AMAZING Crafts you NEED to see!!

what's up guys I am so excited you were back here again this week I'm Laurie and this week instead of decorating tricks are gonna be decorating DIY Christmas ornaments I joined to this video for so long and thank you so much to Zynga's words and friends for sponsoring a portion of this video to jump in I'm gonna be doing some cupcake ornaments so for the base of the cupcakes I saw a video where they use spray phone except it need a time to like rise up and set let's so roll the footage of been making these earlier today gloves and protective eyewear so I'm following the safety rules in an apron and add some paper clips on the bottom to weigh them down is that too much it's supposed to expand nobody's gonna make a very pretty cupcake it's like going a little bit and then good for the icing I'm gonna use spackling which is basically when you like have a hole in your wall and then you smush that smeary paste into it that's what this is except we're gonna pipe with it and I've got clay to make the decoration so I figure we we do that first [Music] these just baked and I feel like they look the exact same except now they're not sticky they've definitely puffed up quite a bit why is this one all chunky and then this one like a little baseball stuck inside my cupcake liner I mean I know I put a little bit more brave foam into some of them but like those just are not gonna work this however this seems like the better time [Music] I just want to peel off the liner and take a bite of this right now um but instead of eating something that is not edible I should probably get on to the next DIY this portion of my video is sponsored by Zynga's words of friends - inspired by the little letter tiles I'm gonna create a little let it snow snowflake it's gonna be super cute I've been playing words with friends for over 10 years and now I'm playing words of friends - I've played with everybody I play a lot with my friends and family I've played with my husband my dad and even my old boss who I beat by the way which was a sweet victory but I also like playing solo just to unwind and relax I have really been enjoying the lightning rounds which is like a good branch challenge for me but they always have new events and challenges in the game which make it all the more fun now I want to play with you guys you can download the link down below in the description and request to play a game with me just look me up under my ID Lori Shannon I'm gonna play with as many of you guys as I possibly can before Christmas so once you're done watching this video click the link down below and download the game thank you so much to think of sports and friends - for sponsoring this portion of the video the next DIY I'm gonna do is gonna be a donut I'm gonna do a really quick glaze on top of the donut using this like acrylic latex caulking and some acrylic paint it's going to look very cool I can actually dip it in the glaze like a doughnut and I've just got some clay for the actual dough part of the donut so let's make some dough [Music] clay is a lot stiffer than fondant [Music] they are baked they're cooled I was thinking about painting them but I feel like they look cute enough as they are I figured we would try caulking instead and see if it does like a nice glaze on top of the donut this is super thick I don't think this is the type of thing you can water down I have never worked with any of this stuff before I don't know if it's enough [Music] I think a chocolate glaze I'm like a little caramel drizzle it'll look cool too but I really wanted bright colors for a Christmas tree so we're going with this next that I'm gonna do I'm really excited about it's gonna be a caramel apple I just found out at a craft store and now I need to try to match my decoupage which is like we used to make to make paper mache you know we used to get the balloons and you'd smear newspaper all over it like little things and then you'd like put that glue on top of it and you pop it and you paint it you guys might think I'm crazy maybe the only one who did this but I used it all the time as a kid same stuff but we're doing it on [Music] [Applause] [Music] I think I'm ready to dip it super nervous and then after I dipped it I have this corncob like animal bedding I got the pet store it looks like chopped nuts [Music] full disclosure I tried one of these like 10 minutes ago because I was looking at the consistency of this and it all drooped off of it made a ginormous mess I feel like it's because it's too wet now it does say it tacks up in like 25 minutes I'm thinking if maybe we wait like half that time and then put the nuts on they won't droop it has little bubbles I'm trying to blow blow the bubbles out of it look on Pinterest and everyone's like it's easy it's fine you just dip the Apple and it's like hey but what about the bubbles and what about the nuts falling off of it [Music] it is getting late it's getting very dark in this room I think we're gonna stop filming for the day and then come back when everything is dry and finish up the other DIYs welcome to day two this looks terrible I mean it's thin and in truth all of the nuts on it anyways I feel like this is like an epic fail but I am NOT a quitter so instead last night you know it was really late I went through and I made a whole other one first thing I did differently was I used a gloss decoupage instead of the matte and actually the gloss one has a thicker consistency so it was easier to put on this went super dark when it dried so I made it a little bit lighter and then I came back and I gave it a second coat I thought that made it look really nice and thick but I still terrified to put those nuts on because I did not want this to happen again I let it fully dry for like an hour it was still a little bit tacky and then I just took the nuts the fake nuts and kind of put those on to the side and this is how it turned out I really want it to look better but I mean like it wasn't hard to make this look better because this looks so horrible but this actually turned out really cute that's what happens when you don't give up and you press severe press aveer I kept going and I conquered next I want to try to make like a toaster pastry I have a giant pile of felt here I figured I would try sewing one I don't know how to sew like I took home a cat high school I remember nothing so this could get interesting [Music] [Applause] [Music] that is super adorable I guess my home X skills weren't too bad with sewing if you guys want to see more DIYs in the future let me know give this video a like and comment down below I really like making these DIYs and I'd love to do more in the future so if you guys want to do it I will definitely want to do it too and I will see you guys again back next week where can we do something else fun cute sexy b-roll [Music]
