Bough House - the third one, just finished
Nisse zieht ein - unser kleiner Weihnachtswichtel, der uns zur Adventszeit besucht. Wir lieben den süßen dänischen Brauch, eine Wichteltüre (Nissedør) an der Wand zu befestigen und deshalb zeige ich euch ein kleines DIY wie ihr die Wichteltüren, sowie weiteres Zubehör selbst basteln könnt.
Lots of I'm a Giant Challenge updates coming to you from good old Cleveland, Ohio. Furniture. Appliances. It's all gettin' done. And, since I'm going to be in a turkey coma for most of tomorrow, I thought I'd supply an update on my progress sooner rather than later. First, the kitchen. Aside from a faucet, rug, some open overhead shelving and accessories, this room is D-O-N-E. The stove and fridge were made from cardboard, the cabinets from balsa wood and the basin sink from modeling clay. I used beads for knobs, felt furniture pads as burners and screws as the oven knobs. I L-O-V-E the way this turned out, especially the terra cotta island which introduces an earthy color to help balance all the "stainless steel". Next, the dining room. As you can see by the painter's tape, this room is still in progress. The plan is to stain the table a dark walnut, paint the chairs different colors and reupholster the bench to bring in some pattern. I'm still debating on the buffet but I think I'm going to end up painting it, adding some wood detailing and small legs. We'll see. Oh, and I figured out the stairs! This was a huge accomplishment that took way less time than I originally anticipated. The sides are balsa wood and the steps are popsicle sticks. Yep, popsicle sticks. Seems like a lot of work, right? Well, it is. Fortunately, my mom scored some pre-made furniture for $1-$1.49 a piece. THANK YOU MOM. I'm not sure of the scale just yet (small beds, right?) but anything is better than nothing. It's way easier to edit than to build from scratch. Case and point: the coffee table. My dad (THANK YOU DAD) was able to saw off the bottom portion of a table's legs to shorten to the perfect length. My family room is pretty big so I wanted a nice, boxy coffee table to absorb some of the space. Doesn't it look fantastic?! And finally, I scrounged up some things I already had access to, easing some of the work left to do. My mom reminded me of some baby furniture I had from the dollhouse I started but never finished making as a kid. Also, my mom gave me all of her shadow box miniatures to use for accessorizing. Sure I'm going to have to refinish to modernize but, like I said before, editing is WAY easier than making from scratch. [painting the furniture and reupholstering] [painting the larger containers and now have a mold for plates and cups] [so adorable] [all the toys I can arrange in the kid's room. notice the troll - a definite must.] [might update the brass, replacing the baby's breath and painting the wood holders] [just some funny, very country shadow box miniatures I found along the way] So, what furniture is still left to make while on break? - finish the dining room furniture - make family room furniture (fireplace, tv, side tables, sofas, chairs, ottoman, bench) - make two reading chairs and coffee table for kid's room - make/buy coat rack No big deal, totally doable today before I head out. Sigh. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This is one of my all time favorite home DIYs I have ever done. And also one of the easiest! I found this on pinterest one day when I was just scrolling through and absolutely loved it. It looks so nice and expensive when in reality, it's one of the cheapest DIYs out there. Supplies: Popsicle Sticks (about 100) Wood Stain Hot Glue (or most other glue would work) Paint Brush Picture Hanger (if you don't want holes in your walls) Hexagon Shelf Template (provided by makeanddocrew.com) I used jumbo popsicle sticks and came to find out that the template is made for the regular sized ones. It still worked out fine, it just wasn't as straight and perfect as it would've been if I was able to follow the template. Instructions: 1. Add a drop of glue to both ends of three popsicle sticks and lay them as shown. Picture credit: MakeAndDoCrew.com 2. Layer three more sticks to complete the hexagon. 3. Continue gluing and layering like this until your hexagon shelf is as deep as you'd like it to be. Mine is 17 sticks deep. 4. Allow the glue to dry. 5. Stain your hex shelf, taking care to get stain in between all of the popsicle sticks. 6. Make sure to let your shelf completely dry before hanging it on the wall. You wouldn't want there to be wood stain permanently on your wall! I let mine dry over night. I hope you guys love this hexagon shelf as much as I do!

Make a wooden plane and fly around the globe — at least, in your imagination! In this kids' craft video, you will learn about floatplanes, which are often used as a means of transportation in Alaska because it's so remote there. Floatplanes are special because they land on water! Then, I will show you how to make a pretend plane from craft sticks (Popsicle sticks) and clothespins. This craft project is ideal for children ages 6 and older with adult supervision. It takes about one hour to complete. For this kids’ activity, you will need small and large Popsicle sticks (craft sticks), wooden dowels, wooden beads, a paintbrush, clothespins, paint, a hot glue gun, and a plastic tray or paper plate. WARNING: Adults should help children with the hot glue gun because the glue is very hot and can burn the skin. If you have fun making DIY clothespin planes with me, please like this children’s craft video, share it with a friend and subscribe to my YouTube channel! Enjoy flying your plane to all your favorite destinations and be sure to check out my sailboat craft! After making a toy sailboat, you can sail all over the world too!
