I do on my channel, which is Ikea hacks Love shopping at Ikea, but I find a lot of their pieces to be very very simple very basic And sometimes I want my pieces to be a little bit more elevated a little bit more personalized and fun Oh my gosh, I also completely forgot to mention guys. I got my eyebrows micro bladed. Can you see can you tell like? Can you see these hair strokes? These are all fake. Sorry. I have literal spray paint on my fingers These are all fake hair real hair fake hair my eyebrows before I'm gonna put in like the tiktok video right here That I filmed of the process you can follow me on tiktok at Lone Fox home Sorry for jumping off like track really quickly But if you were curious why my eyebrows maybe look different are more arched are more just like filled in slash look dark That's because they're in the healing process right now But I am obsessed with them like I have filled in my eyebrows every day of my life since high school because I have I've such bad eyebrows before and sort of before and after as well So you guys can take a look at it But I cannot believe that I can now wake up and just like have a good eyebrow like that is crazy to me Okay, enough rambling. I just wanted to let you guys know in case you were curious. Let's get into today's video I wanted to kick this video off with a bang. So we are starting with a larger scale project I'm using two of these ick Bay valter little wall mounds and also this torslev I hope I pronounced that right rug and the other supplies I'm gonna be using are a hot glue gun wooden dowel black spray paint and some painters tape So I'm taking this rug and I believe this is a three foot by five foot rug And I'm going to be taking the top portion and I'm actually going to be folding it over on itself And then caught gluing down just the edge. We're basically creating like a little pocket hole That way we could stick the wooden dowel through so just use a strong bond glue hot glue worked great and then I'm using some paper towel and Painters tape to create a diagonal stripe across to this rug and this is going to be on the bottom section of the rug Basically, I am masking off the top portion and we're going to be spraying this with some black spray paint I actually had to reposition it one time just to get it in the correct position that I wanted it in and Then once you have that I brought it outside and I use this two times rostoleum Black spray paint that I use in my thrift clip video and I'm just going to be spraying the entire bottom portion of this rug Now since this is going to be a wall hanging I don't really mind that it's going to be like crunchy and textured Of course, he wouldn't want to probably use this on your actual floor But since the wall hanging I figured it would just be totally fine to spray the bottom portion of this And the great thing is that you can totally spray this with any color you like and really have like a Coordinating wall tapestry and I absolutely love the way this looks when it is hung up So I gave it a good coating I had to go over it multiple times just because it was kind of splotchy and then this is the clearest reveal ever I was worried but look at this Okay So that is what the bottom half of the rug looks like and all you have to do to finish this off It's just slip the dowel through the top portion and then you're gonna amount the two wall brackets And I just love how this is hung as opposed to a traditional tapestry and this ended up costing about 36 dollars I think it's great because it's pretty large scale I told you guys that this video is filled with a ton of projects I loved and this one is probably one of my favorite decor items I've actually created so just go back if you want to look at those supplies because we're gonna jump right in I'm starting off with these Lindrande objects Which I've used these before on my channel and they are just like round circular decor pieces And I'm also using some air-dry clay and what I'm gonna be doing with this clay is basically just molding it around the actual hoop portion of this like decorative object and I'm gonna be creating it into sort of a new more Organic kind of steel looking object a very seabee to restoration hardware vibe I absolutely love pieces like this But they typically cost anywhere from like 50 to 150 dollars for just like one decorative object But they're actually made of real metal. Of course, we're not doing that today So I'm using a little bit of water and I'm just rubbing what I've already done. This literally looks sexual I'm very sorry about that, but you know, you just got to do what you got to do So I'm taking the water and just smoothing out the clay because basically We're just wanting to break down like the top layer of clay and make it just a very very smooth and clean And you can really kind of like mold it and mend it to the shape you want And I'm actually repeating the process on the larger one now these circles at IKEA were actually on sale when I got them I don't know why I don't know if they're going out of stock So definitely check your IKEA the larger one I made a little bit more organic with thicker clay sections and the right side as you can see that smooth and the left side is not So that's kind of like showing you why I like to smooth them out and then once they are dry I went in with some of this obsidian stone texture spray paint and gave it a quick little spray just to give it a little bit more texture than it already had and I sprayed the base as well because I knew I wanted to Lastly go in and give a full coat of this matte farmhouse black spray paint to match my decor in my home And I gave a two coats of this total and it just turned out absolutely incredible I really really love the outcome of this and I was able to create both of these for $27 You know, I had to create a super affordable project as well. So these are the overall I think they're potholders made of cork and I'm also going to be using some assorted paints macrame rope and scissors So the supplies are super minimal and these are the three items that you get and I was like These are really great shapes to actually create a wall hanging with so I grabbed a couple of paints and like a peach color a More pinky peach color and then a tan color and I'm going to be basically painting all three of these circles So I'm doing two full coats and when I tell you guys this was so satisfying to paint something about how smooth This cork was and how it like soaked in the paint was just so nice I loved it. So I ended up painting the medium-sized one like a tan color The largest one was more of a darker like salmony pink and then the smallest one here is like a more lighter Kind of like coral-y salmony pink I wanted to do three shades that were very similar but still different at the same time Which you're gonna be able to see in the end clips So I ended up doing a total of two coats on all three of these objects And of course you could not forget about the back So I went in and just gave just one quick coat to the backside since it wasn't gonna be shown Anyways, I just wanted to make sure that it looked decent of course from all angles and these are my three tones So next what I'm doing is grabbing some macrame cord I will link this below for you guys and I'm cutting out two just random probably like footlong sections And I'm gonna be looping it around and then pulling through my strands through the largest loop And then I'm gonna also be doing the same thing on the Medium-sized loop so we're gonna have both of these like this and then the smallest loop is actually gonna be the center point So I'm pulling both of the rope sections down through and you're gonna see exactly what I'm doing to connect these I wanted a very clean finish. So I'm flipping it over I'm putting hot glue on the backside and basically just gluing these down To the actual backside of the smallest loop and repeating the same process on the other side that way when you flip it over There's no knots or anything, but it's gonna look super super smooth And then it's also gonna be level at the same time. So this basically finishes it off But of course I needed to add a little loop to the top portion So I'm adding on some macrame cord and a loop tying a knot at the top cutting off the excess strands And that finishes off this wall decor item, which I actually was able to create for just eight bucks Have to do like a little furniture item So I'm starting off with two of these Dalscar wooden frames and I'm also using what I think is a new tray to IKEA It's like a restored wood-looking tray very West Elm But for only $25 and the additional supplies are these L brackets and little miniature screws And I'm also going to be using a drill and a pen. So these are the L brackets. They're just from Lowe's It's a couple bucks for a pack of eight And what I'm doing is I'm opening up the frame and pulling out everything on the inside of the frame You're not gonna need any of those pieces at all And then what I'm doing is laying down my four L brackets on one of the ends of the frame It's going to be the shorter end and I'm gonna be drilling what are known as pilot holes I learned this from my lovely friend Rachel who is a woodworker here on YouTube I don't know how to work the wood, but you know, I can try sometimes. So I'm using that sounded awful, honestly I'm using this drill bit. That's really small and just basically creating starting holes for these miniature screws It just makes it so that the wood doesn't split and it just gives the screw an easier area to kind of drive into the wood And I'm also doing the same exact thing on the underside of the tray This is on the right side I believe and I'm gonna be repeating the process on at the left side as well because we're gonna be using these Picture frames as the legs to this sort of like geometric table I think it just turned out really cool in the end and the woods looked amazing together And I used some pliers to pull out the little black pieces that are kind of like to hold in the actual picture And then once you are done, you have your miniature little rustic wood side table for $39 So those are my IKEA hacks for you today I hope that you enjoyed this one and I hope it gave you some insight or some tips or tricks next time You're shopping at IKEA Maybe you could pick up some of these items then maybe rework them a little bit whatever you want to do and Remember that everything's always personalizable. So like for example, like the hanging decor piece, which I have right up there You could definitely change the colors of that whatever you want to do to it You could change the wood color on the tray and like the lay and yeah Let me know in the comment section below which one was your favorite project Which one you might want to be trying out and also give this video a thumbs up if you did enjoy Lastly before jumping out I'm just gonna plug my merch one more time because why not it is my video I'm gonna plug my merch so my merch is so cute.
