Thank you, that was fun! About 30 years ago when my kids were young I wrapped every present in brown paper with different colors of ribbon, it was elegant! Then the grandma's showed up with colorful paper wrapped gifts and threw off the whole vibe! 😂
That sounds so beautiful!!! Great idea and you can do that for any occasion so you'd only need one type of wrapping paper! I hate how you have to hold on to random holiday papers all year long and it takes up a lot of space so brown would be ideal
You are so talented! Everything has been beautifully transformed! You have a good eye and intuition to know how to elevate items. Thank you for sharing!
Those trees are so good! What I can’t get over is how you were able to mix colors to even come up with that brown! I wouldn’t have a clue 🤔. So simple but great impact.
Since I have been painting my whole life I have learned what colors make other colors. It has always fascinated me, so I learned it because it was interesting to me. Thank you so much
These projects look great! That's how I like to decorate for the holiday-- get all the stuff together, then figure out what I can put with what. The leftovers in the bottom of the bin get repurposed! 😀
Hi Cory! Nice to see you again. I absolutely loved the bells and the trees in the tins! I seem to be making so many trees this year, and I'm not sure why I am so drawn to them! I made a bunch of Victorian feather trees. It's so fun I can't seem to stop! 😂 I hope you and your lovely family have a very Merry Christmas and a HEALTHY New Year ❤
I thought for a moment that you were going to put the snowball apples on the stair garland, LOL! All these projects are incredibly clever, and I bet your kids are enchanted, especially with the garland. I always marveled at what lovely decorations my mom could fashion from practically nothing. Have to tell you, though, that the bells are my own favorite!❤
I haven't watched your video yet -- I don't have to actually watch it ... I already know that I will definitely love it -- but I hope you and your family have a peaceful Christmas and New Year's with no stress and no sickness.
You created the most high-end looking vignette, which was a few dollars. Just amazing, and I'm so happy to see someone pick up a paintbrush and create beautiful, peaceful art with simple brushstrokes. I have done that a few times and I say to admirers, "you can, too." Thank you for your video.
The tins with the tree look way cool. The trays are so pretty. But I really love the gift box lights, so classy looking.. the merry sign looks so much better. Thanks for sharing.
SO happy to see a new video drop, Cory!! Lovely displays. Am going to try the salt stone technique. Once I bought a can of the 'stone effect' spray paint for use on a lampshade....while the end result worked well, I was put off by the $$$$ of that can of paint, and especially by how it took a LOT of it to get the desired effect. A little does NOT go a long way with stone-effect spray paint, everyone---LOL. Thanks for the fun hack. Merry Christmas to your beautiful family. :)
The video is a good Christmas present from you. I saw your FB post before watching the video. I never would have guessed the before of all of these. Merry Christmas to you and your family Cory!🎄☃️⛸️🛷
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work! If possible, do you think you could show us some ideas that we could do with leftover Christmas decor after everybody sets up their Christmas tree and decorations? There’s always a little bits and pieces of leftover decor. Nobody has any ideas on what to do with them. it’s a shame they have to go to waste.! Sending love and prayers, merry Christmas and a wonderful new year to you and your family❤
Thank you! Depending how small the items are you can put it into vintage glass jars and embellish the lid of the jar. Or if it's larger items you can put it into a vintage large pickle jar. I love how that looks
Bonjour Cory je suis heureuse de voir que vous êtes de retour, j'ai beaucoup apprécié votre tutoriel c'était super cool vos transformation felicitation et merci pour votre partage et je vous souhaite un joyeux temps des fêtes avec votre famille santé et prospérité pour vous. 🎅🌟🎄☃️❄❤❤
Does anyone ( including Cory ) want to come to pick at my small apartment ? I'm moving in December 26th and have more stuff than I have room for . The items will be $5 and less . Mostly $1. Was going to open a booth along with my EBay store. My health took a turn and I had to move to small place until my house sells in NC. I'm giving up some great stuff but it has to be done . I was thinking early January. Details to come .
You have the most amazing gift 🎁. You can take ANYTHING and make it beautiful! Thank you, my friend. ❤️2U & yours
Thank you so much Brenda

I agree! It's so rewarding to make something beautiful for yourself. Thank you!

Cool idea

Thank you! I got them for free from my neighbor but the dollar tree and Walmart usually have things like those.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work!

Hello, did you use table salt on your trays?
Yes I did
Try WD40 to get labels off. I've also seen other use a heat gun.
I bet that would work. I can't do the smell of wd40 but maybe a heat gun

Aw please don't say you hot glued that artificial cone to the book rather than the pick
I stuck it into the pick but I guess it's possible some glue got on the book
