Making oils101, oil is heated to just simmer then turn off immediately and let herbs infuse (hence ‘infused oil’) until cool and then filter and decant. A tasty recipe is 1 tsp dried rosemary, oregano, basil, 1 tsp garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes❤️✨
Is what I did to make garlic oil. I ended up sort of frying the garlic bits, and gifted the oil in small bottles. I worked like a charm and tasted amazing. :)
Unpopular opinion, but I miss when you and Becky would do videos together. I love that your channel is growing and you are able to do your own videos (and I understand the necessity as well) but I would still like to see videos of both of you together as well on this channel.
I get the vibe they don't really get along as well anymore. Which could be why they don't make video together as much. Butttt that's just an opinion from a random person 😂
One of my favorite go-to wedding gifts is taking Pyrex/other glass baking dish and etching the couple’s new name + wedding date or “est. 20xx” on it with etch cream. Has always gone over well and no excuses for losing your casserole dish at a potluck 😂 So many uses with etch cream!!
I don’t know how you guys make it but I’m always skeptical about your choices (like I was rooting for the square pallet) but you always make it work perfectly and I end up loving it more than my original choices
My mum makes spicy olive oil (its perfect to put on pizza). She puts some chili pepper, garlic, black pepper... in a bottle, fills it with the oil and lets it sit for some days/weeks. It's really easy, you just need a bottle with a cap that doesnt let the herbs out and you can put anything you feel like or have around!
and that is an actual way to make olive oil with addings. The way Kelsey did it is actually wrong, bc you shouldn't apply heat to the olive oil if you're not cooking with it at the moment. Cold infusion has way better taste and also is way healthier. Your mum nailed it :)
Just to clarify -- the bacteria which causes botulism is primarily found in soil. The risk of using fresh herbs/garlic is that they can be contaminated with spores which then thrive because of the water released in the oil. So use caution when preparing something intended to be stored for a while with fresh herbs and especially garlic.
Loved everything! Great ideas! Small idea, for the oils you can add a sprig of Herb, you’re using, eg. Rosemary, basil, garlic glove, coloured peppers… Advice, after sterilization of the jars put them in a hot oven to dry out, 250. By blow drying you contaminated the jars. Enjoy you both! You could pair one olive with a balsamic vinegar that’s what I have done. I also have made my own vinegars too.
Guys I’m Italian, and we use olive oil basically in everything. But one thing I know is that you don’t have to use oil after it is cooked (or if it reaches boiling temperatures) because it can be very toxic! Check with the one you used! (You still can do infused oil, you can add your herbs and let it rest for a couple of weeks at room temperature)
You could also load the herbs and cold oil into the clean bottles - then warm the full bottles in a pan of water to speed up infusion. But certainly just sitting at room temperature will do the trick.
@@livelongandprospermary8796 you're not supposed to boil it and let it rest for days to use later, that's what's wrong about it. you can just infuse the olive oil with herbs inside a bottle and let it rest at room temperature, it will get the flavour on its own without boiling
I've used the etching cream for years. I was taught that after the etching time has passed, the excess can be scraped off and put back in the bottle before washing off the surface. It does save etching cream, since it can be expensive, and can last longer.
I love you guys, i have had a particularly rough year with one of my family members having cancer and your videos always chered me up a bit and gave me a release. Thank you for just being your gorgeous beautiful entertaining selves ❤❤❤
Love your videos! But be careful with the olive oil, I'm Italian and we often make "olio aromatizzato", like basil oil, garlic oil or pepper oil. However you shouldn't cook the oil unless you use it straight away, because cooked oil is bad for your health, we call it "olio esausto" that literally means "tired oil", we usually dispose of it as special waste (it's illegal to pour it down the sink or throw it in the regular garbage etc.) . You just need to put your dried herbs in the oil and the trick is done, you can use fresh herbs but it's a little bit trickier because you have to let them dry our for some days usually in a place that is well ventilated and dark. I wouldn't try it with fresh herbs anyways, it really needs to be done properly. Anyway, other than that loved the coasters and I just adore your office!
In college (in the industrial design department) for warming up clay, we would stick it in a sealable bag and place inside a crockpot with warm water. That way you could spend your time and strength sculpting instead of warming the clay. Just be sure to have a separate crockpot so you don't get clay in your cooking!
The first project with the etching cream is how I made a chess board for my parents!! You can make the peices with polymer. I stylized mine with resin and crystal molds off Amazon.
For the eyelets on the frame, I would bend the inside piece into an L to be sure it doesn’t come out while it’s hanging! Sometimes hot glue doesn’t always last and with a glass frame I’d worry. These were all amazing and now I REALLY want to etch some glass! 😂
Btw, for herbal flavoured oils, you do not need to cook them. Just dump dried herbs into a jar and cover with oil. You only need to cook them when you want them flavoured IMMEDIATELY. With the cover & sit method, you can either strain in a few weeks or actually just leave the herbs in!
also, oil preserves things great. it probably won't go bad ever. side note, from a spanish extra virgin olive oil only consumer (as every mediterranean), here oil is usually infused cold, just by letting it stay day after day. we would use big rosemary or thyme branches along with whole garlic cloves that will stay in the bottle the whole time, oil bottles usually have a dispenser that won't let these come out. so yeah, it is that easy. I hope it helps! 💖
Using the cracked pepper in the polymer clay that is awesome I do that all the time. You should try Himalayan salt one of these times that also works really well
I make gifts for all my friends and family because i don't have a job. Each year i try to find something to make in bulk with different designs and these are great ideas.
Being Italian I say use dark bottles, fill with the evoo, add the herbs, better yet, don't use dry herbs, use the real thing, let sit for few weeks. Please don't boil, or refrigerate.
@@awyissbrownies1837 no just microscopic dust particles get trapped in hair dryers the best way is to let it air dry but I mean I’m only joking it just cracked me up because she wouldn’t have had time to let them air dry for the video/ we humans are impatient lol
Wow!!!! Usually these “Make good DIY gifts!” videos I wouldn’t actually make but this one finally did it! I’m gona be making all of these for people for Xmas!!!!
I love how everyone on the team is getting more comfortable on camera! It’s so amazing to see your team and see that growth!! I can’t believe it used to just be Kelsey and Becky in college! 💗💗 p.s. Andrea you’re doing amazing 🤩
Sculpey becomes stronger the more times it’s baked btw. If I’m going to make a big flat item I’d bake it, let it cool, and bake again a few times to give it more durability.
idk when i made infused olive oils there were lots of instructions for using dried herbs (i did the kind where you leave it to infuse for a while though instead of heating and straining immediately)
I think the heating would allow you to use fresher herbs as the water would boil away. I use cold infusion of garlic and rosemary together, or chilli tops and tails leftover when chopping chilli's.
@@biancaj2311 idk how much you'd have to boil to get all the moisture out; like maybe it would work but it seems safer just to dry them first so you know it's not an issue
I can jars of fresh Bay leaves in oil. Same with Rosemary. Oil is its own preservative. Dried herbs work well too. I think it’s really all a matter of preference.
Love the last one especially! Tell me why I was so confused seeing the Rosemary tag at first. I was like wait Rosè Mary? Like Bloody Mary? Oh is it going to Rose Mary? Ohhhh Rosemary
Making oils101, oil is heated to just simmer then turn off immediately and let herbs infuse (hence ‘infused oil’) until cool and then filter and decant. A tasty recipe is 1 tsp dried rosemary, oregano, basil, 1 tsp garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes❤️✨

@@alisonpendlebury-brown7885 2 cups of oil❤️✨

1 tsp each of rosemary, oregano, and baisil or 1 tsp all together?

Agree!
My thoughts exactly.
Yesssss
I get the vibe they don't really get along as well anymore. Which could be why they don't make video together as much. Butttt that's just an opinion from a random person 😂
@Mandy I don’t think they are friends anymore. Just coworkers.
If you size up the coasters you could make a home made glass chess board.
omg love
Hi loved iy
Exactly my thought
Lmao, same thought here.
my family has a glass chess board, and the pieces are different shot glasses 😅🤪
'organic' is the crafters version of chefs 'deconstructed' lol
Can y’all film a video introducing y’all’s team and what each of them does on the sorry girls team?
Yesss

This is a really great idea. I'm totally going to steal it at some point.
What if the entire sorry girls team did a secret Santa but diy and everyone had to film their project and we guess who it’s for(:
I literally just finished watching the exact video you described (except for viewers participation) in December 2023. Your words are powerful!
I love the chaos
these are indeed gifts that people actually want and are also such good ideas overall!
I don’t know how you guys make it but I’m always skeptical about your choices (like I was rooting for the square pallet) but you always make it work perfectly and I end up loving it more than my original choices

Hey Rocanne ☺️ Do the herbs have to be dried or would it work with fresh too ?

Yeah but *botulinum*

The risk of using fresh herbs/garlic is that they can be contaminated with spores which then thrive because of the water released in the oil. So use caution when preparing something intended to be stored for a while with fresh herbs and especially garlic.
OMG! I thought it was a joke!
@@solr91 nooo! Definitely a serious concern!!
I def accidentally did this. Spores grew but I used it before noticing 🙃 I’m ok but never again using fresh herbs to infuse oil
This is SUCH an important note! Wish they talked about this in the video!
Hi! Loved this video! Please consider adding official closed captioning rather than the auto-generated. Makes a heck of a difference! THank you!
I can’t believe how fast Christmas is coming! They always make me smile! 😁

Just a heads up that using a hair drier to dry bottles reintroduces contaminants! (Food safety nerd over here )

If it can’t be boiled, how does cooking with olive oil work? I’m calling BS on your comment
@@livelongandprospermary8796 if oil reaches its burning point carcinogens can be released. That's what they're referring to.
@@livelongandprospermary8796 the boiling point of olive oil is much hotter than the temperature it's at when you use it to sauté and fry
You could also load the herbs and cold oil into the clean bottles - then warm the full bottles in a pan of water to speed up infusion. But certainly just sitting at room temperature will do the trick.

First Christmas DIY video of the season that I’ve seen and I’m HEREEE for it!
I've used the etching cream for years. I was taught that after the etching time has passed, the excess can be scraped off and put back in the bottle before washing off the surface. It does save etching cream, since it can be expensive, and can last longer.
And besides, it’s probably TOXIC for the environment.

I love how personal and thoughtful these ideas are!! I would genuinely be thrilled to receive any of these!
The tea in the drawer cracked me up 🤣👏🏻👏🏻

In traditional pottery it’s the grog (basically small stones) that make the speckles ☺️
Handy Info: Scrape back the Etch Cream back into the container before washing...you can REUSE IT! ;)
I love how organic just means beans
I miss the Becky and Kelsie together in videos like the good old days
Everyone is saying they are not friends anymore, that’s why they film separate things
@@brianda5793 idk if it’s true but I very much seems like it
Cute coasters 😊 did you know that you can scrape the etching cream back in the bottle and reuse? Yes, you can. The small bottle goes a long way...
this is so good to know for next time!!
When working with clays I have found using cling film over the peice during the shaping will create softer edges with less finger prints.
The first project with the etching cream is how I made a chess board for my parents!! You can make the peices with polymer. I stylized mine with resin and crystal molds off Amazon.
I was just thinking about how you guys never use that background anymore! Feels OG
I love the paint tray idea, I wonder how it holds up over use and time. Super cute!
Can't believe it's that time of the year again yay. Can't wait to try this diys out 😁
tag us and hashtag #sorrygirlsquad on insta so we can see!
Quilting patterns would be perfect for etching.

I relate to Kelsey's chaotic energy while cooking a little too hard 👩🍳
All of these are very nice, high-end looking gifts. The coasters are extraordinary.

This might be my favorite DIY gift video. They're useful and things my family would enjoy.
It's the magnesium in the clay that usually gives stoneware that speckle
That oil infusion is such a wonderful idea!! Definitely doing that for my friends who love to cook

You should put some fairy lights in the garland in the kitchen set, it would liven it up a bit ! Love the diys!
Using the cracked pepper in the polymer clay that is awesome I do that all the time. You should try Himalayan salt one of these times that also works really well
You can actually make herb oil without boiling them! Just put the herbs into the oil and that's it! It's really great!
Kelsey has such positive and funny personality 😋
Ngl I thought the tea section in the beginning was gonna be a sponsorship lmao
Honestly just a big bathroom tile has been the best paint pallet for me, super easy to clear at the end
You gals have the coolest gift ideas year after year! I love the mini flavored Olive oils 💥

I'm not Italian haha but that's what my family does too! It's very nice with some garlic cloves or dried chilis
Ok, but have you ever heard of botulinum?
Ok if you use a hair dryer to dry the inside it totally defeats the purpose of sanitizing them 🤣 sorry but I can’t stop laughing. 💕

I’ve always just infused oil with raw ingredients, you can do garlic with garlic cloves without the skins and raw olive oil ❤️
Honestly, caffeinated Kelsey is chaotic fun.
You can use etching cream on slate as well!
This is probably the first in-studio old school Sorry Girl DIY video in the longgggggggggggg time. Finally!!

Loooove the paint pallet! Making this for my little sister! ♡
Absolutely loved those original DIY gifts🤩 I need moreeee!!!
You can make a funnel with wax paper, by folding a sheet into a cone :)
I really like these original ideas.
The infused olive oil is my fav and will definitely be doing that for gifts and staining the bottom 3rd of the bottle. Thanks SorryGirls
Okay, so I absolutely LOVE the infused oils one! I usually get garlic infused olive oil at Trader Joes, but it's cool to see how to do it myself. 😊
Kelsey always giving ADHD energy is really inspiring to an ADHDer like myself
Kelsey: Do you really need coasters?
Me: *nods in agreement*
The vibes are definitely cozyy!! 💖
I just found this channel and it’s an absolute gem! Wish I found it sooner I love the editing ❤️
Love all the Christmas decor all over the office!
Love this!! I'm planning to make DIY potpourri jars with all the ingredients plus instructions for my fam!!
I love the palette. As I’m taking ceramic classes I want to do a ceramic one.

Anyone else really missing seeing Becky and Kelsea in videos TOGETHER?!?!?
No because their vibe together is off
not me, cause I like one of them more than the other hehe
@@alohadandelion same.
the paint palette could also be a beautiful jewellery dish ! and it would probably get more use as a little dish too rather than a paint palette x
You can use fresh garlic since it has purely oil and so little water. And it’s anti fungal and anti bacterial as well so it won’t spoil.
Love the last one especially! Tell me why I was so confused seeing the Rosemary tag at first. I was like wait Rosè Mary? Like Bloody Mary? Oh is it going to Rose Mary? Ohhhh Rosemary
Kelsey comin in with hella calm vibes....is it just me? is it a new editing style? idk, this video felt nice, good job :D
Totally forgot about this Ikea hack with the moppe you made last year. Heading to Ikea tomorrow. It's on my list.
I love this channel….so real and creative…thanks😉🙏🏻👍🏻🇨🇦♥️♥️
For you float frame you can use double stick adhesive dots that are photo safe and removable!
Really liked the infused oils. Didn't know you had to warm them,just thought you left them to infuse on own....🤔👍
I love whoever added the "o" to the ruler😄
Do you have any ideas for sauce jars etc that have been collected over the years?
Oh my gosh I love you guys. Seriously make my day you guys make my day Kelsey you’re hilarious
The tile coasters are soooo nice!!!!
becky said EXACTLY what i was thinking for the paint palette
Love the glass tile etching
'pressing with your fingers is the best way to make indents' guess finger hole won in the end :p
