    I’m not sure how the background music didn’t export for the ending of project 3 😢 It was so magical!

      No worries, Drew! I found myself inwardly hearing one of the lovely tunes you tend to use for display moments. And in a way, the silence was nice also! Holiday blessings, and thank you for all you do! Love this channel! 😊💜

    • @AccioPadfoot12
      @AccioPadfoot12 Před 6 měsíci +2

      Thanks Drew! My husband drinks wine and plays chess, so he'd love either of those gifts! I'll have to see if he's got an electric bolt cutter without telling him why I want to use it. The drill is no problem. I love the candle idea too and my daughter loves candles!

      What paint do you use on the candles that is ideal for heat/fire?

    Drew, I loved each one of these DIY projects.
    Creating handmade gifts like these is far more rewarding than buying something off the shelf.
    I know the people close to
    me are keenly aware of my time … Giving a gift like this would mean more to them than a gift card … it means… I thought about you… I devoted my time and kept your style and colors in mind… and, I hope you love it … as I love you 💕
    Thanks for always keeping it real. RR

    The chess board project is fantastic--great for my friend with dogs who needs hanging space for leashes and collars, and the bookmark for my friends who read a lot and the wine corks and the checkered candles. . . I think you just solved half my Christmas gift list!

  • @paulap7386
    @paulap7386 Před 6 měsíci +25

    The reason it feels so natural and normal to you ( creating ) is because its who you are, meaning its the best way for you to express the divine spark you are . When we all follow our joy, creativity, excitement ( what ever individual form that takes) we are living our true selves. Thank you for being an example of this Drew.

  • @jacquelinegonzalezmahr5301

  • @shereeralph3802
    @shereeralph3802 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I love the chess board “Coat Check” but if you are giving it to someone that likes chess, learning to play the game so the pieces are actually “in check” (or at least the correct spots on the board) might be a good idea, or it could annoy them. Probably of more importance is to countersink the screw holes on the back, so the screw heads don’t damage your wall.
    The candles are inspired! ☺️ I already had some on my shopping list, but this elevates them so much - I’ll have to try it!

  • @diygemini

    the chess coat rack/key holder was genius!!!

  • @kristinapreedy7069
    @kristinapreedy7069 Před 6 měsíci +64

    Drew - thank you so much for sharing these! They are all wonderful! My husband's family has a "Dollar Gift" (yes, $1) swap tradition and coming up with my idea is always the most stressful (but sometimes fun) part of the holidays for me. All of these ideas could be a Dollar Gift using things I already have around the house but are still really cool and useful! Happy Holidays!

  • @glendashine9468
    @glendashine9468 Před 6 měsíci +7

    I am so excited that I received my Lone Fox purchases from your holiday store this week. They are beautiful of course but I must congratulate who wraps the items for shipping. Every piece was so amazingly wrapped and secure so that there was no possibility of breakage.

  • @Jesse-ce8ti
    @Jesse-ce8ti Před 6 měsíci +39

    Been travelling overseas for months, so I’ve been catching up binge watching all the Lone Fox videos I missed! Also commenting under a new account. Love seeing how the house is looking a year later. Edit: also wanted to say I love the mix of vlog house & how to videos. Wishing you and everyone a happy Christmas 🎄love the felt bookmark!

  • @Patti-1962
    @Patti-1962 Před 6 měsíci +3

    I have to admit how much I missed your DIY video last year. I can say this with all honesty, that YOUR DIY projects are the only ones I still have out in my home! The one that gets the most comments is the $.50 plastic bowl and cup (from Target) glued together and covered with baking soda chalk paint. I filled mine with a beautiful green moss and have it placed on stack books! My grandsons love chess, so I will have to make the chess board project you did today for their room!!

  • @92ives

  • @designsdoovers
    @designsdoovers Před 6 měsíci +4

    Happy Holidays Drew. If you add a bit of dish soap, I use Dawn, to your acrylic paint it helps it stick to the candles when you’re painting.

  • @rebeccaeblin3413
    @rebeccaeblin3413 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Drew! You are so talented sir! We love you and the only other person that I would watch as much as you is your friend MaCenna!

  • @geraldwhite3523
    @geraldwhite3523 Před 6 měsíci +5

    Love the book mark idea. I have so many people that would be perfect for. And I just love that hand made old world kind of look that they had. It was just lovely. Thank you for sharing❤

  • @mirandaaralyn
    @mirandaaralyn Před 6 měsíci +1

    I loved your projects, the lone Fox tissue paper, and especially seen the fire behind you. It really seemed to bring the mantle decorations to life. I hope we get another house tour for Christmas. And I would love to see Nicholas Fairford visiting your home and you visiting his.

  • @spoiledwitch82
    @spoiledwitch82 Před 6 měsíci +1

    We're doing gifts different this year in my family but I really do like these ideas I'll probably make them for my own decor. My roommate would love the chess board idea definitely

  • @beckypetersen2680
    @beckypetersen2680 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I could see those hand painted tapers as cool. Can't think of how I'd use the corks though they were adorable.

  • @kayerin5749
    @kayerin5749 Před 6 měsíci +21

    These are terrific Drew! I love especially the bookmark one, which as I do embroidery I can do some fancy stuff! I laughed when you found the "lazy daisy" stitch. It *is* a neat one. There are tons more so those who stitch could make some fabulous book marks. Outstanding is also the checkerboard hand it up board - I want to know. Is the pattern showing a check mate? (I don't play chess so wouldn't know) Enjoy your holiday prep!

    • @liznishimura9620
      @liznishimura9620 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Oh I doubt it though I'm not a player. He called the "knight" a "horse" which made me chuckle. But all great diy ideas!

  • @Jenzy-K
    @Jenzy-K Před 6 měsíci +1

    This is the first comment I have ever posted for a video and I have to say this is probably one of the best Christmas diy gift videos out there. I stumbled across this video and I am so happy I did. The way you walk us through the projects is so easy to follow along with and I especially appreciate the tips you give along the way - like how to make the petals on the bookmark. After watching your video I am excited to make bookmarks for my friends for Christmas. Now, I’m off to binge the rest of your Christmas DIY videos 😊. THANK YOU for your great video and unique gift ideas.

    It’s definitely a great and easy DIY gift!!! 🎁 😊

  • @RacerBott
    @RacerBott Před 6 měsíci +4

    These are all really beautiful! I love how the candles look but I can’t help but wonder if it is still safe to burn them considering you used acrylic paint, which is based in resin. I’m concerned about the fumes burning it could cause, maybe they are just a good looking candle, not for actual burning? Love your content though!

  • @mala890

  • @jmfvideos4all
    @jmfvideos4all Před 6 měsíci +7

    Hi Drew, love your ideas and how you present them on your videos. Just a thought, how does the paint on the candles affect (if at all) the burning and is it safe? Thanks x

    • @clairer342
      @clairer342 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Great question! I am interested to know more, too. Some professional artist grade acrylic paints contain heavy metals, so I wonder if those are becoming airborne when the candle reaches that section 😬

  • @amygabriel4832
    @amygabriel4832 Před 6 měsíci +2

"Those cork, drawer-pull handles would be perfect for 'J'!" "Those candles! Oh, I want them for my own table!" "'T' would adore that chessboard hanger!" You are a marvel, Drew! You've solved all my Christmas gift dilemmas in one video!

  • @tinakoslosky1145
    @tinakoslosky1145 Před 6 měsíci

    I have one suggestion for the book mark. If you cut THREE pieces of the felt... embroider one; then get fusible facing and stick two triangles together- then you don't see the embroidery and the front will have a little stiffness to it. Then use the third one for the back.

    @pamkahmann3833 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Great ideas!! I like the wine corks and the felt book marks. I have people in mind for these!! The stitch around the bookmark is called a blanket stitch. Might be easier for your viewers to look up a tutorial using that term. Plus backstitching and other terms with embroidery. Just google embroidery stitches. Many tutorials there, too. You are amazing that you can just pick up a needle and thread and go to town. Awesome job!!!
