My mom would always pick up pine cones on her walks and find ways to decorate them as ornaments for our Christmas Tree. Making Christmas trees from the pine cones was a great idea, especially adding the cubes as a base, bells for ornaments and a star! Loved them.

Thanks so much Kristin!!!

I have started using the paper clay and Iove it. And I need that ornament mold.

Your candy cane is awesome. I love it. You are so talented. Everything that you make is really nice. I'd be proud to have all of these in my home. Right now I'm in Transitional housing and don't have my craft supplies are in storage, but as soon as I get a permanent home I'll be crafting again.

Wow Brandi, this compilation video was intense and amazing. I knew it before but it's worth saying again You young lady are the Queen of decopauge. Stunning absolutely stunning. I also know that you don't feature TTB much but the candy cane and nut cracker you designed are incredibly well done. I just did a small block of wood with some vintage Christmas paper I got off Amazon and I was able to complete it tonite watching you and your guidance. The huge pinecones you were gifted are yes they are rustic and I love that you put a base and decopaged it too. That I am definitely making because I was given the same huge pinecones from a school teacher of my granddaughter. There's so much in here I'm going to have to watch again. Thank you Brandi and I did say young lady because I'm pushing 70 and love crafting and I'm learning so much from you. Hugs❤❤❤❤❤

Loved your painting!!! New Subby!! You kept me laughing throughout this video!!😂😂😂♥️♥️

"Simplity" 😂

You are amazing! Love your ideas! TY

Hi I just wanted to say first of all I just enjoy your videos so much you make me laugh and then second of all I just wanted to share with you what I’ve learned off of someone else’s video when you’re ripping a napkin, they took a little fine brush with it moistened with just a little water and made a line with it and then when you ripped it off, it didn’t go beyond those lines so it made it so much easier to tear if that makes sense that I just share this with you keep making the videos love them. Happy holidays. God Bless!

I'm so sad I wanted to order some of your Christmas paper that went fast. I love your stuff 💓💓

Thanks Tammy!! It deff went faster than I expected! So sorry about that!

They're all awesome

Hi Brandi, I have to say the snowmen ornaments in a set with one decal were my favorite ornaments. I am putting jenga nut crackers on my No No list along with LEGO's! Although he did turn out cute. I just love the stool/riser and the crackle finish! Stunning. The reindeer paper you created is awesome!!!! I'm glad you put the Let It Snow picture as your number one! It was just beautiful. I have told you before I could watch you paint for days! I love love love it! I think we should call you "Mrs. Bob Ross", Brandi you are so talented. Thank you for all your inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey From Tampa FL

Love all of these! Have you tried hearty soft clay? I know you said you tried them all, but I'm a DAS Girl all the way and discovered the other from farmer browns paradise channel. It's super lightweight, a foam type clay, makes zero mess on your hands or molds, easy to knead (I have arthritis in my hands,) and I'm just super impressed with it... I still use DAS but for things like the HUGE Xmas tree on the new IOD mold, it works wonders cuz it's not heavy like other clays!

Oh, it stays pliable long after it dries also, so if you're using it for a curved surface, it makes it sooo much easier! I figured if you weren't interested, your other subscribers might be 😁

I have tried that one! I express the reason I pick THIS CLAY is because it sands down well! Plus its super soft texture even after it has been stored I like the natural look of this clay and when I use any grit it doesn't crack or shred it! It also seals over well with different sealers Hope that helps! But, thank you! yes feel free to leave your information in the comments for others if they are looking to try clay!

What was that word on the yellow bowl❓❓ I took a screenshot.
