I love that rachel is just experimenting and exploring modern materials in her videos. Can't wait to see her creations develop !!!

@TheSorryGirls 2 года назад

rach is one to watch for sure!🥰🥰

@nicazzzz 2 года назад

The coffee table design got much cooler after the adjustments 👌

@TheSorryGirls 2 года назад

@silarydoveface 2 года назад

I don't know if this was an intentional goal, but love that Rachel's always seeming to tackle working with interesting materials. She's also always making me laugh. :D

@sandrakicklighter2735 2 года назад

I LOVE how comprehensive Rachel was with this video, covering methods and tools and just answering all my questions before I realized I had them. WELL DONE! This is one of the best videos SG has made.

@duck1590 2 года назад

I love how neat you are with your diys, you're probably the most detail oriented of the group - and I love it. These works look so professional.

@zoellaswe6635 2 года назад

Love that Rachel is becoming more and more open and organic on the camera instead of so “step by step here’s what the videos about” she seems to be having a lot more fun and the confidence is shinning through !

I swear as soon as I think about wanting to do a particular DIY, The Sorry Girls are a step ahead of me and I’m soooooo grateful. These came out great! 💕

@darlouthia5153 2 года назад

This was really fascinating! Loved Rachel’s vibe and even how mistakes turned out to be brilliant!

@tabathaogost4982 2 года назад

This is great, I love educational/instructional content! I would have liked to see actual video of how you fixed the coffee table because problem solving is ...probably half of DIY work, so it would be good to see it go down in detail rather than just cut to finished piece. Great work!

@robsgirl7778 2 года назад

Oh my goodness!!! I'm so excited about this video! My husband is a truck driver, and a while ago, he made a delivery to an acrylic manufacturing company. They had huge crates outside of their scrap that they were throwing away, so he got permission to get some from it. He brought home several sizes and thicknesses of acrylic scraps for me to DIY, but I haven't had many ideas on what to do with them.

@JayofallTrades 2 года назад

Yay! A Rachel video. I love Rachel she has such a sweet smile. She brings such a fun perspective to the sorry girls and isn't afraid to try new things like cement mixing and now acrylic. A great addition to TSG team.

@elliekelley8758 2 года назад

Such a happy accident with the larger piece because I think it’s so much more useful and visually interesting!! Great idea Rachel can’t wait to copy🥰😊

@TheSorryGirls 2 года назад

@irishollestelle3819 2 года назад

I really like that you guys are showing it if projects don't work out as planned. It is much more relatable and I really liked how she fixed this.

@zoeemiko8149 2 года назад

I love crafting with scraps of acrylic! I don't like buying full sheets though and the only place that carries it is a big box home improvement store. However they don't sell the scraps! One of the guys at the store told me to go around to the back of the store to their dumpster. That's where it all goes. I've never dumpster dived but holy cow. Not only did I find really big pieces of acrylic but full boxes of tile, wood flooring, rolls of wallpaper, cans of paint, pavers, bricks, cinderblocks, molding - tons of molding broken in half. Apparently their scrap wood section had been to full so there was a ton of wood of all sorts there also. In the end we nearly filled the back of the truck. Oh, and an entire case of painters caulking, boxes of nails & screws and.. taadaa.. a new blade for my ridingmower! Yeah, I'm a happy camper.

@itscarolinemary 2 года назад

fully expected the lamp to fall off the table with how wobbly it was before!! all of these DIYS look sooo good.

@runsoffsarcasmcoffee8303 2 года назад

I gotta say, I was on the fence when Rachel joined TSG, but I just love her!!! I love how she has such a calming tone of voice in her videos, and she is so stinking creative! A+++ job on getting her on the team Becky & Kelsey!

@julianunes5406 2 года назад

I love Rachel style so much! She’s a great addition to TSG. Congrats on the amazing work!

@luordonez657 2 года назад

I made an acrylic photo frame in school when I was 13. Attached little acrylic heart and flower shapes to it too! So much fun.

@ernestomondragonromero3024 Год назад

Thank you! I will use it for my shoes, to organize them better on my closet shelves, one acrilic table for each pair of shoes 👟 👟 😊

@CARMENTHUNDERS 2 года назад

I love this. I have clear Ludwig drums and everything in my room is clear. Thanks for posting this.

@joshuaharrison_ 2 года назад

I feel like you could use a hole saw and jig saw and knock out some handles on the sides of the magazine holder to make it more functional but keep the beautiful aesthetic. Beautiful projects!

@alaskafiedler 2 года назад

You nailed everything in this video! It was well planned, presented and delivered, and styled. Clean and neat, techniques were easy to follow along with, and the DIYs themselves turned out so professionally but also were super achievable. Rachel and editors, you guys killed it!

@naomirae7455 2 года назад

I find bending acrylic so fascinating. I actually got to make a lamp shade out of bent translucent acrylic. It was for a class project and we had a jig that used an electric current I think to heat up a wire. The heat was more concentrated to one area so it didn’t take that long to heat up (1-2 mins).

@LarrietDarling 2 года назад

The coffee table came out amaaaaazing!!! I love it SO MUCH! Storing it away for future me in a future house. 🖤🖤🖤

@Murasaki_137 2 года назад

@Sunnbuzz 2 года назад

I really like her too, she's quite different from Becky and Kelseys style, and in the beginning, there were some harsh critics about her joining which was pretty ignorant. This was a great DIY video

@uhohspaghettios2391 2 года назад

This was SO COOL! I'm (supposedly) getting a heat gun for Christmas, and now I'm even more excited than I was for all the things I could make!

@AmPlant Год назад

this was so cool to watch! I've already made a clear shelf to put some of my legos on, but that was just by gluing together some already flat pieces and drilling some holes to mount it. It didn't occur to me that bent acrylic pieces could be DIYed! Thank you for showing us how

@HanCabann 2 года назад

@justinabean94 2 года назад

i feel like adding the extra bends to the table made it look WAYYY more high end. it looks like a more finished piece. you nailed it. how fun!

@mskitty666 Год назад

I loved working with acrilic in my school's metal working class We had a special thingo that you sat it on the softened a line for bending it , was fun and satisfying

@omxkik6987 2 года назад

I love how that things come out 😃. These days a saw a guy on tiktok doing a top with acrylic he used a mannequin and was molding with this heating tool, it looked like a fabric that is hit by the wind.

@katoudupuis Год назад

The way you saved that table so well

@naimahq8739 Год назад

She’s after your girls heart with THAT red wall shelf! 8 months ago I started a serious search for an acrylic coffin shaped wall shelf (to hang in the bathtub for shampoos and soaps) a little too eccentric, lol. I couldn’t even find a solid plexiglass box in neon colors. Lol

@sweetsoldier5 2 года назад

I wish I had all those tools! Acrylic organizers are so expensive in sweden and I have bought many during the last 15 years because I love them. They looks so clean and have great quality, but I always look through houndreds of products online before I decide what to buy. I wish I could make my own acrylic boxes because I have so many ideas of how I want it to look but I've never found anything similar to that so I buy other shapes that works but I want it to be perfect!

@Sunnbuzz 2 года назад

Ha do you do that with everything you buy ? I literally scroll through 100s, sometimes a thousand of an item searching, I just assumed it was my OCD always looking for the perfect thing for me which in reality doesn't always happen lol

@sweetsoldier5 2 года назад

@@Sunnbuzz yes always haha I spend days online looking for one thing , sometimes weeks go bye because I have gone through so many online shops and thousands of pages and my brain gets totally exhausted but I can't stop. I need to make sure I have seen everything I can find so I know what to buy. I don't have ocd, at least not as far as I know, but I'm a perfectionist, and I have anxietydisorder, panicattacks, depression, PTSD, ADD and burnout syndrome and it can have something to do with that.. I'm not sure but I also love interior so it's important for me to find the perfect things that matches everything but I'm the same with everything else I buy besides from food 😅

@Sunnbuzz 2 года назад

@@sweetsoldier5 Thanks for sharing I've never met anyone else that does things the way I do so it's so interesting and comforting. My friend has trouble deciding on things she has ADHD but she doesn't have the focus to prolong her decisions so its different. I think however we are more searching for the "perfect" thing that needs to be right or we are stressed. People always say to me when I need something, oh just go and buy it, it seems so simple for them and for most people it is I don't think I've ever just gone and bought something I needed because I never find it the 1st time, or the 10th lol . I need a new pair of summer shoes, I looked through 2,000 shoes on Ebay and couldn't find anything, now yesterday I broke mine so I think for easiness I'm just going to buy exactly the same pair I had (A high wedge suede shoe made by UGG some years ago) I laughed because as I was going through my very particular search parameters the pair of shoes I had that broke, the UGGS, popped up. Honestly, it can be tiring, defeating and frustrating purchasing stuff sometimes because if I need something in a hurry I'm lost. I know in reality no one else will notice the small difference that leads to a purchase or not - I have no idea why for me its such a big issue Take care
