 Hello guys, Drew here from Lone Fox. Welcome back to my channel. Today I'm doing a really fun Ikea hacks for you and if you might notice, my hair's a lot darker. I got it dyed like a warm honey blonde, which the hairstylist did such a great job at, my friend Dustin. At the time I was like, oh my gosh, it's so good. I love it. And then when I got home and resailed it myself, I was like, yikes. I don't know guys, like it looks pretty on camera kind of wrinkled forehead. I'm not 100% sure if I'm gonna keep this color. I don't think I am. I think I'm gonna change it back on Thursday. Back to my platinum blonde that I've had for a while, which I just love that color. I think it really, really suits me and I've just been working with it and loving it. I was walking around Ikea with my friend James the other day and I found three new Ikea hacks I wanted to share with you guys and I'm so excited about these. I actually did have four in the first place but I ended up only doing three in this video because I need to order something for the next one. So if you do wanna see a fourth Ikea hacks video on this channel, definitely give this one a thumbs up. You have two other ones of these videos that actually got so many views. You guys seem to love them and I will link those in the cards up above. You wanna check those out. But without further ado, let's just get into these projects. This first project here I thought was so innovative and fun. So what I used was the Hajor Tron pot and the Brunsta lamp shade along with some E6000 black paint and a paint brush. So I used the bottom side of the pot which is typically like the water catcher and I flipped it over and I'm gluing the top side of this Brunsta lamp pendant directly to the bottom of the pot. So what I'm using is E6000. I cut the corner off by the way just to get the E6000 out sometimes to top dries and I'm using a ton of E6000 and just making sure that this is really going to be cemented and fastened because this is going to be holding up a plant and I just put a ton of it on there because we're gonna be covering this with black paint later, so no worries. You can fold over your E6000 corner and use it again later. And then this is the following day. I actually use a bit of black paint just to cover all of it and you guys, this was so super secure. If you let the E6000 just dry overnight and you wake up, it's going to be legit cemented on there. Use a bit of black paint and paint it all on there. Let it dry. You can put your pot in the top and I kept it just the neutral tone for a little bit of contrast and that is your new planter. Next up, we're making this decoupage tray and I use the clack tray for my Kia along with some magazines, scissors, mat, mod podge and a paintbrush. So what I did was go through a couple of magazines I had laying around my apartment and just pulled out anything that was interesting to me. So like this tiger printed elephant, these really cool words with the yellow background. I found this Louis Vuitton sort of background that said consume cool on it and just lots of random images and just finds inside of magazines or anything that you might have personal mementos, Polaroid photos. I even ended up in the end adding some personal things. I did a ticket from an OC fair that I went to. Just lots of stuff you can decoupage on here and keep in mind also, you can add as you go. So if you don't have a lot of images to start with you can just decoupage the ones you do have and then later on down the future you can add more to it, cover up what you don't like anymore and just keep adding because you can honestly never have too many things decoupage on this tray. So I cut up this really cool pair of Gucci sneakers as well and something that I definitely recommend when you're doing decoupage like this is to cut around some of the images. So don't make everything squares. Definitely create some that are a little bit more organic shapes and cut around them leaving a little bit of an edge. I think that really creates that magazine-esque look. And then what I did was use my phone just to take a photo of the placement that I had so I can start actually decoupaging. What I do is just add a very generous layer of Mod Podge to the backside and then I place it down on my tray where I want it to go and then I'll use a bit more Mod Podge and go around the whole top edge of the project just to really make sure that it's fastened on there. And I used a couple images of Saroi Spronin because she's one of my favorite actresses ever. I love the Lovely Bones. It's one of my favorite movies even though a lot of people think it's creepy. I really just enjoy like the cinematography and the coloring and the graphics, everything about that movie, the music, the acting, the casting, it's all amazing. I just love that one. And then also Lady Bird. She just stars in a lot of movies that I really love. So I wanted to definitely make her prominent and I had her Vogue cover. So I definitely added that in there. And I just decoupaged everything down and that's basically all you have to do. Just make sure to go over everything in the end with a lot of Mod Podge just to lock it and seal it all in. Put it on your nightstand, put some perfumes on it, store some books on it, whatever you want to use it for. Just a quick disclaimer before I start this next project, I know a lot of people are gonna say that this is not fire safe, but do keep in mind that it's honestly the same exact thing as having an extension cord touching a rug or an extension cord under your bed, touching a piece of clothing or just touching your bedding in general. This is completely coated in plastic. So if there is for some reason a spark or something that happens where this thing blows up, it's probably going to light something on fire anyways. So having this little bit of cord around the wire is not going to affect it. It is coated, there's no live wire showing, so do keep that in mind. What you're gonna need for this project is a Kapla extension cord, some brass spray paint, hot glue, macrame cord, some tape and scissors. So what I started off by doing was taking my tape and just taping off the front side of this extension cord because I didn't want anything to get in those actual outlet holes. Then I also taped off the little clicker at the top. I brought it outside and gave it a nice spray painted brass touch. So I sprayed it with my 14 karat brass spray paint and let that dry of course. And then I peeled off those tapes sort of as a mask just to expose the actual outlets. And next what you're gonna do is use your macrame cording just to tape it on the actual cord. And I did make sure to kind of keep it away from the edge. So I kept it about half of an inch away from the actual edge or the start of the extension cord. And then I just wrapped the macrame cording all the way down using hot glue and it's going about at an inch section each time. So I did about an inch of glue then I would wrap the cord around a couple of times. And this is just a great way to create an extension cord that you would like to actually be seen. So cause a lot of the times you don't want your extension cords to be shown. So I thought this was a great way to just create something that added a little bit of focal aspects to your living room or your bedroom or something. And that is the completed project.
