‘Minimal woodworking skills needed’
Brings out a giant saw 😂
The request itself is ridiculous; but she can still go to the hardware store and ask for the woods to be precut to size
@@jemmaj2919 depends on the store
"please freestanding, can't drill into walls"
"well, I think you actually can so this is not freestanding"
they did her so dirty lol
@@jemmaj2919 You can get it cut at the store, but in my experience for that many cuts they'll charge (just good to be aware of for cost) and getting the 20 deg angle might be a challenge since I have only seen straight cuts offered.
You could do this with a manual saw and a miter box. Those two items typically cost less than $30 US. It will take longer but it’s totally doable.
You can also just trade skills with a friend or acquaintance; offer your skills to someone who has building skills but maybe can’t do stuff you can. Many people are enthusiastic (surprisingly) about helping with DIYs.
I missed the photo comparisons at the end of the diys cause sometimes I forget what the DMs look like 😂
I would love a "Basic DIY Equipment List" and/or a "Prepare your DIY Space" video. I am in a tiny apartment with really no outdoor space to work, but I would love to do more hard-core DIY projects. But I am not sure what equipment to even invest in. So far they have used a drill, an electronic screwdriver (same thing?), a miter saw, a vinal printer, etc. It's a lot and not everything can be done just like at my kitchen table. Or maybe they can, I am just not sure. Some help on how to get started would be greatly appreciated! Love you guys!
Great idea!
I have the same issue of a small apartment this is a great suggestion!
a miter box and a hand saw will do the same job as a big miter saw, just with more work and slightly less precision involved. Cheaper too!
Yes a drill and an electric screwdriver are the same tool!! It just depends what drill bit you put on (some are made to drill a hole, some are just screwdriver tips) but it’s one of the first things I would get because it’s so helpful in anything wood diy or even just putting furniture together quickly! And helps with hanging things on walls 🤪
I don't have tons of tools, but I have enough to do almost anything I need to do. How I got started was actually making and fixing things. As I did projects, I bought a tool here and there that I needed to complete the project I was doing. Slowly I have built up a decent collection. Another thing I've done is just what you're doing now -- watching TH-cam videos of projects you would like to do. What tool do you see being used over and over on lots of different projects, that there's really not any way to do the thing without it? I think a drill is a great place to start. Those things are so handy for so many different things. But they're only useful if you have the right bit for the job you need, so get a basic set of drill bits as well, and make sure you have some screwdriver bits too - there are a ton of different screw heads, but if you have a flat and a Phillips (the plus sign), you can do most things, at least in the US. Also, if you're doing things at you kitchen table, you probably want a sturdy cover of some kind to use as a work surface - like a piece of plywood - so you can hammer, paint, drop things, whatever, without scarring your table.
As a librarian that apothecary display is giving me all of the card catalog vibes and I’m LIVING
it made me think of a librarian too !!
😭😭😭 Thank you SO much for doing my herb and oil DIY!! This turned out SO good!!!!! I will be tagging you girls in my attempt!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
It turned out stunningly. Great idea! Good luck with your attempt!
Selena Leona thank you for submitting this. I swear I woke up this morning wanting to come up with a way to sort out my things and then I saw this video. So making this
@@deidreritter1165 the moppe cabinets are $20 each! I found an old cabinet and revamped it to hold my things so I went a different route from this but I may still make it for my office!
I can just imagine them asking everyone at the office to take their shoes off for the final shots of that shoe tree and that makes me giggle.
they are canadian, their shoes would have already been off indoors
Same!!
ozzie wait, I’m Canadian, do people not take off their shoes when they enter? 😂🤭
@@Lasomie Not usually at an office, although we are known for keeping multiple pairs of shoes at work to change into once the running shoes/boots come off.
Im American and I prefer to walk through the house with my shoes on. We have hardwood floors and I hate getting my socks all dirty and furry from our dog (we swept 3x within 2 hours and got massive piles of fur, it never ends). If my dog can go outside with her paws and walk back inside with her paws, I should be allowed to do the same. *giggles* I'm not mad, I am joking. I do prefer to wear my shoes in the house tho..
In regards to the shoe tree and drilling into the walls: in Australia we aren't allowed to paint/drill into walls if we're renting without the landlords permission (I'm fairly sure) which often they dont give. Nice that its allowed in Toronto but please don't forget you have international viewers too! Would love to see you guys do a room makeover that doesn't involve attaching things to the walls via drilling or painting/wallpapering, could be cool as a challenge! Love your videos and they're inspiring but often unrealistic as to what I can do while I'm renting 😊
Renee Diprose That applies to all renters in all countries. You must return your rental in the same condition as it was rented to you. That being said, I’ve always hung photos & shelving & I’ve moved a lot/rented a ton since I was 16. You just need spackle to fill holes, when dry, hit it with sanding paper to smooth it out, then touch it up with paint which my landlord has always supplied a small container of unless the walls were just white. The walls will be returned to the condition they were rented to you in and you will have enjoyed your rental much more having actually lived in it!! Cheers!
You could probably use Command hooks upside down to help “anchor” the shoe tree to the wall (at the top of the mdf board) without causing damage.
I think things look better when you completely stain the entire diy not just parts of it. It makes it nicer and you want to in the future you could change the drawer layout of the cabinet.
The shoe tree would be a cool book shelf as well
"the bigger the shoe... the more wood you need" (That sent me)
I died laughing
HI! Just a safety tip here: at about 8:20 you're using a circular saw with the blade WAY more out than it has to be!!! You should always set the blade to come out only as much as the thickness of whatever you're cutting!!!! Please be safe
I really like the apothecary chest however I think you need to reconsider not staining the whole thing. because if at some point you want to reconfigure the drawers you're never going to have it look the same as it would have if you did it all at the same time?? It's the same with paint when you try to match it it looks patched.
THIS.
I thought the same thing when you were staining the project. But, still loved it!
@@thedragon6480 I personally don't think this is "sloppy" or "half-hearted"; they just did what fit their needs. Which is the point of DIY. It saves a little bit of time and a little bit of stain, and the end result looks the same. It matters to you because you're thinking what ifs in the future but not everyone has to do that. I didn't design the back side of this DIY I did a year ago and it's GREAT. Now if I decide to move it away from the wall, THEN it would look weird but the whole reason I didn't do the back is because I would never do that.. Not everything has to be perfect for everyone.. Soo yeah I just felt like the critique was a bit unfair. Have a good day.
@@crystal23maiden I totally understand what you're saying, but I still think this is a bit different because it's their actual job, not just a hobbie or something on the side.
But I can agree that maybe I was a bit harsh in the way I expressed my opinion. I'll try to be a bit more polite in the future.
Also you might want to take a box out when doing your skincare and then it would look ugly during 🙈
Plz plz to more eco hacks and diys cause I love watching them and then learning to be a Green Queen
You guys should do a challenge where you can’t use any power tools , and see what you can do without them! Like down below if you wanna see them do it!!!⤵️
Chantelle Bic they already have a series for that. It’s College Try.
Yeah but that’s for college dorm rooms and they didn’t really expand much on that series , I’m thinking more house decor or for people who don’t have access to huge tools like the shoe tree they showed ...
It's basically the same thing in the end, same outcome, just takes longer.
@@chantellebic5886 just buy a few basic power tools, girl. You'll be glad you did.
for mounting the shoe tree... maybe try those Command Velcro strips? they're pretty strong and easy to remove.
I thought of this too, especially since it does have a base
Oh heck no that's not working for how heavy the amount of wood she used, *plus* all the heavy shoes! 😬
@@DJoy222 one way to find out :D
Why not just get command hooks and hang the shoes off them?
“This shoe tree requires minimal tools.”
* pulls out a miter saw *
Gurl no one living in a small urban apartment with a tiny entryway has a miter saw.
The house number is super cute, but the numbers not being level killed me a little
And the sign being hung flush with the left side of the post, instead of centered 😖
That’s an easy fix if you use transfer paper :)
I was a bit confused as to why the vinyl got attached to the mat. You normally leave the backing on, because the mat is already sticky. Once you cut your design you weed away the parts that you don’t need and use transfer tape to line your design perfectly ;)
For the house sign, if you purchase Pebeo porcelain paints you can paint the tiles and bake in the oven with whatever design you want before gluing the tiles to the wood! Gives a nice personal or a very handmade touch.
I absolutely love the apothecary! I’m not sure the hanging hardware is strong enough I’d probably use a French cleat or two🤔
That first one...I think I’m in love.
For the shoe tree you could make it without the back piece. Jun from Jun’s Kitchen made his cats a cat tree and I believe his method of securing/stabilizing it would work for this project.
Ok, that apothecary unit was really something. Awesome job!
Okay but that first one as an advent calander omg! I’m filing that away for when I have kids. Imagine how excited they would be to have a little treat in each box or a small craft project (diy ornament?!) or activity (baking cookies). So cute!
Couldn’t you slightly stagger the “branches” on the shoe tree, add a tripod base and then one of those straps to keep cabinets from falling on children (go on the back, get attached to the wall)? That would only be 1 hole drilled and you wouldn’t need the backing.
i think for a future room makeover, you should create a secret, shared pinterest board for whoever's room you are making over. then instead of each of you creating a room design, you base the makeover off of the pinterest board the person creates. i saw XO, MaCenna do this and it turned out so so good!
Omg the drawers are so cute!! I really want to see a whole witchy diy themed video!!!
10:29 or you can use wooden/plastic numbers/letters
You may find it in craft stores
also, if you don't have a Cricut, you can buy those vinyl numbers at Michaels or the Hardware store :)
that shoe tree is actually really cute!! i could see that being a cute diy cat tree or bookshelf, plus you could probably use some picture hanging strips from command to help secure it to the wall without drilling holes.
OMG! I LOVE the house sign DIY!!!! It's so gorgeous!!!!!!!! You could even get more creative and use different kinds of tile. The possibilities are endless. LOVE IT!
Kelsey.exe struggling to function is literally me
We are so 20st century to say software and not even bat an eyelid. I didn’t even click on till they said ‘you going to download software to your shelf’ 😂
It's 21st.
Monika Keser I don’t have a clue why I put 20st HAHA thanks!
CydnieBenbow X Your brain software was a little glitchy?
That number house sign is SO genius! Super cheap, easy and beautiful!
I LOVE how you guys are blossoming behind the camera. Y’all seem much more relatable and fun to watch for twenty minutes :) getting to become one of my fav channels :)
I love that Ikea Hack. I have a Wiccan friend who would love that for herbs, crystals, books, and stuff
I cannot explain how badly my OCD heart breaks when I see that half finished stain job. Give it the extra 5 mins, girls. You have a diy channel for heaven's sake.
For the shoe tree, you could add some Velcro command hooks to the back mdf board and the wall (this wouldn't work on brick walls though). I've done that in the past and they hold pretty well.
Request: "I have minimal woodworking skill."
SorryGirls: "Now you'll want to use your miter saw." :/
rachel sydney yeah I was like wtf
There is a hand tool miter box with a saw that's really inexpensive.
Yeah... but you also can’t make a shoe tree like that well without a consistent angled cut.
She asked for something that’s just not practical to do by hand - unless she’s going to get her protractor out and saw each piece.
I would’ve prefaced this DIY with recommending the IKEA shoe cabinet... cause what you’re asking for requires tools and woodworking knowledge.
Request: “I have minimal woodworking skill and I want to do this DIY that *requires* woodworking.”
SorryGirls: uses a miter saw
Comments: surprised Pikachu face
For the house numbers you could also buy them from Home Depot and glue them on. Orrrr fabric stores often sell sticky numbers but they won’t be weather proof
Sure let me get out all of my saws
Brooke Steinberger true
I love every DIY you do! I have been following you for some years now, and you have inspired me to change the style of my house multiple times. Gracias!
You should do DIY Christmas gifts people actually want and will use
The tree stand - you can do it without the backing piece if you drill holes and use dowels and wood glue. For the minimal weight of the shoes this should work fine, you just need some tools to help drill. *ALSO, it would be very helpful if you did a video entirely on where/how to get access to power tools if you don't have any. Like, good things to invest in, what the hardware store will do for you, where you can rent things for bigger projects and how much that costs, etc.*
I love the shoe tree. For me, it would be a book tree.
Good luck to third requester to cut wood in angle without special tool XD
If you go to Home Depot or other hardware stores, they often provide services like that for a small charge or even free if it’s not a big job. So I’m sure you can get all the pieces drilled for cheap once you have it all measured out!
You can rent equipment in homedepot too, but for newbs i'd too reccomend ask for cutting service
@@jovannakrukow5806 ok didn't know. In my country they only offer to cut huge pieces at the store (no home depot here), so not even standard 3m long wooden logs... not to mention angle cuts XD
A standard wood saw and a mitre box will do it. You don't need a huge mitre saw like they used.
@@ReaperUnreal never seen such big mitre box that would fit this. Then again, i never rly looked hard.
I wish you have just added the thing at bottom to try it out.
I love the first two ideas so much! Thanks for sharing! And thanks to your wonderful community for making such awesome suggestions
Yesss the house number is definitely something I needed!
Absolutely love the witchy drawers 😍
Loved the first project you did...love it for office storage and decor!
For the first DIY I don’t think those little hanging hardware pieces would hold up once the unit was filled or if you wanted to put glassware on it.
Yep, that's definitely falling down as soon as anything heavier than feathers and plastic plants are put in, and it could hurt someone in the process. They need to use cabinet hanging or shelf hanging techniques instead when they do diys like this.
If someone really wanted to hang that I would’ve recommended removing the drawers and drilling through the back. Then you could screw it into the stud.
I know they can’t do that for their reveal/example but I think informing people how to properly hang it for its intended use would be a good idea.
For the tile house number sign, you should use a sealant on the entire backside of the tiles so the clay can't absorb any moisture. If they absorb any water and it the weather is below freezing the tile can crack from the ice expanding inside it. I've had a few ceramic pots crumble because of that in the winter. Of course this only applies if it gets cold where you live, otherwise its all good and doesn't matter.
These are soooooo good!! Definitely doing the house numbers and apothecary storage
I am OCD and that half stain job was driving me crazy
Mala Robinson The uneven numbers on the subway tiles 🙈🤯
And spelling serum wrong.
@@latinlivi03;;
The Chronicles of Lis it’s really, I promise you, REALLY not that serious.
Me too!😱
you guys are literally the sweetest, most creative duo on youtube!!!
Absolutely love the essential oil cupboard! Great job Kelsey! I couldn’t have done the math on that shoe tree but you are smart! It looks great!
Love this!! The MOPPE unit would be a great way to store essential oils
Looooved it! Keep doing those recommended type of diy
What a great idea lived the shoe tree project!!!😊
Looking forward to watch this new episode! One question: have you talked about the electric saws you use? I'd be interested to learn more. Thanks and hi from Ottawa!
The shoe tree is my favorite! I have a small space right behind our door that's PERFECT for shoe storage! I was just hesitant to use the ugly dollar store hanging shoe storage. (That was kind of long lol) This is PERFECT 😍
Love it, I really want to make the house number DIY!
Ikea shelf and drawer unit Staining it all. That way if you want to change it up later more versatility. Maybe even adding knobs.
You guys are so creative! I loved all 3 diys. 😄
I ALWAYS love watching you two, you inspire me so much! And shoutout to your editor, they do a great job making it so fun to follow along :)
For the shoe tree - makeover an old bookcase. Remove all the shelves and just use the outer frame, Adding the trunk and branches inside. That would be pretty sturdy and freestanding.
Love them all! Thank you girls!!!
Love love love the apothecary cupboard!!!
All of these are amazing!!! I think the best you guys have done
The 2 diys are great!!! Good job
Everything turned out awesome!!
I looooove the DIY Ikea hack, I want to make this for all my makeup! thanks!
The title has me dead, I love it. It's so chill lmao
The house number idea is brilliant! I love it!
All of these are soooooo good. Obsessed.
For the show tree you could also get command strips that are for mirrors or picture frames which won’t damage the walls.
ughhh you guys are amazingly talented
Great ideas. I loved the first one!
omgggg that first diy is ADORABLE and exactly my vibe!! i must attempt!
Definitely should have stained all of the first one so that you can keep moving drawers around in the future but also just cos it looks more complete and you might see the unfinished bits when you open the drawers...other than that though I am obsessed with this and will probably do it aha
I'm redoing one of my bathrooms thanks to your inspiration!
I loved all three of these DIYs!
love the concept of the video!! keep going
Library catalog vibes
luvvvv💞
Ugh your DIY’s are always so cute!
I love the "Moppe" DIY! I definitely need to make that!
I love the first DIY!
The shoe tree came out so great!!!
I love love love this you guys!!!❤️💛💛
Nice ladies, I loved the house number, it turned out very chic. I totally loved the IKEA cabinet makeover, that one was awesome. The shoe tree was also pretty neat. Thanks again this was a fun video.
that apothecary drawer shelf is SO CUTE
wait on the first one did she write "syrum" instead of serum 😂
I scrolled forever to make sure I wasn't the only one who noticed this.
Oh, I wasn't sure. Thought it said syrup and glossed over why they would have syrup in there.
Its for the "aesthetic" lol.
Listened to your podcast on my run just now and got home to see a new video from you - treat!
I love these episodes!!! 😍
I actually like Becky’s house number sign WAY more than the target one and I want to make it now
Loved this! Great episode
Both of these looked so good! Love watching your videos for inspo for my home decor :) I now feel like I need a house number ahaha :)
Missed an opportunity to say "the bigger the shoe, the bigger the wood." 😂
Excellent DIY as always!
I think the apothecary drawers might be my favourite sorrygirls diy yet. So cool!
