If you haven’t seen Emma Chamberlain’s Arch Digest Tour yet, you are seriously missing out. It may arguably be one of the best yet! As we were watching, a statement chandelier caught our eye and we thought “I think I want that….” but after looking into it, we found the listing and the price tag is maybe just a little (or a lot) out of our budget.

Watching her do this definitely tells me why the glass formed one was 50K. Like omg the time it took for her to use acrylic probably took longer with glass forming those chains.

@rachaeldiviney712 Жыл бұрын

so for the sweater vest, if anyone else want's to do it make sure you use a zig-zag stitch. It's stretchy and should always be used with stretch fabrics, it can also help stop fraying

@jo4vt Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this advice! I was thinking that was the case, because I’ve been researching how to turn old sweaters into sweater vests and skirts, and it was clear I was supposed to use a zig zag stitch, but I didn’t know the reasoning behind it until your comment. :)

Quite labor intensive, but for 50k?! Heck yeah! The end result looks professional too!

From the thumbnail I thought you just found fancy shower curtain rings and hooked them together, but the fact that you dyed and bended them yourself just made this chandelier so much more special!!! The only thing I would do differently is adjust the way the links come together at the ceiling, in some places it looks a little messy, but overall you really nailed it!!!! You did a fantastic job!

Have they ever explained how ownership of the DIYs works? It seemed strange that something Rachel made and loved ended up in Kelsey's home especially when most of the things Kelsey and Becky make are for their own homes.

@killerpanda2086 Жыл бұрын

yeah i was thinking the same thing. but then again she could make the same thing for her own home, but better, cause now she has practice? idk 😅

@danieldotson528 Жыл бұрын

I guess you could consider that 1. She isnt an equal partner/owner of the company they built- so company or Kelsey probably paid for all of the materials ( I'm sure the company doesnt pay for personal projects Kelsey and Becky do in thier own homes) she is an employee, she was definitely paid to make it as well, 2. She might not have room in her apt. for it, so when she was inspired by it, she probably pitched the idea to Kelsey since she is needing to fix up that space anyway

@stephanie-g Жыл бұрын

I feel like she maybe didn't have a place for it in her home while kelsey did and rachel didn't mind kelsey using it :-) Also I feel like if rachel wanted it back to use, kelsey would give it back probably?

@rebeccat8061 Жыл бұрын

Great job! In the future, the easiest way to make chain links is actually to make a long coil (maybe using 2 dowels as a jig) and then cut through it. That way you can easily close the chain links! If you look up how to make jump rings for jewelry, it’s the same concept.

@otakelblanchemanor0659 Жыл бұрын

Love it! I can see it hanging from my porch! Love the fact that you can dye the 'chain' to any color you need. Also, incredible job on sweater/vest transformation! Seriously! That was a transformation! From ugly sweater to fashionable vest... who would have guessed! I will definitely be looking at ugly sweaters differently now. And when you cut off the sleeves, my first thought was boot socks! Fun and fabulous video!

I was impressed by how the oval happened to have the right circumference for the 8” rods. I would’ve liked a smaller distance between the ends though, so if the pattern was a little smaller. Would never have thought to do this. I was just like “get the chains from the hardware store” but I think those acrylic chain links are super in. I keep seeing glasses chains like that

Having the tools and know how to use them is something to pay for. YOU have the right tools and know how to use them. That makes a difference.

The sweater also turned BETTER out in the new shape, and the sleeves as arm warmers are both funny and useful.
