Patches were popular in the 60s & 70s. Everything old is new again!

Yayyyyyy my favorite person! If you people aren’t SUBSCRIBING to the BEST KZreadR EVER, YOU ARE MISSING OUT! ❤❤.

I wish we were neighbors so we could hang out and be crafty and go to Dollar Tree, Aldi, etc. together. You bring so much joy to my day when you have a new video.

Me too! That would be so much fun!!! 💖💐💖

Oh, honey... you had loose edges on the stencil. I recommend using a spray adhesive on the back of the stencil, so that the edges of the letters are stuck to the surface, and the etching cream doesn't bleed under. Or, use contact paper/vinyl, and then cut the letters out with a craft knife. 😉👍

I’ve seen people have great luck using a sponge and dabbing the cream on instead of painting it on.

1) safety tip: you have to watch the candles, the tissue/napkins will catch fire 2) Wrapping the candle in wax paper works great as it adds a layer of wax over the candle and seals the napkin/tissue to the candle 3) you can use wrapping tissue and let the kids decorate it with colored pencils and personalize it as gifts 4) you can use a blow dryer to heat the candle too and that is easier for most people to control and keep their hands from getting too hot - Hope this helps!

Those little personalized cutting boards would be great for a little charcuterie board bachelorette party...each bridesmaid gets one personalized to them and get to customize what they want to eat with a charcuterie-type buffet!

Your white jacket with tiger bling is giving ed hardy vibes 🥳

YAS! Let's all make one and it'll be a secret club. LOL

Absolutely looove the white butterfly sticker frame💕💕🌸🌸

Those embroidered applique patches were fashionable in the 70s. I remember going to the fabric section of department stores with my mom. I wanted my mom to buy them to put them on my sweater or jumpers. The gigantic beer mug. If you have an immersion blender, you can use the beer mug as the mixing container

🍒🦥🌮🍕 *THOSE CUSTOMIZED MAKE UP BAGS ARE SO CUUUTE*

You can use a heat gun instead of an iron for the napkins on the candles, you can also use a printer and print photos onto tissue paper. I did that for my mother's funeral and gave the candles as memorial gifts

You can also use the $ Tree battery pillar candles since they are waxy.

Back in the early 90s when the TLC channel was actually about learning….or maybe it was CMT….Aleene, from Aleene’s Tacky Glue and other craft products, had a daily show. She showed the napkin transfer process!

Hahaha “She went to prison, and she lived that life.” I died. 🤣🤣🤣👍🏽👏🏽💀

Check out the battery-powered candles, A lot of them are wax coated and you can apply the designs just like on a regular candle and no worry about the napkin possibly catching fire.

Vivian, there's nothing wrong with the itching cream it's how you put it on. You have to lightly dab it on so that it doesn't go under the stencil. And it works better if you use Stickers like a cricket.

Put em on jeans, put em on...jeans. 😊

The compact umbrella at DT is a must stock up before prices go up. No they are not impeccable quality but it is great for in the car or in your office at the office.

I’m enjoying your DT crafts. You have promoted Dollar Tree for years. Its time for them to give back

The candle idea reminds me of a craft we did in the 70s. We applied a decal to the top of a bar of soap and then carefully dipped the top of the soap in paraffin. The soap could be used and the decal stayed on until the bar was used up.

Such a cool idea! ❤

Use a blow dryer for the candles 🕯️ wrap with wax or parchment paper and use the blow dryer to go around it. It’s so much easier and it looks fantastic. Fantastic.

Vivian I love that you tried the etching cream. Unfortunately, it was the stencil that had issues, not the cream. It clearly did its job but the stencil should be very well adhered to the glass surface which the D25tree stencil did not… which caused bleeding. However I feel $1.25 is expensive for the amount of etching cream you get.

The bedazzled Jean jacket 10000000 Vivian heads!

Not necessarily in this video but my favorite Vivian quote is multipurpose, multi use. I caught myself saying it one day.

You are fantastic, don't ever think you are alone. We ALL love you. You are an inspirational ❤️ 👏 😊😊.

Vivian the Crafter! Love! F all the haters!

🦋🤍🦋🤍 *THOSE BUTTERFLY FRAMES WERE SUCH A CUTE IDEA!*

use the realistic looking feather butterflies! I have also gotten the giant plastic bugs, painted them gold and glued them to the frame, it gives a really cool vintage effect

I really like what you did with the candle that is so beautiful. I love it when you craft for us you are so talented I hope you have a wonderful weekend take care

You can glue those patches on, too, with water soluble glue. Lay them flat, put a weight on them so they dry flat, and then when the bag wears out, soak it and boom, the patches come off and are reusable.

Vivian's DT crafts are going to be the reason they raise prices because her ideas are the best!

That mug brought root beer floats to my mind 😂😂😂

The little make-up bags would also be cute for a little girl for a combination purse/pencil case.

Decoupaging candles? Never thought about it but I'm loving it! I love Decoupage crafts! Definitely trying this! 🌺

So fun. Martha did live the life 🤣. I can always count on you giving me a laugh. Love you, mean it girl ❤

Wow those patches bring back memories! I was a kid and my mom would sew them on anything I wanted. They were the best on jeans and denim jackets. 💜💜💜 I didn’t see them in my store yesterday.

I love the way the candles came out and also the flower on the cutting board. I would use a pencil to write the name and burn over it to get the font perfect. The stencil going on a beer mug crooked makes it even better. 😂😂😂

The cork brought back a memory, I had a wall in my bedroom when I was in middle school and kept all my favorite things from friends ect on that wall❣️❣️❣️❣️

I used mod podge on my candles 🕯 and thank you for sharing all the great things you found at dollar tree 🌳 you're the best 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Vivian. There is something similar you can do like you did with a single 3-D butterflies. Take a magnet and put it in the center of your frame. And then put a magnet on the back of each butterfly and then you can change your butterflies out whenever you want. 🥰 With the water bottle stickers, I do those on resin tumblers and then resin over them and they look fantastic. As always, I love your videos

The tissue paper with the candle was the best!!!

I just bought stickers the other day at DT!! …had no idea what I was going to do with them … but you gave me ideas ❤ they were just too cute !

Ohhh love the tiger on white jean jacket! I have one and am now gonna hunt for that gem tiger lol. If you use cellophane/scotch tape, you can separate layers of napkins very easily. You can use parchment paper to cover the candle on the napkin but instead of ironing, use a craft heating tool or just a hair dryer on high heat. Wax melts and paper sticks, easier than ironing a cylindrical candle.

Tween/young teen girl birthday party idea - guests can chose a makeup bag and patches, adult does the ironing, add candy, gum, lipgloss etc. = Goody Bag

1:49 I LOVE this!! I have a few bags that I got from Ipsy that I keep in my purse - 1 for each type of thing. Makes life so much easier! 💜💜💜

I make a lot of those candles using photos I've printed myself on tissue paper. I then use a hair drier instead of an iron to fix the paper onto the candle. I cover the tissue paper with parchment paper as I'm working. Easy.

I want more Dollar Tree crafts by Vivian!

VIV.. ON converse, fabric glue works..lol.. backpacks, journals,socks ,Hats

Look at you being CRAFTY! You just make me SMILE!

Now these iron ons I like. Thanks.

A sponge works better with etching than a brushing like tool. With a brush you rub around the edges and it gets under the stencil. But with a sponge you just press straight down and so the bleeding is less pronounced. Also make sure it’s soo secure.

I love your videos, Vivian. Always fun! But I think the problem with your etching project was "user error", not the cream. I've done glass etching in the past with stencils. The stencil needs to be glued down with removable adhesive or use an "adhesive stencil". Or use a design cut out of a sticky contact paper. You can't have space for the cream to seep under the design. When you brush or sponge the cream on, it's inevitable that it will get under a regular stencil & you won't have crisp definition.

Omg This was so much fun! Girls night with Dollar Tree crafts! I bought the diamond art. That with a couple mimosas will be memories that last a lifetime!😁

Put fairy lights in those tumblers and it'll look so amazing 🎉

Vivian, if you get really good with the wood burning tool; you can bring it to parties. Setup a table a customize cutting boards! 😊 thats multi use multi purpose

Vivian YOU are the very best!!! I wish I was your neighbor or work friend!! I love your channel!! Your DIYs are the very best. Whenever I see that you have a new video I’m like woohoo!!! Thank you so much for making my day!!! 💖💐💖

Arts & Crafts Vivian is one of my favs 😍

On the candle diy ... if you use those tiny tiny lights you can put the lights in with the gems to light them up . Also idr what its called but theres a product to secure the small batery pack and candle down amidst the gems . Hey VIVIAN TRIES ! I'VE got loads of ideas if you would like to go into a business together! Lol!

Hi Vivian. Love all your videos whatever the content 😊

Those wood cutting boards and utensils apparently also work great in a glowforge -- and for those that don't own a glowforge, check your public library. They often have maker spaces with 3d printers and electronic cutters. You can do fancy designs on a board and spoons. For those stickers on a water bottle/cup, get some dishwasher safe modpodge. Use a couple of coats. That way your stickers won't come off.

Omg I need those patches n bags

MORE VIVIAN CRAFTS!!!!!

Oh Vivian that beer mug makes a killer coffee mug!

I'm in Canada so our dollar tree is not as good but I love watching you! Love your humour!!!!

The etch cream is good. It is some strong stuff. It only needs a few minutes. It will bleed. The transfer didn't work because of the curve. You need the stencils that stick to the glass.

Had it up 3 $trees within an hour and a half by making our morning route out in a triangle rather than a loop. Racked up on acrylic drawers, drawer organizers, plactic wicker bins w/tops, and stackable shelves for underneath cabinets. It was a fun morning!

5:50 if you want the kids to do it get them some stencils and a small thin brown Sharpie LOL

I still watch your videos even though I stopped shopping at Dollar Tree. 😊

I started buying the patches to make trucker hats for my grandchildren . They're very cute , but look closely at what the package says because the have puffy stickers that are very similar

Vivian…the etching crème did good but you needed a stencil that sticks to the glass. Cut one out with your Cricut. Love that you are doing dollar tree crafting. I buy and sell tons of dollar tree crafts made from the dollar tree supplies. Christmas is coming. Make the elf on a shelf knock offs and put little elf names with your Cricut. Put in one of the fancy Christmas boxes. Also elf security camera from dollar tree ornaments.

❤ you Vivian. Yes I like watching craft ideas. Especially if they’re easy.

I was not disappointed another Mrs Vivian Tries wonderful and fun video

That candle looks like it ha a gorgeous tattoo!

Luv dollar 🌲 && Vivian! ! &. They may raise their prices, why not ?! Every restaurant, stores raising $$$$. 🎉❤😊. Patches: decorate your dog harnesses 🐕👍

Yes please, more DT. I just love your personality and watching you n

The little IRON!! I NEED IT! Tell me more about the IRON please. Link preferred. 😍😍

You always make me laugh 😂😂 we used to put them on our Levi's back in the 70's I saw them last week I got a whole bunch of stuff I have one really nice Dollar Tree by my house and I go there. I thought that the beer mug was a measuring glass like they have in Japan

I would love matching jackets ❤❤❤. 😊

A towel would be a good idea for the iron on between the bag and the iron.

Vivian.. I want to say thank you ! Since i have found your channel I have been well informed as well as entertained! ❤

I need MORE Dollar Tree crafts from Vivian!

I work at a library and we used those butterflies for our bulletin board! Love them!

We used a hair dryer. Keep up the good work.

You can do the candles woth a hair dryer too.

The cork thing DID NOT work for me. I tried the other tip (deep blade?). It just drug through it and shredded the edges because of how cork is held together. Also don’t brush stencils! Use stencil sponges unless the stencil has sticky backing 😂

I do these all the time. I use wax paper to wrap around the candle and I use a heat gun (a blow dryer will also work). I have made a lot of "Memory" candles for people who have lost their loved ones. I print their photos onto the candle and they are gorgeous when finished.

As far as burning letters into wood? You might very well have the EASIEST first name, no swoopy letters like my “S”! It is kismet, you were meant for great things!

The etching cream actually works great, you need to dab it on. When you brush it on it bleeds through.

Ooohhh Vivian THIS was a really good one!!! ❤

I love it when you do crafts! You’re so happy!

Oh Vivian is always a hoot and a holler 😄

Hi Vivian! Long time fan from Michigan here! Could you use a hairdryer for the candle designs? You should have your own t.v series! ❤❤❤

You are so entertaining! Love your energy!

Thanks for the woodburning tip!! Gonna do this for Xmas!!!

Such a cute idea to iron the patches onto the little makeup bags!!! ❤😊

Thanks for the tutorials! The candles look so pretty 😍

Omg Vivian, you are so good at this crafting! I cracked up laughing at the beer mug 🍺 especially when you pulled off the stencil, and you were laughing!!! 🤣 I burst out laughing when you said, they won’t know; they are drunk! I love ❤ your videos! I say it all the time! Thanks for the tips!

The industry rumor is that DT is increasing the prices as the precursor to the company combining all the Family Dollar and Dollar Tree stores into one new retail store chain with the new name expected to be announced on Jan 1st.
