You can get the same pottery effect by adding baking soda to any other earth-tone paints! Looks fabulous with nudes, warm oranges and pinks, and it's a great option if you already own paint.
Drew! I have a tip: when you’re doing tedious wrapping with the macrame cord like on the basket light in this video, try wrapping the excess cord into a little oval (like you would wrap up headphone cords) so you don’t have to pull the whole long thread all the way through the hole every single time. It’s a time saver :)
It seems like you are growing more comfortable with yourself and work. The way you speak and carry yourself in this video is so much more natural than previous ones! This video is a BANGER.
I’m absolutely obsessed with the pendant light, it looks so chic and expensive, not at all like a plastic laundry basket! My only concern is, will the plastic start melting over time because of the heat generated by the light bulb?
Nearly all plastics on the market are PET (aka polyester); they're molded into that basket shape using heat and also recycled using heat, so not only are they designed to hold up to pretty hot stuff regularly to avoid that melty process (polyesters hold up excellently in dryers and dishwashers, etc).. if they do actually melt, they're safe and designed exactly to do so. Unless the light is actually touching the plastic, I highly doubt it would melt it.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these projects! Easy. No major skilled needed. I can see the light fixture in unlimited variations. The terracotta is FABULOUS! And the dog toy transformation is simply genious! Great creativity! 👍👍👍
My mind is blown! I use color of terracotta all through my home, so this paint is such a find for me. Just like finding the Gorilla glue sticks from watching your channel!😱❤
People who truly have a passion for design can find beauty in everything! I'm so happy I started following you! You motivate me to work towards my design goals! Love itt thank uuuuu
I saw someone make a similar pendant light out of a metal garden basket type thing but without the wrap. I think using that and adding your macrame wrap would be so good! That terracotta spray completely changed those vases for the better as well. Thanks so much for the video!
Hi LF love your show just wanted to share my fave tip when recycling candles, I usually didn’t burn them because I didn’t like the scent, sooo , what I do it I add some of my fave oil, lavender, cedar wood, whatever. It totally kills the old scent! Hope you like it❤️ Branwen from Vancouver
OKAY I SEE YOU with the bright ideas! These were all so good babes! Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could mass produce your creations? That would be a dream come true ✨
Your imagination is endless -- thank you for sharing your ideas with us. I recently found the chain on clearance for $10 that was chipped so repainted and is now displayed. With the Rustoelum and Krylon spray paints, I learned that spraying downward lessens the effect of the metallic paints. Now I paint holding the can upright as much as possible.
These were such fun projects. Looked like what you had were possibly garden snips, used to cut small branches or thick stems. I like to use a pair of tin snips made to cut thin gauge metal like galvanized tin. You could have fun with those altering some dollar store tin items. That basket lamp was fabulous!
I love the chain. I am so going to do this. I think in Gold. Or maybe do a fast dip in a container with water and nail polish to give it a marble look. Let it dry then spray to a high gloss. Might work? I need to think on that. Thanks for the great ideas.
Very nice! A light that size is about $300 at places like PB, Anthro, UO, etc. I’m loving everything you’re doing in your new space. I’m really excited to see what you do to your and your roommate’s bedrooms!
Love all of these! Gonna make that dog toy chain for sure! Also love that you visited Wilmington NC, I live about an hour from there and absolutely love it 😍
I’m amazed by these projects with items from the dollar store. I can’t beleive how you transformed the basket. Now I want to decorate a basket like that even without using it as a pendant light 😍
Your terra-cotta paint made me remember an old trick from my florist days. We used to make sand paint. You can use it to make things look like stone or concrete. Love your videos!!
I love the light!!! It makes me think of all the different things you can do to it to change its look over time. You can change the cord color at the bottom, add tassels, weave in different ways through it. I'm definitely going to try this. I'm new to your channel and looking foward to more from your channel.
HOW CAN YOU BE SOOO CREATIVE? LIKE THE LAUNDRY BASKET LAMP? Such a lifesaver for my wallet!! I absolutely loved everything! I hope I can find that chainlink toy and terra-cotta spray in the Netherlands since we don’t have a dollar store. Loved everything!!
I have a Rust-Oleum spray paint that color I've had forever and finally used it a couple weeks ago and was blown away!! Made cheap plastic planters look expensive. I gotta try the one you used though...the texture!!
We have been looking for metal cage lightshades but they are all so expensive. So THANK YOU so much! We love watching your videos to get inspiration for our new home
So I had an idea for the macrame frame. After gluing down the top and bottom, you can glue down the two sides but leave some loose string at the ends. Bring those loose strings up and use it as a cute way to hang it on the wall.
THIS GUY IS A GENIUS!! Omg he is so creative and all of his diys never fail to impress me!!!!! He made a cheap laundry basket into a beautiful light! How?!?!!!😱😱
I must admit I was skeptical about the dog toy chain. But it turned out to be my fave! It even looks heavy. I think combining the chain DIY with the light fixture one in some sort of way could look great 😍
I am from Wilmington, NC. My husband and I own a restaurant and used to cater for OTH. The cast is so lovely! If you ever come back to Wilmington, I am a pretty good tour guide! Love the video!
Thanks for the great DIY ideas. I made the chain links for my Industrial living room. They are drying and I am not sure what color I am going to paint them yet. I couldn't find the dog toys, so I bought thick rope and taped the ends together, and it worked great.
I'm picturing using the terracotta spray paint on each of the DIYs from the video - could be cool! kind of like "will it blend?" but instead, "will it terracotta?"
Buying that terra-cotta spray immediately 🙋🏻♀️
Same💕
It is amazing!
Yassssss
You can get the same pottery effect by adding baking soda to any other earth-tone paints! Looks fabulous with nudes, warm oranges and pinks, and it's a great option if you already own paint.
SAME!!!
The light fixture is so FAB. Especially considering those get really pricey when you buy them regular retail
Drew! I have a tip: when you’re doing tedious wrapping with the macrame cord like on the basket light in this video, try wrapping the excess cord into a little oval (like you would wrap up headphone cords) so you don’t have to pull the whole long thread all the way through the hole every single time.

Huh a diyer helping a diyer to diy easier with diys.
Mia lee, you explained this helpful hint so well. 👍🏻. It’s nice to see advice in a kind way ❤️. I will try this with Xmas lights...lol 😊
Or use the end and weave it in and out until you get 5-6 squares then pull thru
Drew can make anything look good, even things from the dollar store
That terra-cotta spray is SO GOOD
OMG the terracotta spray and the light fixture. I'm living.
I would never look at a laundry basket the same ever again. Loved all your creativity. ❤
😂😂😂
I liked this comment before even getting to that part of the video because I already know I'm going to feel the same 🤷♀️
It seems like you are growing more comfortable with yourself and work. The way you speak and carry yourself in this video is so much more natural than previous ones! This video is a BANGER.
Like how you take Dollar Tree DIY's to a higher level - they always look nice.
I'm 40 and finally got to go to Wilmington this past October. It was beautiful and so fun to drive around to all the OTH places.
I’m absolutely obsessed with the pendant light, it looks so chic and expensive, not at all like a plastic laundry basket! My only concern is, will the plastic start melting over time because of the heat generated by the light bulb?
Led bulb would solve that problem
Nearly all plastics on the market are PET (aka polyester); they're molded into that basket shape using heat and also recycled using heat, so not only are they designed to hold up to pretty hot stuff regularly to avoid that melty process (polyesters hold up excellently in dryers and dishwashers, etc).. if they do actually melt, they're safe and designed exactly to do so. Unless the light is actually touching the plastic, I highly doubt it would melt it.
OMG that light fixture is everything! Impressed on how something simple can be turn into something so fabulous!
Love the pendant light 😭🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍I’m recreating that for sure
the pendant light was my fav..
That plastic hamper pendant light was BRILLIANT! That alone was worth watching this video. So cool.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these projects! Easy. No major skilled needed. I can see the light fixture in unlimited variations. The terracotta is FABULOUS! And the dog toy transformation is simply genious! Great creativity! 👍👍👍

Stunning pieces! It's really amazing how you transform simple objects into sophisticated decor pieces! I really love your ideas and videos!

Love the diys ! Especially loving the light fixture & the vases ! The vases really look like terra cotta !!

That basket light AMAZING idea !!! Even use it as a basket but customize macrame colors around 2 your own decor ... love this 😀
I'm convinced there's nothing you can't make look aesthetic! Always so good!
OKAY I SEE YOU with the bright ideas! These were all so good babes! Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could mass produce your creations? That would be a dream come true ✨
That would honestly be a dream! One day :)

That pendant was gorgeous. I've also just moved but I'm still debating on what to do to my room. But you are giving me ideas of what to do. Thanks:)

You win with the marble look!
I say do it!...$tore basket and 💅 it's a no brainer. That's a great idea.
Well, you know what I mean. I thought you meant the light at first. But the chain too!
I imagined the same thing, but my lazy self told me to wait till halloween and buy those chain props.
1) The second I saw your shirt I gasped
2) I literally bought terra cotta spray paint YESTERDAY
That light looks like it’s meant to be! I would buy that light. I like the repurposing!
The hamper is sooo clever! And like the black with the pop of neutral/texture👌🏾
Loved them!! So cool
Ghorl it's 3:55 am here in the Philippines and uhm... Yeah just watching this
HAHA! Thank you for the support!
Morning
@@lonefox Very much welcomeee! Patiently waiting for the Living room and Bedroom make over! 😊❤
@@lonefox another fan from the Philippines!
Never would have guessed the pendant lamp began life as a laundry basket!!! ❤️ 💕❤️❣️
Terracotta spray paint is genius!!! Love your channel
You know Drew has moved closer to Macenna when he starts making pendant lights from utterly random things 😅
Pretty much thinking the exact same thing 😂
Lol so true!!
Sorry, but what’s Maceena?
Grace Ritenour Aw. Thank you for responding!! 🌸
I NEED THIS SHIRT 😍😍😍
It is honestly one of my favorite shirts!
Love the lamp. Looks so classy and not plastic at all!
Very nice! A light that size is about $300 at places like PB, Anthro, UO, etc. I’m loving everything you’re doing in your new space. I’m really excited to see what you do to your and your roommate’s bedrooms!
Love all of these! Gonna make that dog toy chain for sure! Also love that you visited Wilmington NC, I live about an hour from there and absolutely love it 😍
That light was an amazing idea! If a person had absolutely no money that would b a great light for them. Karen Florida
So happy about the terra-cotta spray paint! Can finally reuse my nursery pots in style around the apartment!
I’m amazed by these projects with items from the dollar store. I can’t beleive how you transformed the basket. Now I want to decorate a basket like that even without using it as a pendant light 😍
Imagine getting a heart from Drew💗
If you’re early, chances are you’ll get one.💕
Here's a bonus one: ❤
My mouth literally dropped when Drew asked where the One Tree Hill fans were... I knew I subscribed for a reason
All of those ideas were great! The chain looked like powder coated, hand-forged iron!
Your terra-cotta paint made me remember an old trick from my florist days. We used to make sand paint. You can use it to make things look like stone or concrete. Love your videos!!
Me *runs to Drew wearing a frog suit*: help
Drew *turns me into a princess*
You're a genius! xx
🐸=🌈
Everytime I see a DIY pendant light I think of XO, Macenna 😂😂
Omg that basket pendant light!!!!! I'm definitely trying it and I'd prefer to see the macrame entirely covering it! So beautiful
That light...is EVERYTHING!!!💕👍🏾
Omgosh no you didn’t make those chain links out of a Dog 🐕 Toy!!!! I love you!!!!! ✌🏼
You always remind me of Adam Lambert. You both are super handsome 💗
I was WONDERING about the familiarity...u nailed it! 👍
Love them all but cannot get over that laundry basket/ light shade!
Your talent is unmatched!! You make everything look 10x more expensive
Drew : “It’s a women shirt”
Me : Drew is so adorable and sweet, I really respect him.
can't stop laughing at the retail price of those chain link decor examples lmaooooo
Mad what people are prepared to pay for something just because it's 'trendy' 😂
That terracotta paint really transformed those vases and dish! Crazy what a little paint can do! 👍
Right!
I love the light!!! It makes me think of all the different things you can do to it to change its look over time. You can change the cord color at the bottom, add tassels, weave in different ways through it. I'm definitely going to try this. I'm new to your channel and looking foward to more from your channel.
never been this early!! 😍
Thank You!
me too!😍
Same! So happy to see he uploaded :))
Not gonna lie, when I spray paint, it ALWAYS drips.
Always!
Me too. I get my husband to do my spray painting. I tried to spray a shower caddy and flower pot for an upgraded look and hello drippy!
I think if it is dripping you are spraying too close
Dripping happens when you spray to close or to much at once on one area
You're too close or staying in one section for too long. Keep it moving, don't stop in one spot, give at least a foot of space.
Wow that pendant light is amazing! Love the terra cotta spray paint project, too.
That terracotta spraypaint... i'm mindblown !!!
HOW CAN YOU BE SOOO CREATIVE? LIKE THE LAUNDRY BASKET LAMP? Such a lifesaver for my wallet!! I absolutely loved everything! I hope I can find that chainlink toy and terra-cotta spray in the Netherlands since we don’t have a dollar store. Loved everything!!
The pendant light is everything!
You saved the best project for last! Love the lighting fixture.
I have a Rust-Oleum spray paint that color I've had forever and finally used it a couple weeks ago and was blown away!! Made cheap plastic planters look expensive. I gotta try the one you used though...the texture!!
OMG THAT LIGHT! That is genius and gorgeous. Amazing job!
I looove that you uses everything you DIY into your room or whatever room it is!! 😍😍
I’m OBSESSED with that terracotta paint!!! GAWD
Woah that plastic basket turned into such a cool light fixture!! Genius.
All of your Dollar Tree DIY’s are original and look high-end, not cookie cutter. Good job!
That light fixture is a must. Definitely making that. Thank you! 😍❤️
Love the pendant light. So neat looking and wow the terracotta paint spray was a game changer
We have been looking for metal cage lightshades but they are all so expensive. So THANK YOU so much! We love watching your videos to get inspiration for our new home

Wow! Love that terracotta paint and the cage light came out stunning!!
That light was game changing!!!!
I must admit I was skeptical about the dog toy chain. But it turned out to be my fave! It even looks heavy. I think combining the chain DIY with the light fixture one in some sort of way could look great 😍
Holy Smokes! that basket and the terra cotta paint! Winners.
Love the basket light fixture. Innovative yet cool!
My favs are the macreme frame and the cage light. Insane how you made that light!
I love all of your projects and thank you for explaining the macramé so clearly. I actually think I will be able to follow your instructions! 👍🏻👍🏻
I am from Wilmington, NC. My husband and I own a restaurant and used to cater for OTH. The cast is so lovely! If you ever come back to Wilmington, I am a pretty good tour guide! Love the video!
Love the terracota spray!!! Light fixture is so pretty!!!
Thanks once again for your time and talent. You keep us busy!
One tree hill is EVERYTHING!!
Literally HOW does the cage light look soooooo good!!?!?!?
Love the light shade!! Such a great idea super cheap and easy!
That nightstand behind you is SO pretty !
The light turned out gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing..
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the great DIY ideas. I made the chain links for my Industrial living room. They are drying and I am not sure what color I am going to paint them yet. I couldn't find the dog toys, so I bought thick rope and taped the ends together, and it worked great.
Waking up to a new video of Drew is a good way to start the day! (Different time zone, European fan here!) ✨✨
So impressed when light fixture! 👏🏼
When working with long strands of thtead or yarn....make a bobbin out it! Soooo very easy to work with.
I'm picturing using the terracotta spray paint on each of the DIYs from the video - could be cool! kind of like "will it blend?" but instead, "will it terracotta?"
I love your room, so light and airy 🥰.
