Next time you are in a dollar store, stock up on bamboo kabob skewers! I love the dice lamps! If I were to recreate them, that's what I would use. I've used them for everything from floral picks to armature for masks and sculpture. You can cut them apart with a craft knife or heavy duty scissors, they take everything from paint and paper to polymer clay extremely well. They are the kind of thing you just keep finding more things to do with. Remember popsicle sticks from summer camp? That vibe, but pretending to be grown-up about it.
You give off a Changbin energy to me (in the best sense)! I feel my bias in the group changes depending on the day. xD They're a rare group where I just love them all.
This video gave me major Mr. Roger vibes, in the best possible way. The etheral yet jaunty music while you work, the smooth, gentle dialog. Pure serotonin bliss.
Oh my gosh these both came out so cute! Gus's mind... That tulip lamp is an another level and it's literally just a beautifully spray painted plastic bottle I cannot get over it! And the chopsticks were such an amazing idea, too! I need the polymer clay lamp asap, I need more ideas to steal lmao
When you first said you had poop in your house, I thought Kakashi got sick my doggo got a virus in 2023. SOrry bout your sewage debacle, same thing happened to friends of ours. Love the lamps just in time for Earth day showing how to upcycle what would normally go in the trash.
*plops (baby's first attempt at homemade) hummus into your hand* I was LITERALLY just thinking this morning that when I move in a couple months, I want to up my lighting game. And now I have no excuse not to just Do It mYself !!!
I feel like you might stan someone lovingly dorky like Bang Chan. I’m obsessed with lamps and scope out the thrift stores but I haven’t found anything amazing yet. During the pandemic I bought a mcm calla lily lamp on eBay that was so expensive but worth it.
I knew it! I knew it was SKZ! And yeah, I waited for u mentioning "red lights" while you were playing with your lamps/lights... but yeah, love your "new" lamps
The tulip lamp is stunning! Congrats for figuring it out! I'm glad your house is back to normal. Plumbing problems are the worst. I look forward to your Sunday uploads and cheer when they go up!
using the soda bottle was such a good idea!! when i was younger my grandma used to have us make plastic hanging fish out of 2 liters! you using that just unlocked a memory i forgot i had 😊
Is it Changbin?? I feel like I've seen some Instagram posts... you feeling the Binnie? Also, thank you for doing these lamps! My grandmom has had a Japanese- style cover on her hallway light my whole life, which she made herself. I've always been covetous and I'm thinking maybe I could do it!
I really want to make a cute witchy lamp but I'm so afraid of the heat if I would use plastic or some clay. But I love your ideas so much so thank you for sharing!! 🥰
Agree so hard on not wanting the look of five minute trash crafts. Always drove me nuts the way upcyclers and the eco chic crowd try to pass off rather untransformed garbage as a cute lamp or whatever.
I'm a 31yo who just got back into K-pop last year, Stray Kids being the ones to bring me back into the fold, but sadly, I still haven't figured out my bias yet because come on, they make it so hard, but I am loving every minute being back. Also, Love the Lamps and I can not wait to see any other fun ideas you have planned.
you pick the best (I assume royalty-free) music, it's so cozy 😭 it fits the vibe of your videos so well. in this video especially the songs were so otherworldly and comforting, like the way video game music can make you feel
I used to be an Art Mom for Elementary. We did flower art out of pop bottles. I shaped it with a heat gun and they painted. We auctioned them off at the annual Corks-n-Caps fundraiser. Mixed Media on large canvas…big hit. 🌈🌈🦋🦋
Love that you do multiple projects to make sure one goes through! Such a good idea! Also I already said on instagram, but I’m so glad your dirty water situation was fixed! I hate that it happened at all 😭 thanks for making fun videos for us.
I am always here for a vintage lighting anything. Recently I was hunting for a glass “spaghetti shade “ to go into a lamp base I had and got the idea to make one instead using this jelly bracelet lacing type stuff and resin and a balloon to shape it on. It worked out ok but I think a second go will be the trick. Lighting upcycles.. and upcycles and non clothing thrift flips in general, yes please!
I’ve seen a lot of people recreate the tulip lamps with flattened leaves made out of Arizona cans that were spray painted. I think if you ever try again that can be an option, it’s also safer with the heat of the light bulb than plastic:)
my face when you put your hand out for a snack and I actually put my spoon full of soup to the screen just for you to say “I don’t care if it’s soup, just plop it!” - i’ve never felt so SEEN!!!!
I stumbled upon one of your videos over the weekend (thank you, TH-cam algorithm), and I just love your vibe, energy, personality, and sense of humor! I particularly enjoy watching your thrifting and DIY videos. You are so creative, funny, and cool! I'm so glad I found your channel :)
I wanted more task lighting on my couch specifically (on, not just next to) and I few years ago I found a photo of a 1970s leather and brass “armchair lamp” by Luigi Caccia Dominioni that was €1500. I thought, there must be a way…so I made basically a big book weight out of felt, filled at each end with pennies, and clipped a study lamp to it. Drapes right over the back of the couch! Still so terrifyingly proud of myself.
If this isn’t the universe shaking the baby… I bought shadeless pendant lamps for my work space with the expectation that once I got them hung, I would create spatially appropriate shades. Ordered rice paper and everything. A month later, my pendants are still naked bulbs. Off to get some chopsticks. 👍👍
When I saw the dice lamps I gasped! The texture on the rice paper is gorg. I love gettin cozy with my tea on a Sunday when your vid drops and just settle in. When I hear the jaunty music that tickles my brain I let out the biggest, content sigh haha!
I enjoy getting to see your creative problem solving and persistence!! The lamps ended up so cute, and you gave that lamp and those chopsticks new life. Truly so inspiring.
Polymer clay lamp would be so cool (if/when you feel like it). Hope the stress levels even out. Love your content, thank you for sharing and creating with your brilliant mind/heart!!
😁 hello Ohio friends thanks for another awesome video and like I said, I think you are one of the funniest people I have ever seen in my life and witty and just downright fun… So thank you carry on!!!!!!
Omg, I have a lamp I wanted to donate, that has the perfect shape for this tulip lamp! I'll just have to figure out a different Material for the lampshade, since this one has a halogen bulb that gets really hot. Your lamps turned out super cute!
Tulips are my fave flower. About a year ago i thrifted a metal and glass tea light candle holder that is the shape of 3 tulips. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE RIGHT INSPO TO UPCYCLE MY FIND!! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍 i may just throw a pic of it into your IG DMs before i start. Its currently packed in a box somewhere coz i just moved. But daaaaamn now im excited.
lovely lamps!! I definitely want to see a polymer clay one.. that sounds so cute!! Also love the nugget of Gus lore (big brain power couple)... sometimes a new perspective really solves everything perfectly!!
ahhh I'm finally getting the chance to watch this video and dying that you mentioned me!! Bang Chan said Stays gotta stick together so that's what we're gonna do 🙌💞. also I've been a Hyunjin girly since day one but Felix wrecks me all the time. and we've talked on insta about who your bias is so I won't guess here and spoil it hehe 🤭. anyway, i love how your lamps came out!! i didn't expect to be so invested and entertained by this whole process but you really got me. and i totally related when you were like "actually, i don't like a challenge. things are already challenging enough." such a mood tbh 😂
Hey Kathleen just wanna say I love the energy of your channel and thanks for creating this inspiring little corner of the internet :) I vibe with it hardcore
I’m sorry about the sewage back up. It’s happened to me before. I loved the lamps you made. I think I might try making the dice one for my dining room. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Kathleen, wonderful diys. These are so my style. I feel like I might actually end up doing these! Amazing! Entertaining, helpful video as always. Glad everything is better with your plumbing! 😉
YES for the chopsticks tricks!! I keep using them for plants crafts and all (also because I keep forgetting to tell them not to give me some....a blessing for a curse I guess!)

kathleen i BEG of you - i would love to see a house tour of your place! it truly mystifies me each time i catch a new glimpse of it.
ME TOOO!! Every time I see a different part of the house I’m like what kinda cool house is she living in?!?!??!??
the closet cleaning video when she kept opening doors just confirms that her home defies physics
😈💕
I searched through her whole channel trying to see if there was one up already 😂
💯💯💯💯💯
Kathleen not filming the Elmer’s glue peel is the greatest betrayal of the century.
🫡 I have betrayed my own country
@@KathleenIllustrated Also peel off the sticker with the price tag on those lamps! Love this channel :D
"Actually, if I'm honest, I don't like a challenge." felt that
RELATABLE
12:56 Kashi’s face when you opened the door sent me into orbit
bahahahaha 🟤👅🟤
I always love how the music you choose makes your videos sound like a 70s public access TV show. ❤
That’s the exact vibe!!! Thank you 💕🌷
the incredible perseverance through The Stinky Sewagegate of 2024 is so powerful and brave (also these lamps are amazing)
I’m only two seconds into this video and I just know it’s about to make me make 6 lamps for my apartment

Love it!!! amazing idea. Thank you fellow crafty friend!
what do you use to piece them together?
I use them as strap turners for my sewing projects! Very handy sticks.
Fellow stay here! I think you bias either Changbin or Lee Know, or both who knows! I bias Chan, but love all the boys either way ❤❤
You give off a Changbin energy to me (in the best sense)! I feel my bias in the group changes depending on the day. xD They're a rare group where I just love them all.

"Oh! To sexy!" needs to be a tik tok sound 😂 love your crafting videos ❤ also when you asked for food my daughter offered you an apple slice 😊

I feel as though you gave the lamp from Brave Little Toaster a Halloween costume, and I'm totally here for it.
finding it that kathleen listens to stray kids made my week. shes the best :D

thank you kathleen for shedding a little bit of light on our day with the brand new upload :)

You are my Sunday evening comfort content creator! Thank you!
Aww enjoy!
Me stopping mid-bite to obediently "plop" my toasty Korean red bean & cream cheese ball directly into your hand @11:52
hahaha i gave her a chocolate rice cake 😂
🤤 feeed meeeee
And some ☕️ to wash it down from me!

Watching this with big light off and little light on ❤️
Also: what are the sun and moon if not just nature’s big light and little light?

in love with the tulip lamp. GUS IS SO SMART
YOU HEAR THAT, GUS??? 🗣️
@@KathleenIllustrated YOU BETTER TELL HIM
*plops (baby's first attempt at homemade) hummus into your hand* I was LITERALLY just thinking this morning that when I move in a couple months, I want to up my lighting game. And now I have no excuse not to just Do It mYself !!!
hehe thank you for the hummus!!!!!! Best of luck in ALL lighting endeavors
You have been the soundtrack to my whole day (while I tidy, hide from my children etc) and now THERES A NEW VIDEO. Thank you 🎉
yay!!!! Thank you!!!!!!! ✨🥹
It’s Felix, right? 48yo Stay here!!! And I started with Han, but now Lee Know may be my favorite sassy hambone.
Hehe not Felix!!! 😉 🐥
The lamps turned out super cute. However, I am definitely mentally peeling that price sticker remnant off of that one lamp base because Aaaaahhh! ;)
Please do peel it off because it’s giving me a hard time 🤣
First thing I do when I get thrifted items home!
00:24 wow not me repeating myself (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ
The tulip lamp is SO pleasing, you did a fantastic job
I feel like you might stan someone lovingly dorky like Bang Chan. I’m obsessed with lamps and scope out the thrift stores but I haven’t found anything amazing yet. During the pandemic I bought a mcm calla lily lamp on eBay that was so expensive but worth it.
Yes...more flower shades please!!!
Felix Felix Felix! And mine's Han! Hannieee!!! ❤❤❤ and you being a stay is the next best thing after you being an artsy fashionista! ❤
I knew it! I knew it was SKZ! And yeah, I waited for u mentioning "red lights" while you were playing with your lamps/lights... but yeah, love your "new" lamps
….. 👀 LOL
that patchwork dress with the little embroidered flowers on the sleeves is perfect 😭
The way you called that i was making soup. ✨magic✨
I could smell it 👁️ 👃🏽 👁️
Thanks the tulip lamp is a great idea for a mother's day present for my mom becuz tulips are her favorite. 👏🏽😍🌷⚘ Yay!

Yet another masterpiece created by my favorite crafty wizard🫶🎲🌷😎
hehe aw!!!!
I’m a huge Han stan! He’s def my ult bias, I could see you being a Felix bias! 🫶🏻
I really want to make a cute witchy lamp but I'm so afraid of the heat if I would use plastic or some clay. But I love your ideas so much so thank you for sharing!! 🥰
Ooo do it do it! Using an LED bulb should keep it pretty cool to the touch ✨💡 lmk how it goes!
@@KathleenIllustratedI will tackle my fears and try it! 😁

WELCOME FELLOW LAMPLOVER
every time u do a diy project i am absolutely stunned by the amazing results

I love that after you asked Kashi if he was synthesizing, the song you played was "photosynthesis" (yes I'm very excited that I recognized it)
Yes! I’d love to watch you create a polymer clay lamp!
Loving the Dice lampshades! They really look great with those Mid-Century lamps.
I think these turned out so incredibly cool. I will be waiting in anticipation for the clay lamps. The vision board was looking sooooo good 😌

My house also flooded last week... in the middle of me trying to install some vintage sconces i found. This truly matched the energy
Here for the DIY queen.
Although, I think every diy person needs a mini tv light and resin for quickly securing things 😂
