wow this looks so much like the inspo i love how this one turned out this is this is fine
hello welcome back to my channel my name is wendy and today we're doing a little bit of diy home
decor one of my editors michelle has recently moved into a new apartment and she was just
looking for some easy ways to add some personality and decor from the photos that she sent i felt
like one of the nicest areas to address is the first thing she sees when she sits up in bed in
the morning it is this dresser space she kind of has like various skincare here there's a window
to the left and there's a lot of room for us to change up how this looks i'm going to give you
three easy ideas they're super versatile you could use them anywhere in your home for michelle we'll
use it to put together a little vanity space but for you yeah do what you please one more thing i'm
really excited about which is that this video is sponsored by wishtrend which if you don't know is
a global ecommerce beauty company right now they carry eight brands three of them are their own you
might have heard of them claire's by wish trend jungle botanics and the other ones they carry are
i'm from cosrx skin and lab eclair and rovectin but everything on their website is cruelty free
not made with any harmful ingredients and i have a special little skincare box package just with them
i'll tell you more about this bundle later in the video but it is discounted it is seriously such
a good price and these are my everyday skincare basics for happy supple protected skin it'll come
with everything you see here except it won't come with this little water resistant fabric basket
which i will show you how to make right now we're starting with just a few cuts of fabric you need a
you need a circle for the base one more identical circle in the same fabric for the lining
and then this like super firm interfacing if you've been a long time follower you
might have seen it when i made a like convertible backpack let me know if you
remember it comes on a big roll like this the edges are literally just like plastic
woven apparently it's fusible and then for the wall i've got two identical rectangles one will be
fused to the interfacing one will become the lining and then a wall rectangle i
haven't cut out in a bigger basket and then an even bigger basket if you want the exact
dimensions of all these pieces that we cut i will put that in the description this is the bad
boy i'm using now the reason this interfacing is key is because this is the inspiration for these
fabric baskets so you need to add something firm that can help it stand on its own and on top of
that we're going to try to add a water resistant feature as well all right very first step
is to bring the short ends together right sides touching straight stitch right here from the last
time i used this interfacing i found hammering the seams to get it to lay open was super helpful
once it's all open it can be carefully pinned to the bottom circle right sides touching
that's a real arm workout oh my gosh okay i think i should give it a couple of good
snips and then we'll flip it inside out
it's cute time to repeat but now way easier because there's no more interfacing
just the fabric lining right sides together along the short edge with a straight stitch
and then pin that to the wheel also i did switch to my zipper foot
which made a huge difference it can maneuver the rounded corners a bit better
basket interfacing liner i think i'm just going to sew these
right sides together with a straight stitch and stop when i can't go any farther just this rim
this looks so much like the inspo i'm gonna give this lip a top stitch and in the process close off
this one last run gap the fan with expertise wow i've got a method going where i use a
slightly bendy ruler to push on the corners and then i'll take the hammer
push in my fingers are safe from the stabbage and the corners are turning out nice and snappy to
really finish off the baskets and make them a more durable and waterproof solution from the tutorials
online it looks like there's a wide variety of wax that is eligible we're going to give this one a
try julia and i multitasked our way through this whole project so she is here applying the beeswax
to all of the basket surfaces after that a hair dryer will do the trick to melt it into the fabric
so there's no residue left in case you want to know how much wax to get we just had this little
jelly bean left over definitely give this a try because just the melting alone is so satisfying
our one layer of beeswax provided a decent level of water resistance so julie and i felt pretty
good finishing off a few more baskets wait until the end we will show you how it all came together
good morning welcome to my bare face in the bathroom today we get to do something that
i've never gotten to do on my channel before and i'm so excited we're going to talk about skin care
that's not the new part the new part is that i've partnered with wishtrend and they've taken all the
skincare products that i've used consistently throughout the whole year as part of just like
daily everyday easy skincare they bundle it up together put a little discounted group bundle
price tag on it for you and now you can get it for yourself for your loved ones it's what i've been
sticking to all year gentle cleansing nourishing sun protection even though we're indoors still
sun protection i'll give you a quick breakdown of all the products in it and where you can get
the whole set but first i gotta wash my face i put in contact so you can see more of my face but the
low ph good morning gel cleanser by cosrx i feel like this has been so raved about on all sorts of
youtube channels it's a gel based super gentle friendly to all skin types cleanser and it has
like the ever so slightest faintest smell that's really soothing this is the first item included
in my wish trend kit now bundled at a discount the next thing in the kit is the next thing i use in
the morning my claire's supple preparation facial toner it's watery but with like a slightly goopy
texture so it feels like it really stays on your skin there is a fragrance free version of this but
personally i have to say i really love the very very gentle scent that it comes with it's like
ever so faintly lavender so it feels great the last thing included for your everyday morning care
is the claire's soft air uv essence everyday sun protector even when i'm indoors uva uvb rod
spectrum protected and the real reason beyond all this that i like this is there's no white
cast it comes out white which i understand can be intimidating and you just move it all over
say no to sun damage and we're good of course you can stick in your own eye care serums anything
else you need in the morning i just find those things tend to be a bit more personal and so i
wanted to create a kit that was more universally lovable just the stuff that's all about cleansing
and taking gentle care of your skin my own eye cream and serums are from wishtrend as well so
if you're there looking for my kit you can also shop around and see what else you want the first
item that i've included for your nighttime care is the buy wish trend green tea and enzyme powder
wash it is the number one wish trend cleanser that they have on their whole site it's got a low ph it
is so refreshing as a scrub it's got this gentle exfoliation and it removes your skin impurities
it is great for oily and acne prone skin and also on top of that i love powder washes because
it feels like it lasts so long since there's no water content in here but you're mixing it in
your hand and lathering it up so it's like a solid-state concentrate is how it feels
and finally the number of times this thing has saved me from like a tv appearance or whatever
and having a big pimple on my face it is the cosrx acne pimple master patch literally can't
live without this is a hydrocolloid spot patch that provides concentrated spot care
it comes in three sizes so you can accommodate whatever the shape and size of the wound you
just stick it right onto your pimple sleep with it in the morning bit gross but you'll see like
all the kind of like creamy white stuff that has been sucked into the patch then you peel it off
and as soon as it's flat and dry that means if you want to you can put some makeup on it and it'll
stay great i always travel with these i always have spares it's helped me out so many times
based on when i think this video is going up the wish trend black friday week is literally ending
today you can get up to 45 off you can still get up to 45 off all the way until the end of the week
december 2nd it's just that i think they won't have as many items eligible for the sale the link
to shop my skincare box is in the description you can get free shipping as long as wishtrend
ships to you until december 28th you just use the code come here normally everything here is valued
at eighty four dollars but you're going to get it for 35 off it will just be 54.60 which honestly if
you use it like me could last you half a year so this is a crazy good deal thank you wishtrend for
sponsoring this video hope you guys are all taking good care of yourselves and let's get back to
the home decor for project two i wanted to make this really popular urban outfitters fan that
i've seen it's 99 and i think it uses these teeny tiny little bits of wood but i'm wondering if i
can make a paper version maybe with like manila paper which is a paper used in pattern drafting
it's pretty sturdy and then i realized i could just use my backdrop paper hoping that this was a
bright idea i unrolled about 2.5 meters and julia measured and scored the paper with the back of a
butter knife every inch in order to prepare it for folding it is time to tap into past you in
elementary school putting accordion folds into scrap paper to make fans springs squiggles worms
whatever it was you know that you've done this just maybe not at this scale i feel
like it means we need another 100 inches so much more material than i thought okay 200 inches now
we're like trying to see if maybe this is enough but we just fold it in half this is this is fun
yeah let's do this the goal is to make a shape that is like a pie missing a big fat
slice so by doubling the length we hoped to make it further around the circle i've gone
through all this effort to tape a string all the way through the center spine of the fan
i've used tape like quite frequently with a couple of knots you gotta cover the whole thing
or else the fan could tilt but now the issue is we got to get away to get one side always
condensed so the rest of it can fan out i've punched a tiny little hole into here at the end
and the idea is to use string and these little holes to alright saying that all out loud actually
made me realize what we should do i'm putting all these tiny holes into the back so that we
can just put a string through all of them and that will condense it i'm using my leather punch
the original fan seems to have some kind of tube providing structure this used to be a
toilet paper roll and i think we're gonna wrap it in thread so that it looks all upholstered and
fancy the little tube got secured to the center of the fan along with these pretty tassels
this was a pretty structurally tricky project but we just have one more diy before we can hand
it all to michelle and see how it all works out the last diy to finish off michelle's vanity area
obviously has to include a mirror so i already had one of these i got two more of these they
come without the handle assembled and to help out with this idea i have you could get four hinges
we've got these the first thing i'm going to do is remove the handle from the one that i already own
a lot of time thinking just happened off camera but my thoughts have come too i added two markings
on this to indicate where the screws need to go for the hinge and i'm just giving them a
good old pre-drill got a stepladder here to help me get up high and have a good angle
and also the closest thing i have a protective eyewear and my hair is tied back let's do this
after drilling all the holes i screwed in these hinges the nails that the kit came with were a
little bit too long so then i used nails that i had even these ones are too long so i mean
you could not be like me and just buy the correct length of the screws we have a plan for covering
these up and making them look cute next i'm gonna put the mirrors together as ikea intended
whoa this is now a trifold there's still room for these to adjust if they so please
and julia helped to make them his little air dry clay gumdrops i'm gonna poke them onto these
little nails and then it's done we're throwing one more thing into the delivery for michelle and it's
this really beautiful thrifted glassware that i found we used mod podge and some dried flowers
gave it a much more personal touch and michelle can use this for jewelry or little trinkets
her keys i love how this one turned out and it's actually part of a series of little home
decor videos that i've been making i'll put a link in the description so you can watch them
we made this other one they're obviously not dishwasher safe after this treatment
so it's best for you to use it for dry goods things that are easy to wipe clean we ended
up making three in total two that are in the dusty pink they're roughly the same height
and then one that's wider and shorter in this nice taupe and here our trifold mirror i love
how all of them are still adjustable you could still hang this on the wall if you wanted to
and our little gumdrops keeping your fingers safe this guy this guy they're all going inside this
box and it's time to go hopefully if you make this van you won't have to take it anywhere because
she took up the entire back of the car on a day of record snowfall we drove very carefully
and then i gave michelle this high quality drawing to guide her in putting it all together here once
again is a reminder of how her dresser looked before and here is her new accent vanity space
i finally had some time to sit around and settle down and think about my life
i must admit i don't know what comes next what to expect but i wanna get it right i just wanna be
happy with me
okay are you ready to show me yes oh i'm so excited oh it's so peaceful
when i saw the package i was very shook did you have like a favorite part of everything that we
sent you this mirror reflects off of my window it's like a automatic one of those like kim
kardashian like selfie light things if you guys try any of these ideas please do let us know you
can find more photos of michelle's face i'll put it on my instagram and i'll tag her too if
you want to creep her as well and as always if you make any of these things use hashtag madewithwendy
thank you all so much for watching we'll see you in the next video bye-bye
