This has to be one of my most favorite things on you tube ever made. Have been looking for a metal windmill. Didnt want to pay alot for it at hobby lobby! Now im making my own. Ty
Sweet Sherry! Yes you could make the sticks to go with it like in dyi! I want one for in the middle of my barnwood sign . It sats HOME. And i want the mill to replace the O in the sign! Great find!!
Heather Dewiliby I found this idea by accident when I was looking for something to cut a dowel. It didn’t splinter it like scissors or a box cutter. It cut it in a round shape perfect. Now I only had a small pair as I had a Fiest (we lost her in November, she was 14). I need to get a pair for a larger dog.
Just when I thought that your DIY’s couldn’t get more creative... you make a windmill. Well done Katelyn, you’ll easily hit 1 million subscribers by 2020 if you continue to bring us these gems! ❤️
Katelyn, what a clever design for the windmill. Love how you painted it also. This is definitely one of my favorite crafts. Also big thank you to your mom for coming up with this also. You're so lucky to have her and share your Love 💕 of crafting together ! Katelyn, you are such a lovely momma, and crafter !!!! 🤗❤️🤗
This is a very nice project. Thanks for sharing.........I think a disposable baking sheet could also be used for the fan blades. I’m going to try this. Thanks for the inspiration!
I might try cutting thin pieces of plywood for the blades and covering them with dollar tree disposable foil cookie sheets etc...and then spray them with at least 3 colors paint t create a rustic look....etc.
Kaitlyn omg I think this is by far my favorite DIY that you've done so far! And props to your mom for her creative thinking! It definitely looks like something you could get at Hobby Lobby or Pottery Barn... And I never would have guessed it was made from Dollar Tree products! I wish we could click the like button more than once lol
How stinkin' cute is this windmill! I love, love, love it. You are so creative. I love your channel, Katelyn. I have a granddaughter named Katelyn, but we call her Katie. God bless you and your family.
Boom!! Mind blown once again!! Girl you amaze me with what you come up with. I wouldn't have an empty spot on my walls, shelves, cabinets or floors IF I had just a lil fraction of creativity 😂😉. Once again, AWESOME JOB Katelyn and TYFS your awesomeness with us!! 😘😘
I love when creators put a good amount of thought and creativity into their DIYs to keep trying to come up with new fresh ideas! I always try to do this with my DIYS also. Thank you for sharing, it’s perfect! Have a wonderful day 😊🤗
I agree! When I came across this and realized it's something I can actually do, and it's not the same ole "plate on a candlestick holder" I was so excited!!! Thank you for showing me something new and different! Your instructions are amazing as well and you never lost my attention or wasted my time with a bunch of useless yacking and hand gestures. You are a great, get to the point gal! I can always rewind and rewatch if I need clarification! Thank you a million times!
Ingenious! I love how you DIYers see things in a different way than we of the "Eyes that see things as they are"..... again...INGENIOUS!!!!! Thank you for being you. : )
KATELYN When I think I’ve seen it ALL you prove me wrong!! This has got to be THE most creative DIY Ive seen for the Spring🥰 It’s inexpensive and easy to make! BIG THUMBS UP!!👍🏼
Wow! You and your Mom make a great team! Will definitely give this a try it is so unique. I walk past those placemats and skewers all the time at Dollar Tree and you have definitely done something with them I never would have imagined! It is so fun to watch your colors and brushstrokes bring things to life! Great job and thanks for sharing❤️
I love,love,love it..I have been looking at different windmill diy's and yours is the best one I've seen.And I don't have to have a huge wall space for it.Tfs.God bless
Well I just spent at least an hour reading everyone’s comments and the well deserved kudos to you and your mom for this amazing windmill design. I love the finished project and something many folks would be able to recreate. Wonderful. I also appreciate it is lightweight and not requiring lots of special tools to attach or display. I admire your creative talents and your EASY to understand project process steps. Wishing you much success. Thank you for sharing your time and talents. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan
Good afternoon beautiful lady and family 🤗🤗🤗. I absolutely love the windmill. I use soda pop caps for all sorts of things. The best is using them for lil legs on our cable boxes for lil legs. The cap's raise the boxes just enough to keep them cooler. I paint the cap's so they blend in with the boxes. Thank you for sharing honey. ❣❣❣❤❤❤
Aww Katelyn, this is the coolest thing! There's that magician in you at work, lol. When I first saw the picture I thought, "since when does DT sell windmills?" This is amazing! You are amazing! Excellent!
I made this finally!! I cut out the blades from a placemat then from the DT cookiesheet and glued them together and galvanized the cookie sheet ! I wish I could post a photo here, it’s the best thing I’ve ever made- thank you for the idea
Incredible job- it’s so stinkin adorable ♥️♥️ Will be making this today and trying to figure out how to make it spin because that’s the first thing my the children are going to try to do 🌷🧚🏻♀️🐞 thinking a small styrofoam center to the milk cap and a toothpick connecting it to the top of the stand I absolutely love it.
KraftsbyKatelyn Update: my idea totally did not work but I am still so pleased with how it turned out. I ended up using paint sticks from Lowe’s for the base and followed the rest of your steps, and I have to say, it looks like the real thing. Thank you again for sharing your incredible talent and this fabulous idea. ♥️♥️♥️
I absolutely LOVE this! I think to make it more of a “piece” on its own you could add a third dowel in the center angled outward, our you could make another front triangle of skewers and connect all four sides with the “cross cross” pieces, OR you could even mount in onto a DT canvas that you paint like “whitewashed” slays or that you wrap with a neutral remnant from hobby lobby or Joann’s! I’m DEFINITELY making this!
Katelyn... this is incredible! i am beyond impressed! I can see placing this in a potted planter...maybe a rectangular wooden one... I can't believe you made this with a placemat! WOW!
I don't care for farm house decor, I just enjoy watching your creativity, but this one is so cute!! I'm sure a lot of views will enjoy this one an hopefully try to duplicate it and add to it, great job Kate and to your mama bear. Jesus loves you:).
It’s like you read my mind!!! I have been dying to have one- have made several trips to Hobby Lobby in search of the perfect size and no luck.... til now!!! I know what I’m doing today while my little is in preschool! Thanks so much for doing this and teaching us! You are such a blessing!
Ohhhhh myyyyyy stars!!!!! I'm blown away!!!!!! You Amaze me with your talents. I am most definitely making one of those for my home and for my daughter as well. She will totally flip out. Thanks girl so much for sharing with us. If you can't tell I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! Great job Katelyn!!!!!
I love the look of those windmills, this is so cute, how clever of your mom to come up with the idea of using a placemat, It looks great with your other farmhouse items.
I love this idea. I am going to use it as an O in HOME! Thank you for sharing and kudos to your mom for helping you figure it out for the rest of us LOL
I absolutely adore this project, and I am working on it now. I just wanted to add that the apple barrel paint at Walmart in the color burnt umber is perfect for that rusted look. 😀 I look forward to all of your future projects, as you are my favorite crafter on RU-vid and I have copied many of your projects!
I have been watching you for over a year now. 1/08/2023 is today's date. I am realizing I have so many more videos yet to watch. I thought I was pretty well up to date. ❤ Love the windmill. I have got to say your southern accent is really noticeable in this video or the most recent ones.
I absolutely love it! Maybe you can get a plain box and paint it to look galvanized and insert the sticks inside, so it can stand upright! Thanks for sharing I loved it
OMG! That is absolutely genius. I’m so looking around the house for our placements. I have bought 2 windmills, this would be perfect to go with them. Thanks mom for helping. Katelyn you have beautiful crafting abilities .
I love this and I am definitely gonna make this. I think I will add 3 other sides to the base and make it 3 dimensional so that it will stand without falling over. I am also trying to think of a way to make the blade be able to turn by maybe using a pop tab of a can. Thank you so much. My mind is racing with the possibilities.
Totally agree with Shopper Girl’s comment how great this video is. This video should do great numbers in views. This is a Top 5 best diy RU-vid video of all time for me. I’ve also been looking into getting a miniature tabletop windmill for decor, noticed they are a little pricey, and have been waiting for a good sale. This is definitely become an option for me now. I did have a question, why not try to add a 3 long dowel to make a teepee like formation so it could free-stand on its own Instead of leaning it against something? Was there any reason for not trying that?
Haha, that's funny, because right after I made this my mom sent me pictures of a windmill she made that was freestanding with the three poles attach together! Looked cute, you can deff make it like that! 😍
Love this outta the box idea. You did an amazing job. I would have never guessed this was just a little bit of paint, hot glue and I am sure some time of yours. It looks so good!
I've been wanting mini wind mills for my new home. Im making DIY Farmhouse decor with my 2 daughters and definitely gonna try to make these next! Thank you for sharing your ideas & talent💜
Thanks so much! This is great! Definitely making this windmill. I have been collecting items to do a farmhouse tree next Christmas. I wanted a windmill tree topper. They seem to be very expensive though. Now I can make my own!
This is one of my most favorite DIY farmhouse projects on RU-vid 💞 I made one & I'm in love with it I used metal flowers & garden pail from dollartree instead of the placemats. I'm so in love on how it came out. Thank you for your inspiration 🤗
Katelyn, you did it again!!! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! This is one of the cutest things. We have a wood burning stove but I would not be able to put it on my mantel. I will have to have my hubby make me another floating shelf so I can make one of these. TFS!! xoxo
Katelyn you amazed me again😄when I saw this in the beginning I thought what in the world did she make this out of"? And I don't know where you came up with this idea but wow do I love it!! You are so creative🤗💖it!!!
That is an awesome diy. I want to add to you could use those larger skewers and make a tripod-or tent like bottom to make it stand up on its on. Great job!
This is adorable! I've been wanting a windmill for so long but haven't had the extra money to buy one. Now thanks to u and ur mom I can make one! Thanks so much!!❤
I just used your tutorial and made a large one and a small one for my new farmhouse themed kitchen and im in love with these!!! They are a bit more detailed to make than most just spray and go diys but i love thede little windmills!
Very pretty love it =) I'm going to have to try it =) my house is looking amazing with the stuff you have made I love the fact that it's not costing me alot to decor my house we had a house fire June 2017 and we lost everything and I didn't decor my house until I seen your videos and now my home is looking like a home again you inspired me to decorate again thank you
Absolutely I will be making this windmill you really did a great job of creating and designing this project. Hats off to you one amazing designer. God Bless
Wow!!! You out did yourself on this one!!! I just said a few days ago that I wanted a windmill and you read my mind.😉 I am very impressed!!! Thanks for sharing!!!❤
