This is the simple episode I mentioned earlier. The more complicated ornament project comes tomorrow... :D
Craft Along livestream is this Sunday at 3:00PM EST and we'll be making peanut-butter buckeyes (With a twist! ) More to come on that soon :)

2025-05-31 00:59:49 +0000 UTCThis format was great. It helped make the project seem achievable. Loved the music as the transitions into the next parts. Looking forward to the next one I'll be watching in a few minutes, lol. I'm behind but I truly love sitting down and binge watching episodes and rewatching the older ones. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. ๐๐๐

2024-12-23 18:36:40 +0000 UTCThis ornament is so nice! My 4 year old son loves spiders and would go crazy for this ornament. โบ๏ธ๐ธ๏ธ๐ท๏ธ๐ค I like the mini episode video format as well.

2024-12-23 18:36:06 +0000 UTCBeautiful projects as usual! Soldering takes practice. Like in her video, you heat the surface of your project, not your solder wire. Then, you lightly press your solder wire because you don't want bubbles. That's where the art of soldering comes in, no bubbles. Practice a few times to get the hang of it. There are also several thicknesses of the wire. Flux is also a whole thing. Don't touch flux with your fingers, it can irritate the skin. Watch videos on how to use flux.

2024-12-22 16:18:04 +0000 UTCThank you for this - it looks amazing. Some additional info: gauge 28 jewellery wire is 0.3mm wire in EU. This would be quite striking in gauge 20 (0.8mm) wire and could be wire weaved instead of soldered (as it will hold the shape on its own). Like Christine, when buying supplies you also want to use jewellery wire not lace wire (that's a different gauge which is thinner). Thank you!

2024-12-21 13:35:00 +0000 UTCOh Christine, youโre such a tiny step away from stained glass! I dream of doing up a window in that old house. You totally could.

2024-12-21 00:01:41 +0000 UTCId love to make this much larger and place in the corner of a mirror, I think that would look fabulous. Feeling inspired.

2024-12-20 20:57:32 +0000 UTCVery beautiful! I have a soldering iron that I have never used. This is a perfect project for it! Thank you! Merry Creepy Christmas!

2024-12-20 20:37:22 +0000 UTCOoh I love this kind of project, would definitely like to see more! And your tree looks magnificent as always.

Emy AUBIN
2024-12-20 16:26:20 +0000 UTCThis turned out so glittery and shiny on the tree. I love how the golden spider contrasts wiht the red web. Good job! I think adding a few simpler projects (1 or 2) throughout the year might be nice.
Racheal Jones
2024-12-20 12:58:59 +0000 UTCGreat Project. This is exactly the type of projects I love. This is back to some of the Old School projects that made me a fan
Jennifer Edwards
2024-12-20 08:04:59 +0000 UTCI am in love with this project! Now I see I need a saudering kit! With some practice, I think a great tool to have for many more wire projects. Thank you for starting me with new tools for my hobby room!
Dee
2024-12-20 02:31:38 +0000 UTCI love this! Itโs so beautiful and I love that I can actually make this myself! I plan to make some for my own tree! Thank you!
Judy
2024-12-20 01:43:11 +0000 UTCThis was beautiful! I really enjoy the crafts that seem simple enough for the casual crafter to be able to tackle!
Heather Robinson
2024-12-20 00:11:40 +0000 UTCSuch a fun episode! Your ornament is the perfect holiday craft to fit in. I've always liked these smaller craft episodes/ideas, and they make a lot of sense for months when you have so many other obligations like your shoe collaboration launch!
Angela Pearson
2024-12-19 23:43:34 +0000 UTCChristine have you ever made a jeweled spider for your Christmas tree? Folk lore story long ago about a woman living alone with her small children she brings an evergreen tree into the house they have no decorations for. The next morning they awake to a beautiful shimmering tree~ of spider webs. It is said that you will have good luck if you have a beaded spider in your tree. They are easy to make.

Foxley Andrews
2024-12-19 22:51:48 +0000 UTCLove the simpler format projects. It would be great to have a mix. I love seeing the big projects that I will most likely never tackle and the simpler ones that I could attempt. Thanks!
Sonja Tompkins
2024-12-19 22:42:24 +0000 UTCI love this ๐ธ๏ธ I will definitely try making my own ๐ soldering kit on my Christmas list ๐
Victoria Gates
2024-12-19 21:33:44 +0000 UTCAdding beginner crafts would be great, especially if it gives us another new episode in a month! Also, would you consider a Christmas decorated home tour?

2024-12-19 20:28:21 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this! I should be able to do this one.

2024-12-19 19:35:05 +0000 UTCThese are great! This caliber of project remind me of the spider ornaments which we loved making. I love the idea of having simpler projects mixed in occasionally. Thank you!

2024-12-19 18:57:45 +0000 UTCโฆ. I need a better paying job. I watch these videos and think not only am I capable of trying it but also affording all the supplies.. but this is gorgeous and I am not a fan of spiders. Gives me an idea of making a spiderweb crown.

2024-12-19 18:54:07 +0000 UTCI adore this type of craft, something we can follow and create ourselves. ๐ท

2024-12-19 18:47:55 +0000 UTCBuckeyes are so good! Can't wait for the Christine twist! Also, we're having a holiday gathering that evening so it's a perfect reason to make and serve them.
