For the skull texture you can also use mod podge and tissue/toilet paper instead of silver leaf. Just smush it around and get all the texture you want. Let it dry then use a pearl paint over it. Cheaper and easier.

[ExperimentsOfThought]

My first thought on the snake was that you’d buy a cheap toy snake and spraypaint maybe some wire. They are like $2

[nicoleadel]

I would have kept the snake separated from the glass, in order to clean it more easily in between candles. These are all soo cute!! Love it

[denisepaul]

I thought the sticky fingers was hilarious but the howling duo with Kenobi made me truly laugh out loud

[xingcat]

These are fantastic dupes. And the Kenobi was my favorite bit of the whole video.

[Clouderin]

I love that you factor in all of your cost, including things that you already have on hand, but I do think realistically those items last for many many different projects and people who DIY tend to make many projects, so I think you actually did way better than your "savings" were, all of these turned out so well and I'm definitely making the snake candle holder and the skull!

[debbieidi]

The Dani/Kanobe duet just made my day!!
💖🐾💖🐾💖

[lindykirk]

You are so creative and patient! I would have bought a rubber snake…sprayed painted and glued to glass…LOL Everything turned out great!

[phyllisstein]

That wreath is a WIN! You definitely nailed it.
edit: the snake vase is perfect. so good.
the skulls are phenomenal. you really knock it out of the park.

[denises]

Kenobi singing with you was the BEST! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

that pronunciation of buchanan at 12:26 killed me 😭i was an art attack kid so loved neil buchanan lol

[xchrysantha]

Me watching this in the dead of summer: LET THE SPOOPY VIBES COMMENCE. Also maybe if you plan on doing something similar to the skulls in the future, try buffing the pearlescent pigment into the surfaces to give that pearlescent sheen (a lot like nail pigments that are buffed into acrylic or gel nails!).

[janetboette]

Love the skulls! I pulled one from my stash gonna try using tissue paper and modpdge. Love me some irredesant shine, maybe even a bit o bling...cuz why not!

[rgully]

Rediscovering my love of crafting and generally mucking-about having recently started to remember what it is to be myself following 2 (wonderful) kids. I haven't chuckled, clapped with glee or felt a kindred spirit of curiosity in craftiness in a long time. Thank you for taking the time to brainstorm, craft, film and edit and everything else that goes with this.

[ceralith]

That juniper wreath has to smell AMAZING! I love the smell of fresh juniper. Even if it only lasts a year it was a good project to try!

[tcherkassky]

I think the benefit to DIY’ing the snake vase is that you can get whatever size vase you want.

[alinapetrea]

Danie we need a redo on the snake. with a ruber one. u can glue wire underneath to give it a stronger stand.

[annaderosbourg]

I love the wreath and want my own now! As for the snake, next time you try something similar, I would suggest using polymer clay. You can also stuff it with wire and aluminium foil, but you can bake it right with the glass. You can even mix an acrylic colour into the clay and then bake it, if you‘re concerned about what will show on the inside of the glass.

[Calicocat-icu]

You and pup pup gave me a much needed belly laugh today and although I liked you diys, The raven with the pearl necklace, in the last tablescape, really caught my eye. 😍

[iceangeld]

So much I loved all three of your projects but I have to admit the skull "flower vase" was a total winner! ...but so was the wreath...and the snake...lol
