Hi, I'm Jan Rezab this is Social Media Minute.
Today I wanna talk about
how to make your video and content go viral on social media.
The important part is, step one, don't try and make your video go viral.
Because trying to make your video go viral
is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, you basically can't do it.
If you're focusing on that and your agency says "let's go make a viral video",
don't use that agency.
You really have to make shareable content that is engaging,
reaches the right audience at the right time in the right place.
It could happen that that video will be shared a little bit more
and occasionally it can happen that it might go viral.
But usually what video makers do when they "go" viral is
they're being featured a bit better, they have the right keywords in them,
so it's more the hard work and the community building behind it
that makes the videos go viral.
But there's no such thing as going viral and people still don't realize this.
What is it about? It's about making the right content.
Step one.
Really finding out and inspiring yourself of what other people do,
what resonates with the audiences.
Then, it's choosing the right channels, the platforms, the methods,
the types of content, the call-to-actions.
There's a lot of hard work behind it.
Not just *poof* a really good viral video.
Then of course, it's about promotions, ads and audiences.
You really have to figure out:
Is that influencer someone I wanna work with to boost my audience?
Is that ad strategy I have the right one?
Are my audiences being selected properly
or am I just chasing for volumes of engagement and views?
Which you shouldn't, you should focus that whole strategy around your objective.
Please, stop trying to make your videos go viral.
Stop trying to make your content go viral.
Because what are you gonna do?
You're gonna have one viral video that you're gonna put out there
and it's gonna have a lot of views. What are you gonna do with that audience?
Do you have a follow-up viral video?
You know, viral videos are one kind of thing,
you can't typically repeat them.
And to repeat them, that's very, very random at that point.
If you're gonna have a big spike in a viral video,
you're not gonna have anything to say to that audience afterwards.
Again, planning, consistency, promotions and advertising
and the right strategy and planning behind your content.
Please, share this with your agency.
If they think they can build a viral video for you, share this video.
If you and your colleagues think that viral video are the thing,
again, share this video because there's no such thing as a viral video anymore.
You can have a highly-shared video, not a viral video.
Thanks for watching.

Make Your Own Fall Wedding Bouquet | Southern Living - Duration: 2:37.
Hi, I'm Buffy Hargett.
I'm gonna show you some easy tips
on making a bridal bouquet. (gentle guitar music)
So you wanna use three to five stems of each flower.
That makes a nice sized bridal bouquet,
without being too big or too small.
We're gonna fill it with water.
I've chosen one
that's about five inches by five inches square.
I've cut my stems
about two inches above the rim.
So we're gonna start by crisscrossing our stems
in the water.
Very simple.
And I'm gonna use just sort of a random placement
that gives it a real natural feel.
'Kay now we're gonna do the Freja.
I love this one.
And then the Ranunculus.
I'm gonna let some of these hang out just a little bit,
to make it feel very natural.
The reason I've chosen this color pallette,
because it is very popular.
It's a very trendy color pallette right now.
This is Dusty Miller.
I wanna make sure you know that this needs water,
so you need to leave your bouquet in water
for as long as you can,
until it's time for pictures, or to walk down the aisle.
And then I'm gonna add a little seeded eucalyptus
to hang out the sides.
This is a pretty fern you can get at the florist.
And I'm gonna add a couple of pieces of that
to give it a real pretty, soft look.
What we're gonna do is take ribbon,
I've precut this.
I'm gonna simply wrap this around the vase at the top,
and then raise it up to right above the vase,
and we're gonna just simply tie it in a nice knot,
kind of a double knot.
You wanna make sure
that all of your stems are trimmed to the same length.
And then I'm gonna wrap this around a few more times
to gather it lower on the stems,
which is gonna make a tighter bouquet for ya.
Once you've got your ribbon tied in a couple of places,
you're gonna wanna add some fresh ribbon and a bow,
if you like that.
Alright, I'm gonna tie a bow
to finish it off.
And there you have it.
The easiest way to make a bouquet at home.

ZELDA KUCHEN BACKEN/ HOW TO MAKE A ZELDA HYLIAN SHIELD CAKE/ SWEETS FOR GEEKS - Duration: 9:12.
Hello and welcome to a new episode of Sweets for geeks!
I am Madlen and... this is Link^^.
And we are happy you guys are watching this video! <3
I have decided to make this video in German, because I saw that most of my viewers are from Germany.
So it makes more sense to talk in German. Hence I am doing subtitles for my English viewers <3. I love you guys!
So yeah 80% of my viewers are from Germany...
so yeah
Hallo :)
Today I made Link's Hylia shield.
I think it turned out great.
Link - I could just put the cake on your back and then you would always carry food with you around.
No need for you to "bake" cake anymore.
On the camp fire....
I honestly don't know how you do it?! That's not how you make a cake. ;)
Today I made a "Selterswasserkuchen" (Sparkling water cake) with Nutella buttercream.
So let's start to make the cake! :)
The things you will need will be: 2 bowls, a stir mixer, a spatula, a baking pan lined with a piece of baking paper
And since I was mega careful also I greased and floured the pan^^
You will also need eggs, sugar, sunflower oil
flour
baking powder, lemon zest
salt
and sparkling water.
And the exact ingredients and measurements are in the description and as well on my homepage.
Start by putting your eggs,
sugar, oil in a bowl and mix until frothy.
In the second bowl sift in the flour,
baking powder and salt together and
add the lemon zest as well. Stir until combined.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet.
Lastly, stir in slowly and gradually the sparkling water to the cake.
Distribute the cake butter evenly onto the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degree celsius with lower and upper heat turned on.
The cake is done, when it is golden brown or once you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
I forgot to note down the exact baking time, but it was also not mentioned in the recipe :O
Just until it is done^^. Just keep an eye on it. I believe it was about 20 minutes.
Don't tell anyone but the cake has been in the fridge for 5 days now :3
I didn't have the time to finish this video. Haha.
No time ^^
So I also tested it on the first day :D Because I knew I wasn't going to have time for 5 days.
But you cannot eat the cake anymore when it is 5 days old^^.
But I can tell you, it was yummy!
And for your next step you will need the chilled cake.
A Hylia shield template twice, I have printed mine out on A4 paper and they have 17cm width
Hence, I can put them onto the cake next to eachother, so I get 2 cakes.
a cake board
one portion of my Nutella buttercream
Recipe is in the description
or if you click on the I now.
a spatula, a bread knife, a fork and vanilla syrup.
Start by cutting out 2
Hylian shield
from the cake
Use the excess cake to make cake pops or
you are a person like me, having the excess cake
lay around in the kitchen all day and then just pass by there all day... ;) Nom.
Spread some buttercream onto the cake board.
Place the first cake on it.
Let the syrup soak in.
You can also pinch the cake with the fork a few times so the syrup can soak in better.
Add a layer of buttercream and smooth it out.
Add the second layer with the bottom side up.
This gives us a smooth work surface.
Push on slightly and add syrup
and buttercream.
Put a thin layer of buttercream around the cake.
That's the crumb coat.
Put the cake into the fridge for about 20 minutes to chill and for the buttercream to harden.
Add a second layer of buttercream and place the cake in the fridge once done.
While the cake is chilling
lets make the decoration.
You will need about 500 gram grey fondant
500 gram blue fondant
and yellow and red fondant
My yellow fondant contained some golden luster dust, which I have used for the Triforce.
Also a baking mat
A cake board which I have decorated with green fondant
a sharp cutting knife, brushed, edible glue or water
fondant tools, your templates, baking starch
and fondant rolling pins.
Roll out the blue fondant with some baking starch.
Cover the cake in blue fondant.
Smooth it out from the top to the bottom.
If your fondant rips, use a bit of fondant, that you mix with water to make a fondant paste. Put the paste on, and it should dry and look like the rest.
Repeat for your grey fondant.
Use your template to cut the blue piece free again.
Now are only missing the indentations into the shield and the rest of the decoration.
For the indentations I have used my fondant tools.
When you cut out the Triforce parts and the grey parts, tilt your knife a bit, when you cut it out. This gives it a more plastic look.
This would be difficult to form by hand.
Attach everything to the cake (with water or edible glue).
Use your template to help with the positioning.
And your done!
It's that easy...or tricky^^ :D I had to make my fondant decoration 3 times, until I was ok with it.
You are not alone in this :D
This is the finished Hylian shield cake! :)
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
If yes, give me a thumbs up

If you plan on making this cake, plan about 6 hours the fondant decoration is tricky.

That's it!
See you soon guys, Madlen <3!

How to Make Small Dovetail Boxes | Episode 3 | Paul Sellers - Duration: 28:28.
so now I'm ready to sand this and this is really all my sanding this is the neat
thing on all my project that is just about all the sanding I ever have to
do on my project I never have to do any more than that I'm not using abrasion to
create a flat surface
now the crisp lines almost disappear when I use the sand paper because it is
abrasive I'm doing this now so I don't have all the sanding to do it once now
I've got the rim of the box to do these pieces wood swells at a different rate
even this piece may have swell differently than this week this piece
after it was machined or after it was planed so I'm going to plane in any
uneven surfaces this surface is slightly higher than this one here so when my
knife hits there you can see it hits there and it hits there just slightly
hits there and there it's going clear so I have to plane this rim flush and this
is really fun make sure as you saw before that the plane is set perfectly
you want to have a very small amount to take off not a lot I'm clamping this low
in the vise not high in the vise see I'm about half an inch off or not quite level it
doesn't have to be level but now I'm ready to take off the high spots there
we start on these high pieces here so this was high this was flush so we start
here keep your plane on registered on the
surface of the rim and push this into that corner and keep going until
you're flush now I'm flush so that didn't take more than three or four
shavings I go to this one now I'm keeping my plane registered on this side
of the box here so that that helps me to keep the planes square if I go this way
I could be rocking over this way and that would cause me a problem when I
come to put the bottom on the box if this was the bottom so I'm going through
here this shaving is actually I'll try and show you this shaving is only half
the width here and so I'm gonna keep going on this one until I get a full
width shaving in there and I may need to go from this long reach here like this
again relying on the rim of the box to keep me square now the shaving has gone
- all of a sudden it's gone - about three quarters now here my plane is
sharp but you can see I think you can see I can see ripples in the surface of
this shaving here that tell me that I'm going against the grain a little bit but
because my plane is sharp the surface is still quite smooth so I'll show you what
I'm gonna do I can feel that I can see it this is one of the neat things about
hand planes it really brings you into a relationship with the wood so I'm going
from here I'm switching hands because I can use both hands because of the
practice I've had not quite so easy if you're not used to using a plane around
the corner just go gently I'm still going against the grain here but the
surface actually is quite smooth so see where my plane is registered now that's
guaranteeing that this is square so I can come back along here now if I want
to so we're nice and flush around here now
now I'm going definitely against the grain there and I don't think that's
acceptable so I'm going to go back around this way
because it was so smooth the other way so this is just an exercise in reading
the grain working with the grain then what's better shaving even though it
seemed to be jagged it really wasn't here that's going along right against
the grain see when I go this way now I'll come along here go along here I'm
going to go to there and that's my Rim done on this side I'm just going to I'm
not gonna slow down I'm just going to work as I would normally work this time
so you can see what it takes a little higher I can plane in this way I can turn
my plane around on the rim to go with the grain
I'm happy with that if this is my top edge i'm gonna break the corners
here like this: one, two -one, two more comfortable and I can go inside this corner to there and
then I come back this way so I'm within a about quarter of an inch half an inch
from the corners here a little bit more difficult that made that corner much
less sharp very nice really to touch
but these are techniques for the number four plane so now I'm going to put the
bottom on and to do that I've got another piece of wood here I don't know
if you can see in the surface of this this is a pencil line here from a
previous mark but I need to plane these undulations from the planar mark
out so place this on the underside of my box and I want an equi distance all the
way around I've allowed quarter of an inch on each on each edge I have not cut
it to length because I wanted to show you a couple of things about cutting it
it to length I've got a little saw mark in here from some previous cut so that has
to come out so first of all I'm going to this is only about an eighth from the
end so I'm going to take my knife create a knife wall and crosscut this grain all
the way around registering the stock of my knife against this edge for this
operation like this that guarantees that the wall on both sides is exactly the
same
like that going to use a bench hook for this only just chisel into this corner
here just to give me a little start for my saw and this is a tenon saw that I'm
using so I'm going to slide my saw right up against that knife wall that I
created no margin away from I go right up to it start on the back edge and then
lower the saw into the cut along the knife wall let me show you what I've got
here I'm I'm tight up against this knife wall there's no gap along there at all
and then I plane this one dead square what I'm gonna check here this is this
is sawn square so I don't have any gaps in there so I just have to clean up that
corner I don't actually have to do it but I want you to see how it's done so
here I probably could show you what I'm looking at here to how close we can get
but right on this front edge here there's a very different line that I can
see right along this edge and my rep my knife is the point of my knife is
resting on that RIM one is the sore-cut and the other is the knife wall and this
the fibers left from the saw are slightly above the knife wall so I'm
using the knife wall rim to guide my plane so I work down to the knife wall
I'll show you now so I'm not going all the way through because this will
definitely break now you can see how crisp and square my edge is here so I'm
dead true across dead square in both directions and when I put the square on
it's absolutely spot-on so it just took a few seconds really maybe no more than a
minute in reality so we placed the box on here and we equidistance this left
hand side so we have quarter of an inch here quarter an inch here and quarter
inch here I usually will just mark I already marked it with a pencil
previously but I usually take a knife make a mark and then check myself with
my rule and that's right on exactly on that quarter inch mark I'm going to
square the line across this face and do exactly as this the same as I did for the
other end this way end is way out of square
so I'm getting rid of that little knot on the end as well I'll be conscious of
that when I come to planing the end
little nick on this corner here just to start me off I don't need to go all the
way across with this hear that noise let me see if I can create it again listen
so I've got this wonderful smell coming from here this is a pocket of resin in
here and that is just so intense that I'm just filling my nostrils with it it's
a wonderful smell I've got to plane the surface just to take out any marks
and all my plane is set fairly shallow you just take it so I just worked across
the width like this I see the Rays and the flex in this just
glistening after I planed it so if you can see here just this pristine
beautiful surface now we rounding these ends I'm gonna round the ends because
several reasons really but when you put the the lip around the box sometimes you
catch it and if it's square the edge it'll it'll break or ding here I'm going
to put a 45 degree on here all the way across if you see yourself going wrong
and it's to get taking more off at this end of this and just take a couple of
extra strokes and correct it so I'm lowering the plane to 22 23 whatever
that angle is be splitting the difference then I go all the way down
and I start working up with the plane changing the angle every time I do the
same from this side i'm going to take this out and just show you I'm planning at a 45
degree so my plane is actually 45 degrees in the vise and after I've done
that when it's about an eighth of an inch wide I drop my hand this way to a
lower angle and then I go all the way down here and then with each pass I keep
lifting lifting lifting lifting all the way onto the top so that's what's
happening so I'll do this corner on your side so you can see so I'm working up
to the top then I take off the extra depth and I go with a much shallower
pass more frequent passes taking off literally a thousandth of an inch with
each pass this smoothes up the corner so where I have such minimal sanding that
all I have to do to get a perfect round is that I've got a lovely lovely
pristine round on this edge here so when my box is on like this it just comes
right to the edge now then here's a good point I want to make sure I don't plane under
this rim of the box so what I might suggest you do I've been gauging this by
eye is put your box onto your piece of wood like this equidistance everything
all the way around and then take a sharp pencil but don't press heavily and just
follow this line just to make sure you don't plain under the rim of your box on
that bottom piece that will just guide you you can do the same on the other
side here's another trick take your finger offer it to this line here like
this and you can just flip over and you can run a parallel line just like that
the same on this one it should be the same it is so you can run this line on
the underside like this and the same on this side too so you've got guide lines
all the way around on both sides now you do the ends first the reason you do the
ends first and not the long stretches is because if you go all the way through
and this does break you can always repair it on this long edge A little more
setting if your wood is bold a little the vise usually takes care of it if it
doesn't clump a piece of wood somewhere lower down to little clumps spring
clamps will probably do it on both sides so this would be the belly side here if
you clump it on either side that'll take the belly out and it'll keep that edge
crisper and straight 45 1/8 wide then drop your hand
drop your hand again and start working up changing the pitch of your plane so
you can see I'm 45 degrees or there abouts this way and I'm 45 degrees this
way so reset your plane I use a oil shock dragging a can just to grease the
bottom here
my body my fingers absorbed that vibration then so you can use your
fingers too you can see I'm here I've left my line here you can see that
pencil line there originally left so I've still got that I've still got it here so
I'm working just nicely now this long reach the long edges get rid of this dog
here
so here along this long gaze this is a very fine cut so I'm resetting my plane
so I turn this clockwise and then an extra quarter turn I've got a better
shaving and a good shaving now so one shaving all the way through to
make it dead straight then 45 degrees again now this time I don't have to
angle my plane this way I'm relying on the length of the sole of the plane for
this long edge and because I'm running along the main axis of the wood and
these cells are long cells going in this direction I can take a shaving all the
way through and I have no end grain on this end to contend with don't press too
hard because you can break this panel so my main weight and pressure is in the
forward thrust not down onto the wood so I'm taking off some weight from the
shaving
I try it and get this is as round as i can off the plane just to minimize the amount of
sanding I have to do sand right up and off the corner like that sand
right up like this and then go off the corner and it'll give you a lovely clean
mitered corner on this edge either one of these will work you can see here this
is very sharp there's no break out here it's all same on this edge here it's
exactly the same nice clean edge so one more rim and I'm ready to put this on
the box
so much nicer than a router this is very small to put a little bead on there with
a router this makes it so safe it's so enjoyable really that's the benefit of
hand tools how it can complement your woodworking so now when I place my box
on here all I have to do is really glue this on now and you can see the lovely
corner here how the two parts complement one another now the joinery is
harmonious and the composition of this corner is very beautiful the next stage
is to glue the bottom onto the mainframe the box sides and then one of the things
that I want to check for I've got my round overs done I've got my surface
planed and sanded I look for gaps right in this inside corner when I
squeeze this remember this is super thin stock so you can clamp anything out if
there are gaps but sometimes there's a gap on this outside edge because
something might not be planed square so we'd have to correct that but if this
was just this flexing if this was bent here down or up then I would just clamp
that out here here this is curved it a little bit with them with the dampness
or the exchange of moisture in the wood but you can see here I have a slight gap
but when I press here it just closes up right away so there's no issue there so
I'm going to place this on the Box even out the the distance there's equi
distance all the way around and when I've done that I make a small X I mean a
small L right in the corners like here on each of those internal corners and
that shows me exactly where i want to place my box when I drop it on
with the the glue on the underside rim so you can see I make these little
corner pieces here so when I flip over this was this way so I flip over this
way so I've got an exact match to those lines then I run a small bead of glue
along here like this all the way through you keep it continuous if you can and
that large glob at the beginning I just take this and get rid of it straight
away and then I use my finger all the way through underneath the bench there
you don't want too much glue you don't want it globbing up on the outside and then move
fairly quickly just to seek the box make sure you've got no glue this PVA just
peels off your fingertips and flip your box over and place it on the L at one
end and then lower the other end and line it up with the other two holes in
the inside corners and then I just press here taking care that it doesn't slip
and slide because it's floating on that RIM of glue just hold it there for a few
seconds and then slide it into position if it's if it slipped at all and I've
got my clamps ready I've also got some pieces of wood just to pack I've got
pads on the clamps so I don't have to worry too much I'm going to use this on
here keep the eye on that outside edge now when you apply clamp sometimes they
will cause slippage so keep your eye on the corner as you as you apply pressure
just apply one clump make sure nothing slides if it slides you have to take
this off and reposition that's got it fairly tight really right now
same with this one so it's moving gracefully and anticipating slippage
that will save any problems I'm gonna try and get away with just the four
clumps but if I can't I'll add some in the middle or wherever there is a gap
I'll check the ends if you remember we had a small gap here that gaps gone and
that gap has gone and I have a slight gap here and a slight gap here that's
because if I try and explain it to you these fibers are being compressed by the
clump and wood compresses remember it's like straws in long rows so it's
clamping there so it's causing this to belly on this end so I will need to put
because of the length I will need to put some extra clumps in the middle ply was
really good for this you can see I've used plywood I don't have much use of
plywood this is great so let's close that gap up and you may need two clamps
along that edge just it will vary depending on the thickness of this
bottom so I'm using a pad here because there's no pad on the clamp itself so
squeeze those up and then go back around and check the clamps now you've applied
this pressure just give an even pressure all the way around set this aside now
leave it overnight or whatever I easily just put it somewhere leave it till
tomorrow morning take it off and then I can put my finish off

How to make an elf hat with a dollar tree frame - Duration: 23:50.
hi Lori we are going to be making an elf hat and we're going to use
this form so a friend of mine who has Debi's wreath things she made a Santa
hat with this form from the Dollar Tree and it has really taken off I think
everyone is making them and I thought it would be fun if we made an elf hat with
it and we're gonna do it upside down like this and have our little elf legs
up here so it's gonna be fun so if you've never been on her channel make
sure you go over and check her out it's Debi's wreaths things and she is
also on Facebook like I am so go over and check her out she has a lot of
really great ideas too okay so this is what we're gonna use to do our little
hat but upside down so I'm gonna take all this stuff off because I don't need
it
okay all we want is the bare frame so I will just unravel all of this okay then
because what's great about this is the frame the frame of this and the fact
that you can get it for a dollar is pretty amazing what are you doing over
there Bella
okay so all I have left is this little part at the bottom
you
okay so once I've gotten it stripped what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cover it
in this red velvet ribbon now this is wire edged ribbon it's two and a half
inch I'm going to start at the bottom
and what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to take my hole punch I'm gonna
punch a hole on this ribbon and I'm gonna use that I mess it ty how about
tie this on just to keep it secure
yeah and then
I will start very carefully wrapping it around so I want to make sure if I have
any pieces that are starting to buckle that I go back and fix those
now one thing you can do if you're having any trouble let me show you this
just in case okay so this frame was really made for those little pieces you
could just cut these little snip these little things off right here and it
would just give you a little bit of a smoother surface to go across
like I could probably use my scissors - this is plastic so I shouldn't be
difficult just flip them off
this will give us a little bit of a smoother surface to do our ribbon on
because if we have little pieces sticking out it's going to catch that
ribbon so tiny bit of prep work and I'll make our lives easier
it's making a little bit of a mess but that's okay I don't really mind it'll
make it easier to do what I want to do
okay
I'll show you what I mean by have any better really sticking out of this coat
go back in okay so now when we start a crossed you see how much nicer that goes
across
and since we're going all the way around the entire frame it's not necessary to
tie it down so you want to give it enough play so that you're not gonna
have big ripples here okay I'm not terribly worried about what the back
looks like because what you're gonna see is the front so just keep going across
okay see I just like going across without those little pieces on it
because it just gives you a much smoother edge now if I was making some
other type of hat other than an elf hat I would get rid of this little curve at
the top but we're going to attach our little bells on that test and I'll Pat
has to have bells okay
so the trick with it is just to go
slowly and make sure that you're getting it pretty even
okay
okay so once I get to the top
I think that's cute I'm just gonna cut it off and I am going
to go to the back I'm gonna fold this over I'm actually gonna put a hole
between you might have to do one at a time
okay that's what I want to do is tie it to that base now you can you can
certainly glue it that will work it gets pretty hot here I don't want something
to come loose later so
stop it my tyrant through these little holes
and I'm gonna tie it right on to this little corner then I'm gonna cover this
corner out
okay
there we go hide it so now we've gotten the main part done and I will kind of
work with any pieces that I see that I don't like the way they look now I want
to do the green at the bottom now there's a couple different ways you can
do this green you can do more ribbon and just do green but what I'm gonna do is
little ruffles I don't want to make these big ruffles that's what little
ones so I'm just gonna do 10-inch ruffles I'm not sure how many we're
gonna need so we'll just figure that out and go along so I'll just cut every 10
inches now this is the this is the green double foil look at that so this is the
green double foil and what I'll do
as I'm going to take some green pipe cleaners and I am going to cut them in
half I'll make the whole thing and I'm going to take these the way that they
want to roll up and I'm just going to go right up in the center and make a little
ruffle then I'm going to take my pipe cleaner and go behind it I'm gonna pull
it up like this and then twist it really tight know what I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna go right onto here I'm gonna tie this ruffle on here so I'm just going to
tie it right onto this frame just like that and I'm gonna go all the way across
this so I'll show you a couple and then I will go off camera and do the rest
I'm just gonna go right up to the center and because this is double foil it is a
little thicker so
now it is folded over like this twist it I'm gonna go pretty close to my last
rifle and then just tie that on just like this now I don't want them to get
too big so I will go across then when I get done I'll tell you how many had that
lose but that's all I'm gonna do is cut them like this put them on my little zip
tie on them twist it on and put it on friend I'm putting it on this middle
piece right here
just like that seeing then we'll get the bottom part of our hat see that's so
cute then what we're gonna do is we're gonna
turn it upside down like this we're gonna put these little feet in it and I
got these ears oh my gosh how cute are these things I'm gonna put them right
down here so we can have our little elf ears so I got these from Carolina
pottery this is a little pottery place let's that's near me and I just love to
go there so these are awesome okay so I will work on this and then when I come
back we will put the ears on and we're gonna fix this top piece up here so I
will be back shortly okay so I've gotten it on and I used 15 ruffles see aren't
they cute so what we're gonna do is we're actually gonna have our hat like
this mess up a little bit so I'm gonna have our hat like this here and we're
going to put our little ears on right over here of course in the back I'm
gonna push this aside and I'm gonna put my little ears on right here just like
that so we'll go ahead and do that and then I can show you how we're gonna put
the legs on so I don't need this whole stick but I want to make sure that I
have my ears in the right place what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna push my stick down
through the frame and get the right position on my ears
make sure rough words are not covering it up yeah
that's so cute and then I'm just gonna tie it on with a zip tie and then I can
cut off the rest of this stick cause I won't need it
there we go so we got one ear in let's put him so you can see his little ear
okay I'm gonna put the other one in I
want to do exactly the same thing on the other side so I will push the stick down
through my frame so I have a good thing to tie on to want to make sure I get it
about the same place so that right there right there okay another tie and tie
this one up
okay
get rid of that stick okay and we can just can fluff his ears out a little bit
oh that's so cute okay so now we've got our little elf hat we need our little
bells down here at the bottom can't be in health without bells on his hat so I
don't do some the Dollar Tree I just thought they were cute and they really
kind of went with the hat so okay so now we're going to take this little bell I
got this from the Dollar Tree I like all the little stuff it has on and I just
thought it was cute so I'm gonna take a zip tie then we'll run it through to
make sure I have it on there good and then I was gonna run it right underneath
my ribbon onto this little frame down here
then I'll pull my ribbon back up so I can hide that frame yeah now he has a
little bit on his half-chewed alright so the next thing I want to do is I want to
put on his low feet I got these cute wolf feet to put on him now you can
either do it this way and have him down like this or you can do him shut down
like this I think either way is really cute but this comes with a little wire
on it so what I'll do is I'll turn this over and go right to the frame and I'm
actually gonna run this wire right through both pieces of my frame to make
sure I get it tight on there really well okay now tuck it back under okay then
I'll put my other guy over here and do the same thing I'll run it
under both pieces of it right okay twist it around and tie it back under there
okay
here we go now you can bend your legs so that it looks like there fold it over
like this let me lift this up so you can see you see that I wasn't that so cute
oh I like that I think that's adorable so so we could
also put a little bit of sparkle over here like this so I have this little
spray and all we'd have to do is just stick a little spray down now I don't
know if I want him upside down or if I want to write that up I could kind of
like you might set up hahaha and that's how it works
you have an idea and then you change it this is such a simple easy quick project
so I just think he's adorable so this is a little quick video of
something you can do with those dollar tree which is hats so I hope you enjoyed
this let me know what you thought I got these little feet from craft Outlet this
mesh came from craft Outlet this velvet wire ribbon came from Carolina pottery
and so did these hats and so did this little thick so I think he is adorable
so I hope you enjoyed this let me know what you thought and I will see you
again soon thanks for watching bye bye

Make an Easy Buffalo Plaid Quilt with Rob! - Duration: 10:07.
If you're dying to make a super simple quilt that everybody will love and has flannel on
the back so you'll snuggle in it for hours, right?
This buffalo plaid is the one for you.
Let's get started.
Shay Henderson is one of my favorite quilt designers out there.
She made a great Star Wars patchwork that caught my eye years ago.
And she actually created this buffalo plaid pattern for you.
She's got a free printable that you can print out and follow along over at emptybobbinsewing.com
And not only that, look at this, she's got all of these great instructions and a complete
yardage calculation for everything you need for any size, making your own buffalo plaid.
So just go on over to her website and print out the free instructions.
And follow this video as I walk you through it today, ok?
What I'm using is some wonderful Robert Kaufman solids.
And you're going to need for your quilt top three different colors.
A light, a medium and a dark.
Now you're going to use twice as much medium.
So for example if you're buying a yard of the light and a yard of the dark, you'll
have two yards of your medium because the medium is the companion print that checkerboards
throughout the whole thing, right?
And then of course you'll need to get the fantastic shetland flannel which is also from
Robert Kaufman.
And I've done some fun scarves with this flannel and a couple of other projects.
And this stuff sews like butter and feels even better than that.
So I love this stuff.
And it makes a great backing for any snuggly quilt, right?
Let me get this stuff out of the way today.
We're going to need our whole ironing board.
Because we're going to make these in strips, we're sewing these together in strip sets
to help manage the efficiency and our cutting for accuracy actually.
So I want you to take all of your yardage, however much you're using.
And I'm going to have you make five inch strips.
And remember you're going to need two mediums, one dark and one light for every, let's
just call it, band within the quilt.
And you're going to go ahead and start by sewing your lights and mediums together.
And we're going to do four strips all sewn.
I'm going to show you that here in a second.
And they you'll also sew your mediums and your darks together.
So as I said let's get to stitching.
And I'm going to take my dark and my medium.
And I'm just going to kind of match-up on the selvedge end there.
And I'm just going to start sewing.
We'll be trimming off the selvedges to make that clean first cut as we begin sub cutting
our strip sets down.
Boy that sounds like a lot of information, I hope it didn't sound confusing.
I'm doing a quarter inch seam allowance.
And my presser foot has gone on vacation so I'm just going to slide it over here real
quick.
And I've got cotton thread in.
And my little edge guide because I really want to go at a pace that I can get the quilt
done in an afternoon but also at a pace where I have got nice accurate seam allowances because
even though we're building strip sets this is what's going to help keep everything
square.
I backstitched there but there's no real reason to, I'm going to cut the selvedge
off.
But might as well get in that habit, right?
Ok so now I have joined one of my mediums and one of my dark strips together, ok?
And then I'm also going to go ahead, and you can see I've done that twice.
Now I want to make sure I just joined medium, dark, medium, dark.
So I'm going to lay those right sides together, make one more nice long seam, as accurate
as possible.
And speaking of accuracy, one of the things I'm doing when I'm kind of sewing through
here is I'm never pushing or pulling.
I'm just kind of looking about six to eight inches down.
And what I try to do, I don't know if you can see this or not, but I try to line up
both edges so I can barely see the dark fabric popping from under the medium fabric right
now.
And I'm just pinching and lining it up, letting the machine do all the work.
Ok we're going to go to our ironing board and we're going to press this whole seam
set open.
And I was trying to think, now what's going to happen color wise is our medium color is
going to alternate throughout the quilt.
So I was thinking to myself, well if I press to the medium each time, would that help my
seam allowances so that when I'm marrying my strip set rows back together will that
help the seams?
And it can if you pay enough attention to it but funny enough when I start to rebuild
this watch what happens.
So just go ahead and press all in one direction as you go.
I don't think we can outsmart our seam allowances in this one.
And I don't think we need to be concerned about it either.
So I'm just going to take a second and press this.
But your pressing is also important because these seam allowances are going to help us
get really nice accurate cuts.
I'm going to show you that here under the big camera from the top in a second so you
can really see what I'm looking at with my ruler.
But I've got to get this pressed out a second.
So let me monkey around with this and I'll be right back.
Hey welcome back.
I've got all my seams pressed nice and crisp all heading in one direction.
And now what we're going to do is we're going to start by trimming off our best edge
first.
This whole strip set should yield about eight of these sub cuts.
And so what I'm going to first do is even on my first cut I want to make sure things
are super, super accurate.
So I'm looking at the lines here on my ruler with the lines that are the seam allowance
lines because that's what's going to allow me to cut it and give the appearance of square
and straight in the actual project.
So my first cut is my trueing cut.
So I'm going to cut it like this, ok?
And then because I am so very right handed I'm going to spin my whole project.
Get my cutter back out here.
And I'm going to build these in sections of three.
So I'm just going to cut three for us now . But the best thing to do is make sure you
just cut everything all at once.
Go into a good old Henry Ford assembly line style.
Do all your sewing, all your cutting and then all your resewing that we're going to do
here in a second.
So I'm going to focus on what I'm doing because I'm making five inch cuts now because
I had five inch strips, right?
So I'm going to make one.
And if your ruler were to shift you'd want to re-square because I want these lines and
this line perfectly square if I can do that.
I'm looking at all that.
It's coming out perfect.
And then one more at five inches.
But like I said please go ahead and cut down everything you've stitched together.
But I want to show you the next step.
So from here we need three.
And I'm just going to now go ahead and join these in another kind of checkerboard fashion.
My medium and my dark here.
And I'll just bring this one close.
Now for these you can backstitch because it will help secure it.
We don't want things shifting around, coming loose as we work.
Another trick a lot of quilters will do is they'll actually just make a smaller seam
allowance altogether.
So if I'm sewing at like a 2.5, folks will go to a 2.0.
But if you ever have to tear it out or black thread on black fabric, my goodness hard to
see.
Ok so I want to make sure I'm getting this right.
So my medium to my dark, right sides together.
We're going to go ahead and drop this in.
And that's all I needed was to combine three of those for the quilt that is the size behind
me.
So I did this with my medium dark family and I also did it with my medium light family.
And you can see I did lots and lots of strips.
So as we bring this back together you're just going to go ahead and position everything.
And of course I would have ironed that out.
We're just going to position everything so that my medium starts to checkerboard as
I go through.
So if I lay this one out and I see those colors touching, oh all I have to do is take this
and spin it 180 degrees.
And now it comes back together perfectly like that, ok?
So it's a very, very fun quilt and a very, very easy to construct quilt.
It will actually help you with your straight line sewing and your accuracy in your cutting,
if that's something that you're personally practicing right now.
For me, like I said, I put the flannel on the backing because I want this to be a couch
quilt.
I want this to be a quilt that is used a lot.
And I love the flannel for snuggliness.
But because of that I also wanted a very large all over symmetrical quilting pattern.
So check this out, I actually sent this into the MSQC and had their longarming team to
machine quilt this very fun square in a square design because it fit the motif of the quilt.
And it made it nice and strong and well constructed so this can go in and out of the wash over
and over again.
And I liked the symmetry in this project in comparison to the free motion that I normally
do.
So every quilt tells a story and every quilt has a different approach to it, right?
This is a very fun project that gives you a huge world of opportunities design wise.
So what I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you is what you did with your very
first Buffalo Plaid quilt.
We'll catch you next time right here at Man Sewing.
