Spring is arriving which means I MUST CLEAN AND ORGANIZE. My body has plans to accomplish and I cannot resist them. I've been taking note of the little things around the house that still need to be dealt with, and one of those things was my unused pendant light slot above the toilet! Is that really so important? No! Not at all! But it was on my mental list of things to do nonetheless, and I had an idea for it. It ended up being a fitting season for me to make a sakura-inspired pendant light, though that was entirely coincidental. It's an easy project as long as you don't try to make it out of PET like I did. Hope you like it!!

So this may be my most "craft project" craft project so far BUT I like it anyway. :D
Also, anyone have any ideas on how to attach PET to itself quickly without using a super toxic solvent?
I know there are way to melt it to itself or using a 'holt melt' type of product (but not actual hot glue). IDK what you'd have available in Japan though.
PET doesn't have many bonding agents to its name. It's the reason you see it used in bottles and recipients so much (bonding would imply it can be melted chemically, so that would be bad if you have many chemicals melt it).
One method, that might work, that's clean, would be to heat bond it. You'd need to get one of those model making irons (they look like a soldering iron with a tiny clothes iron on it instead of the normal sharp end) and a piece of hardwood that's shaped as the triangle you want to bond. You place your (to be bonded) pieces together, get some kapton tape over the side you'll touch with the iron, then press them together. You need genuine kapton tape tho, not the cheap stuff you find on fleabay (if it melts from flame, it's not kapton tape).
The iron would also be good to flatten the edges from the scissors. You run it on low heat over the edge and it will melt it just enough to make it less fuzzy.
To test if your PET sheets will behave, you can take a knife you don't need (like a butter knife you might want to throw out) warm it up with an open flame then press two pieces of PET together against a piece of hardwood.
Mind you, the hardwood needs to be sanded smooth with rounded edges. Any grain or defect will transfer to the PET film in the final product. Conversely, the kapton tape is there to stop the iron from melting the PET on contact before it has a chance to melt between itself, but it might not work at all as a result. For the test, you could (in theory) use some aluminium foil, but i've never tried it with foil myself, so i don't know that it would work.
IMO, the sewing method you showed in the video is probably the best option, using fishing line and premade holes using a hot needle. Once you're done, it should be pretty invisible.
One last method that might work, is once more tied to heat, but in a different fashion (and it's a bit more involved). You'll have to carve (yourself, or ask Jun) the flower shape you want, out of a piece of soft wood. Not balsa, maybe a less dense pine. Once it's smooth as a baby's bottom, you can do vacuum forming (using the PET). Making a vacuum forming box for a small project is super easy, and you have plenty of tuts online for the entire process.
You can also 3D print (via an online service, or if you know someone with a 3D printer) the shape you want, so you don't have to carve it.
You can check Adam Savage's channel here on YT, he has several videos showing a good, easy to follow method to make your own vacuuformed items. With vacuuforming, you won't need to do anything else other than cut the petal from the main shape. To give an idea of how simple the whole affair is, i made a vacuum forming table out of a sturdy cardboard box, a piece of plywood with many holes drilled in it and a junky vacuum i found at the recycler's place. Cheap and easy if you only want one project. And for a sheet of PET film that thin, you won't need to put it in the oven, a regular heatgun will do.
Good luck!
So glad to see a video today. Weirdly I thought I was missing a friend or friends. Haha especially the cats! After 4 tries with different water fountains I finally found one my cat is relatively satisfied with. For now 😊
my cat refuces to drink from a bowl or a fontain she loves drinking from the aquarium outlet🤣(I have a 540L tank) and I figure hey as long as she is drinking . When we go to visit Nan she has a glass on the kitchen counter, it has to be a glass if it´s a bowl she ignores it.
@@hypnotherapy69 I always love people with finnicky cats cause mine are such gremlins. I have three and they all like to shove their face/head into the food or water bowl at once. They prefer the dog's water bowl but he always chases them off.
Man, if you're a cat that comes across a scenario where you meet Rachel and Jun, your life will flourish. You'll be in absolute paradise from the pampering and food.
They sure will. Feline paradise ✨️ 🐱🐈🐈⬛✨️
and forced exercise as I become a chonky cat (as cats with good and caring owners do)
"Common sense?" 🤣🤣🤣 Rachel just dealt Jun 50 points of psychic and emotional damage 🤣🤣🤣
Waiting for the Jun's Kitchen response diss video
I think it's more jun is good at learnt crafts and Rachel is good at intuition crafting, another reason they are a good pair. ❤
Jun? What about me? She stabbed me through the freaking heart i don't understand people who are mechanically inclined
Rachel used Vicious Mockery. She crit so hard that Steven He shouted "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE" on reflex and doesn't know why.
@@killerkittycat13 I think you're right on the money. She did it so intuitively she couldn't articulate how she did it, so she said, "common sense."
Nagi was probably obsessed with it cause of one of his old toys. I was rewatching some old videos not long ago, and Nagi loved a dragonfly toy that had dark iridescent wings.
Yes, it really reminded me of those toys that he loves, I'm certain he thought it was an upgraded version of it! Very pretty, hope he'll not try to catch it!
I agree. That was my first thought too. While he was up on the ledge, staring at it, I wondered how long it would be up before he tried an attack.
yess yes yes, make him a toy with the leftovers
Just distract him with saran wrap and everything will be fine 😆
Hopefully Rachel uses the leftovers to make some DIY cat toys
A tip for next time: use transparent worbla! It's a thermo plastic, meaning you can change it's shape by heating it up, and it also sticks to itself, so you don't need glue! But your lamp already looks very cute🌸
I'm not familiar with the material so I don't know how much heat you need so I'm curious: do you think the warmth of the lamp could warp it over time?
@@Diskuli if the lamp gets to 120C or 250 F then it could but otherwise would be perfect for this project if it can be shipped to Japan
@@Diskuli I think an LED bulb would be totally okay with worbla, since those dont put off too much heat :)
@@Diskuli good question! You usually use a heatgun to get the desired heat, so I reckon if the lamp isn't on for hours on end it should be fine.
I was wondering about this! I think also she would have liked it better with slightly larger petals, since they would encompass the bulb more. I wonder if alternating layers of holographic film with a sort of frosted transparent worbla would give the vibe Rachel was aiming for. I might need to try it now.
Rachel's spatial awareness (common sense??) is pretty impressive. That she can just see how shapes will come together, im in awe
creative vision maybe?
@@pocchakkoShe was in the Navy
@@yesphrog8446I think it might've been the air force. but i dunno if that's really related
I would say my spatial awareness is pretty low, which is why I had to play around with the posterboard mockups to figure out how the different shapes and whatnot could go together. 😅 I keep thinking during all these projects that everything would be so much easier if I had paid attention in Geometry... But the good news is you can brute force geometry conundrums by smashing shapes together in real life! I'm basically like the adult version of a toddler with blocks.
\That's how art works! Just smash stuff together and call it art! Especially if the cats stick their paws in!
As the person who made it, you'll probably be the only person who will notice all the flaws. Hanging up like that, i doubt anyone will be close enough to notice. Glad you came around to it though.
How many guest will enter the upstairs bathroom in general? For most probably only Rachel.
The downside is she is also the one using it everyday. So if it would bother her that would be a issue as she will most likely remember her self that fact everytime.
"Married magpies" 🥺 I loved that! 😭
Same! I loved that little description 😭

Hey! My girlfriend was watching this video and I saw your questions about PET!!! I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!
THE ANSWER: SOLDERING IRON!!! PET has a melting point around 230-260c depending on the formulation. If you use a soldering iron with a variable temperature control, you can simply melt the PET onto itself. It'll fuse and cool very quickly! And PET doesn't usually put off any harmful fumes or anything when melting it. It and PLA are used in FDM printers without enclosures because of the lack of fumes.
Edited to add: PET has very good layer adhesion! That's the main reason this sort of method would work. The melty PET will adhere/fuse very strongly to the unmelted base layer.
Wow! Coming in the clutch! I'll remember this for future reference haha. I love human collective knowledge.
This is really cool! So in theory you could make a little hole at the base of the Peter’s between the layers and that’d cool fused to themselves!
Rachel, don't be so hard on yourself! It's lovely!
I agree.
I agree!! She was so hard on herself, and it broke my heart each time
rachel and jun are giving real life animal crossing, and I am so here for it
They used the gameshark code for cat villagers only
Professional Nursery person here; congratulations on your new avocado tree! Fuerte is a great variety 👌. It is reasonably self fruitful in cooler climates, but you can increase your yield by planting a pollinator. Fuerte is a type B, pollinator varieties would be type A such as Hass, Reed, Pinkerton. Just my 2 cents worth!
Thanks for the great video as always ❤️ 😀 👍
The second one we planted was either a Hass or Pinkerton! I can't remember which, but I remember Jun did quite a bit of research on it at the time. Thank you for the info!
@@RachelandJunAdventures Awesome! Wishing you a great day and many tasty avocados 🥑 in the future 👍
@@RachelandJunAdventureshopefully you also have a lime tree (or two!) to go with said avocado trees for all your future guacamole needs!
In the video it looked like the top of the root ball of the Avocado tree was planted quite deep ( with the top of the root ball being deeper than the ground around the planting hole. . . I have always been told that trees should be transplanted so that the top of the root ball is at soil level, and that planting deeper than that causes the roots to grow toward the surface and eventually strangle the tree. Could you please give your opinion on this?
@@marcusa3177 Lemon works just fine for guacamole.
1. No art is original. And that's not a bad thing. I love the universalness of creativity and art.
2. Rachel you're such a cool and creative person! Your're spatial reasoning is really strong! The fact that you're able to easily make your own patterns is really impressive!
I've loved seeing all the really cool diy projects Rachel has been doing. It's gotten me really inspired to do my own
Yes, we're still stuck in caves drawing on walls and so it's okay that companies get to steal art and everything else and the people they stole from starve...
Exactly this! When she said that, I wanted to just remind her that she *did* have an original thought, it was just her own and by her own volition. Just because someone else made something similar and she wasn't the first to think of it, doesn't mean it's not 1. Original to her, and 2. Freaking amazing and very creative! It' snot like copyright infringement; you can't copy someone if you never knew they did it before you did!
As someone who loves all things art, and has delved into many mediums both hands-on, and on paper, Rachel needs to hear that it's not that much common sense and more her skill as an artist. Now, that doesn't take away from how talented she is, & how second nature it is to her; rather, it really shows (especially to Jun!😂) how creative and skilled she is. It would prob take me quite a few tries to come up with flower petals that looked that good with how she bent and slightly folded them in on each other. I would be sitting there trying to cut the petals a little wider to account for creasing the paper and hoping it keeps shape!😂
Everyone is creative in their own ways, Rachel, and you absolutely have a talent for all the crafts, DIY, and decorating work you do!
Rachel if your friend, your husband and your cats are mesmerized with your work, it means it is beautiful.
We're definitely our own worst critics when it comes to creating things. Totally second Jun in saying that the shade looks wonderful, cute, and very pretty! You did an amazing job adapting your approach on a whim to create something that really livens up the space.
this + also really liked the paper prototypes with light on, that was just such a warm light
I'm fully convinced Rachel is going to DIY an outdoor cat colony paradise
The pink light reflecting on the walls looks pretty. And since your kitty was fascinated by that maybe make a toy out of it for them. Just food for thought. 🐈🤔 btw I'm near fifty years old and still love iridescent shiny things.😊 Thank you for sharing. I enjoy all your videos. Beautiful loving couple ... with a beautiful life. You are blessed. 🙏🏻
I'm mid-20s and while I dont like sparkly things myself, I start to realize thats it's cruel for us to ban ourselves from innocent things like rainbows and sparklies... If it brings us joy and it hurts no one, I dont see why we zhoyld bhamed for it because it's "childish".
3:58 Nagi walking has me floored
Getting cats to drink water is a chore. Wet food is a good way to add hydration while eating. Water fountains like you did are a good option too. I wouldn't give up on them too quickly, they do take time to get used to but eventually cats will start drinking from them.
Yeah we got a fountain for my cat and he completely ignored it for about eight months until we rearranged some furniture and it ended up on a bottom shelf cross from his bed, and now he uses it to drink all the time. It can be a while!
You can try and get white or non stainless water fountain. A professional once told me that's something cats will see there reflection in the fountain and won't like it.
We once had a cat that, like Poki, loooved to get into anything we humans were using, so we actually tricked her into drinking more water by leaving a human drinking glass on a table near the couch where she could easily get to it and pretending to forget about it. Boom, as soon as we took our eyes off it, she would slurp it! So we changed it every day just like a normal cat water bowl and it worked great!
@@86fiftyjust like cat parents, 😹
i'm truly grateful that my cat looooves water, lol. i don't have to trick him, i just need to refill his water bowl from time to time because he prefers semi-cold water. he probably drinks more water than me 😂
Maybe instead of using PET for the flower shape, you can use wire to structure the petals/flower shapes of the lamp and use the holographic sheet and wrap it around the wire to fill the petal. It's probably easier to glue and make it more structurally sound. If you want it to be sturdier, can even use resin instead of holographic paper. Look up some wired flower resins for inspiration!
Oh to be a small frog being watered in a lovely garden
June watering the frog was really cute
the best bonding agent for thin plastic sheets of any type is staples :D
Or rivets if you wanna get fancy
As cool as it is to watch Rachel work on DIY projects, seeing cats in RnJ videos always makes my day ♡ That round kitty and Rin chan are sooo precious 😭
20:42 This is BEAUTIFUL. The sakura notches in each petal; the iridescence of the material; the colours the lampshade casts on the walls; and the decorative garland?
🌸*Florist's kiss* 🌸
You, dear Rachel, Are an ARTIST. Take a bow! 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Between your amazing determination in creating something magical (success!); and the incredible PINK 🥰🥰💗💗SakuraCo box selection, this was another wonderful
If you hang some lines of crystals I think the light would look even more magical with the colored light and the refraction from the crystals
The Sakura flower lamp is absolutely beautiful I think if you made it even bigger it would’ve been super cool!
Rachael, you did a lovely piece.
Remember that you really don’t have to call any project finished until you really love it. Think about this as an iteration. This is version 1 and you can always keep looking for better materials and methods to improve it. I think that would look lovely as a stained glass piece for instance.
Just keep an open mind.
I read somewhere that some cats don't like reflective surfaces for their water bowls, I stopped using the steel ones and use glass or ceramic dishes now.
You could test this by putting one of either (like a glass and a steel bowl) side by side and compare after a while :D
I think it has much more to do with if their whiskers are touching the sides.
Gotta love a friendly neighborhood kitty to start the video!
It's always a good day when Rachel and Jun post a video.
"It's always a good day when _____ posts a video." is a comment I see on a lot of videos recently. Is this a bot thing?
Rachel is always underestimating how creative and cute and pretty her works turn out 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ the lamp turned out so cute!! I think adding some pearls on the flowers/branches would make it look super cute and add on to Rachel's seashell/mermaid aesthetic (with the mirror) but it looks absolutely perfect as is 🥺
I've been so sick and miserable, so the sheer joy of seeing a new Rachel and Jun video that starts off with sweet neighborhood kitties is exactly what I needed!
Aww, I hope you'll feel better soon!
Now this. This is my favorite couple on the internet. This is the life I hope I have with my lover one day. Sending yall happiness! Ur project turned out great just like they always do!
I hope Rachel & Jun will continue to make videos even until they're in their 90s. I may never meet them in real life, but all these years of life updates and awesome videos have brought so much joy to me in different stages of my life. Each update is like me visiting my friend's house and they excitiedly tell me about the progress.
I hope their plants always grow well. All cats live long and happy (probably adopt a few more pets!), and they always have the best side of the internet and, most importantly, great health!
Get some gold or copper coloured wire and create an overlay to help define the lines of the petals, and can pick up colours on hardware throughout your bathroom. I think that might help the look a lot :)
It's so fascinating to see the different gaits that each cat has on the wheel. I wonder if this is in part to Poki not really having a tail to balance, whereas Haku and Nagi do.
A water drinking fountain is one of the best purchases I've made for my cat. The difference between how much she drinks when she has her fountain and when I put out a bowl (like when washing the fountain) is BIG!
Dear Rachel, as someone with no spatial awarenes nor common sense, I am with Jun on this one😅😅
The things you are able to do are simply amazing
I really hope Jun uploads some gardening tutorials soon. I want to take care of plants SO BAD but I never know what I’m doing - and it gets so overwhelming sometimes!
OMG that does NOT look cheap and crafty, it looks amazing! That shot of the shade from underneath with the light on is gorgeous, well done!!!
I got a little shocked with the opening shot on a Hardenbergia violacea, which is one of my locally native plants! A lot of garden exotics here are from Japan so I guess it makes sense that you'd use our plants too!
I am so glad to see Pichi doing well! :')
We acquired a cat very similar to her about 1.25yrs ago. She's a bengal (probably a mix) and was dropped off at the rescue at 5 years old. She was absolutely terrified at the Petsmart the rescue we volunteer at works with, so we offered to take her in for a bit since she had an adopter lined up. Well, that fell through, but she was way too scared to bring back to the store. Then we introduced her to our cats, thinking she might need a friend for some confidence. She absolutely flourished! She adores our other cats and our dogs.
I remember when you guys brought her in thinking "I don't think I could handle having a cat that is afraid of humans" and ended up in the same situation myself. Our girl Jasmine will let us pet her a tiny bit, but prefers to hang out with the other animals. I affectionately call her our roommate, since it's a bit harder to bond with her in the same way we do with our other cats. Regardless... she is a happy kitty and has a comfy life. Pichi reminds me a lot of her
This looks great Rachel! I understand being an artist you want perfection and getting things precise, but it's so pretty and I appreciate making something yourself when you can't find what you want. And everything is a cat toy, even when it shouldn't be!
This was such a good light idea and I love the way it came out in the end!
Do keep in mind though that the film is iridescent, meaning it changes between two to three colors, and not holographic which shines with full rainbows all the time. People get them mixed up and that's okay so it's really not a big deal, I just want to lower the confusion between the two ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
As a chemist I am working with dichloromethane (DCM) daily, as it's such a common solvent in organic synthesis. And it's true it's toxic, but still there is no need to worry too much, or be afraid :) So simply by keeping it away from the cats, putting on gloves and more importantly washing your hands, you're more than fine. For an actual toxic effect a lot of it, which long term exposure would be necessary. I would recommend keeping it closed though, as it has a very low boiling point and evaporates quickly. As someone who knows how hot it can get in Fukuoka, you should maybe not use it in the summer 😂
So nonetheless, I like how the lamp turned out, the way it casts those colourful shadows is pretty!
Thanks for the info! I'm really relieved to know it's not quite as scary as it sounds if I'm just working with it briefly 😅
Yaaaay!!!!! The more rainbow light in a house the better!! Instant dopamine boost 😂😂
As someone with a collection of vintage jewelry, and a plethora of cute color and pattern dresses... you go with your shiny self! There is no age limit on the things you love. I think your sakura pendant light is marvelous! Your whole house feels a little dreamy but so practical too
Omg i haven't whatched this channel in so long i miss this
PET should be able to be heat bonded. Put a little baking paper over where you want to join it, and press an iron on it for a few moments, wait for it to cool again and see if it bonded. If not, repeat the process.
The baking paper protects your iron from the plastic and vise versa.
Waiting for it to cool allows the melted bits to harden back into each other, making a strong physical bond.
It looks very 80's fairy magic SFX! I love it, especially how you incorporated the little LED sticks inside the bulb to look like the filament and anther of a real flower!
Also love Jun's new hairstyle!
This is like you took unicorn skins (Holo Taco nail polish reference) and made it into a lamp shade. It's so pretty. The vine brought it together by expanding on the flowery theme. Sometimes when some decor piece doesn't quite fit the solution is to add more that works with it.
I think Rachel said Bean-chan, the cat at the start; I don't think she was waiting for just food. That looked like an excellent girl who needed some pets as well.
Bean-chan is named Rin :)
I think the lamp's end result really suits Rachel's style. It's feminine and dainty, while still being minimal/sleek in design. Overall, very nicely done even if it is a diy/craft project! 🙇🌸
Rachel underestimates herself. The lamp is gorgeous, especially with the vines! The iridescence filmed really well too. I want to try making something like it now.
I think the fake flowers really brought it together. I'm sure you could add more fake greenery/flora to the surrounding area if you wanted and it'd look cool too (you don't need it though). Love the holographic shine. Hopefully the PET doesn't have issues with the lightbulb if that kind emits heat. Overall though, I love seeing your guy's projects!! Maybe some more spring themed DIYs for your house, who knows xD
you are the only channel I don't skip over the sponsorship for as you make it so genuine and I enjoy what you do with it! With every other channel as soon as I see the word sponsor I skip over as it's always the same script
You two truly are creating such a heavenly home! The lamp is so prettyyyy ❤
Ooh i love how Fairycore the end result is! Let all the whimsy out!
I love how your creativity has bloomed on this channel: Jun with different food creations, or re-creations, and Rachel with all the built experience in wood work and artistic expression. Being that you both are YT creators, it's expected that there are probably more than a few videos on here in which you are doing a re-creation of something to balance an eventual creative-bock, but even so all the output you two have done has been so inspiring me in the years I've followed all of your channels and I hope you will have more years of exciting and enjoyable/educational videos to come. Keep going you two!
Been a fan for years. I’m hoping one day Rachel will have her own diy channel.
She makes a lot of cool and beautiful stuff and a lot of times by scratch and Jun has his own channel on TH-cam for cooking. We get to see what he makes, hope one day get to see a channel all about Rachels artistic skills and all the sit projects she does.
Cute lamp! You could try adding leaves made of the same thing but in green. Maybe going upwards and covering the bit holding the lightbulb? It might add some more dimension and make it more whole. Just a thought!
That neighborhood cat was beautiful, Siamese pattern but silver where the brown should be and stripes!
I love you guys videos it always brightens my day to see Rachel Jun and the cats I hope you’re all doing well
fr i see a vid from them and everything gets a little brighter
I went to japan a week ago and while I was there I bought a couple of those string cat toys with the plastic wingy-bits that I remembered seeing Nagi love ages ago. I brought it back and my cat loves it, she's never been interested in string toys before but she was having the time of her life! So thank you for the indirect recommendation. And thank Nagi most of all :)
i was listening to her talking about how difficult the project was, not watching the screen anymore - then i look up and it's so pretty!!! what!!
I love Jun's commentary when Rachel is In The Zone. You continue to bring such a lovely energy together♡
your videos seriously help me relax i love your little life together and every upload is fantastic
I’m sorry, you guys have always been such relationship goals since I started watching years and years ago and my standards are so high now lol I’m so so happy y’all are still going with everything even now, I’m really so happy for both ❤❤❤
I love videos like this one! A series of DIY (home improvements) WITH RACHEL would be so cool!
We tend to be our own worst critic, so I need you to know that the light shade came out AMAZING 🤩
I love how shiny and reflective it is when the light hits it. I wish I was this crafty!
Rachel, everything has been thought of before. You are not special but you are also incredibly special! You put your own unique spin on things! You know how to do so many things that tons of people dont know what to do. You are unique and your ideas are always amazing
PET (and other plastics in general) are extremely hard to glue. There's a reason we store chemicals in plastic bottles, most common plastics are very resilient against chemical reaction. The reason the manufacturer recommends DCM is because it's one of the only solvents that can attack PET. It's probably easier to poke holes and sew thread through them, or use a hot air gun or oven to make it hot (and slightly liquid) and then physically attach it to itself. Consider finding ABS sheets (If you can, it's quite uncommon) for which you can use isopropyl alcohol as a solvent.
So pretty, I hope you two love your house. I especially love how creative you two are with your garden, household designs, and love of all of your adorable cats! The light is so pretty and whimsical, like a faerie ambiance cottagecore. I hope you both are doing well!
The way it casts soft colour on the walls is so pretty
The sound of the wheel when they run makes me think of the running sound effect in old Flintstones cartoons
Always excited for a Rachel and Jun video!!!
Rachel and Jun are such an inspiring couple!
Thank you very much for your work.❣️
Super cute fairy lamp feels very magic garden and i really like the iridescent pink and green spring colors reflecting on the walls. Also liked the other designs you started with paper. They all look nice with the colorful transparent paper. 🎉💕
The light came out nice, don't worry about it looking homemade it's what you want for your home. All of us are at different skill levels when it comes to crafting, some more advanced than others. A shape like that isn't easy to achieve but you pulled it off. I liked the way it looked with two rows of petals, that would be the only thing I change about it. It came out great since it was your first time using those materials.
Rachel and Jun video is the best start for my warm weathered morning
Many creatives think their ideas and dexterity is "common sense" since it's so baked in to who they are. Rachel you are great! Jun, you are very much not lacking in common sense, you're just married to a natural creative. :)
Also, I'm totally with you on the styling at the end turning it around. I was getting ready to sugest you try making a new pendant our of strips of wood veneer but it totally works now. ✨
The light is beautiful! I love it!
I was watching quietly, but at the first reveal around 14:00 I literally blurted out “oh, that’s so pretty.” Good job, Rachel!
I love that you show a mix of language , am actually coming to reconise some of the words now because of your videos.
The little vine with the flowers was a nice touch that ties it together and makes the pendant look more "in place" there. If the base of the lamp part doesn't get too hot, you could add some leaves to it to cover your glue joins if you wanted, but it looks great!
It's super cute!! I think crafty things have a cozy vibe, you nailed it
It's always nice to see you two do well. Thank you for the fun, relaxing videos. More wonderful years to both of you
Can we just appreciate how talented Rachel is? I would never be able to make even those paper versions at the beginning!
It’s always a great morning when Rachel and Jun upload ❤
That vine absolutely made it SHINE, it looks so good!
I’m living for these craft projects 💖
I just adore your cats and house ❤😊
It turned out great! Some of the best things are simply made.
Thank you for both for making such wholesome videos! It's so lovely seeing your garden with all the neighborhood cats.
