I'm just learning about the new verb, "dupe". LOL. Great job! I'm a 70 y.o. grandma and I've been copying store bought items for years. I love the challenge, and it's so fun! And I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices, when I know I could make it for way less money. Good for you for taking on the challenge! ❤
My mom used to work in a warehouse that made florals for Ames, Macy, jc penny decades ago.. She would build the items and put them together. Come home covered in glitter from making crafts all day. It's makes me smile knowing I try to dupe things she would actually MAKE the stores sold many years ago for those high prices.
@thediystruggle Wow, what a cool Mom! Glittery Mom! That's such a wonderful memory! Many of those fancy department stores are gone now, and I miss them. I'm sure your Mom is/would be proud of your crafty skills (is she still among us?). You have certainly inspired me to get back into crafting more. Dupe away! (That word cracks me up!).
It took three times of backtracking to figure out why you hated the beginning of the first tree on the hurricane glass, and like you, I saw it. But what I didn't realize was that you can mix glitter INTO paint. I always thought you had to sprinkle glitter ON top of paint. Once again, you LEARNT me a little sumpin-sumpin.
Brandi, Gurl! That beaded wreath you made is everything. Way better than the Kirkland inspiration wreath! I know you struggle with florals but your piece looks like you could teach a master class. I’m very impressed.
I love that bead wreath! I have been staring at my bead round for a while now! I think I'm going to try a gingerbread one! Thanks for the inspiration! ❤❤
I just found your channel. It just appeared in my feed. I'm so glad it did. I love watching you craft and I really got a kick out of your personality. You are SO creative! I love how you take DT items and recreate much more expensive items. Everything you made is amazing
I am so happy youtube is helping me grow after all these years. I have had an increase of people saying that the past few weeks. I'm a little off the rocker..lol but, that's ok...lol we all craft around here🤣🤣 welcome Shari
These ar3 all gorgeous Brandy. You’ve made everything beautiful, as usual., the wreath is absolutely better than the dupe and actually so are all the others. TFS, have a great weekend.
They all turned out really really beautiful! Love all of them! To be honest yours look better than the store ones! Thank you, Brandi, so much for sharing! ❤️❤️
Great ideas and executed really well. Were you the youtuber that used a fan brush to paint realistic pine tree branches on glass or canvas? I think that would have worked well with the tree you painted onto the vase. And maybe add more paint to the mod podge? Just a thought. I think I'm going to try a couple of these, especially the wreath since I also have that beaded wreath already and the rest of the supplies. Thank you for the great inspiration! Rose
I would have quickly picked your wreath over their wreath. You DID the darn thang on that wreath, Gurlfriend, and I've GOT to try it, too! 💪🏾WTCraft, Brandi!❤
I can't pick a favorite because they're ALL so pretty! Thanks for the inspiration & for making really cool decor in a way that says "You Can Do It!" Oh, and watching you applaud yourself made me smile so hard!❤
O was looking at the bottom of the bell stands of the original & thought to get it even closer, you could have used the little trays for terracotta pots since they flare out that way. Just a thought.
I have a question, I'm new to crafting and totally hooked! My question is What type of paint works on glass? I have acrylic and chalk and needed to know if I should run to the store 😊 Thank you for doing these videos!!
I am a fairly new subscriber. love your crafts and how you show us the tips/tricks to DIY...I am 72 yrs old and have been crafting my whole life...now tho there are so many products out to help in DIY-ing...I just purchased some of your rice paper with xmas images on them and they are so beautiful and with-in my budget...thank you
Awww ( hugs ) I hope you love everything! I also have a community on Facebook where people share their projects and offer support and help!! People even share deals they find at stores!! My goal s to Help people create what they love without breaking the bank!!! 💚💙❤️🧡
Brandi, these are fantastic! I’m going to definitely try out the candles in the jingle bells. I have a feeling that pushing in the snowflake part of the bell will make me say some naughty words but I won’t blame you for that 😂 Hope you have a fantastic weekend! 💗🌈🎄☃️
Hi Brandi, guess what? I have 2 of those hurricane lamps and I'm gonna paint me a tree. I love when you paint trees. I'm going to ask my daughter to show me how to upload pics for the tenth time and then I'll put them on your Facebook page!
Wow! I really love all of these. I like the jingle bell projects. I wonder if you could paint the candle instead of painting the vase? Can you paint candles? You are number one ace artist. Love you and your brilliant work ♥️♥️♥️
I always & I mean always, LOVE your dupe videos (I love your whole channel but the dupes are so spot on &....you know what I mean) 💕💕💕. These are BEAUTIFUL Brandi, well done my friend, very well done 👏. I'd take any of yours any day of the week over theirs on these...straight up FACT 💝. P.S. sure wish i could paint half as good as you.
But I didn't. I glued them according to the way the bells allowed me to lay them after they were hammered. I tried to explain this in the video. The side with the notch would only bend flat. I needed the curved side to hold the bell that sat on top. Only so much you can dupe recreating something with obstacles
Your bead wreath looks so much better than the inspiration one. ❤🎄❤️
Aww you are to kind!! I deff love both
I second that. 👌

Your so clever Brandy, these are all so good, the wreath is so pretty
Such a genius idea to add floral foam to the top of the bead wreath.
It took three times of backtracking to figure out why you hated the beginning of the first tree on the hurricane glass, and like you, I saw it. But what I didn't realize was that you can mix glitter INTO paint. I always thought you had to sprinkle glitter ON top of paint. Once again, you LEARNT me a little sumpin-sumpin.
The beaded wreath is gorgeous❤❤❤❤
Thanks Carol! I love it very much also!
These were awesome! I LOVED all of them, but I think my favorite was your very first dupe - that round beaded floral piece. 👏 👏 👏 ❤
I am torn between that and the bell candle holders. They really did turn out so good
❤❤❤You have so much talent! TY Brandi!
Aww (hugs) thanks so much Joyce
Loved the bell candle idea
Thank you! 😊
Wow Brandi!! All of them are my favorite, you are such an inspiration. TFS
@@lisamiller5466 What does TFS mean? Sorry, I'm old. LOL
These are fantabulous!! I like every single one better than the original. They are Grand Brandi, just Grand!
Awww, you are so sweet girlie
I think yours looks better. The wreath at the beginning is beautiful.
Thanks so much Donna!!!
These are great. Love the wreath 😊😊
Love them all but the bells are gorgeous
My favorite is the beaded wreath gorgeous!
The wreath is beautiful.
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Brandi, Gurl! That beaded wreath you made is everything. Way better than the Kirkland inspiration wreath!
I know you struggle with florals but your piece looks like you could teach a master class. I’m very impressed.
I have been really forcing myself to find pieces with florals so I get better. I been doing this for so many years now it's time to expand..lol
I absolutely and adore everyone of these dupes!❤ Fantastic!!!❤❤🎉🎉

Welcome aboard! Thanks for the sweet comment 🧡💚❤️💙

You glued the bells upside down
But I didn't. I glued them according to the way the bells allowed me to lay them after they were hammered. I tried to explain this in the video. The side with the notch would only bend flat. I needed the curved side to hold the bell that sat on top. Only so much you can dupe recreating something with obstacles

Hey Hey Heyyy Beautiful Lady 🤍✌️🦋🌻🌈🕊✨️
Why does EVERYTHING at DT have GLITTER? I ask myself that every time i walk through DT.
Lots of glitter..lol
