farmhouse

DIY projects we've done; There will probably be a part 2 next weekend, so if you're ready to start

craft

ing, let's get started. If you want to see how I made this lantern with 4 Dollar Tree photo frames, keep watching.

You will need to start with 4 5 by 7 picture frames. I got mine front from Dollar Tree and they worked great. There are no sticks to stir. I ended up using skewers because I didn't have anything else, but I suggest the wooden stir sticks because they're flat and you'll see why you'd paint an eight-by-three-inch hot glue gun with chalk. for 1 inch blocks of wood and you can go to Home Depot for super cheap and they will cut them to the size you need: one block that is six inches by five and a half by one inch and another that is five and a half by four inches by A one inch block you will also need a two inch copper fitting which I bought mine at my local hardware store for 25 cents and they will cut it for you too and a small piece of thick rope which you can get at Home Depot or Lowe's or whatever . and they will cut it for you too, well we'll start by taking the glass out of the picture frames and we'll paint them with chalk paint and then while they're drying we'll paint the wooden sticks.

In my case I use the skewer sticks and I just took a napkin because I find it easier than a paintbrush and I just rubbed the skewer stick up and down and then while they dry you paint the four wood black and it's not necessary. paint the bottom because they will just be glued or they will just be on the bottom of the lantern. I actually came up with this idea online from a picture I saw on the hgtv website a while ago and I'm going to give it a try. Link that in the description box so you can see step by step instructions.

After everything is dry, you're going to grab the frames again, turn them upside down, grab the wooden sticks and we'll glue them together to look like window panes. I think that's what they're called, and then as soon as you get them stuck, you're going to grab the glass, run a bead of hot glue around the edges of the frame, and attach the glass. I left the little tabs on the back of the frame just for extra hold of the glass because I didn't want it to just be the hot glue holding it in, but you can do it either way after you have all the glass back you're going to glue the edges Frame them together to make a box or a square or lantern shape.

I made it and then realized I did it wrong, which is why you see some paint missing on the edges, so I'm redoing it so it's even on all sides. then you are going to glue the entire piece, the sides of the lantern to the base, which is the block of wood that measures twenty centimeters by seven and a quarter, you are going to glue it on top and then you are going to take the other three. Glue the remaining blocks from largest to smallest and then you will take the copper accessory and the rope. We didn't do this on camera because I forgot to turn it on, but you just put the rope through the copper fitting and we put a little bit of hot glue in there so it holds because it's going to be kind of a handle, then you just glue the rope and the copper fitting together. on top of the smaller black one and you're done.

You can fill the flashlight with whatever you want. I chose to use succulents and I think it's super pretty and really farmhouse and feminine with the copper fixture. I just like that little touch, so with these giant playlists you'll see that I actually took the original videos and combined them all together so you see different backgrounds and different music and lighting, so I apologize if there are some that are loud with music or quiet or whatever, but I thought it would be super fun to have all these farmhouse DIYs that you guys seem to really like to be all together in one place.

For the first one, we're going to start with two of the eight for ten

dollar

tree

frames and we're going to take out the inside, including the glass, and I'm not. I don't have black frames at the Dollar Tree I was at so I just bought the gold ones and thought I'd use some chalkboard paint to paint over them and it took two coats and some of the gold was still showing but I was fine with that because I didn't want it to be perfect so on one of the frames you're going to want to remove those little tabs that hold the glass on and for this I used a good amount of e6000 glue just because I was going to put the glass back on because we're going to need it for more late and then I used a little bit of hot glue too and then I put another layer on top but be careful with how much glue you put on. put it in because you don't want it to get squashed beyond the frame because you don't want to see it from above and then we're going to add the second sheet of glass on top so it's a little bit a little bit stronger and this rope, this nautical rope, it's also from the Dollar Tree and I had I had an idea of ​​what I wanted it to look like, so I started gluing it, but as I was doing it I noticed that the sides of the rope where I was winding were going to be a lot thicker than the middle, so I didn't think it was going to work, so So I took it apart and then I started over and I started wrapping it around the edges in kind of a square, because the top of this tray that we're going to add, the one with the glass, is a little bit above the rope, there will be a space so you can add things like little pieces of greenery or shells or maybe even a picture or a Seine or something that would be really cute if you could do that, but I'll leave mine plain and then glue the second frame on top with a good amount of e6000 and hot glue now that my father had already given me these handles. -poor, but you could probably get some at your local hardware store or Home Depot if you have a Habitat for Humanity nearby.

I know they usually have a full container and they're older, like an older style like these and this tray. I wasn't necessarily going to have to carry the handles, so I just used glue and attached them and I really love how it turned out. I like that the frame has a rustic II look and is black and like I said, some gold. shows which I think goes with the look I was going for, but I really like how the rope looks under the glass. I think it's great so for the second pan I just bought two pizza pans from the Dollar Tree and I'll take them and turn one upside down and then we'll put a bunch like a good amount of e6000 glue on top of that one and we'll turn the other one on top and then you'll want to press Okay and I had placed some very heavy things on top of it for quite a while.

I think it says it needs 24 hours to dry and I forgot to film the part where I took some wax paper and put it inside the circular pizza pan. and I traced around the inside edge because we're going to need that for the faux wood pieces and this is actually just a vinyl plank floor underneath, just two strips, which is actually really cheap, you can get it at Lowe's or whatever. either and it's already sticky on the bottom or you can go ahead and just use what's called contact paper that you can get at Dollar Tree or any of your

craft

stores that look like wood or whatever texture you want on the bottom of your tray. .

So my husband is helping me because I hate using exact fingers and he's taking the outline that I traced under the wax paper and cutting down to the vinyl plank floor and then we're going to test it out here and make sure it fits pretty well and it doesn't It needs to be perfect because I'm going to put a border of thread around the edge and then I thought it would look great with a big thick nautical rope around it so I'm trying that out too. so I know where to cut it and these are another couple of mangoes that my father in law had and I'm not sure why they are green but I'm going to leave them green for now just to see if I like them. if not, I'll probably paint with white chalk paint and again my husband is helping me here and like the other tray, if you don't mind carrying it by the handles, you can go ahead and glue them on. the e6000 and hot glue just for looks or if you want to carry it with you you'll want to drill them like this and you could probably use screws but my husband will drill holes and then we'll use I don't know if it's a riveter or something but we're going to use the rivets to hold it on, so I borrowed this hot glue gun from my husband's work and I didn't realize it was a lot hotter than mine and I actually blistered my finger right here so I was a little scared after that the glue gun, so my husband was helping me here by holding the rope while I glued it and then after hot gluing it, I just flipped it over.

For more staying power, I added a little bit of the e6000 type into the crevices of the rope and the pizza pan and just to cover any uneven edges we might have had when cutting the vinyl plank floor, I'm just going to take a little bit. of this twine and glued it on as a little border, so I'm really happy with how it turned out because just taking some strange elements and putting them together, I guess to make a tray, I think it's really cute and I love how this final plank floor on It actually looks like wood, the rope just gives it a little bit of a nautical farmhouse feel, I guess, and these floor pieces, which I think are amazing, are actually waterproof, so you can set them up as water glasses or whatever you like. here and don't worry if they spill.

You're new here I hope you liked what you saw and please subscribe and I'd love for you to say hi in the comments section and to anyone who keeps coming back to watch my videos, I want to thank you so much if you're interested. Seeing how I made them keep looking so we're going to start with the Blessed sign and the actual Blessed sign is a placemat that's from the Dollar Tree and also the frame that I got from the Dollar Tree so we're just going to take out the glass and then we'll distress the frame and I'm just going to use chalk paint mixed with a little bit of brown acrylic paint, we'll do the white first and then we'll go in. and I added a little bit of brown just to make it look a little worn.

Then I did it with the placemat, took the insert that came inside the frame and measured it, you know, like centered it in the location where I wanted it. that's how it went and then I just traced it and then trimmed it to fit the frame and came back with a little bit more brown paint just to add a little bit more of an antique or farmhouse feel to it, so I think that's what the sign turned out to be. super cute, it looks like a really farm fish and it was super

easy

to make and it only cost two bucks for the framing and putting up and then I already had the chalk paint so I think it was super cute, super

easy

and really affordable.

What I need is a pallet and my husband and I just cut the pallet to the size I wanted and you can usually get pallets at grocery stores or hardware stores, you just need to ask them and they will usually give them to you. free, so for this, after narrowing down the palette, I simply took some white chalk paint and gave it a good coat. I didn't want it to be completely white. I wanted it to have a worn look, so I did that. there was a little bit of light after the chalk paint dried. I just took the galvanized bucket I bought from the Dollar Tree and pounded in a nail just to start making a hole in the bucket so the screw wouldn't slide when I tried. to drill it out and then we just drilled a screw into the hub and into the paddle and I centered it so I could change it, you know, to be taller if I wanted it to be taller if I wanted to use it. you know, taller flowers or I could turn it to be shorter depending on you know which shelf or I wanted to put it on or whatever so I left a little bit of wiggle room with the screw hope you like these projects.

As much as I did, they were super simple and inexpensive and I think they look really cute and you can put them on a shelf or counter or hang them, you can put a little hanger on the back of the pallet and you could hang it on a wall if you wanted and If you're new here and it's your first time here, I'd love for you to consider subscribing and joining my YouTube family, we have a lot of fun here on this channel so if you subscribe don't forget to hit the bell that way you'll get notifications about any video or anything you post so we'll start with this basket first and I've been watching you guys.

I have seen them. online and on Pinterest and things that have like stripes on the bottom so we're going to start by taping this basket up and I bought this at goodwill quite a while ago and I think it was only $0.99 so I'm not feeling evil. I'm trying to change it up a little bit to match the

decor

in our house, so I'm just going to mask out where I'm going to put the stain right now. I'm alonetaking some chalk paint and water that I mixed because I don't want it solidwhite I just want to give it a whitewashed look and I'm going to go between where I taped and then after that strip you can remove the tape and where the tape was if you want to add a little more color o You could leave it like this, this is also very pretty.

You can add dye where you had the tape and that's what I'm going to do. If you wait until it's dry, you can go ahead and tape it where you would paint it. white but I'm going to do it freehand and hope I don't make a big mess. I'm just using an old sock because I find I have better control with the stain instead of using a brush and I also use gloves or are you? I'm going to have stained fingers for days and I ended up adding another stripe of dark dye on top of that white after seeing it. with a plant and I guess I thought I needed a little bit more, but right now.

I'm taking a little bit of this rose gold acrylic paint just to give it a little bit of shine, I guess like a glitter and rose gold look on top of the stain, it's not really dramatic or anything, it's just a little bit of a subtle shimmer and then go on. On to the next project and it will be these books. I bought these books at our local bookstore, it's one of those used bookstores where you take books and get credit for it and stuff, but she had a

dollar

day, so I bought these books for like a dollar, so no I minded changing them too, so I'm taking some chalk paint and giving it a good coat, not completely like any farmhouse stuff I do.

I don't want a solid look I just want it to be used in rustic style with the same look as this book. I bought this at the same bookstore as I said. I'm not going to quote it in full. I want it to look used and I'm going to set it up. Those until they dry and then I'm going to use this old newspaper that I bought. My husband and son actually went with me to a couple of garage sales one day and I found these really old newspapers, so I thought it would be fun to just get some of those, but he gave them to me for free, so I thought I could find some interesting scenes or whatever there and that's what it is.

I'm just cutting the same thing into two pieces and I'm going to Mod Podge the binding of the book, but first I'm going to spray it with a little bit of water, which was an awesome tip from you guys from some of the Mod Podge projects that I've done in the past and I'm I'm also going to scrape the edges a little bit to make it look worn and the water helps to do that too so it just peels off and then I'm going to add a little bit of Mod Podge to the book and Mod Podge to the book. back of the newspaper clipping and once it dries you will not be able to see the writing from the back of the clipping and on to the next one.

I'm going to do the same thing I did on the last one and Like I said, you won't see that writing on the back once it dries and then for the next project we're just going to take this little wire rack from the Dollar Tree and I'm going to spray paint it in black. I originally wanted it matte black but I couldn't find my spray paint so we're going to use this lacquer and then while it dries it was like the simplest DIY ever but I wanted it black so I thought I'd show you. and this clipping is also from the same newspaper and my husband and son really like old cars, so I thought this went really well with our

decor

and I'm going to use the same technique I used with the other newspaper clippings. and I just rubbed the edges a little bit and tried to use a paper towel to do it, but it didn't work as well, so I ended up using my fingernail and started peeling off, you know, little pieces here and there.

I just wanted a more warned edge look that just you know, right in front of cutting it and after that I'll take a little bit more Mod Podge and put it in the jar. It's actually a growler and I liked that it was a dark one, I thought that just gave it an antique look and then I'll put some Mod Podge on the back of the newspaper clipping and spray the back with water like you guys had told me last time and It works much better because you can slide it in and put it in place before it decides to stick and then just rub it to make sure there are no bubbles or anything there and I ended up deciding to put Mod Podge on the outside.

So I was able to keep the image and I think it actually looks really good. I ended up putting it on our little bar in the you area and here it is all finished with the books and the little tray that I spray painted. I think they look very cute. At the farm, my husband really liked the jar and that's how I'm going to have it in our sunroom. I'm going to use that little tray, probably for the remote control. Here's the basket, one way you can use it in the bathroom for this a toilet paper or you can use it like this in our entryway for a plant this is all you're going to need for this overlapping house sign you're going to need these pieces of wood from Home Depot or Lowe's wherever you are get your wood, they were ninety-six cents each and they were six feet long and you can cut them at Home Depot, so you'll need a frame.

I bought this frame from Goodwill and was originally going to paint the frame, but you'll see I didn't make an outdoor mat from Dollar Tree. I grabbed this welcome sign but then I fell in love with this house sign and that's what we're going to use for the sign so that's all I'm doing. here is taking out the staples on the back that will hold the image because unfortunately we are going to paint over the ducks, so I apologize if anyone likes the original image, but I need it for the sign that they are cute ducks or swans, but they're just not my style so you just have to use the original piece that was in the frame for the size and then you're just going to measure, you can overlap them completely or I took a couple of pieces. and I cut them smaller so they would have a tiered look, but I didn't do them all and my handy husband was very sweet and cut these pieces for me.

You can also use a hand saw, but this was easier. and now I just took some chalk paint or you can use acrylic paint. It doesn't really matter just to cover the image because some of the overlap may not line up perfectly, there may be a little gap, so just don't do it. If you don't want the background image to show, then you'll want to line up the pieces you cut just to make sure they're the same size because I had some issues when I tried to place the frame on the board. It didn't quite fit so I had to adjust the sizes on a couple of them and here's a little bit more paint that we're going to paint on the boards and I like looking back.

I like the look of raw wood so we could make another sign like this just for fun and leave the wood the natural color because I don't know if I like it. The next thing we're going to take is the carpet from the Dollar Tree and start cutting it and it's really simple because it's very flimsy so it's not like you need super heavy duty scissors. I'm sure you could probably use an exact knife on this as well and to get into the little places where they are on the e and the curly part. From the H I simply folded the fabric and cut it as we were taught when we were in primary school.

This part you can use any color you want. I chose to use black acrylic paint and didn't really have a perfect way to apply it. I just took a brush and I was sliding it around like you would with a normal brush. Sometimes I was rubbing it, but I'll warn you that when you're rubbing it, it had some spots where it looked a little bit more like solid black than the rest because it got in between the lines because you know it's the floor mat so it has those lines. and it might be easier to just spray paint it, so then you go to the next step.

To want to glue the pieces to the back of the frame, I used some wood glue and hot glue. The hot glue is more to hold it in place at that point and then the wood glue, which you know, would dry and hold it in place. and make sure the edges of the wood line up almost perfectly, if not perfectly, with the edges of the frame insert to make it easier to fit into the wood part of the frame. So I have a question for you, I never know about how to do these DIYs. Let's say, for example, with these pieces of wood, do you want me to make them?

Do you want to see me doing everything by gluing each piece? Or would you rather I cut to the chase and show a couple of them and then move on to the next step. because I want it to be useful and show you how I did it, but I don't want it to be annoying to the point that okay, come on, move on, then you just want to place the word however you want. You want it on the overlap, make sure it's exactly how you want it because you're just going to mark some of the edges so that when you bring the word in after you spray it with the adhesive spray like you could use. hot glue on this but we use adhesive spray anyway and with that you spray it and put it on almost right away because you don't want it to dry so that's why I'm marking all these points so we can do it quickly and My husband helped me on this one too so we could move faster and here it's all finished, so I got the idea for this sign when I saw it in Kirkland, it wasn't made out of a mat or anything, but I just thought.

This could be an easy way to make a shiplap sign, so let me know what you guys think today's DIY will be, how I made this barn door from scratch, so all you'll need for this is just some scraps of wood . here are the measurements and some wood glue and clamps to hold them together and a piece of sandpaper and the only reason I wanted to sand the edges of this is because I wanted it to have a little bit of a beveled edge when I glued them together. I didn't want them to look like a solid piece of wood.

I'll show you what I mean in a minute, but I also rounded the edges of the corners, so here I'm just showing you the difference between the sandings. edges that give it a beveled look compared to not sanding it and it looks like just a solid sheet of wood and I thought I would show you how to make this barn door from scratch because a couple of videos ago that I made it I showed it to you. a technique on how to paint a barn door, paint a farmhouse style and the barn door I got was from Michaels and when the video went up they were already sold out so I wanted to give people the opportunity to have a barn door, so I wanted to make my own and here are the measurements of the smaller pieces that go on top of the larger pieces and that creates the zigzag, so for the zigzag on the top you will just take the smallest piece of wood small one that's two inches wide, line it up with the top and bottom edge of the door, draw a line that way you'll know where to place the smaller pieces of wood on top of the larger piece because you're just going to glue and fasten them. so you want to know where to put them once you've applied the glue and I'm just taking a little bit of wood glue and smearing it on with my finger because I don't want a lot of it coming out and I'm just going to glue them and then clamp them and I didn't have a big enough clamp. to traverse all four boards, that's why I do it this way.

I'm just gluing them together to make sure they're all lined up and then I put the zigzag on top with more wood glue and then I'm going to clamp them which in turn will hold the larger pieces together and this is what mine looks like just a bunch of clamps and I thought it would be fun. To show you the behind the scenes picture of all the clamps we were trying to use because they didn't all fit, they didn't have a big enough mouth, so this is the angled piece that's a little weird, my husband cut this out.

So that I can figure this out, you could take the piece before you cut it and place it on top of the two that you already glued and draw a line to get the correct angle and then cut it and I'll give you the measurements. that we used at the beginning and this is what it was saying. I didn't want the glue to squish, which obviously happened and I didn't realize, but it's very difficult to dye. You can go ahead and try sanding it. once it dries that's it, it becomes very very hard, but you can't dye over the glue, it won't look good, so try to wipe off the excess glue once you stick it, you can do it with a damp rag and then.

I'm going to do the same thing with this little zigzag piece, I'm just going to glue it and clamp it and this is the handle. I already had a handle on hand. It's very old so it's a little crooked but I didn't care, it's a barn door, it's supposed to look rustic so I went ahead and attached the handle and I'll put this screwdriver in the description box if you want one, They are very useful with this type of projects in all the ones I had. with silver screws, so I'm just going to take a marker and color them in so they blend in with the handle and here it's all done.

I'm not going to show how I stained it or painted it or anything because I will. link the video that I showed above, I'll link it above, but I think it turned out beautiful, it's not perfect, but here it is next to the barn door that I bought from Michaels and that's the one I did the distressing on and painted. Like I said I'll link that video above okay guys we're wrapping up the end of this first playlist so for anyonemay it still be here with me, let me know in the comments below which one was your favorite.

I also hope you found some
