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.

    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.

    • @Amy804Sycamore
      @Amy804Sycamore หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    • @Amy804Sycamore
      @Amy804Sycamore หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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 🥲

      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~

      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~
