Hi, I'm Anne and welcome to my channel! My husband Stephen and I both started making things when we were children and we decided to make Crafters' Grove to help inspire and build confidence in viewers like you to make things too. We strive to make our home and the planet a better place through reusing, repurposing, refinishing, and making things by hand to reduce our waste footprint. We hope to inspire and build confidence in viewers to do the same - or better yet, exceed our efforts. I hope you enjoy the channel!
How To Replace a Door with a Window
This video walks you through how we converted an exterior door into a window. For us this was a tremendous change and for a relatively small amount of effort and money. It is a change we have loved every minute since.
Many old houses seem to have more doors than necessary. I’ve read some explanations for this, but to me, none seem to fit. In visiting a house of the same age as ours, at a museum, we were told the multiple doors were to allow for more airflow by creating a cross breeze… but why wouldn’t they install a window instead? Was it because of the window tax? I believe that taxation type was over by the time our 1870s home was built. What are your thoughts as to why victorian houses ...

How to Widen a Sweatshirt Neckline
Просмотров 6173 месяца назад
This tutorial was born from a problem. We had this sweatshirt, the overall size fit but the neck hole was too small to fit over our little one’s head. The sweatshirt was unusable like this. Given that our little one was of average weight and head circumference, the sweatshirt wouldn’t have worked for most children. So we had to find a way to fix it. This tutorial walks you through how to widen ...

HOW TO | Fix a Door that Won’t Close
Просмотров 314Год назад
This tutorial walks you through how to fix a door that won’t close because it is hitting the top of the doorframe. If your door won’t close because it is hitting the floor AND there is space between the top of the door and the frame, you can still use this tutorial simply by raising the hinges instead of lowering them. If your door won’t close for other reasons we also have other doors to fix a...

We were tight on cash, having just financed a new home and a move, so we looked for more economical furniture options. We stumbled across a company that sold furniture and other household items which they procured through estate sales and personal connections. Their store had some great pieces a...

Christmas Hack | What to Do with Your Scrap Wrapping Paper
Просмотров 151Год назад
This is another fun and quick craft to do while watching those classic Christmas movies. I have always saved my scrap pieces of wrapping paper and used them to wrap smaller gifts. However, over the years, these have added up and I have had fewer and fewer small gifts to wrap. So I was inspired to find an alternative use for these scraps and that’s how this craft was born. I hope you find this t...
Spruce Up Your Christmas Tree Ornament Hooks
Просмотров 793Год назад
This is a fun and quick craft to do while listening to your favourite Christmas music and watching those classic Christmas movies. The inspiration for this craft came when I was repairing a broken ornament. The part from which the hook attached to the ornament broke off and left the ornament itself looking a little plain. Because of this I wanted to make the hook a little more unique to add det...
Making a Reusable Christmas Crinkle Gift Bag
Просмотров 121Год назад
The inspiration for this craft came from a couple of places. The first was from the pattern I created for my fabric advent calendar. You can watch that video here: ruclips.net/video/xTRo3Dae3DA/видео.html The second source of inspiration came when I was wondering why reusable fabric wrapping wasn’t more popular. What is so special about paper wrapping? I think it is the texture and sound of tea...
Making a Miniature Christmas Wreath
Просмотров 5632 года назад
The inspiration for this Christmas craft came from my wooden advent calendar, which makes some cameo appearances throughout this video. After buying this advent calendar, Stephen and I made 24 miniature decorations to fit inside. Every day of the calendar we open up a house to reveal one of these creations. We place the miniature creations on the shelves of the calendar, slowly filling up the c...

This is another Victorian-Era-inspired Christmas decoration. I really enjoy the simplistic elegance of the Victorian-style Christmas decorations and I think this is why I continue to get inspired by this time period. Stephen and I both like that style and have both brought some of those decorations from our previous lives into our shared home. One of the things I am looking forward to is showin...

Just the video I was looking for :) thanks
Thank you! This was a simple and cute hack.
Question: I’m trying to work on leggings, I know the material is different but it’s a bit of an emergency lol my question is, is it normal for the flared bottoms to not line up properly on the original seam? What I mean by that is, when I was placing my pins to go straight down following the OG seam, I had extra fabric bunching in the middle because I was trying to line up my fabric following the OG seam according to the steps given at 2:09 ….
My pads are triangle shaped. Any advice on how to position them?
Assuming your bathing suit is shaped somewhat like the one in the video, the point would go up to wards the top like this: 🔺. However, without seeing both the pad and bathing suit in person I cannot say for certain. Some clear giveaways are thicker padding or curving. Thicker padding would rest underneath the breast to help lift. The curvature would follow the natural curvature of the average breast. I hope this helps! Happy crafting!
What's the best/easiest way to figure out what kind of wood was used to make the door? Cool video, thanks for sharing
Peelaway 1 Paint Remover + Drummond Citrilize (Which comes with the Peelaway 1 Remover).
This is essentially lye and lime
Its unique and why you stopped uploading video what happen 😢 dont worry be consistent we support you
Very beautiful door!
What Paint remover did you use?
Thank you soooo much
What paint remover did you use? What plastic covering did you use?
I also wanted to say thankyou as your tutorial was soooo much easier to understand and follow so thank you once again.
Beautiful work ok you mentioned the bobbin being in thd right way but also when pinning have the points of the pins pointing upwards instead of downward.. its so much easier when your sewing its a smoother project and less likely to get the pin tramped under the presser foot.
How long did you let the stripper set for?
Thank you for the video - I struggled to find any info on how to refinish and old frame, so this waa very helpful!
whic mirror is this
How do I get the blotchiness removed and I still have white paint in bedded in the wood that I cannot get out with remover and I would like to have a natural finish when I am done
What products were used?
Many thanks ❤
Thank you, it was super helpful!
I really like eco friendly methods like these because they're a lot easier and cheaper to do than plastic professional ahh methods anyway!
Bohužel nemáte tam nastavený český jazyk..u me to nejde..moc velká škoda..
I see the title of the music for the video but I can't find the name of the stripper used to perform the work. Would you please reveal the name of the stripper and the source? Thank you
How u add the plumbing i becwanted to this to shed
The Dumond plastic wrap to help the paint stripper not dry out, can be substituted with normal plastic wrap such as Saran wrap. 🤓🤫 👍
Wow!! That is the most gorgeous front door! I am working on my 1800’s French doors that someone painted white and I will have to try peel away, they have sooo many nooks with each window. And the trick with the glass is amazing! I will have to try it on my front door glass also. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Square knot at the end?
Thank you do much I have been trying for DAYS to figure out how to put a mirror in my Dodge Challenger.
Thank you for this my wife and I have identical camrys to this one in the video judging by the seat and we almost considered getting new cars because we couldn’t fit the mirrors on the headrest 😂
Why are all your pins back to front?
Wow you cured my frustration
What brand paint stripper did you use? I was impressed how well it work from other videos
love the sink. toilet not so much.
wouldny outdoor toilets smell less? put a shower or hose in for cleaning and for kiddy accidents,.
Guess I should have watched this first I used a respirator and a heat gun with scraper.
So satisfying! Great video, however it would be really helpful if you showed the products you used
It looks like Dumond paint remover. Dumond Smart Strip by Peel Away
Life saver ❤
Thank you, this was exactly what I needed to see and hear. Now, off to find the products available in my area!
Thank you. Helpful video!
Can you talk about the toilet? Is it composting?
Thank youuuuuuu
first time dad here! any one have any ideas how to install this on a honda civic hatchback? has the fixed headrests but since its a hatchback doesnt have the anchors behind the seat
I see in the comments that you used peel away. What product did you use for the neutralizer afterwards and what is this paper called?? Thanks
This is so helpful. What cream paint stripper did you use?
I’m glad the video has helped! We used Peel Away.
@@CraftersGrove what was your neutralizer? I use water and vinegar mix to clean off the residue.
Very easy to follow, now I feel brave enough to go ahead!!
Wonderful! Enjoy altering your pants!
Nice work!
What stripper did you use for this product? Can you send me a list of products used. Thank you.
