How much rope?????
Hello there! All details are on the blog ifonlyapril.com/macrame-wall-hanging-tutorial-for-beginners-natural-dyed-cotton-thread/
Изделия у вас классные но что бы было еще и больше подписчиков и лайков пишите колличество нитей и длину. А если будет не трудно и размер готовова изделия .
Спасибо за совет. Все детали написаны в блоге www.ifonlyapril.com
Soooooo cuteeee!! I love it! It's absolutely stunning! <3 My craftroom/office is the exact same colour, and I painted everything -the ceiling the trims, the doors etc. I love it every time I step into the room haha. I am currently pregnant with my first born and want to do trim on the wall and ceiling - it will be my first attempt! But this video makes me want to do it even more!
Thank you so much Hannah! 🥰 It makes me so happy that this video inspired you to do the trim etc for your nursery! Good luck with that! I hope to see final result
Класное видио но если бы еще знать длину нитей цены вам бы небыло
Спасибо! Я в блоге все подробно описала 🤗 ifonlyapril.com/macrame-weaving-wall-hanging-with-vine-and-leaf/
I bought a circular track-saw guide to try out this week and build my first workbench
Beautiful!
Thank you :)
I recently bought a circular saw tracksaw guide to help me make cuts
rules: 1. make perfect blueprint (laziness is bad as you will have to think more where and why without good blueprint) 2. cut each part 3. round corners 4. prime and paint 5. assemble
How much did it cost?
Hi! I have all details on my blog ifonlyapril.com/fantastic-diy-backyard-playground-with-free-plans/ If I remember correctly it was about $350, but prices on wood went up since then so probably will be more expensive now
I started doing the same gold leafing you are doing back in the 1960's. You may have different results but I found if I used a soft, 1.5-Inch wide paint brush, the look was quite smooth with much less flaking. You were using the blunt end of the round brush with what looked like stiff bristles and were pouncing, which left hundreds of little pointy marks on portions of the gold leaf. My best results came from holding the softer bristle wide brush at a 45-degree angle and using a light stroking motion. I had much less gold leaf flaking off as well. In any event, you were brave, had fun and have a beautiful mirror. Your friends will be impressed and amazed. Barbara in Dallas, Texas. 🌱🌺🌻🌸🌿
Gracias por hacerlo tan facil! Me puedes decir a qué medida tengo que cortar las cuerdas? Gracias!
I couldn’t watch this to the end. That music was obnoxious.
Great job! I like the painted ceiling. I want to paint my daughter's ceiling, but my husband won't let me 😆. The room came out so adorable- lucky girl.
Thank you!☺️ haha yeah, some people think it's not a good idea. I hope you'll be able to convince your husband 😄
Love this! I will be making this soon, and you inspired me to be able to do it myself (mostly 😉)
That's amazing! I'm so happy to hear that! And good luck! I believe in you :)
You look tight
What country are you in?
In USA
@@IfOnlyApril oh sorry I just heard accent and thought you were overseas. Love your work and enthusiasm
Thank you 🤗 I'm not originally from USA, so you weren't wrong :)
I love your video. I’m a handy mom just realizing I really need a new workbench-Ana White’s workbench specifically-and then I discovered your video. I love that you gave me a preview of the mistakes I would undoubtedly make too during my own build. You made a WAY more useful video than a random professional teaching me how to do this perfectly. I needed this. Thank you!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful feedback! I'm so happy you found this video useful! Have fun with your projects and have a wonderful day! 🥰
Did you use staples or brad nails to attach? The plans I printed say staples but I wonder if brad nails would work?
I used brad nails and it worked fine
Hi there, I've read your blog and it says 30 threads 80" long. I'm assuming when halved they are 40" long? Otherwise the cut threads need to be 160" long. Could you pls confirm?
It's been a few years since I made it, but I think 40" when it's halved
Your next project shouldn't be anything fancy or fun, but please, make yourself an outfeed table for your tablesaw! It was pretty rough to watch and scary!
Thanks Jonathan for your concern! :)
I hope you really take this into consideration. That was very scary to watch I hope you haven’t and don’t have any accidents in the future but if you operate like that I promise you it’ll be a matter of time. Great job nonetheless
Do you have plans available for this?
I have a detailed blog how I made it at ifonlyapril.com/diy-lego-table-activity-table-ikea-hack/
Amazing work! #SuperMommy #MomOfTheCentury!
Thank you 🤗 I wouldn't go as far as mom of the century, but trying my best😁

What’s your favorite true crime podcast or KZread channel?
I love "something was wrong" and "true crime" podcasts 😁
You did a fantastic job April!!! Love painting the ceiling!!!❤🎉!!!
Thank you! It's a bit controversial topic but I love it!
@@IfOnlyApril then keep doing you!!!!!❣️
Yay!!!! It’s here!!!!!!❤
Yay!!!
Can hardly wait!!!❤
Thanks 😊
So the shelves are held only by the two screws? They don’t have any additional support on the back side close to the wall? Is it secure enough? Thank you for your response
Yes! It's been stable for years since it's leaning to the wall at an angle. If I did this project again I'd also use wood glue in addition to the screws. Hope that helps!
Aw you painted it yellow but it chipped 😢, you could add a waterproof paint, that won’t chip dude
How cool!
Thank you for this
My pleasure!
I made this table today and wanted to comment on some issues I learned that were not addressed. First, this isn’t $100. Basic supplies alone are a minimum of $200. If you decide to stain, paint or need any extras like tape, more glue or tools, it’s more. I spent $250 to make this. The pole wrap itself is $80 so there is no way to make this $100 project like she mentioned. this also isn’t a 2 hour project unless you’re a pro and don’t make any mistakes. It’s not mentioned you really need to have the spokes stick outside of the rounds about 1/8 an inch to make sure warping doesn’t happen when you attach the pole wrap. we made them flush to the rounds and the rounds were the only thing the pole wrap would grip to because the spokes weren’t far enough out. I wouldn’t use nails for the base, i would use screws. we used nails at first and that was too hard to do and way too flimsy. i also wouldn’t use plywood it was too expensive and not worth it for this project. not to mention it splinters if you catch the laminate the pole wrap doesn’t wrap around completely perfect. we had 1/2 inch gap and had to make shift an extra row so there wasn’t a huge gap. if you don’t get the pole wrap just exactly perfect and flush the top won’t glue to the base. if it raised even a little the glue won’t grab and you’ll have to use a hinge or something of that sort. to get the look she has you have to get another round and glue it to the bottom so really you need 3 rounds not 2. overall this is a beautiful table for a fraction of the price but this video didn’t talk about the difficulties if your not a pro. and this to me wasn’t a “pro” diy build. i made this with someone who is very experienced and they found a lot they didn’t like about this project and we changed several things to make it work. so i’d say there of flaws in building exactly like she says in video. i’d encourage building it but definitely don’t be like me and expect it to be this easy!
Thanks for sharing your struggles with this build and suggestions! Have a nice day!
What size trim?
This was so good and you had me smiling along with your journey. Great job!
Thank you Katie :)
Действительно мило :-)
You are so incredibly interesting and have a stunning energy that shines even from your videos.
Thank you😊
Seriously thank you so much for this video ❤
Thank you! I've been there 😅 I remember how challenging it was
Great video! I'm looking at Trofast as a way to organise my camping gear. I love that you triumphed in your quest but showed all your mistakes and lessons along the way. You were necessarily stubborn, but also creative and flexible, and you were humble enough to ask for help whenever you hit a wall. Awesome. In NZ they sell white Trofast units too but they are made from Particleboard. I think pine would be more durable when drilling lots of holes, so interesting to see you get the same effect by using your paint-and-stain method. Anyway, thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you Dan! I'm glad the video was helpful! Trofast is a great product to organize camping gear! Well done! Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
This is one design I've thought of trying. It looks so easy and i love the fluted base. You did an excellent job. Enjoying your channel.
Thank you Carol! It was indeed super easy and quick to make! And I love the result too!
Where did you buy the fabric for pillowcases? And are they a woven linen cotton blend? Reason I ask is because the fabric looks exactly like ones I ordered off Amazon in a boho style. I loved them so much that I want to paint my own. Very nice job on the painting!
I got them from Amazon too :) perhaps it's the same ones that you have! I have a link on my blog at www.ifonlyapril.com
@@IfOnlyApril thank you I'll check it out. Hard to find the same in blanks. Some are thinner than others
Oh yes I saw the Juvale store but they looked to beigey. It took me forever to decide because I kept analyzing the fabrics up close on my computer and decided to go with the white ones from Wanzelonyo. I clicked on them just this morning! The Boho ones from USSAP store were fabulous...the fabric was thick so I'm hoping... keeping my fingers crossed...that these are the same. I made my own stencils by buying the clear plastic chopping mat from dollar tree 2 in a pack,increased the magnifier on my computer and traced some leaves and the striped boho designs right from my screen to the mat. (Good hack!) Now I just have to wait till Friday when they arrive and can start painting this weekend.
Hi! How many yarns did you buy from KnitPicks for this project?
Hi! I don't remember exactly but I have all the details and materials list on my blog www.ifonlyapril.com 😊 I hope that helps!
Single mom…..????? Room looks great!! And glad you’re back!
Thank you :) life has been so busy lately, trying to find time to edit next video.))
