Thank you! I got those on clearance at MyMindsEye.com
I so wish I saw this before installing mine! I might have overlapped the seams just the tiniest hairline amount because I encountered the gapping and shrinkage problem too. Wish I could see how you fixed your gaps with colored pencils!
I just grabbed my daughter's colored pencils in all the colors from the wallpaper and tested them out on paper first. I also used a regular pencil to darken some of the spots too. I almost cried when I saw the shrinkage!
Hello, I’m doing this with my sofa and I have one question. Can you add water to the fixative? Every other method you add water but when you want to use spray method it doesn’t say use water, I have a big sofa so I will have to use at least 10 bottles and it is not cheap here in Belgium 🥲
Great question! I googled this and found out: use 1/2 cup of ColorStay Dye Fixative with 3 gallons of water
Looks great! What a smart stuffy solution!
THanks Tara! We definitely have a stuffy farm over here.
Hey there is no liquid starch where I live, what can we use in place?
Corn starch and water. I don't remember the ratio though, but I'm sure it's here on the interwebs under someone's old fashioned hacks.
@@JustMe-jc2ft thank you!
Have you tried a organic paint? For example ECOS Paint or a lime wash paint
I haven't painted furniture, I read reviews about it leaving a crunchy texture. I have lime washed my walls, but I wouldn't do that to upholstered furniture either.
I made one like this today and I absolutely love it thank you so much
Great job! We still love ours!
Tried this and when it dried it began to come off the wall. Applied more starch. Same thing. I did it over and over and over. I don’t think it will last a week. I’m so disappointed. I rent and hate white walls.
That's so disappointing. My fabric looks the same as it did from day one. Are you using heavy fabric or slinky fabric that could have too much polyester... ??? I'm not sure, but my cotton based fabrics have done great and I love the price so much better than peel and stick wallpaper.
I love this idea to recreate for my vent. So, does it open up to use the storage space? Do you have a video on that? Thank you for sharing.
I really wanted to make it lift for storage, but I didn't want to spend the money on the gas lift hinges that it would have required for the weight of my cover - it wasn't worth it for the small amount of space we'd be able to access. And regular hinges were not strong enough for all my wood. I'm sure a pro could have figured something out, but I'm no pro~
What type of starch is it? Im from india i could only find two types when i searched on amazon. One was clothes washing stach and one was wallpaper starch. Im thinking of doing fabric wallarts.
I used Purex Sta Flo liquid starch (got it at Walmart) but it's no longer available at Walmart or Amazon. So, recently I purchased this one and will be trying it soon but I'm sure it will work just fine: rstyle.me/+azj331dO_31LByytFSvgGg
is this for any type of fabrics?
I don't think so. Too heavy, too thick, or too slippery will most likely not work or have issues. I have only tried it with cotton fabrics so I can only speak to those working.
Enjoyed watching, turned out beautiful! But I had a really hard time hearing you. Would be much better if you could talk louder! Tyfs
Hi. When I spray painted a plastic bugs in gold they stay sticky. Any suggestions @804_Sycamore😊
A sticky feel could be from painting in humidity, not allowing the first coat to fully dry, the quality of the spray paint, or not using a primer first... Some paints do take longer to cure, maybe give it five days and test. I hope it works out next time~
maybe you need more of a introw showing what your making / the final product. maybe you need to talk about your meshermaents in the voice over cos it sound like you don't know what they are.
So pretty!
Thank you, Tara! So nice to see your name pop up here~ I hope all is well with you and Ava!
Those turned out absolutely beautiful! I haven't seen anyone use the Mask and Peel so I haven't tried it but after watching this I most certainly will be trying it out.
Thank you so much! That mask and peel is awesome! I will be using it on our interior french doors. Best of luck on your project!
