Tip for bent Mylar stencils (I sometimes get them like that from AE). Lay in your kitchen sink, pour boiling water over it from the kettle. It won’t melt. Mylar is so strong. I do with ALL vend stencils. They won’t flatten between books as Mylar is so stiff. With the hot water on it, it flattens out naturally and ‘sticks’ to the flat surface of the sink. Lift out, leave on the draining board or pat dry & use!

I'm out growing my craft space too because all the stuff I'm ordering from Temu I know I'm not the only one that's addicted to Temu lol

I started shopping at AliExpress and noticed that some of the items were sold on the app and within the year America started selling the same products at way more than I paid for mine? Everything comes from China anyway so this country is marking it up!! I have also bought from Temu. Thank you ❤

Tip for paper making that I learned probably 25 plus years ago... take dryer lint of different colors, put it in a blender specifically used for crafts, not for food... add a little water to get a good mixture, blend. It will take a few times to get the hang of it. Take mixture out of blender, spread out on different sizes on plastic mats, let completely dry. There you go!!

First nice to see you back and you have a lot of different projects for one to do.
Your brother and the dog were great!👍🏻

Your paper-making kit reminded me of when the 1st grade classroom for gifted kids that I worked in made their own paper. It was very fun! I seem to recall we added chunky glitter or small sequins. That was about 25 years ago. 😮 In reference to the old book pages - I ordered these, too. I put a layer of clear watercolor ground by Daniel Smith on them with a brayer. (Clear gesso will also work). Then I watercolor on them - a few flowers, birds, or folk/abstract designs with black pen details. 🙂Not sure what I'm going to do with them, though. I just have fun painting them! 😅

I use quick shots from my heat gun to flatten my bent stuff. 😊

just a hopefully helpful tip to store your stencils; I am addicted to them, too, slip them into page protectors in a binder, makes them easy to flip through, see what you have, and find what you need! it's a good way to store the sticker sheets as well. maybe divided by subject or season

Would be helpful to include prices of the items you are show casing.

I love your brother! He has awesome hands 😂 and I hope we see more of him soon! As a huge Temu fan I really appreciated your video and I’ve subscribed!!

I remember the wooden alphabet block phase when all the craft stores had them. They didn't hang around because they're a pain to use and to keep lined up.

Sometimes the instruction manuals are on the actual site. There are links attached in the product description. Had to download a manual for hearing aids I purchased for my husband.

The 3 pack of stencils that look wonky might be a three layered mushroom. Ones the cap, then the stem and finally the spots on the cap. It really does look cool when theyre done!

Definitely swatch/label your watercolors wherever they come from. What they look like in the pan and what appears on paper may look like two different colors. Morandi was the name of an artist, Georgio Morandi - a fellow art student friend of mine in college was obsessed with his work. I have two gripes about Temu - their packaging and their carrier. I had several packages waylaid by delivery to the wrong house or not at all. Customer service was good but a bit trying. The way they jam everything into one bag is poor. Many items I wanted to give as gifts were in boxes, etc. that were quite smushed. That said, Temu does have an excellent variety of items at a good price. Just don't use their app which is tied to the Chinese government.

Did xou ever do the follow-up on the water colours? I didn't find it on your channel.

[Britgirl]

So - no paint comparisons, yet? Are there still plans to make one or not?

Do the trimmer blades fit in the Fiskars trimmer?
