    Hey guys! Quick tip for making use of the flimsier cardboard: when layering/stacking to make a thicker board, alternate the grain for more strength 👌🏾

    • @tinalemac
      @tinalemac  Před 2 lety +9

      Thank you for sharing this tip!! Definitely going to do this next time 😇

    I love the cardboard DIYs because not only are they sustainable, cardboard is so easy to get ahold of! Would love to see some DIY projects upcycling cereal boxes, Pringle cans, etc., too, if you ever get the chance!

    Cardboard hoarders unite 🙋🏽‍♀️😂The arch shelf is amazing. 😌 Who knew cardboard could be used to create beautiful pieces like this? The bookends are lovely. Such fun projects. Well done, Tina!

    • @tinalemac
      @tinalemac  Před 2 lety +3

      My brain is spinning with even more ideas for future cardboard DIYs 😍😍 Thanks for the love always, Zoey 💛

    I love your cardboard diys!
    We are ex-pats living on Mahe island, Seychelles.
    Everything is so expensive here so I do not want to buy decor items just to leave them after two years, we also believe in sustainability that said I also want my rental house to feel like home.
    This rental house is a bit of a hot mess - little weird nails in between tiles in the bathroom, unfinished crown molding, weirdly placed aircons! It is also fully furnished with old broken furniture...it adds charm...
    But you are such an inspiration I getting all my plans ready to at least make it feel like our home.

  • @veebeewai
    @veebeewai Před 2 lety +1

    Girl, you're that person that looks at something expensive and go "I can make that." and actually making it and doing it well! lol
    We just moved into our first house too earlier this month but unfortunately (or fortunately?) it's a new construction so there's not much to change up for now. But these little diy decor ideas are great and inexpensive. I'm a bit upset that hubby already threw away some nice cardboard that could be used for these projects, but you can always find it anywhere. Thanks for the inspiration, glad I found your channel!

  • @veronicam.hernandez5351
    @veronicam.hernandez5351 Před 2 lety +5

    The arch would make a great place to put your sunglasses and maybe keys by a door. The book ends look high end. Great job! I love all your diys.

  • @djsabin9346
    @djsabin9346 Před 2 lety

    Suggestion...
    Plaster of Paris.
    Smooth to pour.
    Self Leveling in molds. (Still need to tap out air bubbles)
    Light weight over cardboard molds. Cement/Ceramic/stone finish.
    Easy to tint/color.
    Hope to see what you create with it.
    Live the Dream!

  • @ktjurns
    @ktjurns Před 2 lety +7

    Love the idea of using the cardboard as a mold. I wasn’t sure about it, but it looked great. The bookends also really looked like Mt. Fuji to me 😁

  • @nikkifergusson2767
    @nikkifergusson2767 Před 2 lety +2

    When layering corrugated cardboard (the cardboard in the arch bookshelf), do the first piece with corrugations running horizontal and the next layer have the corrugations running vertical it gives the project added strength.

  • @Gizemince
    @Gizemince Před 2 lety +3

    This is exactly the type of DIYs I love love love seeing! More videos like this!

  • @carliem9494
    @carliem9494 Před 2 lety +5

    To minimise bubbles when pouring cement into moulds, try vibrating them with a sander (stand the mould on a suspended piece of wood with the sander against it - doesn’t need to be free suspension, just enough to ensure it’s not completely supported by a flat surface, a couple of bricks will do)

    • @balkrishnaparab3353
      @balkrishnaparab3353 Před 2 lety +1

      What cement should be used? Would it help if we insert some sticks while pouring the cement?

  • @littlestenographer
    @littlestenographer Před 2 lety +2

    The texture that the cardboard adds to the bookends is awesome

  • @ashleyrose1840
    @ashleyrose1840 Před 2 lety

    I love projects like these, that are functional for your home but also using materials that you’d otherwise just throw away or recycle. It’s really cool to see you finding a use for them.

  • @janeisabella2185
    @janeisabella2185 Před 2 lety

    Quick tip: cut out slits on one (usually the outer) side of the cardboard for a cleaner and smoother curve! it looks like a lot of work but it makes a visible difference!

  • @marymik7372
    @marymik7372 Před 2 lety +4

    @leslie-reagan5219 Před 2 lety

    These were great! I try to make my son something for Christmas each year- his favorite past time is snowboarding in Colorado- so I’m going to make those bookends using the color tones of the Colorado Rockies starting with white and going down- using some of his photos for reference. I know he will love these! Thank you for the great inspiration and demonstration. Thanks to Amazon Prime I have a TON of cardboard sitting around. Great channel, ideas and explanations!

  • @dmckim3174
    @dmckim3174 Před 2 lety

    Hey Tina, FYI you can also use paper medical tape from your first aid kit in a pinch. If you use it, the adhesive is incredibly strong (got the idea after seeing how difficult it is to remove from skin). The paper is also very porous, so it will soak up other adhesive, paint, paper mache etc... There is another medical tape that is more of a cloth and would likely repel most of those materials, it is also thicker.
    I throw my paper medical tape into my craft stuff because the adhesive can start to break down after a year and be a bit less effective on skin, plus the sides just gather germs. It sill holds like super glue, just sometimes doesn't stick to skin so well due to the oils.

  • @calhounac76
    @calhounac76 Před 2 lety +1

I’ve been making diy videos for a while but I know there is still so much to learn. I have been wanting to recreating high end stores items but haven’t yet. I love the idea of making dupes on a budget. I’m happy to come across a talented creator like you. I’d really love to learn more from each other.
