As a florist and I do submerged flowers for weddings a lot. If you want super clear water, use distilled instead of tap water and it makes a huge difference 😘.
Happiness doesn’t happen by getting what you want. Happiness begins with being grateful for all you have. Take time to thank God for all you have, today. Have a Beautiful and Blessed day.
Can you tell me the name of that paint you used please?
Alma, you are always so sweet with your comments. Have a blessed day!❤❤
Yes, indeed! You too!
Amen 🙏🏽
@@debbiefriedt7264 thank you Debbie. God Bless you and your family.
I had a lot of "why-didn't-I-ever-think-of-that?" moments while watching these sneaky home hacks. You look beautiful - I love the energy you bring to your videos! Thank you so much! You are LOVED!!
Absolutely love the shower curtain wrapped canvas idea. I can't wait to do it for our family room wall.
*2 Million Friends!! Congratulations!* 🎉
Woo hoo she’s our girl ! Yay💐🥂🎆🌌🎉🎊🎁🪅🪄🛍🎁🎈🎊🎉🎏🎈🎁🪅💐💐🪅🎈🎈🎈🇨🇦🎉🎁🎉🇨🇦🎉🎁
I love how copper gets involved with your projects ! He needs his own KZhead or Instagram page he's so cute!
Girl, I’ve just got to say, I love your channel, your content and just you in general. lol I found your channel recently via the Dollar Tree videos. I almost lost my mind when I saw that you had Big Lots videos as well! I didn’t know what BL was until recently moving very near to one. These videos, along with your amazing home hacks…..🤯! The spectacular hacks that you share with us are not the hacks that I am seeing on every other channel. I appreciate how you are sharing info because you want to help your viewers save money and live better. Your endings, with the hug and the sweet message is the cherry on top. You never know when someone needs a little kindness and you are there with genuine kindness. A million thanks for all that you do, for sharing your life and for your genuine kind and lovely personality. 💜 Mel
That is probably the nicest reply to a video I’ve ever read! I agree with all of it, well done!
@@robertagannon442 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I love these tips! While house-hunting, I’ve actually passed up homes with outdated cabinetry because of the cost of replacing or the labor involved in painting. The cabinet painting tip is literally going to save me thousands of dollars! Thanks so much! Michelle
which brand of nano bond ??
Yikes, it's good to know there are people who overlook good houses for such trivial reasons.
I 100% agree with this statement
@@lauralaforge558 I know right. I am so tired of people saying that all brown cabinets are outdated, like that is even a valid reason or a reason at all for hating a kitchen or a house. No, they are not dated and no, not everybody wants boring white or gray cabinetry.
@@vaderladyl - The bland neutral cupboards in my kitchen were actually a selling point to me. It's taken me a couple of years to get the feeling of my house, but now I'm cleaning and painting them. The brown was a blank canvas and was nice while I was waiting to decide what I wanted the kitchen to feel like. (The whole house I bought was just a blank, neutral look and that attracted me as I've been able to suit it to me. How hard would it have been to find a house that looked just like I wanted it to?)
I LOVE the fabric art! I was talking about this idea with a friend who is in the process of decorating her daughter's college apartment. ❤️
I used fabric to cover average bulletin board-much more fun now
I love your videos! But wanted to know … do you have lash extensions or are they strips ?
M mmmmm
That last clip with Coper was too cute 🥰
I absolutely love the canvas you covered with beautiful material. Tip for you: put a small padlock on your sewing scissors so they won’t open when little people borrow them. They ruin so easily and are not cheap. Buy lots of safety scissors at back to school sales and put them all over. I mean in every possible location any person might need scissors. I buy cheap canvases and setup up stations with marbles, long strings, hot wheel cars, etc…Recently the boys redecorated their room in black, gray, and red accents. We did several sizes. I let them dry in between colors. Fabulous.
I need this! Thank you!
@@DoItOnaDime sadly these are things I learned the hard way.
If I may ask, how did you incorporate the hot wheels with the canvases? Thanks for sharing your wonderful idea too!
@@jcastro8654 I just let the kids roll the car or truck through a little bit of paint I put on a paper plate and then drive them or push them across the canvas. I let them dip clothesline pieces in cups of paint and then drag the rope across or splat it. I put marbles in the paint on the paper plate and let the kids thump them or use a stick to push them around. I just do one object per canvas. When they were younger I let them dip them dip the top side of Lego’s and stamp that and I let them dip the feet of dollar tree dinosaurs. There are so many things you can do and kids from 2 to 20 have a blast doing it. So do I actually. I have let them make canvas’ and after they are dried I glued a picture or three of the kids on it and then coated it in clear varnish. Grandparents love this. If you do a big one and include all the kids coaches and teachers love this too. Have fun.
I tie a strip of fabric through the handles of my sewing scissors as a visual reminder of what they are for. You could tie them together with a ribbon instead of a lock, if you can trust your kids to get the concept and not untie it.
This is one of my favorite type episodes! The high end art hacks blew my mind! As always, thank you, Kathryn and Charlie, for all you do!
Copper "helping" you was my favorite. 😄 So many good ideas! I was surprised at how great the mop painting looks in the room.
Thanks for the tips, especially the one on cabinet painting. I wanted to paint our kitchen cabinets but didn't want it to turn into a never-ending project. Now there's hope! LoL
I love the shower curtain canvas hack. I've also created quick easy artwork by framing vintage headscarves and tea-towels from charity shops. Sometimes the designs are so pretty they deserve framing!
Anyone else click the “👍🏼” before watching the video? Thanks Kathryn even if I’m not looking for any hacks, your smile and enthusiasm are always a pick-me-up. 🤗
That table-scape is gorgeous! I’m not a creative person at all, but you make it look doable. Going to try these ideas for my son’s rehearsal dinner!
Congrats to your son!! ❤️❤️
I forgot to say I love the the gorgeous table scape and I am sure I will find the hack of the cabinet painting covering in 1-2 coats . You are so informative 👏
That is a wonderful idea! It will look amazing and elegant!
I love the hack for painting cabinets!! I’ll be redoing our kids’ bathroom and don’t want to buy new cabinets. This will work out perfect. Thank you 😍
Our dogs do exactly what Cooper did when we are working on anything! Lol! They are great help when folding laundry and making the bed! They also love to lay on the kitchen floor exactly where we need to go next! Love your videos!
Yess!!! Any time we are on the floor 🤣
Same🐶
My dog does the same but she sits her 83 lb on my feet when I’m cooking,
Cats too! My Odie loves making the bed best of all. 😺♥️🛏❗
Oh man yes! One got herself all wrapped up when I was putting the fitted sheet on! She got so confused!
I love love love the closing statement in all your videos - "If no one has told you today, U R Enough". Such a sucker for that statement and especially on days i feel low and watch your videos, your energy radiates everywhere and that statement literally tears me up. Thank you for being so awesome:)
Just moved to a home built in 1997 - the tip about outlet covers just saved us so much money, time and work! Thank you! (Loved the canvas ideas too!)
That was great hearing about the cabinet paint with nano bond technology. I want to paint some bathroom cabinets but the thought of sanding and priming first makes me procrastinate. This sounds so easy and yours looks great.
I have old panel wood in my kitchen and j want to paint but worried how to paint it.
@@amberallen4181 I used gray wood stain to redo my fake wood kitchen and bathroom cabinets, in my current rental home. I didn't sand or anything, just slapped it on. When I tried to sand one side in the kitchen, it ruined the wood grain look, so I abandoned that idea. Turned out great and the landlord asked me to leave it, and the wall paper, when I move out. That was his way of telling me he liked it. It's also held up extremely well, painted and papered in two days, over two years ago. I used stain from Home Depot.
The fabric art, WOW and the table scape, was beautiful! Love all your idea. I'm going to have to add the wire covers to the to do list
COPPER! What a sweet dog! He just wants to be close to mama! INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW THE PAINT COLOR YOU USED ON YOUR CABINETS!!! It's beautiful & made such a difference! I ❤ your tablescape! Eucalyptus is my favorite to work with! The hurricanes with the floating candles are stunning! I live how creative your mind is, Kathryn!!!!
Painting thrifted decor is one of my favorites!
I love the shower curtain on the canvas idea. I love that I can use a pretty shower curtain as art!
I LOVE the idea of covering or replacing outlet and light switch covers! I read about that this morning on a renter's DIY page. They used 2 methods; buying second-hand covers and painting them, using contact paper or washi tape on current covers, or buying already decorated ones. I love this idea, especially in our living room and hallway that both have multiple switches.
Yes! But I didn't hear where to buy them.
@@kathypadilla507 Same! I was hoping there would be a link to Amazon or some other site for them.
@@Sw33testKiwi your hardware store should carry them
Thank you @Sw33testKiwi
@@asideofaioli4630 Thank you for the info, I’ll definitely be getting these!
Well, now I'm going to have to try a balloon arch again! Good thing I bought the pump!!
Hi, for a balloon arch do you just do half of the balloons small and the other half regular size and rotate on the strip??? I'd love to do baby blue and brown balloon arch for my son's 1st birthday.
I've been looking for a way to paint tile! This is life changing info!
Those outlet covers are genius!!! I can’t believe I didn’t know they were a thing. We bought a 50+ year old lake cottage and every room has different colored outlets. These will be a perfect solution!
I have to let you know - YOU are my favorite "You Tuber" - I am picky about the people I follow and subscribe to --- Thank you for making my days brighter .... I really love your hacks! Please continue doing what you're doing..... It makes a difference and I appreciate --- YOU!
I love your videos, Kathryn. And Copper has such expressive eyes. You can almost tell what he's thinking. So sweet. God bless sweet friend
I love the idea about painting kitchen cabinets - where can I buy that paint from?
The best thing about Do it on a Dime, is you! I love to watch your videos just for your energy and positivity. Thanks for these decor hacks!
Great ideas! I love seeing Copper being right in the middle of your canvas project 😁
As I prepare for a move in the near future, it excites me to think I can do fairly simple things at a low cost as I organize my new space. Thank you Katherine.
I made your wreath using the fence pieces from DT. I love it and have received lots of compliments. I always tell them to follow you on here.
Great hacks! I’ve done the canvas hack. I also used a tablecloth to cover a bench that I bought twenty plus years ago. 🤣 I’ve changed the fabric out many times. It’s a great way to redecorate on a budget. I use the leftover fabric to cover small pillows. I’m definitely going to try and paint my bathroom cabinets. Thanks for all you share!
I like that with the canvas you can use any fabric you like, have a scrap of, from Grandma's treasures, etc. Also the balloon strip is very easy rather than wrestling with tying.
I've been doing the material and paint over cheap canvases for 25+ years.. Love it👍.. Looks good, is individual and it is easy to change up when you get bored of the picture or your style/interior changes. Also been doing the stones, plants and floating candles in little vases for years👍.. I did it first for my wedding tables in 2003 and then for my friends tables at her wedding in 2005! Love how it looks👍.. I change up for seasons eg winter.. Pine cones, conifer sprig and Holly leaves and berries.. Great for Christmas🌲👍. Great ideas Kathryn 👍 and love your positive energy as always 😊.
I really love the tablescape with the eucalyptus leaves…many years ago I realized I oughta start using the free greenery from my yard instead of buying flowers and I work with that all the time. I might stick a flower or two in there although I usually go with wires of beads and buttons or even just some ribbon shooting out the top.
I'm loving the wire shelf idea. That seems like a great & easy project for a big wow!
Thanks for the paint tip !! Gunna look for Nano technology now! And you could us the left over shower curtin for matching pillows!
The brand is Beyond Paint in the color Pewter!
I love how your pupper was helping you at the end. The goodest boy.
Thank you for being real . Your cafts and ideas are so easy to do and able to accomplish. Your ex room is in all homes . Your so happy in your articles. Love this stuff.
All great ideas!! I recommend spraying the fabric on the canvas with a clear coat of $11 CA for a can of spray paint. You can also get it in I’ve protectant. So it won’t fade☺️
Love the idea of painting without sanding for my kitchen. Great video
The table scape is so so simple and so elegant. Thank you for sharing.
My own home decor hack: use an old baking sheet (the more “seasoned” looking, the better), get a cheap but pretty placemat (I found a beautiful one at Walmart with flowers and a bicycle on it), cut the placemat to fit snuggly inside the baking sheet. Use hot glue to secure. Hang up on the wall in your kitchen using command strips and it looks like vintage kitchen art! So pretty! Wish I could show you a pic of mine!
I wish they could add that feature! Love that!
great idea!
Make a little video and link the comment? I want to see it too! :)
@@bethc8809 I will! Thank you!
I’ve done the shower curtain/picture trick, but I just bought a few 1 X 2’s and had them cut it to size at Home Depot. I screwed it together and then it was exactly the size to fit the area I wanted. Thanks for all the great ideas!! ❤️
Loved this video!! The shower curtain canvas is genius & so pretty!! The table scape was beautiful!! Will be using the tip on painting cabinets!! Awesome!! 💖😊💃
Oh and covering those wire shelves is a MUST in my new hall closet, as I currently have bins on the shelves but things get messy fast!
Love love ❤️ love your ideas. I am excited to try the shower curtain canvas hack. Love the tablescape too!
Just love you Kathryn! Love how you make us feel like we can do hard things, easily!
Kathryn, you are so creative but I love that you explain step by step and you make the rest of us feel confident that we can do it. I've tried so many of your tips and they work just like you said they would. Thank you!
I love what you did in the first one so much!! 😍😍
Was that a shower curtain?!
That is my shower curtain! I themed my guest bathroom from those colors and birds.
Where did you get that shower curtain??
@@EweTube4 where did you get it??
Love the canvas and shower curtain hack!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love all ur videos. Look forward to watching them all! 😍😁
Luv the fabric art!!!! A team did this on HGTV’s Battle on the Beach! The tablescape was gorgeous! I’m going to try the bathroom cabinet paint hack!
Loved the succulents with floating candles!! Beautiful. Entire table. Great job. Looking forward to recreating!! Thank you!!
You have the BEST ideas!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the succulents in the vase with the candle floating over it! Wow! Also what was the brand of the paint you were using (the one you used on the cabinets)- such a good idea! All are fantastic ideas!
Yes! Mop artwork ?! Turned out great. That paint for the cabinets does do the trick..def right about not skipping the bumpers! Oh my gosh..love the tablescape.
Wow I love this! Especially the fabric on canvas&nano paint hacks. Thanks!
I love all these ideas! I want to paint my kitchen cabinets and using this type of paint will work beautifully 😃 Now i just need to decide on a color 🤔 I also love the tapestry that was in the first project…it became such an awesome piece of art. I’ll use the table settings ideas when I host my book club. Lots of great ideas!
Yay, thank you so much good luck with painting!
Where do you find the nano bond paint? Great ideas!
The table scape was my favorite. You can change the greenery for holidays or different occasions.
Thank you so much for this Kathryn!! The paint tip was a definite need to know for when my man and I move into our first home.
EVRYTIME I am amazed at all the clever tips,tricks and ideas you give us!They are SO clever,easy and inexpensive.Probably will try them all!And of course we love when Copper helps you too!Thanks for sharing💕
So many great ideas, as always, and I love your tablescape, so fun! :)
Iove them all!! My daughter n grand daughters has made a balloon arch an put it in their apartment over their windows. So adorable.
Oh, sweet doggy. And you were talking to him the way I talk to my cat. The love is evident.
Thank you for the great video! I love your DIY ideas...and I really like your supervisor! Copper is adorable. ♥️
I just love watching your videos very inspiring and helpful. I made a picture using a shower curtain and I must say, got a lot of compliments ☺️ I love taking something old or used and making it look different 👍🏾👍🏾 thank you for sharing this information with us 😊
I loved the first 2 art works you did! I’m copying them this week!!!
The table scape is so beautiful!! Thanks for all the hacks!!
Thanks for the tip on cabinet paint. My kitchen is way past overdue for an update!
That shower curtain picture hack is perfect, guess you could also use scrap pieces from a fabric store! 😀. Thanks for all the ideas!
You can always thrift material too. I look at clothing that have interesting patterns that can " grow up" to be something else. Look at long dresses and sheets as material now.
I did not know I could replace the dingy covers on my light switches! Thanks for letting us know this hack -
It’s a game changer good luck!!! ❤️
Where did you get yours, Kathryn, it will be greatly appreciate if you could share with us thanks.
I have had WONDERFUL experience with”Better than paint” and it’s self leveling. It just has it all. Have a blessed day.
I love all of your videos but mostly, I just love to hear you talk. Your passion for life shines through in every video. Please keep spreading joy! You do it so very well. 🌻
I have been watching from the UK since your first video Katherine and I was just thinking how far you have come. Another fantastic group of ideas. God bless 😊✝️💕
The outlets were the first things we did at our new house ☺️ those covers save so much time 🙏🏼
I love the table scape! So beautiful and easy!!
My favorite part was watching your doggo help you. LOL. Actually I really liked the table scape. Beautiful
Thanks for the tip on painting tile I did my parents bathroom and now I know what I did wrong. I never sealed it so it didn’t last long before peeling. Now I can redo it with your great tip 👍🏻 Thanks so much💕
Love your vlogs your such an amazing mama and a beautiful human thank you for all your awesome ideas! ❤️
I have always been a diy home decor junkie. I absolutely love your ideas. Inspires more beautiful creations. Thank you! 😊
Newbie here, but I'm so glad I found you! We bought an old farm style house in December and I have decorated some but the actual " farmhouse" decor is so expensive. So many of your ideas and hacks have helped me so much! Thank you!!
That table scape is next level would be outstanding for a wedding.
❤️❤️
Hi I have a question, I love how you updated the outlets with new covers, but how did you change the color of the plug receiver from beige to white? I love your ideas!!
No! That’s the beauty of this one- you didn’t need an electrician, it just covers as one large unit. Hope that helps!
@@DoItOnaDime where are they available? Is there a special name to search for them? I neeeeeed this in my life lol
I love the canvas idea! My favorite is the kitchen cabinet upgrade and the tile makeover 🌻😁 so useful and budget friendly- thank you bunches and I hope you have an amazing day 🌻🌻
Love the tablescape - so elegant!
I absolutely love these videos 💜
I love them all ideas! Thank u for sharing! Keep it up! You r enough! ❤❤🥰🕊God bless you!
The ballon decor was so nice!! My son will be coming home on leave( he just got back from Romania) and ai want to make the best welcome home experience I can. We moved states since he left and he’s never even seen the house. That will be a great way for some red, white and blue plus I know my grandson will love popping them and driving us crazy afterwards💖💖
I loved the canvas artwork and tablescape. You are so talented! I loved it all even the painting. Thank you for all that you do.
Lol Copper a sweet helper no worries I have a furbaby helper too! I love the ideas and I'm going to try the balloons and the cloth over the board I think that was Cooper favorite 😍 🤣
😆
Anybody else experience a twinge of anxiety at 4:47 when Copper's tail wagged near the wet paint on the cabinet door?! 😬🐶🖌️
I did not realize that the things that you show in Dollar Tree in the US would actually be available in the Dollar Tree in Canada! I swear to God I watched a bunch of your videos and I saw some stuff that I thought was really cool and I literally left work went to the Dollar Tree and Cold Lake Alberta Canada and I found the same stuff! I hear what you're saying there's going to be times where there's going to be a rush on stuff but I just wanted to say to all of those who think that you are a privileged member of the Dollar Tree tribe, that it is totally incredible that the things you are seeing down there literally plates and everything are up here! Talk about continuity! I completely passed your videos on to a couple of friends thanks so much! You keep doing you! And thanks so much for all the things that you share! You my darling friend are more than enough!
Omg I’m so glad I seen this video! I have been trying to figure out how to cover our yellow light switches and outlets! Thank you!
