How long did you wait after you decoupaged before you washed? I wonder if you would wait say 30 days time for it to set if that would make a difference? Thank you for sharing.
Love the trees by the way. Thank you for your inspiration. I too have a stash of spindles. Someone on FB tore out there stair railing and offered up for free. Thankfully I snatched them. The spindles aren’t real wood but I still think it would work.
Hi Sylvia, I just shared your video on FB. We’ve got to get your viewer count up😊
Brilliant idea!!! I know know what to do with the pile sitting in my backyard.
I’m glad you like them and inspired to try making them! Thank you!
Love love love these! I have so many spindles. What an awesome idea!❤
Thank you! Yeah my hoard now needs replenishing ha ha ha !!
Love these! I need to get to your shop… ❤
Thank you! And if you make your way to my shop let me know so I can be there !!
loved your spindle trees. All the different colors like that too. They are a lot of work. Awesome idea. Hope you sell them all. 😊❤❤
Thank you! And yes, I wanted to try different colors to see if one sold better than another but no, they all sold within 30 minutes
I love these!
Thank you! They’re now one of my favorite projects!
❤❤
Thank you!
The trees are beautiful! Love them just as they are or mini lights zigzaged down them or maybe some tinsel or ribbons. So many possibilities! ❤
Ohhh love the ribbon and light ideas, Thank you April!
On the saw, you could’ve used the excess paper you tore off to match those little spots that you painted…want sure if you thought about that…😮
You are right!!! I should have and didn’t think of it! It’ll be in the back of my mind for next time!! Thank you!
Great tutorial! So glad you used protection 🤭Thanks Sylvia ❤
Thanks Cindy! 🤣😂🤣
New sub! Welcome to the community!! Love loved your projects
Ahh Thank you Kimberly! I appreciate the support.
I love your sled! And that you matched the plaids across the two slats. So many wouldnt have done that! Still watching the skate....
Thank you! I was scared about matching the plaids lines, fortunately the slats were straight edges and made it easier :)
Love your cabin piece. Perfection.
Ahh thank you MaryAnn, you are so sweet!
I love what you did with the tree, it was so unique. Like Sonnet putting it on a pelt board. I also loved the cozy cabin in a cozy cabin. Such a great piece. I also love your intro and ending with the trees in the background. Did you rename your videos? Catchy name. I enjoyed meeting you at the retreat. Looking forward to more great videos
Thank you Katie! I’m a little partial to the cabin :) And no, the backyard woods is a coincidence with the name. I started workshops in the backyard of a friends bar few years ago and that’s how we got BackYard Brushes. I just live in a small cabin in the woods
They are all wonderful! I especially love the plaid on the sled. I have a sled that I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it and you just inspired me! Thanks Sylvia! Cindy-CnC
Ahhh that makes me happy! I can’t wait to see it when you’re done!
Cute
Thank you Sherry !
Omg Sylvia!! I did the same thing with Connie’s ornament on the house!! 😂❤ that’s crazy!! 🤪 I just haven’t edited those projects into a video!
LMAO! Guess it’s true, great minds think alike!
The saw is such a unique project!!! I love it!!!😍
Thank you!
So cute! Can’t wait to dive into my Maker’s Box. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you have as much fun as I did! So many possibilities!
Great projects and blending of the papers! ❤
Ahhh Thank you April!
What a great gift idea!
Thank you, that’s what I thought also!
I just love you! What a great idea and I love how detailed you are in your instructions! ❤️
Ahhh thank you!! And don’t forget to protect your appendages 😂
Thank you!
Beautiful! Love them! ❤
Thank you!
I’m so glad, thank you!
love this idea! Thanks for showing how to double the ornaments up! ❤
Thank you and you’re welcome…. BTW I play both sides…. Team quick dry and team clear
Great tutorial on these ornaments! They turned out great! Glad to see you are crafting safely😂
Ha ha ha thank you April!!
Very pretty and thoughtful gift.
Thank you!
Great video. Love the double sided ornaments. Hope your feeling better.
Thanks so much!
Looks beautiful!!
Thank you!
What a fun idea. Can't wait to try some!!
Make sure to show me what you create!
I liked the idea of doing both sides. THANKS. Also was sorry to hear you was so sick. I was sick for a wk a week ago. Not fun. I just get mad when sick for I lose time for crafts and housework. Not that I enjoy housework, lol.
Right? I feel even further behind on my todo list!! I tried telling my husband the allergic reaction was to cleaning products, but I don’t think he bought it! Hope you’re feeling well and back in your path to creativity!
the analogy! I had to stop and take my headphones out so your buddy Tony could hear😂❤😂 Loved the double sided concept and totally ordering some of that glitter sealer! So pretty!!!!❤❤❤
And I bet Tony was not surprised and I bet he wasn’t speechless! LMAO
I love these! ❤ The glitter/STD reference. Classic Sylvia. 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
This video was a great inspiration for my upcoming Craft Fairs! So glad I watched! ❤
Oh I’m so glad!!
The analogy of glitter and an STD… 😂😂😂. They’re so cute, love the double sided ornaments!
Thank you! And ya know that analogy is spot on!! 😂
I have only used 1 paper out of all of Sonnets boxes, here it is October and they are just sitting there. I'm way behind. Loved the sunflower. Ill have to try the milkpaint because I like that chippy look you got on the frame.
I’m loving the milk paints and. Wes to order more. Hopefully you’ve been able to play with them more !
🥰🥰🥰
Love the cowbell! I have to try decoupaging on baskets. It looks so good!
Love all these pumpkins! Great projects for a craft day with friends! ❤
Thank you April!! I appreciate all of your support and friendship and feel bad I didn’t get more one on one time with you this past week…. Which means we need to get together soon for some thrifting!
Nice never thought to put napkins on items you did. I liked the Bell the best. But again I liked them all. Thank you
You should get some handled sponge makeup brushes. For applying ink to small products, you have more control applying. They say Dollar Tree and others has them. They don't leave circles. I loved the bottle.
I liked the stool. I liked them all. The hat came out nice too.
WOW I loved them all. You are awesome in all ways. Love the video. Thanks.
Very clever use of the napkins - they are so pretty! Love the basket especially!!!! And that lighter technique - super rockstar cool!! MORE COWBELL!
@@sparkofvintage omg Needs more cowbell!! Thank you Cindy!
Your lantern project was the best one I've seen yet! Loved your projects and excited for your next one! You CRUSHED IT!
@@CreateYourOwnCozy ahhhh Thank you!! That means a lot!
@@BackYardBrushes I’m so proud of you!!
@@CreateYourOwnCozy thank you!!
Ahh thank you!!!
My sweet friend, WOW!!! You absolutely CRUSHED it with all these projects!!! Thank you for not asking me not to choose a favorite!!! I love each one for different reasons…however, my favorite part was the emotional connection this box offered you - hugs!!! Creativity truly is therapeutic & heart healing!!! Thank you for sharing & inspiring!!! ❤️🥰❤️
Thanks Kristen! I was really relating to your emotional connection in your video too! I get it!
Just subbed and have to say you’re my kind of girl I can just tell. I have a very similar attitude I giggled when you said I don’t care if I get some paint on the floor my husband is in Germany 😂😂😂. Loved everything but the lantern was my favorite ❤️
Ahh thank you! Love hearing when someone gets my attitude and sense of humor!!
