  • [MUSIC]

  • Welcome back to my channel and my bedroom.

  • I thought it would be fun for

  • me to do a video on if you have maybe like a plain room how like,

  • you can add just tiny little things to, I guess, add some personality to it.

  • Make it fun.

  • Make it pop.

  • Everything in this video takes, like, less than an hour.

  • Everything in this video takes less than an hour to make.

  • And hopefully, you guys like these kind of videos and if you do,

  • then hit the like button, so that I know that you guys like these kind of videos.

  • And I will do more like easy decor videos in the future.

  • Okay so I'm gonna show you guys the things I made starting with the first thing.

  • So the first thing you need is an old jar of some sort.

  • I'm using this old cookie butter jar cuz it's definitely empty.

  • I made sure of that.

  • But you can use like an old jam jar, mason jar, as long as it is a jar.

  • If the label is giving you problems, which I'm sure it will,

  • just take some nail polish remover.

  • And go overall like the remaining sticky paper residue left over.

  • And it'll just come right off.

  • So now your jar is clean.

  • And, you wanna take another cup.

  • And in that cup, you wanna pour in like an inch or so of just regular table salt.

  • Then afterwards, you wanna grab a piece of colored chalk.

  • Whatever color you want to.

  • I chose blue.

  • And then you wanna go ahead and stir the salt around with your colored chalk stick.

  • And you can see, it's magically turning the salt into a blue hue.

  • This is not edible anymore by the way.

  • Stir it for maybe, 15 seconds.

  • I mean, the longer you stir, the stronger the color will get.

  • Now, pour the magic salt into your jar of choice.

  • Now continue this process with all of the colors.

  • The next one I'm gonna use is pink.

  • I'm gonna stir my pink chalk around, turn the salt pink, pour it in the jar.

  • The next one I'm gonna use is green.

  • Same thing.

  • Pour it in the jar and

  • you just keep layering them on top of each other until you have this rainbow salt.

  • Deal, dealio.

  • Can you even believe how cute it is?

  • I can't.

  • Now afterwards, go ahead and like shove your makeup brushes in there.

  • Shove your pencils in there, shove something in it.

  • Then, place it on your shelf somewhere where everyone can see it.

  • It's so cute.

  • [LAUGH] All right, so that's done.

  • Now, the next thing I'm gonna show you guys how to make is really easy.

  • You need like a pillar candle of some sort.

  • I'm gonna use a tall one and a short one.

  • And then afterwards, take some masking tape and create a design.

  • I'm just gonna go ahead and wrap my masking tape, like around the center.

  • A little bit more towards the bottom though, so

  • not directly in the center, I guess.

  • I don't know, is that in the center?

  • Anyway, on the bottom portion of the candle only,

  • I'm going to spread around some glue.

  • I used my fingers.

  • I don't know why I did that.

  • And then I'm gonna go ahead and dump on some gold glitter because I just chose

  • gold, but you can use any color you want to.

  • Maybe if it coordinates with your room, you can use like a different color.

  • Once it is completely covered, make sure it's completely covered,

  • you can go ahead and remove your tape.

  • And then you'll see that it kinda created like this cute little half glitter look.

  • And if you're worried about like the glitter fallout getting everywhere and

  • creating a mess, which happens all the time, just take some hairspray.

  • And with the hairspray, just spray it on the glitter portion and

  • that will stop a lot of the fallout from getting like all over your bedroom.

  • And that one is done.

  • Now for the second one, I'm going to actually take a piece of paper.

  • I'm going to fold it in half, and on the half, I'm gonna draw,

  • you know, half of a heart.

  • This way it's perfectly symmetrical.

  • Make sure it lines up with your candle,

  • like it's not too big or anything like that.

  • Afterwards cut it out and then tape that onto your candle.

  • And once you have it taped on with your masking tape then go ahead and

  • sponge on some glitter where the heart opening is.

  • Be very careful to stay on like inside of the, the heart, not get it anywhere else.

  • And then afterwards, I'm gonna dump some glitter on it.

  • Once it is completely covered in glitter, I'm going to remove the piece of paper and

  • I'm gonna kinda take another sponge and just clean up the edges of the heart and

  • this should be like really, really easy to do since it's still wet.

  • And this is what it looks like when it's all done.

  • And now you have this pair, of little, cute, glitter decorative

  • hearts that you can place on your shelves, or use as like book stoppers.

  • If you have books on your shelf or on your dresser, or anything like that.

  • And it's cute.

  • And cheap.

  • Okay, so for the next thing you want just plain white pillow cases.

  • Boring ones.

  • Mine are just kind of old.

  • I'd have nothing really to do with them.

  • I don't really use them, so I decided to make something out of them.

  • So, I'm gonna get two pieces of paper stacked on top of each other.

  • Then I'm gonna draw half of a heart.

  • I like hearts, obviously.

  • So, I'm drawing half of a heart on top of a piece of paper, then I'm gonna cut out

  • the heart, take out the bottom piece of paper, and flip it over.

  • And this will give me a perfectly shaped cut out heart that is

  • big enough for a pillow.

  • And I'm gonna tape the pieces directly onto the center of my plain white pillow.

  • Make sure it's in the center cuz you don't want it like too far off to one side.

  • It'll just look little weird.

  • Then I'm gonna take some fabric paint.

  • These are really, really cheap, and

  • I chose blue because my room has a lot of blue in it.

  • I'm gonna mix a couple colors to get the perfect shade of blue.

  • Then I'm going to go ahead and mix it around.

  • I'm using a makeup sponge, but you can use whatever you want, a paint brush.

  • I just chose to use a sponge because I just wanted that look for this.

  • And then afterwards, I'm going to gently start sponging onto my cut out heart.

  • Now, don't go too rough around the edges because if you go too rough,

  • you can get it underneath the paper and then it will ruin your design.

  • So just try to be careful.

  • Now, after I have covered the top half,

  • I'm going to actually ombre the heart into a lighter color.

  • So I'm gonna mix a little bit more white in with my paint and

  • just kind of blend that onto the top color of blue.

  • And add a little bit more white onto the bottom portion.

  • So it's gonna be like three different colors kind of all blended together.

  • And you can do like completely different strokes.

  • You can use like a different brush.

  • I chose to kind of use the stamping technique to keep it kind of messy,

  • handmade, rustic looking.

  • But it's up to you how you wanna do it.

  • Then remove your paper.

  • And you have this really cute, handmade, ombre heart pillow case.

  • And then let it dry like overnight before you place it

  • on your pillow cause it probably bled through a little bit.

  • And then it'll just give your bed like some personality if you just have plain

  • pillows and don't really wanna spend the money for a whole new bed set.

  • Try it with stars, maybe.

  • Try it with your initials.

  • Just something cute to spice up your bed.

  • And then the last thing I'm gonna make is this really cute like nightlight lamp

  • thing that I am, like in love with right now.

  • So just take like an old jar or vase.

  • I'm using this old vase from when I got flowers when I was really sick one time.

  • Get your masking tape back out.

  • And on the masking tape, you wanna go ahead and draw some stars.

  • And, I'm not, this, I'm not good at it.

  • I'm really not good at drawing stars, I realize.

  • But they don't have to be perfect.

  • So, do as many as you want to, then afterwards you,

  • want to take your scissors and you wanna cut out the stars.

  • Then, one by one, go ahead and gently place them all over your vase, or jar.

  • And you can put them wherever you want to.

  • You can put them close together, far apart, you don't even have to do stars.

  • You could do circles, hearts, whatever you want to.

  • And then once you have them all placed in your ideal locations,

  • you want to go ahead and spray paint around the stickers that you just placed,

  • so make sure that they're all the way on.

  • And I'm using this gold, really, really shiny, pretty gold spray paint.

  • I'm spraying it on the outside of the vase, not on the inside.

  • Because I don't know what that will do scientifically

  • if a flame hits it and there's gonna be a candle inside, so I'm gonna go ahead and

  • spray it on the outside instead.

  • And you might need more than one coat of spray paint,

  • depending on, I actually ended up needing more than one.

  • I found out the next day, but it's good enough.

  • So let it dry for, you know, a few hours.

  • Then afterwards go ahead and peel off your star stickers.

  • Then you'll have these cute little oh, it's a cute little design.
