The cutest thing was the no sew pillow covers ❤

[danieldd]

Honestly I find cozy as being a small room with a bed near a window viewing a rainstorm over a city 🌃

I was taught always to melt wax in a double boiler, not over direct heat. The double boiler is safer.

Knitting uses knitting needles for a reason. The chunky yarn blanket should've been crochet so that it wouldn't come apart as soon as you lost one loop.

Sometimes I feel those Ideas are more expensive than buying them itself

[elliebellie]

I make the pillows in my children's craft classes and it doesn't matter if they don't last very long - the kids have a blast making them and showing them off.

The pet bed is genius! It was like a light bulb turned on watching you make that! Very cool. Luv'd the music, comfy vibes all around. I have an ever growing bin of sentimental clothing which I now have many ideas for aside from just a quilt... Thanks for the inspiration! Happy making!

This is the first video like this where A lot of the items were nice looking and not cheap and tacky. Great job!

The sweater bed for pets, pillow case and blankey are awesome

I love the no sew pillow covers, I have these huge pillows on my couch I can't find covers for. This will be great, thank you!

I like the throw blanket and since I have a seeing machine I could make it more permanent. The throw pillow is great. Nice binding and reversible.

ok but how do you wash and sanitize the first rug

[ewukah]

That chunky hand knit blanket would cost a ton!

Absolutely love the pet bed idea! Quick trip to the thrift store, and I can have it made in no time.

These are AWESOME! I'm so making that blanket!!!

Great idea but got bored drifted back to ikea, who has that much time?

While some of these crafts are slightly flawed, (the candle making one could be dangerous if heated in that manner) & most, if not all of these are posted elsewhere, they are cute, easy little crafts using items most of us have around the house. (With maybe the exception of the 8 skeins of yarn) With a few modifications, or maybe some slight lowering of expectations, you could make some cute things, with little effort, & others as a peaceful, easy way to pass the time. This next part I posted as a reply in this section, but it applies here so I copied & pasted.

As far as the mats & pet bed go, honestly, I replace small mats often anyways. They never last, & I’d rather recycle old material & have something to do with my hands while watching tv, or just sipping some tea on the porch. They make use of materials most already have, & probably are ready to toss or donate. While those mats may not be that sturdy, I’d keep a mat like those shown, in a place they would get less traffic, such as beside your bed, maybe in front of a chair in your living room, especially if you have hardwood or tile floors. They’d last awhile there. Now putting them at your front or back door, they’d be lucky to last a day...lol. And the pet bed shouldn’t get too dirty if used for a cat or small dog. (Unless they like to roll around in mud! lol ) Besides, a larger dog would not fit on them anyways. And you could use stuffing from an old pillow that’s falling apart. (I have a few of them around my house! lol) It’s a nice way to reuse materials you’d otherwise toss, but now they get a second life. And when you’re done, you COULD wash, either gently by hand & hang dry, or on the delicate cycle. (Hang dry again) You may need to re-sew the lines again & re-stuff, but still better than tossing out.
These aren’t bad ideas, but some could (& should!) be modified.

Honestly, I think its ridiculous how many comments there are tearing apart her video. Seems that she enjoys doing this, so maybe she made the video for those who also enjoy it? Its not always about Money and or Time. There are more aspects to everything in life that unfortunately people do not take into consideration....or they are just rude. Sorry, just being real. I enjoyed the video.

I like the cushion covers and the chunky knitted blanket ☺️

[meltingdoggo]

Smooth move assuming I have a home >:C
