 Hello everybody welcome back to my channel it is Drew here from Lone Fox and you do not know how excited I am to be sitting down and DIYing for you guys today because I really feel like I have not DIYed in a minute I honestly spent quite some time just redoing my apartment for fall. I actually did two different makeover videos if you guys have not seen them one in the living and dining room and then one in my bedroom both fall themes and I love the way they turned out but I thought today why not go ahead and do some cute DIY fall decor for you guys. I had so many ideas I just haven't had a moment to sit down and actually create them. I wanted to get your opinions on this filming style so I've actually filmed one video like this before where I actually kind of talked to you guys and then I have a camera pointing down as well. I would love to know do you like this style of DIY video or do you prefer the voice over kind of quicker chops. I'd love to know leave a comment below and I'm also so excited to say that today's video is sponsored by Canon I love working with Canon I have a Canon camera I have all Canon products but today we're focusing on their TS9521C crafting printer it does and works wonders it's a crazy printer I'm actually going to dive on into a couple of the details of it right now because we need some of the prints that we're using in a couple of seconds for our first project so let me share with you guys the printer. This pretty printer you see on the shelf here is the Canon TS9521C crafting printer and the thing I love about this printer is how versatile it truly is you can use it for any crafting project whether it be 12 by 12 borderless printing art prints really any craft related project but you can also use this for everyday prints as well such as photos school projects documents invitations and much more here you can see I'm flipping through some of the built-in printable patterns and I love these because you could print 12 by 12 borderless which would have been a game changer during my scrapbook days here's some ancient footage I pulled from the vault for you guys I loved scrapbooking so much and this printer would have been such a game changer and I've recently been using it also as well to print out patterns for phone cases as you guys saw in the last video I've made gift card holders and also greeting cards as well. We also cannot forget about the five color individual ink system this printer has the versatile printing, copying and scanning you can do so much with this printer it has a super simple interface as well with a touchscreen on the front just to make selections very easy and memory card support so you could print right off of your memory card. I wanted to go ahead and swap out some of the artwork in my apartment and I figured why not print out my own it is so much cheaper than going to like a print shop or something so I ended up printing out a couple of artwork pieces on this printer and this was the first time I've printed photos or artwork and wow did this exceed my expectations you guys the quality of these prints is unmatched like this black one here that is so dark I really thought it was gonna be like a low quality not as pigmented as the actual image was but these were all super pigmented they had no streaks no lines and the overall print quality was just it was really really nice for an art print. A lot of you might have seen that these vintage style frames are on my apartment and a lot of them have been empty just hanging on the wall but I ended up adding artwork to them and wow the frame enhances the art and the art enhances the frame I love what these prints turned out and if printing these art prints out did not entice you enough then click the link in my description box below to find out more information on the Canon Pixman TS9521C crafting printer it is truly a game changer so as you guys saw I printed some incredible artwork on that printer the printing quality is insane like this looks like it was fully printed out of print shop I also printed this one and I get questions all the time about where I get these frames and most times you have to find these frames at like a Goodwill or thrift store but I thought for our first product we can go ahead and kind of recreate one of these frames to a DIY version so let's dive on in for the base of our frame I'm going to be using an 8x10 frame here this is from Target I've had it for a long time I've done nothing with it I think I bought it for a makeover a while back and I didn't end up using it so I thought why not use it it's a perfect size and I feel like I'm a chef right now you guys because you know how you watch cooking shows and they like cut something up and they have to refrigerate it for an hour and bring it back well you guys I'm doing the same thing so I already did my little resin molds because they take a while if I'm already done essentially I purchased a couple of silicone molds on Amazon I'll link the ones I got below for you guys and then I mixed together some of this resin here so when I always use the crafters resin and I went ahead I mixed it up and I poured it into the molds let it cure overnight and that is basically where we are at the moment I'm gonna team mold our little resin kind of filigree shapes and look how cool that is and I've done these before in clay but I swear guys the clay ones break really easily so I suggest using resin these are pieces and I know my frame orientation to be vertical like this basically I want to also do some hot glue gun dots like on the inside of the frame and maybe on the outside as well to kind of create this border around here I kind of like this layout that I have going on here now I know it looks really strange as is but once we paint the full thing gold give it some antiquing it should give us a similar look to one of those other frames if not even cooler to be honest so I'm gonna go ahead and use some hot glue to adhere down all my resin pieces and then we can move on to the next step let's go in and do our dots you guys I'm just gonna try to make them as even as possible just an idea if you wanted them to be more symmetrical you can also go in and use those like peel and stick pearls and like glue them on so they're very even symmetrical you can space them out but I'm just gonna wing it and do the hot glue plus it's cheaper easier and I have access to it so our hot gluing is complete now I will say I didn't glue these on perfectly symmetrical but I'm totally fine with that there's more room on the right side of the frame as there is on the left side the filigree kind of butts up here where it doesn't here just being fully transparent I should have probably even did a little bit more but I'm not too mad let's just say that's a character you know so I'm gonna go back in over the top of this once it's dry and actually do one full coat of this acrylic paint here if the color is asphalt thumb so we're gonna do a brown coat of paint all over all at this and then I'm gonna go over it with some rubbing buff in gold and hopefully the brown will almost act as like an underlayer to kind of give it a vintage look so I'm gonna go ahead and dry this down with the heat gun and then we can add our actual gold finish the product I'm going to use to make this gold is rubbing buff in the color antique gold I love love love using this it just goes on so easily it's so opaque you need one coat and you are good to go so I'm going to put down a generous amount of this and to apply this on I'm actually going to use like a medium-sized kind of stippling brush here that has a bit more of a coarser hair to it just because I want to be able to kind of stipple it into a lot of the grooves and also just be able to kind of add the gold where I want and still let some of that brown kind of show through to give it an aged look so as you guys can see in this corner here the brown that we added on first really just shows through a lot of the cracks and crevices which is why I'm using a coarser brush so I don't get the gold everywhere I really want to kind of brush it on top and just let it go where it falls but then let the brown or the darker brown color sit below so it kind of gives that antique aged effect picking up a bit more of the product there and we're just going to go over the top just kind of stippling and brushing it on as it needs to be when I'm telling you guys this frame took me about 10 minutes from start to finish to create I am not kidding and look how cool that looks and then I went ahead and printed a new art piece look how insane this art piece printed on that cannon printer it is crazy guys this looks like a legit piece of art quality is just crazy I cannot believe it looks like that but we're going to go ahead and pop it in our frame and I never use glass when I do like the more painted looking pieces I just think it gives it a more organic look oh my gosh how perfect is this for fall are you kidding me I love with this frame turned out it actually turned out better than I thought for our second project we're going to be creating some really cute pumpkin pillows and I've actually seen these on a couple of decor sites this year and they're pretty expensive but my friend Christine from for the home over on Instagram actually did a tutorial on these really cute pumpkin pillows and I'm going to recreate them for you guys so 100 credit to Christine but let's dive in I'm very excited about this so I have two fabrics here this first one's like a really pretty boucle like teddy style fabric and then this fabric here is actually one that I ended up using for my bathroom makeover if you guys remember these were for those curtains that I did so I thought I would create like a smaller one maybe with this fabric and then a larger one with the boucle fabric what we're going to want to do is lay it out on the back side to get an idea and we're going to want to cut out a rectangle shape so something along the lines of just you know like your traditional rectangle I probably feel like 24 inches by 12 inches let's go ahead and cut out a rectangle shape and now we have our boucle little rectangle here which I'm going to flip over because we're going to go ahead and just do a running stitch across the top and the bottom I'm going to grab a needle and just some string this is cotton string from the dollar store and I'm going to thread this on we're going to go ahead and just do a really loose running stitch which is basically like an in and out weave essentially across the back side of our fabric here and then for both the top and the bottom you're actually going to want different strands or different strings cut for those sections when you do the running stitch because we're going to pull them separately after we sew up the side running stitch is done on the top and bottom but what we're going to want to do now is actually flip it over so our right side is up and we're going to fold this in half right sides together and actually sew off this end here it's kind of sewing through this edge just because we're using this to actually secure the pumpkin shut I would say do a little bit of a tighter stitch and then once you reach the end you can just go ahead and tie your string off just how you would finish kind of any seam and now you guys we essentially have this nice tube which we can now invert we sewed off one of our edges so now we're going to want to close off one end of our pumpkin so we have our two strands all you have to do to your two strands is just simply pull them it's going to cinch everything together and tie this into a really really tight knot this is going to be the bottom of our pumpkin it's really nice doing this too with a fluffier fabric because a lot of your knots and your stitching is just kind of hidden in the fluff of the fabric and now we have a pouch we're going to go ahead and fill up our pouch with basically just some down alternative polyfill you can totally recycle old pillows you could put old clothes in here a little trick when using polyfill too I kind of like to shred it before I put it in because sometimes it could be pretty condensed and then we could start stuffing all right so here's our little puff of fabric you guys this would be such a cute like longer lumbar pillow but we're going to create the sections of the pumpkin now so what we're going to do to create those is actually use some hemp cording you're going to want something to kind of contrast your base fabric just a little bit and I'm going to slip this through a yarn needle here just so much easier to work with and so I'm going to just put my needle right through the center of our pumpkin and then kind of push it through the opposite side give yourself a good amount to work with I'm just going to go right back over and do the same thing go right back through the middle section and back up through the top so I want to probably add like six of them total so you're just going to map out where you want your next one to be just right by it most likely and just repeat the process once you have your sections done guys just go ahead and tie off your remaining strands into a nice tight knot and you guys this is the base of our little fluffy pumpkin next what we're going to want to do though is go ahead and add a stem to the top so I have these little wood pieces which honestly are just so easy to just pop right in the top and I also have this cute little leaf here this is literally from the dollar store and we're just going to adhere these down with a bit of hot glue little pumpkin you can style it with your throw pillows or you can put it on top of like a tabletop how cute is that you guys like on a coffee table or something I actually want to make one more though with the other fabric a little bit of a smaller version and I'm going to speed through that one to share it with you guys but I finished the second pumpkin you guys and this one turned out so cute I will say that the fabric that is more stiff and not fluffy that can kind of hide any mistakes is definitely a bit more challenging to work with you kind of get this more ruffled organic look but honestly I think it's really a cute look they're both really cute look at these little pumpkins you guys so that is our second project moving into our third project this is a project I have seen floating around Pinterest for years when it comes to fall decor and it's basically where you take a large leaf something like this and you press it into some clay to create like a like little plate but I'm actually going to turn mine into a bowl shape and you guys my friend Alyssa found me the biggest leaf in the world it was fallen on the ground don't worry it wasn't picked off as a tree so we're going to use this kind of as a template for a bowl and we're also going to use some clay here this is just some sculpting white clay starting off we're going to grab some of our clay I'm not sure how much we're going to need but I'm just going to go ahead and use a generous amount whenever you're doing a play project you guys I always suggest starting by warming up the clay first whenever I roll out clay I like to just work on some parchment papers so I just kind of move maneuver it and circle like this flatten it out as much as I can kind of almost stretch it at the same time too just so that you disperse the clay more evenly and then when you place it on your surface you can use a rolling pin or whatever you have to roll it to the dimension you want it to be our clay has been rolled out and it took me a while to get this rolled out and we have our large humongous beautiful leaf here and basically what I'm going to do with this leaf is I'm going to be pressing the top a bit on top of our clay and kind of getting an indent of the leaf and that's going to give us our design or pattern and I kind of maneuvered my clay in a way where this would fit on there I'm just going to start pressing my leaf into the clay and then I'm going to use my acrylic roller to almost start rolling and indenting the leaf design into our clay our leaf is pretty well pressing the clay I made sure to go over it with our acrylic roller a few times and it looks nice and flat now I'm going to be using an exacto knife to go ahead and just trim out any of the extra clay so anything that's showing outside of the leaf we're going to trim all of that clay off it is our moment of truth I'm so nervous but I think this should have worked we're going to pull up our original leaf and hopefully it should have indented some of the design onto our clay I will say it's not the most perfect imprint but it's going to work perfectly fine we can totally turn this into a bowl still this is just an IKEA bowl and I'm just going to go ahead and actually take our leaf off of our parchment paper we basically want to give it a bowl shape so we're going to pat this kind of around those edges and I'm going to go pop this into the oven for probably around half of an hour all right guys our bowl is out of the oven I have let this kind of cool down for about an hour and a half because it was heated now I'm going to go ahead and remove it it's very simple it literally just pops right off oh my gosh you guys look how cool this is so I think I'm just going to leave it as is it has like a unique texture to it as well so I'm just going to go ahead and seal it I'm going to use some mott podge hard coat which is what I always use to seal the larger the leaf you find the larger bowl that you can create but these are really cute you can also totally do a smaller leaf and create like some trinket trays if you wanted to give them to your friends or something we have our final project here which this is the one I was holding off for last because I'm a little nervous because the idea for this project is really just to combine a whole bunch of paints and mediums to create some unique fall themed vote of holders and I'm going to go ahead and use a mixture of different mediums let me share them with you guys this one here is that amber glass spray paint that I ended up using on the olive trees if you guys remember in my fall videos and then I have a little bit of a gold bright coat spray paint which is like a metallic finish and then I have this forged hammer paint primer one burnished amber finish and I'm just going to use these in coordination with this right here now this is a metal effects rust finish kit and I got this at the craft store basically it's supposed to give you a rusty finish but I thought it would be cool to have like a rusty kind of fall themed warm toned distressed vote of holders so I laid down some cardboard to protect my surfaces and I'm going to grab my two little glass pieces here I went ahead and I opened all the windows in my living room I know you're not supposed to spray paint indoors however I'm just doing a very very light coat of this so I don't think it's going to be too big of an issue so I'm going to start off with this amber glass spray paint and shake that up a little bit and I'm just going to start kind of spraying the bottom of this I want to leave the top fully clear and almost have it kind of be a gradual effect going down so that's why I'm spraying more towards the bottom and then I'm going to go ahead and do a little bit on this one as well instantly those are so much cooler you already have like these ombre amber glass vessels but we're going to take it one step further and add a little bit more I'm going to let this dry for a minute though now that our seaglass spray paint has dried I'm going to go in with a bit of that gold spray paint and give just a little bit of gold to this as well I'd love a bit of shimmer kind of popping through the rust accent we're going to add afterwards you guys these are so pretty already but I want to go in with our rust accents paint which where did I put that here it is okay so it seems like first we're going to go in and add our primer I'm going to go ahead and just kind of loosely apply this honestly to more so the bottom of our piece and I kind of want to get like a little bit of a fade towards the top kind of going to fade it into what we've already sprayed all right guys our primer is dry and these again like look at the stage that these are already in we're going to go into our next step here which is going to be actually adding our oxidizing iron paint and we're going to add a coat of this it says to do two coats of it actually over the top but what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to brush it up but I'm going to leave a little bit of that terracotta primer color because it's actually really pretty I'm showing so I'm not going to brush it all the way up to the top and I'm going to go in with like this stippling brush here which is kind of like a more coarser brush and I'm just going to kind of drag right at the top of our line and that's just going to fade that out a little bit more oh you guys you know what a better method for blending this is stippling it like this it looks way better ooh I'm going to go back and do that on our other one too these are dry and this is the rust activator it's we're just going to go ahead and spray a coat of this I'm going to let that sit nothing is happening yet it does say as activated surface dries it takes about 30 to 40 minutes a real rust finish will appear so I'm going to add a second coat in five minutes and then I'm going to share it with you guys what it looks like in about 45 minutes it's been about an hour and a half you guys and our hurricanes look so cool I absolutely love this finish on them how unique is that finish totally obsessed with it but I'm just going to do one more tiny step to this piece which is going to be adding just a tiny bit of this burnished amber spray paint to the bottom I'm just going to kind of lightly spritz the bottom of it to give it a little bit more of an ombre like a gradation this is just going to give a really cool texture to the bottom because it actually looks like hammered metal those are our finished kind of fall themed just rustic hurricanes these are perfect for any pillar candle votive candle whatever you want and they're great on top of a mantle you can use a couple of these on a dining table for Thanksgiving these are really cool and I love that they turned out and that
