Transcript excerpt

An ice wall made of gift boxes. I wasn't about to host a boring Christmas party. Oh my good. And the theme? A glacier soiree. Better case you're new here, I like to make things that looked expensive on a budget. And today, I wanna feel like I'm in the Arctic Tundra using hot glue to create the look of melted ice underneath my island, which would only be complete by floating an icy storm above it out of tinsel and branches. Next thing you know, I'm wrapping my pennants in cling wrap to look like they've been frosted over before creating the craziest backlit glacier out of crumpled up rank paper. But even after all that, I was still hung up on how I was gonna make icicles, and using an old shower curtain to do it may have been the biggest breakthrough through that day. Here's how this side is looking so far. I still cannot believe that I made that back wall out of paper, you guys. What? Do I keep the lights warm or cool colored? Anyways, stay tuned because next I have this entire side to do.
