    Awesome, thorough crafting tips, Brandi! Thank you for such useful information!
    I will never forget my very 1st DIY, making an Easter sign, with the bunny glued to the sign, using DT's pretty black and white contact paper, a collar with a cuuute first bow, and little red flowers between the ears, the 9!!! I was proud as a mutha, "Look at my first baby (sign), I made this!", and I hung my pride on the front door! Well, no one EVER mentioned that hot glue melts in the sun. About an hour later, I opened the door to take a picture of it, and the flowers were hanging on a strand (glue strand), some were stuck to the door, and the bow was on the floor!!! I ran out the front and back doors, looking for the neighborhood kids, yelling out "Who touched my bunny?" thinking the kids did it! THEN I realized the strand was hot glue bc it kept melting as I searched for the bunny killa! Well, no one ever mentioned that hot glue melts in the sun, so I had to find out on my own! I am STILL having flashbacks from the embarrassment, even as I share this story!😡🥹🫠
    The End!😂😂😂😂

      @traceydunlap I'm laughing with you..lol
      It's true it really is. My mom worked at a warehouse when I was young making wreaths for the department stores and floral arrangements. She told me years ago about this. But, then I started watching CZcams and no one ever mentioned it. So crafting away I went and darn if I wasn't having stuff just melt off. She was like what u tell you. I said but they never mentioned it, I made it like they did it. She said WHAT DID I SAY..lol so I started looking more in to those things. And, it was incidents like this that lead me to what this channel has turned into. Because, I want people to have confidence in whatever they are making.

So i watch silently, i have a brain compression from all the siezures I've had since 6th grade and it had caused me to have memory issues forgetfulness. So i always forget to go back and comment. i had to stop what i was doing today sir down get on my phone finish watching your video and comment comment today! And will start commenting from now on I'll make a point to! First off i just love you! You are my favorite crafter! I can't wait for your nectar video to air! Today's video was such great topics! Things not many craters actually go into great depth about i loved how you showed in the store cheaper products for people that maybe can't aford the bigger packs or certain brands i loved how you showed your favorite brands what you use why you use them you were very Thorough There are definitely some brands.I want to try out now.Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day for putting this video out for us.The information that you gave us! Question mark you're awesome.Exclamation mark and I definitely think you should name the stapler! 😂🦋🙏

      I'm so glad the video helped!! I think all to much as crafters we just want to show pretty things. And, sometimes the constructive serious aspect of making quality items and how and why gets lost in the *** too look it's shiny***...lol
      I just want to help people NOT struggle. And, know it's OK if they are
