I have a craft show in October and like to have some small items. But what do I do. Well, thank you for the answer. I'm making tags from my scrap wood. Loved the technique you used for prepping the wood. Not only can I use up my scrap wood, but I can also use a lot of my napkins! Yes, I am a napkin horder. I loved all the projects, but what I love the most is your commentary. Thanks for inspiring us and also for giving us laughter. You are the best!
@gertgerenser1975 I do use pay pal. But. What happened is there was no order for me to fill. If you go on the website and scroll down and click on the napkins in the shop tab. You then let me know which bundle you want that way. It creates an order with a number for me to fill it and removes the stock from my inventory!! Then it asks you to pay!! I hope that helps!! Don't be sorry!! I AM SORRY! If I knew what you wanted I would have sent it but did not want to keep holding your money until I got in touch with you! That didn't seem right to me
Look at you doing the Dern things... that red stained riser is gorgeous and I really enjoyed watching you paint. Also you made a great video with those still shots too.
I can always count on. You to notice anything knew and let me know if it's good or not. You have no idea how much I appreciate your attention to detail
Over here in the UK, we call dandelions, fairy wishes or just faeries . I love your nails and your really lovely sense of humour. I’m going to have a go at the dandelions, I thought they looked beautiful x
Oh my, I just loved that picture with the dandelions! That turned out so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! I think you are an amazing artist ❤❤
Wow Brandi, you are an amazing artist those pieces are stunning, so beautiful ❤️. And i received my napkins Friday, i love them all and cant wait to start using them. God bless

💙❤️💚🧡 😂😂 I may get a little out of hand at times..lol I'm so happy to hear I can bring joy to your day!! I deff could use cool neighbors to chill with (hugs)
Oh poop! I also meant to tell you... if you put a scrappy piece of wood behind a piece you are drilling thru, it'll stop that tear out from happening like what happened on your little tag hole. Yippeeeeee!!! ❤❤😂❤❤🎉🎉🎉
LOL Brandi. already lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And now I have a goose egg on my forehead from your wood hit lol lol And I love your first try nd the cuts on wood .. LOL again.. You are such a joy to watch. 😊😉🙂🙃🤣
Hey 👋 hey 🤗 Brandi love the riser so much fun with the wish little Lion l.o.l. came out beautiful 🐝 safe 😜 and 🐝 blessed 🙏 wonderful weekend 🙏🙏🙏 byeeee
Finally! I can comment! lol for a min there I could only watch the live chat replay and I was like No! I’m already sad I missed the debut and now I have to relive something I missed!😢😅 lol anywho, that red riser looks BEAUTIFUL! Gives me some ideas🤔 the tags were super cute too. You always find the best napkins!❤❤ loving this ish as ALWAYSSSSS!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊😂
I love watching your videos, you are so funny and creative. After watching this video I am going to paint the dandelion wishes 🙂. And I might do the tags with Christmas napkins.
Loving all of these projects. Gonna try my hand at painting some dandelions."Wish" me luck and don't blow all that stuff around. LOL Thank you as always Brandi for sharing your awesome creativity.
@@thediystruggle I sure would. I had to get my AC in my truck fixed. It's to damn hot here in TX!! I do love all 3 of your projects especially the the tags. 😍
Ohhh my goodness! You are so fun! I just subscribed and can’t wait for more of your videos! These tags are so cute too! Love these ideas! Thanks for being you! 😂🥰
Love your stained art work on scrapwood. The tags are so stinkin cute. I just got some free scrap osk from my landlord today. Already cut up into 15 pieces. What a great idea for me to use it for. Be a perfect addition 4 my upcoming craft fair. Youre the best, ❤❤❤
I love hearing that this would be a great idea!! I can not tell you how much I always hope people will see something I make and instantly have something they can make with the idea of the idea was just what they were looking for! This is so great!
To solve the problem on the chip out on the back side of your wooden tags Just clamp another piece of wood to the back side before you drill, and it will not blow out the back of the tag
Your cracking me up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤that’s exactly how my projects go lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂wait til you get in your 50s that paint bottle noise happens when you laugh when you cough lol it’s great your like your own band toot toot beep beep 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Hey Brandi!!! I LOVE YOUR ARTWORK!!! Girlfriend, these projects are GORGEOUS!!! The first plank riser reminds me of all the cedar wood my dad used to make crafts from, that he harvested from our land in Va.! We had our own forest! Lol...But the last project brought together the beautiful wood grain and what a Beautiful Painting of the "Wishies"!!!! (my kids and I call them wishies too!) Thank you for such an awesome video...I mean, all the others are perfection too! 🥰🙏🙌❤
Tip for you. When drilling the hole using the spade bit (or any larger drill bit) put a piece of sacrificial wood underneath it. This will stop the tearing out of the wood underneath.
2:04 it's called blowout. Place another chunk of scrap wood underneath where you're drilling and drill through your piece and into it and it won't do that. 😊
@@thediystruggle lol, thanks! Ryobi IS great, I know a lot of builders that use them. Well, unless you thought hey, I wish it did this or that, then I’m sure it’s a safe bet! Love that so many women are using power tools and putting guys to shame! We CAN do things that once were “for guys”, and we do them well! Thx for responding!
Also, where do you think is the best place(s) to buy printed napkins? I don't find much selection in my local stores. And what about printed tissue paper?
So, I get my Napkins from everywhere. I do not think there isnt a store I do not go in I am not hunting for these! On my browsing channel I show tons of Napkins in stores when I find them. A few places is Home goods, TJ maxx, Hobby Lobby, Marshalls and Amazon.. As for The printed tissue paper I personally can never find good paper I love and want to use. So, I am working on a solution for that!
Haha, well if you are interested I usually have some kind of Napkin bundle on my website and starting in August I am launching my own Decoupage papers! So, check out thediystruggle.com whenever you get a chance and see if it has something to offer you! Thanks so much for asking! I always try to help if I can!
If you put another piece of scrap wood under your piece you are drilling you will get a lot less blow out. and or stop before you go all the way through and drill from the other side.
Brandi, girl this are gorgeous! I love watching you paint! I love all three!!
Thank you so much Sandra!!!

Try putting a bit of painters tape on the wood before drilling
Will do!!
Or put a scrap board under where you're drilling helps too.
@@dcruicks1 absolutely
Thanks for the wishes.🎉
I just found your channel and I must say, I really enjoy watching you. I love love love your energy
I appreciate that amberlee!! Nice to meet you!!
Loved your video as usual. Cracked up when the comment came on "That hammer needs a tetanus shot" Love your humor. Keep it up!!

Hubby has tons of scrap wood just sitting in the pole barn, he told me to use all that I wanted.... after we build a couple of bat houses. 😁
bat houses?!?!?!?!
Awesome. I love bats.
@@thediystruggle bats live in them. So cool to watch them!
@@thediystruggleYes, bats are nearly as critical to the environment as bees!!!
I love that that you're not all fancy and frilly. A real woman!
Wait till the point of your drill bit comes through,then turn you piece of wood over and finish the drilling 😊
Thank you!! That's an awesome tip
When i drill holes I use painters tape or masking tape whatever I have handy and I don't have any blowout
Drill through the wood with a tiny bit before using your paddle bit and it will keep the wood from cracking 😁
You could also make house's to😊😊❤❤
I have made those before!! Great idea my friend!!
😊😊😊🤍🤍🤍
At 0.04: "Ouch" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol

Hey Brandy. What's that roller brush stencil you used? Please send the link. Thank you. 😊 I love your scrap wood art. I'm inspire. 🎉🎉🎉
I have to be honest I have no idea!! I found that thing in the bottom of a drawer....lol I'm so sorry
@@thediystruggle ok. I know you have stuff stashed in places you forgot. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
You put a sacrifice board under the board your drilling you won't have tear out. Jim's wood shop
I love that.. * sacrifice board * thanks for the tip Jim
2:04 it's called blowout. Place another chunk of scrap wood underneath where you're drilling and drill through your piece and into it and it won't do that. 😊
Thank you!!!
@@thediystruggle you're welcome!
Curious, how do you like your ryobi table saw? Been wanting to get a saw, I’m torn over which brand to get, thx! As always, love your videos!💕
I am probably the wrong person to ask because I LOVE all things Ryobi! I literally would not own another brand of tool if I don't have too!
@@thediystruggle lol, thanks! Ryobi IS great, I know a lot of builders that use them. Well, unless you thought hey, I wish it did this or that, then I’m sure it’s a safe bet!

How/where can I learn when and how to use the wax?
I see you and others use it & it totally mystifies me. 🤔
There are all kinds of different waxes. This antique wax I treat mostly like an acrylic paint. Only it takes longer to dry and it is a bit greesy
Wood abuse 😂
What would use use these lovely tags for 🩷🏴
❤❤❤❤
