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

@TheSorryGirls Год назад

rach is one to watch for sure!🥰🥰

@rachaeldiviney712 Год назад

Actually the final coffee table is even better, much more dynamic. I love when obstacles become opportunities

@nicazzzz Год назад

The coffee table design got much cooler after the adjustments 👌

@TheSorryGirls Год назад

I totally agree😃

@silarydoveface Год назад

seriously I think it got so much cooler with the leg extensions underneath!

@audreym3908 Год назад

and much more practical for storage!

@EyeGlassTrainofMind Год 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 Год 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.

@zoellaswe6635 Год 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 !

@duck1590 Год 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.

@LukMcKain Год назад

The score n’ snap! Works every time! 💅🏼

@TheSorryGirls Год назад

good one! 😄💅

@KelKelray25 Год назад

That’s what I thought the whole rest of the video 😂😂

@dawsonl7647 Год назад

Was looking for this comment!

@jordancathleen Год назад

LOL

@cheerfulbutterflies1025 Год назад

I love Rachel and her contribution to the Sorry Girls team…She is so informative and I love how she shows other shows..very cool!

@robsgirl7778 Год 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.

@jordancathleen Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@tabathaogost4982 Год 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!

@Skirts96 Год назад

Rachel is the perfect addition to the Sorry Girls 💗 and I always love the videos she makes

@TheSorryGirls Год назад

❤❤❤

@zoeemiko8149 Год 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.

@JayofallTrades Год 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.

@chezsylvie007 Год назад

Love those boots with the pretty femme dress

@alexisnicole8118 Год назад

Rachel is a risk taker and I LOVE that!! The table looks amazing 👏🏽 😍

@luordonez657 Год назад

I love the addition of Rachel as a Sorry Girl. She’s super fresh and beautiful, we need more Rachel in our lives!!

@itscarolinemary Год назад

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

@sakshi.chaudhary Год назад

Wow I’m amazed by how much weight that little pink shelf can hold🤯

@elliekelley8758 Год 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🥰😊

@lilred312benett6 Год назад

I am so here for this! I like these training style videos.

@TheSorryGirls Год назад

glad you like them!! we try to be as informative as we can😊

@irishollestelle3819 Год 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.

@julianunes5406 Год назад

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

@katoudupuis Год назад

The way you saved that table so well

@emergencytrip Год назад

RACHEL!!! You’ve been killing it lately. Hope u get a raise!

@HanCabann Год назад

She’s like the DIY teacher we’ve always wanted! X

@runsoffsarcasmcoffee8303 Год 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!

@alaskafiedler Год 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!

@CARMENTHUNDERS Год назад

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

@eiramellocin Год назад

the final coffee table 😱😍

@universeamor5332 Год назад

I love Rachel! 💖 just a cool project!

@MrsPampa Год назад

Every single time all your projects come out amazingly beautiful!!!

@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 👟 👟 😊

@emigem13 Год 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.

@chalybion Год назад

THIS. WAS. SO. IMPRESSIVE!!!!

@nancytrujillo7349 Год назад

I love how this vid takes us to the basics with no fancy tools that almost nobody owns

@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

@LarrietDarling Год назад

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

@indyaprince Год назад

I’ve literally been searching everywhere for a video like this omg I’m so glad I found this thank ffff for the clock app

@Allisonstatman Год назад

❤❤❤❤❤ thank you . Glad I found this channel. Acrylic is so dreamy . Def going to to do list this material. I loved ‘Lucite’ in the 90s

@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

@witchplease677 Год назад

Rachel is amazing part of TSG. She’s so creative and there is no hesitation in admitting if something doesn’t work and finding ways to overcome and adapt

@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

@joshuaharrison_ Год 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!

@omxkik6987 Год назад

Love the table 😍

@trishdadish21 Год назад

This was inspirational. Thank you for sharing your projects. I want to try and make a cat window bed out of acrylic and this gave me some confidence to try it. 😊

@znycelondon5313 Год назад

Love, love these pieces. I want to re vamp my office…..I want acrylic storage and stacks shelves……so this is going to be a fun project. Great ideas here…..of what and how to do it…..and……what not 😏🤔😏to do to get some good results!

@jazzmynalexis14 Год назад

Omg you should totally try DIYing a disco ball!!! Love you guys❤️

@cjay182 Год назад

can I just say... how much I love the explanation of tools lately! So helpful!

@uhohspaghettios2391 Год 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!

@prbeachchick01 Год назад

Ugh now I want acrylic furniture!

@janetd4862 Год назад

Love everything, but think you should wear a mask when you cut the acrylic. Safety first!

@tanrdz Год назад

I loved everything and I want it all.

@Murasaki_137 Год назад

I always look forward to Rachael's videos! She is so charming and overall a great addition to the team! ♥

@Sunnbuzz Год 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

@dreamelatte Год назад

Very cool, changed my mind about acrylic furniture!

@carmengrauwels Год назад

Very cool! I added it to my "best diy" playlist ✌🏻🌺

@nellachavez7298 Год назад

Rachel with the sick manicures

@naomirae7455 Год 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).

@whatlolawants2167 Год назад

I think the acrylic is so cool. I never knew that it was so easy to get and to work with.Thanks again TSG

@justinabean94 Год 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!

@ceciliaborglin7828 5 месяцев назад

super interesting to watch. So much you can do with acrylic, cool!

@omxkik6987 Год 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.

@Seiferboi Год назад

Gotta say, I LOVE the neon acrylic, especially that neon green one towards the beginning, since that's my signature color!

@laurasamardzic3979 Год назад

I absolutely love Rachel, you are so sweet, beautiful and talented!!!💛 All of the pieces are sooooo cool and inspiring 💫

@MzKinkyCurl Год назад

I would love to make a picnic table with acrylic! I don’t know how sturdy it would be, but I think of it having the ‘floating’ plate vibe! I love the round wavy piece you didn’t buy!

@starhill6792 Год назад

Y’all always make everything look so easy! Also I agree with all of the other comments, Rachel is an amazing addition!

@karolinacontreras5528 Год назад

Wow great save on the coffee table! Better than the intended design I think!

@partlyironic Год назад

It’s not that many videos in but Rachel already feels like an integral part of The Sorry Girls channel.

@chloedawson3571 Год назад

For some reason I think it's so endearing that you marked it with the cute tiny markers 😂 Very relatable to my chaotic apartment DIYing

@aiangalang8452 Год назад

Omg these projects are so cool! Gonna run and find some acrylic sheets and try these out! Thank you for sharing ms Rachael!🫶🏻

@SarahElizTurnbull Год назад

Am I the only one who thinks the neon sign now looks like an egg? 🍳 It's so cool!

@Cccc123c33 Год назад

Perfect timing, I was looking in to it for few weeks now since I wanted to make a little shelf for my kitchen 😅 and it was inspired by the same channel 😄

@priyanshijhaveri5316 Год назад

Omg this is pure joy! TSG rocks ❤️❤️

@nothingness7580 Год назад

U really good at furnitures!

@creativhopper6465 Год назад

It is so nice to see your approach on acrylics. I would have made spice rack.

@jollygood8828 Год назад

Loved that you explained the process so clearly, for example describing types of blades to use.

@ilisilva88 Год назад

YES! ive been needing some tips on acrylic!

@vickinoeske1154 Год назад

Love this!!! Albums would look awesome in the magazine rack.

@ShiaMajer Год назад

When I see Rachel I click right in, Every, Single, Time.

@spyduhgirl Год назад

You could build a "wall" for the magazine table. Hot glue a sheet of acrylic to one of the sides to stabilise it?

@dominiqueburns9918 Год назад

I’ve been wanting to try this! Nice job!

@sweetsoldier5 Год 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 Год 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 Год 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 Год 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

@NoDuhhTiffany Год назад

Hi from Twitch 🙊 love how the magazine rack turned out!

@michellemartin5440 Год назад

This is perfect for the extra acrylic I have sitting at home that I had purchased for artwork, but didn't end up using!

@saraht4684 Год назад

I love Rachel’s videos! I love how she experiments with different materials and provides lots of info but it’s not overwhelming. Great work! And the coffee table turned out even better than the original plan :)

@urturningviolet Год назад

This is such a lovely, informative video.

@suckerpunk2980 Год назад

Rachel has such an amazing on camera presence.

@CarlyMFriesen Год назад

love these material deep dives and how tos!

@shabnacader Год назад

These are so cool!!!

@mishkahmartin6420 Год назад

Girls using bad ass power tools with perfect nails is everything I needed to see today

@deliamorton2392 Год назад

Absolutely loved the table and love Rachael even more ❤️

@jakeisitt262 Год назад

I'm wondering as you say you try to be sustainable, where do you put the cut off plastic like the sawdust " mirco plastic"

@mariana.a.n. Год назад

These are really cool! Will definitely be trying some 🙌🏼✨ though please wear a mask when cutting acrylic with any electryc saw that sends plastic particles into the air!
