You guys KNOW that TikTok is crawling with amazing DIY's that we are always wanting to try ourselves, so we thought it was time for another testing viral TikTok video! In this video, we'll be trying out some of the most popular DIY wall art trends, including creating an mirror frame using paper mache, the classic fabric that's been dipped in plaster draped over a canvas, and testing one of our own, adding texture to an existing art print to make it look like an oil painting. You'll see firsthand how easy or challenging each DIY is and whether it's worth trying at home.

Please, I beg of you all: wear respirators/masks when working with any ‘man made’ stone/clay/plaster art medium that particulates, is powdery or crumbles when handled. Any powdered plaster products have the potential to contain fine silica dust, known as respirable crystalline silica (RCS) which is incredibly dangerous when inhaled. In the extreme, it can also lead to serious lung diseases, including fibrosis, silicosis, COPD and lung cancer. From “Breathe Freely Australia”: plastering materials contain composites, such as calcium sulphate hemihydrate, limestone and clays, small amounts of silica and mica, and sometimes hydrated lime. Inhalation of dust from these materials can lead to respiratory complaints and potentially serious diseases in the long term. 🌻 DIY safe my loves xo 🌻
It makes me so sad that you guys did the whole new office with the beautiful backgrounds but we never see them because you never film in studio together anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the home makeover videos you guys do. And Rachel being added to the regular content is amazing, but I would love to see the dynamic more between all 3 personalities in more like diy challenges or thrift flips- heck even that cost how much with you 3 competing or even just working together and playing off of one another. Rachel, as always this video is great and you really bring so much to the channel. I just sometimes miss seeing the friendship of you guys that made these videos so nice to watch.
I've been wondering how Kelsey is doing! We haven't seen her in a month!
@@Lasomie yea, i have tried to look and see if there is like a schedule to the videos, because I think I remember them saying something along the lines of all three ladies doing a solo video a month and then one collaborative style video, but since the pandemic really there have been hardly any true collaboration style videos. We don’t even really see them thrift shopping together anymore or anything. I know their business has expanded in recent years, but it is just odd to me that they put Rachel into a new spot on the channel and didn’t really say anything else about it. I mean it was a lovely addition bc she is great, but the content kind of shifted and they haven’t addressed it to my knowledge.
Yes! I would also like to see them more together! They’re probably spending lots of time working on their own houses.
I couldn’t agree more! Part of what I love about this channel was watching the three of them work together in videos. I love the addition of Rachel but honestly at this point I’m wondering why Rachel just doesn’t make her own channel - the collaboration from Kelsey and Becca just isn’t there. I hope changes are made soon!
@@Lasomiein regards to Kelsey she may be dealing with health issues or family issues or maybe some other things we don’t know. Hope she is doing well but yeah could be something more than just house Reno.
I studied painting: You do not need expensive Gesso to cover an old painting for such a project. You need Gesso so that oil paint and high quality professional acrylic paint sticks to the canvas for ever and ever. For your project cheap acrylic white paint or even wall paint would have been enough.
How would such paint dry transparent? She just added a transparent layer of structure, didn't she?
@@janarichter-duster9622 this person is talking about the plaster project (covering the thrifted canvases) 😉 And I agree! No need for gesso
Also, I found several new 36x36 canvases in the $20-$25 range. I'm in the US, so maybe that's the difference. 🤷🏼♀️
I agree on this, but instead of white paint (which covers up the painting), just use cheap homemade (or store bought) decoupage solution. I did this same technique way back in the 90's (before y'all knew DIY was so cool) :-D
@@ifinicle some people who do this fabric technique don't cover the whole canvas with the fabric, so they have to paint the canvas if they use an old painting. They could also use a new canvas or any other piece of board, most likely. The first comment was about the first project, not the last project. I hope that makes sense.
They all came out beautifully but ✨Y’ALL if you try this PLEASE at the very least wear a dust mask if not a respirator when mixing plaster/joint compound, etc✨ I’ve seen so many CZcamsrs lately doing similar DIYs and haven’t seen anyone wear one or even mention it. There’s no such thing as minor exposure and you can absolutely wreck your health permanently with the right circumstances even one time. Absolutely zero shade, it’s just stressful to see such an uptick in projects with consequences people (incl the creators) might not know about if proper precautions aren’t taken
Thank you for opening our eyes to this hazard 🙏 most of us are experimenting with products and techniques we've never used before and it would have never occurred to us. We need to get the word out 💞
@@el-can of course! I’m speaking from experience because I’ve taken risks I didn’t know about too (even as someone with a risk engineer parent lol)… I hope it’s something that gets mentioned in future videos, unfortunately you can’t really be too clear/obvious in instructions bc sometimes the people watching simply don’t know/don’t think about it. It’s an honest mistake for a beginner but (w/ peace and love) influencers imo have a duty to talk about and demonstrate the safety instructions especially when something is presented in a DIY way.
Good luck in all your crafting! I always say “there’s nothing you can’t do as long as you use protection” 😇😂😂💀
I watch so many DIYers and even though I love their content I am just sitting there shaking my head over and over because so many of them just don't do the research into the hazards before starting a project. I am always glad thinking about the breaker-song because at least that one sticks around ^^'
I dipped my fabric in a mix of school glue and water and it worked perfectly and gave me plenty of time to play around with it. If you want that ‚stone like look‘ you could later on just paint it over with some plaster paste. Just a tip if someone wants to give it a try. (:
this is great! you could also try out the baking soda paint moment overtop
I think I might try soaking the bedsheet in plain water before mixing up the plaster and dipping it. I don't know how much it would help but I've pre-wet other fabrics before using the plaster and it seemed to work quite well.
The last one with the art print looked SO GOOD! I was honestly kind of skeptical about how it would turn out just using the gloss to mimic the strokes, but it's amazing!
Jumping :On Board That Oil Painting 🖌️ Technique 💯%
That's something I was gonna try years ago, but was afraid it wouldn't work. Now I know. 🤦🏼♀️
It was the only DIY I would try. Though I'd be worried about the paper warping. Curious how it got smoothed out by the end without any damage.
I love how the painting one deepens the colors too! Feels much more like what it would look like in real life!
I've noticed some homewares shops near me selling prints that have been painted over like this - it's pretty convincing! You can only really tell by reading the label for 'print' or looking really really closely to see transparency and not oil
Hi! You can fill the handle of the glass cutter with oil. Than it will slide better and make nicer cuts. Please like so they will read this :)
It's always better to ensure that the cloth you are dipping in plaster is damp. A dry cloth will instantly soak up a lot of water and give you less time to work with it. I generally use cheaper, thinner material in smaller sections... Something that's easier to drench in the plaster paste... Don't be scared of making a thin paste... You can always make a thicker one for the final coat.. hope this helps
I like Rachel bringing the energy of that friend who is beautiful and put together and good in meetings, but then in the middle of something is as much of a mess as any of us. That's relatable and helps it feel so earned when things come through because not everything does.
The transformation of the print to an 'oil painting' was phenomenal!!
I have seen the oil painting technique before but most people have just brushed the medium on randomly. It looks okay, but yours looked AMAZING!

I love that you can show when things don’t turn out the way you hoped. That is keeping it real. Well done Rachael
Great job. FYI about plaster. You should start with water and then add plaster to build a “mountain”. Once plaster stops or slows water absorption, slowly mix. The mixing actually a activates the setting up process. I’ve recently started using plaster for diy projects (lamps) and found this process gave me the best work time although it still sets really quickly! Keep up the wonderful projects!
this is really insightful! thank you
Came to say the same… also it helps to start with cold water 😊
I am a sculptor and you explained that perfectly. I would just do the test on small scale and maybe put already wet fabric in the bucket with plaster.
@do you like thiS ? I was coming on here to say the same. Wet fabric, wring out excess, (do this AHEAD OF TIME!), then put in plaster mix.
the met collection is a really useful archive, thank you for sharing it with us! That painting turned out amazing!
I would love to see inspiration taken from our childhoods (90s and 2000s art and design shows like Trading Spaces or Art Attack) and bringing those techniques to modern home decor! I think it could be a cool look back on how things have changed and how they're the same :)
Absolutely loved those shows!!!
"This is an art attack... this is an art attack..."
About the plaster and sheets, I would suggest wetting the sheets first, not dripping, but moist. That way the fabric will absorb the plaster quicker and more evenly.
The energy Rachel brings is so infectious. She just rolls with wherever the DIY is going. It makes me feel like I'm doing crafts with a friend 😊
I use plaster at work. Using COLD water=more working time. Using hot water will make it set faster. Also, I would have used a little more water in my mixture. The powder to water ratio doesn't really affect the final product, so you can adjust the consistency to fit your project.
I really need to try these as an artsy person with an art degree who consistantly uses plaster at my non-artsy job 😅
Didn’t care for the Flintstones’ mirror, just not my style. And the wrinkled sheet pictures were nice, but I feel like I’ve seen them a lot. But the fake oil painting technique was very interesting
the mirror diy seems like a great first glass cutting project, since you dont have to worry too much about a super clean edge
yes so true!!
11:55 reminds me of that one cool teacher we all had in elementary/high school who you desperately wanted to impress, but you did something you shouldn’t have and now she’s gonna casually talk to you about your behaviour and you’ll feel insanely guilty for disappointing her
Glass artist here! You absolutely need to seal the new cut edges of the mirror or you could get mirror rot. You can use a mirror sealant or you can just use clear nail polish
I think with the plaster draping canvas I would start with a really watery plaster mix for the dip, arrange the folds as I want them, and let dry, then come in with extra plaster a little thicker consistency for the refining and smoothing.
I learned when making molds that Plaster of Paris powder is toxic to inhale. We had to wear respirator masks. Hope this helps. Xox, Bonnie
You are right. That last technique should be viral!
Coincidentally, DIY danie also used the last diy technique in her last video. You must have had similar inspiration. I especially liked that Rachael tried to trace the motifs with the brush and not just add texture randomly.
omg no way!! great minds think alike I guess haha
XO MaCenna did the painting one a while ago and I've also seen several other videos about it doing the same technique. It is a great idea to make a painting print seem real 😍 fun DIYs!
Would definitely try the painting idea. And it would make me feel like a real painter in the process. My least favorite is the mirror idea. Just not visually pleasing to me but it was fun to watch you create it.
When I was a kid, paper mache was made with flour and water, not glue and water.
And YEEES! Another youtuber did the mimic oil painting hack, but she did NOT mimic the brush strokes the painter would have made and it almost made me mad. :P I'm so glad someone is educating others on a better way to do it. Well done girl!
Finally a video with great Tik tok ideas . Some videos we see are not that great but this one is actually really useful. Thanks Rachael 😊🙌🏼
I don’t do TikTok but these turned great. With the drapey art I have seen people use cement that doesn’t set up as fast and use some creamy paint to add some depth. The mirror is the only item I have never seen. All are very nice.
oh cool thats a great idea!
@TheSorryGirls do you guys have a telegram page?
@@kkaubela dear If u got any telegram msg by sorry girl or any youtuber for qualify for gift..don't respond its big scam ..they take all ur details..plz don't respond
@Saba Umer thanks, i thought it was a bit dodgy, so i didn't give much away, so they started to try to engage in daily basis conversation which was strange if you are just doing a giveaway. Asking to choose a number..it was really weird. Although they have a full page with the Sorry Girls videos here on CZcams.
The canvases still turned out alright- what about highlighting the creases of one canvas with gold paint. Since they look different they can be hang at different locations.
I will tell you how sculpure professors taught me in art school to work the plaster "correctly": in a bucket you place, first, the water, then add the plaster like a heavy sprinkle way, when it reaches the surface, absorbing most of the water, with your hand squeeze it, do not mix with a spatula or a wooden stick, nothing, just with your hands in gloves, once you don't feel any lump you can start to use it. All this work avoids heating the plaster too much, which causes it to dry faster. It is also not convenient to add more water or plaster once you squeeze the plaster with your hands, because, in general, it does not mix correctly and it fills with impossible lumps to eliminate. It is also convenient for you to wet the fabric before using it and for the plaster to be as liquid as possible. Hope this can help you! Saludos desde Argentina (sorry for my english, google help me)
oh, I remember something else that can be usefull, always use a clean bucket, they use to make us use plastic bottles, cutting the top, so when the plaster drys you can squeeze the soft plastic and the plasters drops easiely.
Just a tip: When mixing plaster, you put the water in first, then the plaster on top. I know it might sound counterintuitive, but that's how plaster should be mixed.
Another alternative to the plaster of Paris mixture is a fabric medium. You could use GAC 400 or the Jaquard fabric sculpting medium. Both would work great for this project or any other soft sculptures using fabric.
was dreaming about adding texture to large scale cheep art overnight and then you all showed up to show me how to do it! perfect!
Cold water will take the plaster a longer time to set (20-30minutes) while hot water makes it set and become thick quickly (5 minutes ish). I always use a 1:1 ratio. Equal parts water to plaster. You can also tell if you have enough plaster if a little island floats when dropping it in with your hand. Maker sure to squeeze out the chunks too.
That painting technique on the painting is amazing!! Love your tenacity to persevere through challenges like the canvas/fabric project. That turned out pretty incredible! I would hv to add color to that one though..monochromatic would bring out the shadows & drape of the fabric! Great job !
My favorite was definitely the gloss painting ❤
Hi I don't know who's watching this or who's reading this but I just need to say this I am truly blessed with having CZcams on my smart TV therefore I would have never have been able to see the sorry girls Rachel and Becky and Kelsey are the best at what they do and they've always inspire me to get busy and do something funky Cool. Always something that will make me happy They always give me the inspiration and every time I watch their channel I get so happy,they put smile on my face.
so thank you for sharing all of your projects individually and collectively this is gotta be my most favorite channel to watch and thanks for turning me on to lone Fox and Megan Batoon because they too have also been my favorites ,always love when you all drop A new video thank you out here in northern California DIY beside you all💛🎊🎊👏🏼🌷💐🥳💐💯💯🫡🫡
If you start with damp fabric (damp! Not soaking wet!) it will go a a lot smoother.
It would be really nice if you guys ever promoted supported small artists, maybe those that sell prints on Etsy. The world is expensive so I get why free options are important but also letting people know how they could support other artists would definitely mean a lot for artists trying to make a living.
I've tried the fabric canvas art recently but I used a watered down mixture of PVA glue and fabric glue but pretty did the rest of the steps all the same. It has a longer working time because it takes longer to dry so I felt it was pretty beginner friendly. The fabric dries still looking like fabric instead of that stone affect that plaster gives so it's really up to preference. I also stapled the fabric in the back for extra support.
Rachael and DIY Danie were on the same page this week with that idea to make a print look more like a painting with gel gloss or mod podge as DIY Danie used. It looks awesome!
I think this is one of my all time favourite videos. So helpful! Thanks kindly.
Did anyone else feel like they were in trouble? "You and I are going for a little chat" 🤣🤣
I think I’m going to try the mirror frame first & then try the picture painting trick! 🥰
Love these craft videos - missed them! Do more please! 🖤 Would defo give the canvas/sheet/plaster of Paris one a go, and the oil painting hack is genius!
I love the plaster canvas art and oil paining hack! So cool!!
I will definitely try the last idea!! This is so cool!
I absolutely loved these. I searched for reasonably priced art for my home for the longest time. Great work as always from Rachael. You make everything seem possible!
If you wet sand the paper mache it gets even more smooth since the product is water activated also it lowers the amount of silica in the air as you’re sanding.
I love the last one. Bc I always print art for easy and cheap ways to change out art. I like that it looks like a real painting. Or more upscale.
I love the sheet wall art and your own viral (not yet) hack i will try
Love seeing real, genuine opps and solutions!
I like the last painting diy the best,and ur actually mock painting so it's fun and easy
I looooved the last one!!!
I like your idea at the end. Very clever!
Hi Rachael 👋🏻
The best time of the week, I’ve been looking so forward to this 😊
The last hack is sooo good! Turned out great ❤
Love the sheet canvases.
I’m in love with the painting
a stone texture spray paint on the mirror frame would have made it look more finished
I love the mirror!! ❤
DEFINITELY employing that last technique in my home. Such an amazing idea!!
I loved them all! My mom did a similar hack as the oil painting with a cheap print from a thrift years ago... great minds.
Saw that painting DIY hack from an old Nigahiga video a while back and thought it was awesome. So happy to see it again and done better and made more realistic. Love it! So fun! :)
Last hack is a game changer!
Love the painting!
I would love to see the drapey one with some color - maybe adding some dye into the fabric first?
The first diys in a long time that I can make really make use of. 😍
Gloss painting I loved!!!
You always do beautiful projects but I can't get past the sheets and the mirror. Not my favorites!
Mod Podge works to make prints look more like oil paintings and you can buy it anywhere! They all turned out great!
we found that the product we used added a bit more texture, where mod podge would even itself out a bit more, but both are amazing
@@TheSorryGirls Oh that’s great to know!! Thank you 💜!
Would love to see a canvas design with drywall mud like I’ve been seeing all over.
To make the plaster always add water first then sprinkle plaster of Paris in second. Same amount but much smoother consistency
I love the last project, [ even though they are all great ] I didnt know you could print off pictures from the met, defo a game changer for me, thank you.
The last one looks like something I would try
ok but that painting hack is brilliant!
Maybe for the fabric one I would try something lighter like cheesecloth or a lighter cotton like a tablecloth, it may help it look more subtle and less clumpy. Also working out a dry design before laying it out
With the draped sheet art I used a watered down glue to dip the sheet and arrange it an afterwards covered it in plaster 😊 so you get the stone /plater look but you have waaay more time to arrange the sheet using glue
I wonder if you could swap the plaster with 90 minute fast set? I’d also try wetting the sheet. I think it would probably help keep the sheet from absorbing the plaster super fast and help it absorb the plaster evenly
Omg that painting hack is GENIUS!!!
I’d try the last one for sure. Also like how you covered the original prints from the thrift store. ❤🏆🏆🏆❤
Loathed the viral stuff but I won't hold TSG accountable for my difference in taste. Rachel's DIY painting was jaw dropping, tho. The way the medium brought out the color and made it look so much more vibrant... A++++!!! Will be doing for my own space, for sure!
Oooo, DIY Danie did a similar technique to the oil painting with mod podge! Good to know there are different options for that effect!
I have a print I was thinking of doing this to, but I didn't know what to brush on! I am so glad you did this! Can't wait to try it!
tag us in a pic when you do it!
Your own project was much better than the other two "viral" ones. I'm betting yours totally goes viral now.
Whoooo! Nice! Those all turned out so lovely! Now if I can just get over the fact that that thrift store sticker is forever stuck on that mirror!
Sorry ... generally on board for most of it, but the mirror is sort of hideous....
I liked the altered art print.
The fake oil paint project is something I would try. The plaster ones? Ehhhhh, not so much.
You could have used house paint plus plaster of Paris for homemade gesso (1 tab plaster to 1 cup paint) or just plain acrylic paint over the second hand canvases. Soaking the bed sheet would have given you more working time. Glad you followed the brush strokes on the print, I’ve seen this done before and she just crisscrossed her brushstrokes, yours looked much more believable. Mirror looked great❤️✨
You may be able to get the same effect on a oil painting print using glossy Mod Podge.
These projects looked fun.
Quick question, what type of paper did you use when printing the Summer Flowers painting?? Got it done at Staples??
Tips for plaster: when mixing put your water first then slowly add you plaster until it doesnt absorb. The more you physically mix it, the faster the chemical reaction happens and the less working time you have.
I think "mirror miroir" is just PL 610 mirror adhesive. The extra "miroir" is just the French translation on the package 😄
The art print trick was cool. I say, don't bother with trends like the mirror thing!! They're a very specific look that is gonna be completely gone in a year or two. At least you used thrifted stuff!
