Gave you a thumbs up before even watching !! Cause you always come up with great diys !! & girl you did not disappoint !! The first was so glam !! My favorite !! & the flower mirror !! Beautiful !!
A tip for ya! Maybe try using E6000 and hot glue at the same time. The hot glue will dry quick and over time the E6000 will dry and make it all safer and easier. Idk I see others do that and it makes sense for both video purposes and to not have to go back later on and reglue it
Melanie P. She does suggest that in some of her videos. I think she doesn't use both when filming because she said she sometimes films parts and then takes the project apart and films again. Using just hot glue makes it easier to take apart and you can usually just peel the dried glue off and start with a clean surface again.
Hey Bethany! If a few of us pitch in $5 each or something, even $1 each, we could get your camera fixed, or a new camera. I'd love to help -- selfishly, I LOVE your videos and want you to be able to keep making them! :)
Woman of a Certain Age Hey love! I saved up money just in case something like this happens. I called Canon support though and got it to work. Idk what the problem was but they walked me thru some trouble shoots and one worked. 😁 I appreciate the want to help though!! 😊😊😊
what a kind gesture, and her humble reply showed what an honest person she is. I love seeing this. ill be subscribing now. We should also keep in mind that people make youtube videos hoping to eventually make money, some think because we dont have to that means we shouldnt and thats not a good way to think. same a waitresses ect we dont have to tip but we should tip well after all they are taking their precious-time away from other things to provide entertainment for us.
Ok.. if you wouldn't have told us camera stopped working I don't think we would have known. Your projects are amazing as always. My favorite is the mirror with stand.
You did it again!! So creative. On the candlesticks where you're using a brush 2 paint on the gold along the edges u might try the new paint pens that DT is carrying. 4 sure it comes in gold & it might be easier 2 use than a paint brush. Not sure, just an idea
The bottom part of the Candlestick is done by splatter painting. One of the easiest ways to do it is dipping a toothbrush into your copper paint and then flicking it with the back of your thumb. Another way would be to take a paintbrush dip it in your paint and tap it onto another object (like a pencil or something like that) making the splatter go onto the candlestick. 😊
Stop apologizing. This is Your Channel and you’re trying to help others with your ideas. There’s always going to be critics. Keep doing what you do. If you learn a better way, you can always repost or keep it moving🥰
You poor thing ...your allergies seem so bad! ....I get them terrible too and find that rinsing nose with sea salt water ...using breath right strips at night and using visine for allergies really helps ...the visine for allergies helps with eyes and nasal issues as the two are connected ....if you decide to try these I truly hope it helps you too ......and your videos are always fantastic and this one is too!!! Thank you ...take good care
I have allergies too. I use Zyrtec and also "Allaway" allergy eye drops, they do wonders! If your eyes are itching bad, you should try it. The itching stops within minutes! You can get it at Walmart. Loving your videos, you're so clever and talented! Congrats on the wedding. I have a son getting married soon so I look forward to any of your wedding videos!
They are all such cute ideas. So happy I came across your channel. I'm not into gold so I'd like to try it with some white and black on the candle sticks.
Hi Bethany 🙂 Once again, creativity galore- thanks so much for sharing with us! As for allergies, try eating a spoonful of local honey. It helps many people, almost like a homeopathic treatment. Make sure it is made locally, though, so it covers the allergens in your area. It’s worth a try, since you’ve been suffering for several days. My prayers are with you, as I went through the same thing back in the spring. 😢🙏🏻 God bless! 😇
It's called leafing.. you use glue let it dry for about 10 min. Then place a gold leaf where adhesive was applied. It done in copper, gold and silver. Girl, I bet you would kill it in leafing! DIY TUTORIAL ON THAT!!!
Is there a link to the anthropology site that you are DIYing from? I love them all. I personally might have sprayed the flowers on the stem and then pulled them off and glued. I say this because I don't think someone could have got the spray paint around all of the flowers as well if you wouldn't have done it the way you did, which I think turned out amazing. I just think that if you glue them to the frame and then tried to spray paint every area of the flower you'd end up with a lot of dripping and that can ruin a DIY. You did an amazing job thank you for sharing and congrats on 300, 000 subscribers!!❤️🤩👍
This is close to one she did. They want 78.00?!? And hers look better! www.anthropologie.com/shop/paradiso-small-mirror2?category=mirrors&color=027&quantity=1&size=Circle&type=REGULAR
I have put the flower stems in some old styrofoam from packaging and spray paint them. That way you can cover the entire flower, leaves and stem. Then they can dry easily too. Great job Bethany, my favorite is the flower mirror.
Great DIYS!! My favorite was the last one actually! I know it was the easiest, but for some reason it never occurred to me to make use of that hole in the bottom of the dollar tree candle holders LOL Brilliant!!! 💗
U c do mercury paint pretty easy spray with 2parts vinegar 1 part water then spray paint really easy. Love your video as always! Curious hun did u make the pic that's always in your back ground of the eyes with big lashes? If so plz send me the link :) thx hun
please u flick a paint brush with paint on it 2 get those effects the makeup sponge worked good google jackson pollack that's how he made his multimillion dollar paintings go figure art is sold by what the market will bare thank u
If you spray paint something silver and want the mercury glass look, put alcohol in a spray or spritz bottle and spray until you get the desired effect. Now, if you spray something another color, like the white you used and then try that, I don’t know what would happen. As always, use a test product before doing the real thing. Good luck! 😊👍🏻
Only just found your channel. Yor ideas are so addictive. Well done keep up the good work.Even though I'm in the UK I tend to go to our thrift shores and have I nosey. But honestly you ideas are amazing. Well done xx
Bargain Bethany...I promise I watched this video before, but because you have some of the coolest videos...I kept watching Lol. 2 thumbs up girlfriend!!!
First time watching your channel and I AM OBSESSED! I am in the middle of looking for ways to decorate our new home within reason. When you see the model homes they are so nice and over the top but too pricey. I really love the vases and mirror PHENOMENAL. THANK YOU!!!!!!
I honestly love all of these! I'm hoping to find those larger round framed mirrors. I went to 5 different DTs before I found some of the rectangular framed mirrors!
So glad you are showing some new DIY's again!!! Too many haul videos lately and not enough DIY's here on TH-cam these days!!! Your DIY's is why I was drawn to your channel and why I iitially started following your channel!!! Please keep them coming!!!
Great projects! Thanks for sharing. I am adding a link for a faux mercury glass tutorial, she has several. th-cam.com/video/4GdVicBw2d0/w-d-xo.html Look forward to your next project. Feel better.
You have done it again my favorite you tuber! So so beautiful ! I know your wedding is going to be absolutely fabulous ! I am old and I really don't know what this anthropology stuff is ...now don't laugh at me....I will investigate this because your designs today . Love love love them all! The change in the gluing of the candle sticks with the mirror and then painting them was beautiful . The mirror wall decor magnificent yet so simple. The flowers on the mirror so beautiful ! Your allergies have you tried any medication or do you want to go natural . In the meantime try with a carrier oil like olive oil. In a small bottle maybe 6 tablespoons olive oil add 15 drops of peppermint 15 drop eucalyptus maybe 10 drop tea tree essential oils. Try to in hall the oils often . And rub the oils on your temples. Make sure to avoid the eyes . Maybe a little under your nose on your neck and chest . This may help tame your allergies . Also look up to see if there are other essential oils that help with allergies and you may make another combination never more than 3 in a combination . The peppermint has helped mine and my daughters allergies . I use a defuse with these three oils almost every day . But if your allergies are too far gone I and my daughter have been given by the doctor predizone. It really works well. I also along with my daughter have asthma and have been in a like or death situation where I had no choice but to take this strong medication . I do use an inhaler daily that has it in it which has made my like so much simpler . I hope you feel better. Thank you for what you do. You brighten my day!
New subbie here - Lol about you chasing the flowers with the paint can - thanks for sharing that with us. Kimberly Nobles has this tutorial from five years ago: "Faux Mercury Glass Tutorial", but I don't think it can be done over paint, just on glass. All your projects turned out Absolutely Fabulous.
Try Rub n Buff. Its a cream paint in a tube. Comes in gold, silver, etc. You squeeze the paint on your finger and highlight what you want. I use it often to highlight raised areas on frames. It would be nice on the candlesticks you used the makeup sponges on. Great work. Love the mirrored wall art especially. TFS.
Congrats for the beautiful projects! Love your creativity!! (It was just a little boring to watch the whole complain about the camera thing during the whole video.. we didn’t really needed to know it. The video quality still awesome, though.)
Hey, just wanted to say that I love your videos. They're so inspiring...on the candlestick obstacle, I know painting and there's a technique called "dry-brushing"...mostly used to skies in paintings. What you do is you take a dry brush, dip it in paint and then wipe it on a towel before you apply. It leaves a sheer coat of color without saturating the background color. You can practice on paper before anything like objects but it usually turns out depth-giving to painting and objects alike. Hope this helps! Keep up the awesomeness! Peace.
I love your ideas, so creative and sweet girl. I love the candle holders in different heights, Anthropology inspired, amazing. The white with the gold looks spectacular and it looks expensive
Absolutely love all these DIYs. I'm going to try all of them, but haven't seen any of the round framed mirrors at my two local dollar. Going to keep looking though, love love love all of them. If I could, I'd give you 10 thumbs up.
Would have liked to have seen the actual Anthropologie items that inspired your DIY’s as you referenced them for the first time, OR at least at the beginning of the video. Maybe mod shots or something.....
It would have been nice if you had showed us pictures of the Anthropologie inspiration pieces. Then we could have judged how well the DIY Dollar tree pieces mimicked the real Anthropologie pieces. It is sort of like saying: " I am going to paint a picture of Mt. Shasta" if we do not know what Mt. Shasta looks like, how can we tell if you did it justice?
I'm so doing the mirror frame but instead I'm going to make it a picture frame-- my boyfriend and I are going to do a old Greecian style photo shoot and I would LOVE to use it as both a prop and a way to display it! (And those candle sticks would make a beautiful wedding centerpiece!)
I loved them all I only wish you would show the actual object from Anthropology that you got your inspiration from. I would have like to have seen screenshots from the Anthropology website and then see you make the Dollar Tree version. Other than that, girl you are a genius with your DIY's.
To make Mercury Glass you will need Looking Glass spray paint and a spray bottle with a mixture of water & Vinegar that you spray on while the paint is wet. The best DIY that shows how to make beautiful mercury glass that I have seen was done by Toni at her Your House A Home Channel. Here is a link where she shows how to do regular mercury glass and then Colored mercury glass! She gets amazing results. th-cam.com/video/4GdVicBw2d0/w-d-xo.html
Giant bath sponges with big holes... If you dry paint with one of those, you'll get that blotchy paint look you were attempting on the candle sticks... Cut the sponge to fit your hand perfectly, then dip the sponge in paint and blot it a few times and apply lightly... I use that method every time... Martha Stewart taught me that when I was 12 on PBS
I sure hope you are selling these on an Etsy Shop! 🌹🌹🌷🌷 I make and have tons of hobbies over the year and you are the kind of friend I wished lived near me but you don’t so I thank you for your awesome fantastic tutorials you do! Just make a bunch of extra money and sell them! This is your calling. This particular video blew my mind! I was in love with everything! Agree, the flower mirror one of my favs but so was everything else. Thank you for cracking me up laughing and being your sweet silly smart self! xo
It would just be awesome if you used the right products, lighting etc..before you have hurry all the time..I would love to share your videos in my groups of ppl who would be very interested in your DIY projects. The flower spray paint effort was a disaster. Showing the proper way would have been awesome
The candle sticks on Anthropology, look like the paint was splattered on. i.e. flip a small brush with paint. You could just cover the parts you don't want the paint on
So sorry about your camera but loved the video anyway as usual. Great ideas! My favorites were the flowered stand mirror and the candlesticks. Oh and the vase...sooooo, I guess about all of them.
Maybe for the "mercury" tape off the section, spray gold, spritz water then spraywhite? I seem to remember that technique but I've been doing crafts for a hundred years so I could be remembering it wrong.
Oh girl! It was hard for me to pick just one of my favs....the mirror hanging and the gold flower mirror on stand! I love all of your ideas and as a newbie your videos are so helpful for me! Thanks 😊
Very creative and pretty decor projects. For viewer's edification: Those little metal tabs in the picture frames are called glazier's points - designed to hold the glass in place. Keep up the great work!
Another fun DIY video!! Super ideas. For the paint thing, you may want to try wetting the sponge and squeezing most of the water out, leaving the sponge moist. Then try dipping the moist sponge lightly in the paint ans stippling the paint on that way. For me, the small amount of water dilutes the paint enough to get a softer, more subtle application, if that is what you are looking for. Your videos are awakening my creativity, and I love it. Good luck with your camera!!, and thanks for the inspiration!!
There is another TH-camr I watch who spray paints flowers for her crafts, but she keeps the flowers on the stems before she paints them. Maybe that will help for next time?:) Love your diys!!
I love 💕 all of them and you make it so easy for us to follow the simple instructions to make beautiful things with little effort! The mirror is absolutely gorgeous and I’m going to try to make it myself! Mind you, I have a hard time just making a wreath 😂😁!
I would have like if at the end of the video you could have done a split screen of each project and the retail price of the inspiration vs the cost of the DIY and maybe how long it took to complete the project. I'd like to see the actual inspirations you used. Great job. Glad you got your camera working again. Have a great week. Thank for sharing your ideas.
To do the mercury glass, you need two types of spray paint. A mirror finish metallic spray paint and whatever color you with it. Also would need a mister bottle with a 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar. Mist your glass lightly before spraying on the mirror paint. Let it dry a bit, then gently dab it with a paper towel. Mist again with water, then spray with the colored spray paint (light coat) and again dab it lightly with a paper towel. The mirror paint should be shining through where the water droplets were. It might take some experimentation to get it just right.
Bethany, the technique on the candlestick is called dry brushing. I haven't checked but I think you could find an example here on TH-cam. Great Job on the knock off.
I would have liked to see what ur inspiration pieces looked for comparison. I was going 2 suggest u spray paint ur pieces w/metallic paint then use the vinegar/water and spritz on immediately then dab w/paper towel. Someone had similar suggestion.
Once again great DIY's. I am gonna try these but use silver spray paint instead. I really like silver better than gold and it would match the blue in my bathroom where I want to use the mirror on my vanity. Love you girl. Keep up the great work!
I know it might prove difficult in recording; use a large box turned on it's side to help contain the flowers & paint. Makes a miniature paint shop. Just be careful not to be too close on windy days or you might get it back in your face.
I think spraying the flowers gold and then gluing them like you did is better. It would be hard for me to visualize if it looks good while the flowers are still pink. If I paint them and then glue them, I feel like I wouldn't have to worry about repositioning them if it doesn't come out the way I want. All of your projects are awesome!
Your decorating is beautiful I love it. For the mercury glass look you could try a spray paint called looking glass. Paint on the underside of the candle holder but first dab or speckle with black paint then spray over the black it will give it a aged mirror look. Keep up the great ideas.
You are so creative & funny! Thank you for the banging ideas. Also for the tip to shop at Dollar Tree online. A lot of the time the stores around me don't have the items. I'm making everyone of these diy's.
All are great but the flower mirror is my favorite! While you were taking the flowers apart I was thinking there has got to be an easier way...thanks for the tip of spray painting AFTER attaching!
Love them. The candle holders are great. I found the picture you referred to. You might get a better shine with metallic marker help you. The bottom would hard to match from the DT but if you had gold sheets it would match very well. But I definetly see what you were trying to accomodate (great job)
Love your videos! Would love to see the pieces you are copying though. Can you throw in a pic on the next videos you do so we know what you are trying to imitate? You are so creative!! I love seeing what you come up with! Great job as always!!
Stray a mixture of vinegar and water on the paint to get the Mercury effect
donna crim before the white paint or on the white paint before the gold or after the gold while it's still wet?
Gave you a thumbs up before even watching !! Cause you always come up with great diys !! & girl you did not disappoint !! The first was so glam !! My favorite !! & the flower mirror !! Beautiful !!
Mommy Garcia, I also gave an immediate thumbs up! I do not understand why she gets dislikes.
Me as well , I always find myself giving her a thumbs up before pressing play she has so much talent n her diy’s are always beautiful
Same!!
A tip for ya! Maybe try using E6000 and hot glue at the same time. The hot glue will dry quick and over time the E6000 will dry and make it all safer and easier. Idk I see others do that and it makes sense for both video purposes and to not have to go back later on and reglue it
Melanie P. She does suggest that in some of her videos. I think she doesn't use both when filming because she said she sometimes films parts and then takes the project apart and films again. Using just hot glue makes it easier to take apart and you can usually just peel the dried glue off and start with a clean surface again.
Hey Bethany! If a few of us pitch in $5 each or something, even $1 each, we could get your camera fixed, or a new camera. I'd love to help -- selfishly, I LOVE your videos and want you to be able to keep making them! :)
Woman of a Certain Age Hey love! I saved up money just in case something like this happens. I called Canon support though and got it to work. Idk what the problem was but they walked me thru some trouble shoots and one worked. 😁 I appreciate the want to help though!! 😊😊😊

Congrats! So deserving.
Wowwie Congrats on reaching 300,000
Ok.. if you wouldn't have told us camera stopped working I don't think we would have known. Your projects are amazing as always.
My favorite is the mirror with stand.
You did it again!! So creative. On the candlesticks where you're using a brush 2 paint on the gold along the edges u might try the new paint pens that DT is carrying. 4 sure it comes in gold & it might be easier 2 use than a paint brush. Not sure, just an idea
Remember when you would challenge us to 500 likes....omg look at you now THOUSAAAAAAANDS of likes. So proud of you.
The bottom part of the Candlestick is done by splatter painting. One of the easiest ways to do it is dipping a toothbrush into your copper paint and then flicking it with the back of your thumb. Another way would be to take a paintbrush dip it in your paint and tap it onto another object (like a pencil or something like that) making the splatter go onto the candlestick. 😊

They are all such cute ideas. So happy I came across your channel. I'm not into gold so I'd like to try it with some white and black on the candle sticks.
Wow congrads on 300k. I love the gold mirror with ths flowers❤ Thumbs up👍
My favorite is the mirror on the stand but I really don't get how you got it to stay so sturdy.

Sandra Conoff Great idea. That's what I do and so far it's worked. I don't have to take my allergy medicine but maybe once in a while.

Crafty Randomness that's what I was thinking she was going to say, when she said she did it the wrong way. I think that would work pretty good.
This is close to one she did. They want 78.00?!? And hers look better!

I have put the flower stems in some old styrofoam from packaging and spray paint them. That way you can cover the entire flower, leaves and stem. Then they can dry easily too. Great job Bethany, my favorite is the flower mirror.
BettyXO thank you very much and yes that it a ridiculous amount of money!
i love the mirror also! be healed from these allergies in the name and by the blood of Jesus. amen
Amen.

I really like the white and gold candleholders. Love how beautiful your background looks 🤗❤️❤️❤️

I love your ideas, so creative and sweet girl. I love the candle holders in different heights, Anthropology inspired, amazing. The white with the gold looks spectacular and it looks expensive
I'm standing at Michael's debating on whether or not to buy a mirror that looks EXACTLY like the floral one you made. You're a genius!
Love them all!!❤️ If you don't mind giving you a tip. It would be amazing if next video you added pictures of the anthropology items(:
The gold mirrors are really very pretty!! I just did one from Jay Munee's channel... But I would like to do that one for the bedroom... So nice!
I looked up the actual Anthropology candle sticks, and you did a phenomenal job copying them!!! Great DIY!
Absolutely love all these DIYs. I'm going to try all of them, but haven't seen any of the round framed mirrors at my two local dollar. Going to keep looking though, love love love all of them. If I could, I'd give you 10 thumbs up.
Would have liked to have seen the actual Anthropologie items that inspired your DIY’s as you referenced them for the first time, OR at least at the beginning of the video. Maybe mod shots or something.....
It would have been nice if you had showed us pictures of the Anthropologie inspiration pieces. Then we could have judged how well the DIY Dollar tree pieces mimicked the real Anthropologie pieces. It is sort of like saying: " I am going to paint a picture of Mt. Shasta" if we do not know what Mt. Shasta looks like, how can we tell if you did it justice?
Everything came out pretty darn cute.
I'm so doing the mirror frame but instead I'm going to make it a picture frame-- my boyfriend and I are going to do a old Greecian style photo shoot and I would LOVE to use it as both a prop and a way to display it! (And those candle sticks would make a beautiful wedding centerpiece!)
I loved them all I only wish you would show the actual object from Anthropology that you got your inspiration from. I would have like to have seen screenshots from the Anthropology website and then see you make the Dollar Tree version. Other than that, girl you are a genius with your DIY's.
Your creations are always inspiring. I think that mirror is my next project for my daughter's birthday party table. Thx
To make Mercury Glass you will need Looking Glass spray paint and a spray bottle with a mixture of water & Vinegar that you spray on while the paint is wet. The best DIY that shows how to make beautiful mercury glass that I have seen was done by Toni at her Your House A Home Channel. Here is a link where she shows how to do regular mercury glass and then Colored mercury glass! She gets amazing results. th-cam.com/video/4GdVicBw2d0/w-d-xo.html
Always love your positive attitude and spunk! Keep making these awesome videos....I never get bored with your "diy" ideas!
This is fantastic, I’m redoing a small bathroom. Thank you. 😻🍀👍
I love the mirror with the gold flowers on it..so pretty..thanks..btw sending 🙏🏽I hope your feeling better now.💗☺️✌🏽💕tfs.
Looks amazing!!!
Can we have a side by side of the Anthropologie inspiration you’re talking about
Giant bath sponges with big holes...
If you dry paint with one of those, you'll get that blotchy paint look you were attempting on the candle sticks...
Cut the sponge to fit your hand perfectly, then dip the sponge in paint and blot it a few times and apply lightly... I use that method every time...
Martha Stewart taught me that when I was 12 on PBS
I sure hope you are selling these on an Etsy Shop! 🌹🌹🌷🌷 I make and have tons of hobbies over the year and you are the kind of friend I wished lived near me but you don’t so I thank you for your awesome fantastic tutorials you do! Just make a bunch of extra money and sell them! This is your calling. This particular video blew my mind! I was in love with everything! Agree, the flower mirror one of my favs but so was everything else. Thank you for cracking me up laughing and being your sweet silly smart self! xo
It would just be awesome if you used the right products, lighting etc..before you have hurry all the time..I would love to share your videos in my groups of ppl who would be very interested in your DIY projects. The flower spray paint effort was a disaster. Showing the proper way would have been awesome
Great vid!! Thanks for sharing Bethany!!! U are one of not the best diy channel out there. What I love about this diy, I have most everything!! Lol
Sorry about your camera. Great DIYs. If possible can u show the pics of the Anthropologie items to compare.?
😍
The candle sticks on Anthropology, look like the paint was splattered on. i.e. flip a small brush with paint. You could just cover the parts you don't want the paint on
So sorry about your camera but loved the video anyway as usual. Great ideas! My favorites were the flowered stand mirror and the candlesticks. Oh and the vase...sooooo, I guess about all of them.
Thanks for the inspiration..I made the flower mirror for my daughter's room, but made it rose gold color. She loves it !!
Maybe for the "mercury" tape off the section, spray gold, spritz water then spraywhite? I seem to remember that technique but I've been doing crafts for a hundred years so I could be remembering it wrong.
Oh girl! It was hard for me to pick just one of my favs....the mirror hanging and the gold flower mirror on stand! I love all of your ideas and as a newbie your videos are so helpful for me! Thanks 😊
Very creative and pretty decor projects. For viewer's edification: Those little metal tabs in the picture frames are called glazier's points - designed to hold the glass in place. Keep up the great work!
Another fun DIY video!! Super ideas. For the paint thing, you may want to try wetting the sponge and squeezing most of the water out, leaving the sponge moist. Then try dipping the moist sponge lightly in the paint ans stippling the paint on that way. For me, the small amount of water dilutes the paint enough to get a softer, more subtle application, if that is what you are looking for.
Your videos are awakening my creativity, and I love it.
Good luck with your camera!!, and thanks for the inspiration!!
If I'm not mistaken I think spraying it with vinegar will mimic the mercury, but not sure if it would work if you added paint to the vinigar...?
These were so cute! I loved all of them. Great Job Bethany. I hope you fix the camera soon. I love your DIY’s and I don’t want to go without them.
There is another TH-camr I watch who spray paints flowers for her crafts, but she keeps the flowers on the stems before she paints them. Maybe that will help for next time?:) Love your diys!!
I can't believe how fast your channel is growing! You must really be happy with your growth! Congrats on 300K
I love 💕 all of them and you make it so easy for us to follow the simple instructions to make beautiful things with little effort! The mirror is absolutely gorgeous and I’m going to try to make it myself! Mind you, I have a hard time just making a wreath 😂😁!
I would have like if at the end of the video you could have done a split screen of each project and the retail price of the inspiration vs the cost of the DIY and maybe how long it took to complete the project. I'd like to see the actual inspirations you used.
Great job. Glad you got your camera working again. Have a great week. Thank for sharing your ideas.
To do the mercury glass, you need two types of spray paint. A mirror finish metallic spray paint and whatever color you with it. Also would need a mister bottle with a 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar. Mist your glass lightly before spraying on the mirror paint. Let it dry a bit, then gently dab it with a paper towel. Mist again with water, then spray with the colored spray paint (light coat) and again dab it lightly with a paper towel. The mirror paint should be shining through where the water droplets were. It might take some experimentation to get it just right.
Bethany, the technique on the candlestick is called dry brushing. I haven't checked but I think you could find an example here on TH-cam. Great Job on the knock off.
I would have liked to see what ur inspiration pieces looked for comparison. I was going 2 suggest u spray paint ur pieces w/metallic paint then use the vinegar/water and spritz on immediately then dab w/paper towel. Someone had similar suggestion.
Once again great DIY's. I am gonna try these but use silver spray paint instead. I really like silver better than gold and it would match the blue in my bathroom where I want to use the mirror on my vanity. Love you girl. Keep up the great work!
A huge congratulations on hitting 300,000 subscribers! I loved all the DIYs!
I’m going to make that mirror! But I’m keeping the flowers pink and white because it goes with my room! Thank you for this DIY
I know it might prove difficult in recording; use a large box turned on it's side to help contain the flowers & paint. Makes a miniature paint shop. Just be careful not to be too close on windy days or you might get it back in your face.
I think spraying the flowers gold and then gluing them like you did is better. It would be hard for me to visualize if it looks good while the flowers are still pink. If I paint them and then glue them, I feel like I wouldn't have to worry about repositioning them if it doesn't come out the way I want. All of your projects are awesome!
I love ur channel..... but I have to ask: where do u put all the things that u make?
U r so fun and creative and I really do enjoy watching ......
Your decorating is beautiful I love it. For the mercury glass look you could try a spray paint called looking glass. Paint on the underside of the candle holder but first dab or speckle with black paint then spray over the black it will give it a aged mirror look. Keep up the great ideas.
You are so creative & funny! Thank you for the banging ideas. Also for the tip to shop at Dollar Tree online. A lot of the time the stores around me don't have the items. I'm making everyone of these diy's.
Congrats on your 300k subscribers. You are truly amazing & I hope your camera situation works out soon. We love you Bethany.
I love these types of videos!! Could you add pictures of the items that have inspired you (the original decor)? Love your channel!!
I like your projects, Bethany. They're beautiful and useful. Thank you.
All are great but the flower mirror is my favorite! While you were taking the flowers apart I was thinking there has got to be an easier way...thanks for the tip of spray painting AFTER attaching!
Love them. The candle holders are great. I found the picture you referred to. You might get a better shine with metallic marker help you. The bottom would hard to match from the DT but if you had gold sheets it would match very well. But I definetly see what you were trying to accomodate (great job)
Love your videos! Would love to see the pieces you are copying though. Can you throw in a pic on the next videos you do so we know what you are trying to imitate? You are so creative!! I love seeing what you come up with! Great job as always!!
