hey guys i'm back with another dollar store makeover i've been doing a lot of holiday themed
dollar store makeovers i got some stuff at the dollar store i'm back with another dollar store
makeover today dollar store dollar store i stopped by the dollar store again dollar store dollar
this isn't gonna be one of those instead this is going to be more along the lines of
date night on the sea which might sound like it has something to do with valentine's day but
it doesn't at all we're taking a break from the holidays that's quite enough of that i found some
treasures at the dollar store more specifically this treasure chest it's tiny it's cute and it's
made of some sort of wood easy to paint on for one dollar 25 it's not bad i especially
like this little gold hardware situation that's fancy the lock even has a nice click to it and
the sticker peeled off very easily for once so things are going well never been better it has
a bit of texture already so no sanding needed i just went straight in with the paint things are
moving quickly prepare yourselves i tried not to get any paint on the hardware itself but obviously
i successfully failed that task i'll just fix it with acetone not a big deal things are starting
to get fancy now i added some gold accents what a fancy mess i've made i then went back over the
purple to add some texture just to make the chest look a little more aged and magical vintage if
you will it looks like it's just more purple but it's not your average purple it's a sparkly purple
though evidently it's not sparkly enough it didn't really do much at all that neither razzled
nor dazzled it looks meh fancy but still mad honestly underwhelming but that's fine patience
beauty is on the inside ooh what a beauty it's a potato take a moment to admire the potato
i'm using epoxy to sculpt a monster who's going to be like peeking out you can't really see much of
him other than his face because well most of him is inside the treasure chest that's not creepy
at all obviously this treasure box is missing something treasure so i added some scraps of
aluminum the aluminum is actually just meant to fill up the space i laid down a layer of epoxy
on top just to hide all that foil no one needs to see that i just smoothed everything over with
water now this doesn't look anything like treasure so i added some texture i wanted it to look like
he's submerged in a horde of cash money so i made it rain some coins to diversify his fortunes i'm
going to be adding some precious jewels i'm making the jewels out of resin i actually got this little
resin and mold in nerdy crafters craft kit some time back i just added the resin added the paint
mixed it and shined the light for 30 seconds and voila precious jewels i started painting the coins
which are looking more like cheerios now that i'm looking at it the monster is supposed to be like a
goblin goblins are known to be greedy they love shiny glittery things everything that glitters
is gold the only thing is i painted him orange orange goblins aren't normally orange orange
was honestly a random color choice i chose orange because i wanted some contrast
orange is obviously in stark contrast to purple it just so happens that the personalities of the
chest and the goblin are also contrasting each other to the point where they might be clashing i
really just didn't want to make a green goblin so here we are i added in the gems and now it's done
i love it he looks very cartoony i always try to go for a silly creepy cute kind of vibe i'm never
intentionally trying to give you nightmares though i must admit bobo was a little horror inducing
my apologies you might recall the theme of this video is date night on the sea my orange goblin
isn't actually the one on the date he's just a side character a stowaway on a ship
i picked this boat up at the dollar store i saw a ton of these little diy crafty things in the
craft section includes everything you need that's not a good sign they're being very technical with
the ship terms we've got strings stern masts booms it looks pretty simple to be honest
i'm just gonna glue everything together and see what happens so here's the whole shipwreck
strings sticks and everything else it's all here i guess they included instructions for a reason
i put the cabin on sideways lucky for me i've been working out so i just ripped it right off of there
not too bad it's missing its sails but i'll get back to those first i'm gonna paint the
whole thing i want this to be sort of like a ghost ship i went in with some light blue hues
i wanted it to look like it's glowing it doesn't really look like it's glowing but that was kind of
the vibe i was going for it's a pretty tiny ship so i couldn't really add much detail to it either
i did add these lines so that's something it was meant to give off like a wooden kind of feel fake
blue glowing haunted wood yup the cabin obviously doesn't have enough windows it didn't have any
windows so i added some of my own with posca i tried adding the sails they don't fit if you look
at the picture on the bag they're supposed to come all the way down to the booms here but obviously
as you can see they don't do that honestly this was the only disappointing thing about this little
craft thing it's not a huge deal i could just leave it as is i think it still looks pretty cool
but i have a bunch of felt so i'm just making my own sails i wanted my sails to look kinda ripped
and tattered they've been through many a storm on the high seas but that's not really the point this
yacht if you will is a mere vessel for a romantic date night on the sea trevor's going out on a date
i bet you guys didn't see that one coming who's the unlucky girl this freak of nature she turned
out scarier than i wanted her to she's got very hollow soulless eyes i wanted her to look like
a normal cute little pink ghost but this is what i ended up with i guess trevor's got a type ugly
is the type yikes at least she can stand though trevor's lacking a little stability but that's
all right nothing a little hot glue can't fix i'm kinda curious if this boat would float in water
romantic date night on the sea a little sailboat some old pirate booty you can
probably tell this video is loosely ocean themed and what else can you find in the sea
plenty of trash see the connection it's a weak link but it was also a tough week it's a trash can
on wheels so you can drive around in your trash if that's your thing i don't judge it's a smooth
surface it's plastic i want to paint on it but i wasn't quite sure if the paint was going to stick
we'll see first things first this trash signs gotta go it came off pretty easy with acetone
but if you see it in a certain light the ghost of the trash sign is still there so that's a little
weird i can't seem to completely get rid of it but whatever i'm going to paint over it anyway today
i have this vision in my head for a character that's just begging to be released it's a trash
can so i wanted the character to be like trash not look like trash but enjoy collecting trash
so i'm drawing a hamster who's a hoarder he likes making arts and crafts out of trash i started
painting him yellow this whole time i didn't really know what color i wanted to make him after
a bit of yellow i realized he's looking a little too much like a sponge i'll have to fix that
he's got a little starbucks cup on his head the drink has spilled all over him it's pink lemonade
i wanted it to look like he's bursting out of a pile of trash i don't know if i achieved that
i don't really know how to draw a pile of trash so it just kind of looks like a lumpy white blob
similar to his drink of choice his fur is also pink a light salmony pink not a typical hamster
color but that's because he's not your typical hamster the little thing coming out of his mouth
is supposed to be a straw i wish i would have made it bigger it's kind of hard to tell what it is now
that i'm looking at it regrets i thought i had made it a starbucks cup but i guess at some point
i decided to give it a smiley face it's a walmart cup now i tried going over the straw to define it
a bit i think it looks a bit more like a straw now improvement the pile of trash however has not been
improved on at all and spoiler alert spoiler alert it won't be improved because here it is
i named this hamster guy scumper kind of like scum of the earth trash you know scumper i think it's
spinning i don't really know what i'm gonna use this thing for i'm pretty sure it's meant to be
a pencil holder but i don't need any more pencil holders i could store chocolate in it but to be
honest i don't really like chocolate that much i just have these reeses that my mom keeps buying me
and i never run out of them because i never eat them so here you go scumper all for you
i just got back from the best date night in the world click on the top right or bottom
left if you want to join me on my next romantic venture you
