Very cool and simple. I'm looking to build a "crate topper" for our dog crate. All of the other wooden serving trays were unnecessarily complex for the task at hand. Exactly what I was envisioning. Thank you for sharing.
Hold up- I actually love this!! Genuinely one of the best, easiest, most useful, cute DIYs I’ve ever seen. Now I wish they had other mop head colors lol It’s been over a year, has it held up? Not that it really matters since it’s so cheap to make lol New sub, I know you haven’t posted in a while but I hope to see more DIYs like this :)
Absolutely stunning! The tray was also great 👍 👌. ..Not enough sistahs in the woodworking side of DIY. Quite refreshing to see tbh..And Fine as wine too! Thts a plus lol 😆 😂
I'm making a serving tray out of poplar right now, and it's been a real pain in the butt. I wish I had seen this video first, because I definitely would have gone with plywood instead of gluing up 5 strips of wood and then having to sand all morning. I really like how you owned this project and made it work for you. Have those butt joints held up over the past two years? I'm always curious how long those last.
hi Sue from AUSTRALIA Well what can I say but wow wow l love them all and l will make them for my grand daughter also l just subscribed thank for sharing
This is a very nice tray! I was curious about the large size at the beginning but adding the square dowel divider really made a difference. Can't wait to try my own build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your question. I used Golden brand heavy body acrylic paint in titanium white and Liquitex brand in the color unbleached titanium white which is more of a cream color.
In lieu of Gesso, would white glue (or even modge podge) mixed with the paint work? I would never have thought to make paper mache from my shredded paper; I thought that was a brilliant idea!
Did you ever figure out what the basket looking thing was from the other video? I love how you shaped the cheese board. And I really like how you kept the natural wood look. It's so pretty!
I never figured it out. Lol. I heard it was a music instrument though. Makes me wonder. Thank you about the cheese board. I hate painting things so I knew I had to keep it natural.
@@HomeArtly That's so funny! I would have never guessed it was a musical instrument. I thought it was a some basket that someone forgot to leave an opening for to use it. Lol pretty cool find though!
I just realized this video was created several month's ago. I left my 1st comments anyway, even though you probably already did whatever you could with these items. I came here after watching the video you did for the serving tray, since I was looking for DIY videos for those. 🙂
Wow! There was a Dick Blick frame at the thrift store??? That's a steal! It would have cost nearly $30 for that size, normally. I loved all those paintings with old, beautiful frames in the store. The frames can be used for a lot of different things, and the paintings can be painted over (or used in some other way). We don't see many old pictures or frames here, but it's definitely a more affordable option for crafting and painting if you're lucky enough to get them. 🙂 You could actually do a painting, get a wooden box that fits the dimensions of the frame; get some hinges and screws then attach the frame to the box like a door. Instant unique storage box, or instant 2D object turned 3D. 🙂 If the frame fit the crate, I was going to suggest you hinge those together. Or, attach them in some other manner. But, I didn't think it looked like the crate was the same diameter as the frame. Another thing you can do with the frame is get 4 others the same size, paint them all to match (after removing the glass); put the glass back; attach four frames to the sides of each other forming a square then attach the 5th one to the bottom; add lighting of some sort; and instant lantern. It will be huge, obviously, but it's still an idea. For lanterns made from frames, you can paint one or more of the glass panels to customize them; and having the light shine through would add to the effect. You can use modge podge and a paper napkin to decoupage a picture to the glass. You can attach wire to one or more of the frames in a criss cross manner. You can, and probably should, add a handle at the top for hanging/carrying. The possibilities are endless. Having a fine arts degree is a wonderful background to create customized home decor for not only yourself but others as well. I bet people would love a customized lantern, or jar, with a painting of their pets on them, for just one example. 🙂
I love the simplicity of this: no nails or hammering...just gluing pieces together and staining. Beautiful! A "free" alternative to buying stain for people, like me, who rarely stain things, is soaking a stainless steel dish scrubber in water for a couple of days then use the tinted water as a "stain".
@@HomeArtly I know, right? I learned it from the do-it-on-a-dime lady. I subscribed to your channel after seeing your thumbnails for cute Christmas and home decor items.
And thank you for subscribing! Yes, I love her diys, hauls and hacks. She’s so good at it. Id love to be able to do this full time...it changed the game so much.
