The master of holiday DIY has officially declared the beginning of the Christmas season! And I love it! ❤️ 💚 Isaac, what a fun, unique project to kick off “the hap-happiest season of all”! 🎄 I never would have guessed that the entire mug of hot chocolate was constructed wholly from styrofoam. I loved your technique of chipping away at the styrofoam to make the surface of the hot chocolate look so dang realistic. ☕️ Thanks for getting “the most wonderful time of the year” started with such a wonderful tutorial. I can’t wait to see the next Isaac Alexander DIY Christmas 2022 project! 🎅🏼
That's a tall drink of hot cocoa for a tall drink of hot craftsman! Lol, I'm particularly impresses that the cup was carved out rather than some foam wrap around as I would've originally guessed.
Thank you for this! Instead of doing all of that digging and scooping the inside of the mug, I am going to finally use those loose useless blades that come with my hot wire foam cutting knife, make a square and cut and mine out that way.
I love this. I already made they cotton candy out of spray foam. Everybody loved it and said I was so creative. I told them no Isaac Alexander is creative, I just copied his. I checked market place and craigs list for the foam blocks nothing close enough to Atlantic beach. So I found out this morning there is a tractor supply store right up the road. They gave me some. I am so excited to start working on more stuff to go with my Christmas lights to music display. I am also ordering your book for a gift for my grand kids.
I’m so happy that you got wonderful compliments on the cotton candy. I’m glad I could help and inspire. I’m happy you were able to find the blocks as well. Lastly I wanted to say thank you so much for getting my book! I hope the grandkids like it!
Thank you so much Paul. I try to think outside of the box and create things that are unconventional or otherwise different. I do love creating traditional holiday decor but definitely wanted to do something different with this one
So stinkin cute! This is definitely a winner. So very unique. I love the way your brain works. I dub you King of Christmas DIY Outdoor Decor. Thanks again for another inspiring project. Merry Christmas.
This should have tens of thousands of likes. You, sir, are a wizard with that styrofoam and your saws. I would never have thought up such a project; it is unbelievably amazing.
Omg 😱 you are amazing designer 👨🎨 I can’t wait to see everything put together and this video just put me in the Christmas mood. Thank you for sharing your stunning hot coco cup with us. Have a wonderful week 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
I try to think outside of the box, though I love doing traditional designs, I like to challenge myself to see if I can create something that hasn’t been done before. So thank you ☺️
Just came upon your channel today when looking for DIY holiday decor for outdoor use. Although I’m totally new & hesitant about using any power tools, your videos are super helpful & easy to follow for a novice like me. Also wanted to congratulate you on your first book! My kiddos are older now, but would def like to support you so will be purchasing to donate to some of the teacher’s in-class libraries at our local elementary schools this year for Christmas. Again, thanks for the time & effort on the video content. Fingers crossed that mine will turn out as close to yours as possible!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. This is the perfect ending to my day. As someone who only started using power tools about four years ago, I know it may seem daunting at first but one step at a time is all I did. And if you do end up creating any of my tutorials, I’m easy to reach if you need further assistance, you can reach me via direct message on Facebook by looking up my DIY page called “Isaac Alexander DIY“. Lastly, thank you so much for your generous support. I’m so happy that you will be purchasing my book. I appreciate your kindness and goodwill
I’m in awe to see from the beginning of it to the final look. Absolutely a top tier unique Christmas decor. Alright Tigri, let’s have a cup of hot chocolate to celebrate your project 🎅🏼🎄☕️
Fantastic, I was thinking on how to make that myself, you bring such good ideas, when I get how teddy bear spa done I will have to let you and everyone see it.
Wonderful project. This is a great idea for a Christmas parade float. -- And I absolutely covet your Medusa heads by the door! Brightest blessings to you!
I started watching your videos last year and I love your ideas. So clear and easy to modify if I want. One question: do you have a Cricut? I think you’d find so many uses for it!!! Like your own custom vinyl decals
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY thanks !!!! I was actually looking in the trash at the college where I teach for free styrofoam hahahah have a good one thanks for response
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY well I did but they had massive holes in the middle so couldnt really see what I could do ith them snif also am drowning literally in tests/exams to correct ! would much rather be creating decorations ! I really love all your videos esp halloween !! I am not as into x mas as halloween 🎃 I look forard to halloween pretty much the day after
Awesome tutorial! Can you help in possibly making large ice cream plastic molds and/or Hersey kiss bottles of syrup. I was thinking maybe using empty bottles of detergent myself. Thanks for your great tutorials
I love this idea! I've used foam board for projects, but when it comes to sculpting 3-D, my brain struggles with how to go about getting the shape. Thank you for including all the details in making the magic from foam blocks! It's something I might actually be able to tackle myself. :)
Full disclosure: Christmas is not my thing at all. But this is an amazing project. I look forward to all of your Christmas themed videos. I live vicariously through you!
Do you have a theme for this year or what are your plans? I’m excited to see your Christmas display this year, it’s been wonderful to see all of your work come together.
Hello Lix! I actually never have a theme for my decorations. I just do what I think will look great and then try to make it cohesive. I will have a candy land and a possible meadow of deers
I love this so much!! ❤ Thanks for sharing your creations! They are so fun & totally different from what you can find in the stores! 👍👍☕ I think the only changes I would do would be to paint the cup handle with white stripes to make it look like a candy cane and maybe do a bunch of mini marshmallows instead of the big ones. 😀
Omg this came out absolutely awesome! Your projects really impress me! I’m going to have to check this store out! I can’t find any on my local Facebook marketplace.
Oh my goodness! I love this so much, I need this too😂 Incredible & looks just perfect. I make the regular size ones for gifts, not sure I'd attempt this one. I'll leave it to you pro 😍
Love every single one of your projects, you are very talented! Where in facebook do you find the styrofoam blocks, I have looked and cannot find them???
Thank you so much. I just go to Facebook Marketplace and then search “Styrofoam blocks“. Sometimes local businesses will be giving them away but it’s a hit or miss and since a lot of crafters like to use them during this time, it’s harder to find them during the holiday season

Mmm all these storms I’m getting makes me want a cup that big 😋

Really cool idea, you come up with some of the best ideas. I bet your neighbors love you.
Thank you so much Jerry!
And yea my neighbors are great !
Wow! Looks great. I wish i had space for something like that.
Time to build a shed hehe

Thank you so much for your comment. It was a labor of love but I love how it turned out
I’m really exited to see what you make this season! Perhaps a Christmas village?!?
Thank you so much! no Christmas village this year but maybe next year
Olsi saves the day as always.....
Indeed! 🎉
Love it! Also love your Medusa heads on your front door!
Those are my favorite! I have them up all year
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY I'd love to find them but I do wear my Medusa medillon all year round to, little gift from my fur babies

you should do a diy holiday bear or penguins. also you should make a led nativity scene or nativity statues out of foam or soemthing
Love this idea

I was just wondering what Issac was going to make! Thank you, it’s great! ❤💚🤍
Thank you so much Nancy! Just getting started
@@IsaacAlexanderDIY can’t even imagine what you are going to do next!! ❤️🤍💚
That cup is so sweet… That’s the best thing you’ve done so far. :-)
Thank you so much ! 🎄☺️
That was so creative and the final effect is just stunning. So cute and sweet. Just like you. Santa's elf did a great job, too.
Thank you so much Diane! Appreciate the kind comments
I love it!!! Next year for sure; I have this years deco already done. You would be great at set design for theater.
So stinkin cute! This is definitely a winner. So very unique. I love the way your brain works. I dub you King of Christmas DIY Outdoor Decor. Thanks again for another inspiring project. Merry Christmas.
I shall accept that title with honor! 🤴🏻Thank you so much !
You can also use skewers to hold them together.
To hold what together

Just amazing but what keeps it from flying away or moving around
It’s wide enough that it doesn’t but then again we don’t have high winds here
Excellent
Thanks Debbie !
What a great project, love it. Can't wait to see what else you are going to do this year.
Thank you so much Dianne! It’ll be a winter wonderland

How do you prevent it from blowing away?
It’s wide enough that it doesn’t easily tip over. So currently I just have it sitting outside without any support
❤YOU ARE AMAZIN❤😊❤
