DIY Room Decor for James Charles! - Minimal + Aesthetic // Lone Fox

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. It's Drew here from Lone Fox, and I'm with a super special sister James. Hey kitty girls. This is James You all know James, but he just moved into a brand new house, which if you guys have not seen He has a whole house tour on his channel. It's so good. It's so fresh. It's beefy It's it's really nice. It's nice. I've been trying to convince Drew to move in but he won't so yeah Everybody comment down below and tell Drew that he needs to move into it with me Oh, hello everyone comment down below and tell Drew that he needs to move in with me right now I'm here basically every single day. So I essentially already live here kitty girl. So keep in mind But James had a couple of diy projects that he wanted me to do for his bedroom because he showed me this photo and he's Like how do I get this quilt? Like how do I get this house? Like let's just make it. I love like a diy project Honestly, like it's kind of fun So James is actually working on a very special project this week and um, i'm just at his house while he's not even here Um, and i'm diying things for his room. I think you guys are gonna really like them We're just going to diy some stuff for James's bedroom and I think we should just get started Yeah, probably should probably should good luck sister So the reference photo that James supplied me with is this one from pinterest. It looks like this I'll put it on the screen for you guys So you get a better view of what it actually looks like but he actually has the same exact bed frame We ordered it from um the same photo like we were able to find it online through a couple of links But he also really wants this quilt on the bed that has different like um monochromatic patterns on top of it So that is what i'm going to attempt to diy today. I have all the supplies over there They were actually pretty affordable. It was like 40 for all the fabric and then i'm using an ikea comforter So honestly not too bad for like a handmade quilt. I don't think it's going to be too hard But i've also never quilted before so we'll see exactly how this goes But I do know that he wants it to be pretty similar to this photo with the first section The bottom section actually being like a lighter color on the left side and a darker color on the right side So i'm going to start off with those two sections and then work my way up So i'm just creating some blocks of patterns using the fabrics that I got Sewing them all together and then i'm going to in the end sew it to the actual Um comforter itself and if you guys are curious, this is the Grazbalad Whatever that is. So I am placing one of my fabrics in the bottom left hand corner I'm starting off with this light polka dot pattern and I knew I wanted this to be in the bottom left corner based on That reference photo I showed at the beginning and all i'm doing is doing a tiny little slit where I want it to end and of course Just ripping the fabric All you have to do to cut a fabric like this a simple cotton like quilting fabric is do a tiny little cut at the Start of the fabric and you could rip it and it will rip in a perfect line Which is so nice because we actually don't have to do any straight cutting or anything And i'm doing the same thing with this black fabric as well Just creating the second panel that's going to be attached at the bottom and then next you're going to want to pin The pattern sides together so make sure the pattern sides are facing each other and then you're going to use just a couple of sewing pins just to pin them And I highly do suggest using pins when quilting because it's just going to hold everything together and make your life so much easier And then I ran a simple straight stitch across the entire length of that fabric Just to conjoin both those two fabric panels at the bottom together And that is simply going to create your first paneled section at the bottom of this quilt And since we're using such large chunks, this quilt goes pretty easy So next what i'm doing is taking a couple other fabrics Cutting them to size just by simply creating a little cut to initially start and then ripping the rest of the fabric There really is no rhyme or reason to the placement of your fabrics either You can really put them wherever you want But just because I thought it was more pleasing to the eye I tried to make sure that wherever there was a light fabric I encompassed it or put around it a dark fabric just so you can really see the edges as you can see here Those edges are very prominent the lights and the darks really make that a prominent feature So what i'm now doing is just pinning this nice white fabric to the middle section Which is a little bit of a darker one And then i'm going to go ahead and run this through my sewing machine And now we're going to have two large strips, which we're going to sew into one big chunk So i'm going down the entire length of the quilt and pinning it Makes your life so much easier I swear and then sewing down the entire length which is going to create our first large chunk Section of the quilt which is going to take about half of the quilt And then I kind of just repeated it for the top section I just cut squares and pieced them together into sort of like a patchwork shape and sewed them all together There really are no measurements I can give you because it was so random how I did it Which I think made it so much easier as opposed to measuring James is looking so fresh now Look sewed all fresher. Yeah, and this one's gonna go on the edge here to give a little long piece I love that little long piece on the edge. Me too. Love anything long. Honestly. Oh, yes Checking in with a little vlog update Um, it's about two hours maybe two and a half hours after I started and I finished the entire patchworking of this Quilt here and it's completely done. All I have to do now is actually sew it to the comforter I showed you guys at the beginning All I did was make sure that the actual like sewn fabric portion was larger than this that way when I sew it on Here I can just cut off the excess of course So that's all I did. There's some random little overhanging edges But now all I need to do is sew it to the comforter and that is a completed quilt all that I did to actually sew the large quilted panel that we created to the comforter was Fold the excess from the quilted panel underneath and then I pinned it to the comforter So that way, um the excess fabric is kind of sandwiched in between the top panel Which is going to be showing the pretty side and then the comforter so the excess fabric is on the inside of here So i'm folding it under and then pinning it directly to the edge And I made sure to use about 200 pins around the whole quilt just to get that edge Really really nice and secure that way when I go and sew it I can sew right along the edge as close as I can get it and it's going to Fasten that panel to the actual comforter, but it's also going to look really nice and clean And yeah that basically finishes the quilt I knew I also wanted to create a really fun graphic pillow So I used a white pillow some yarn needles a pen and ruler and I started off by just removing the pillow from the pillowcase And then I went into just using my pen and ruler to do some dot placements This is just going to help me when i'm actually sewing the pillow So how I did mine was made all the stitches that are on the front side that you actually visibly see they're three inches long And in between is a one and a half inch gap In both directions. So from the left and the right and the top and the bottom There's a one and a half inch gap and I just mapped that out across the entire pillow And then what I did was just used a little bit of the yarn and put it through this wide hold needle And just sewed it so using those reference points you sew up through the back I tied a little knot just so that that fab or that yarn would not slip through the hole And then I sewed it down through the next hole and that is going to create that three inch stitch on the front That's going to act sort of as the first line in our line work embroidery pillow And this pillow went so quick to make I probably made it in 15 minutes But I do think it's really graphic and um kind of statement at the same time, which I really love So you're just going to go in and out of the pillow and just stitch across the entire thing As you can see here, it's pretty easy and those stitches are super wide So it's nothing very complicated at all and you can mix up the colors if you wanted to you can totally Experiment and do whatever you would like or even change up the pattern. Maybe use some plus signs or Put some lines in the opposite direction Whatever you want to do once you are completely finished All you're going to do is tie off the yarn on the opposite side and then restuff your pillow And you have your brand new completed decorative throw pillow that is graphic and stunning Going back to the inspiration photo that I first showed you guys I think i'm also going to create one of these hanging plants for his room because I think it would look really great just hanging from the actual beam here So the supplies I used to create that were both an ikea hanging plant and an ikea basket and then some black string And scissors. So what I first started off by doing was cutting eight one yard lengths of string So I cut eight three foot pieces of the black string And then once you have all of those completely cut you're going to tie a knot at the bottom and then piece them out Into two strand sections So you're going to kind of have a plus sign on the top of your little thing here And then i've done this tutorial multiple times before so honestly if you guys um You've probably seen this a couple times on my channel But I just wanted to put it in here because it did fit with the theme And what i'm just going to do is just create some knots about two inches down from our initial knot on all four strands there And then you're going to split the strands in half after the knot and you're going to do the same thing So you're going to create knots with the pieces from the left side and the right side It's kind of hard to talk about like I really don't know how to make it any more simple than what i'm talking about But you're just going to Take one strand from the right knot one strand from the left knot and then create a new knot with them And then slip your basket in there and that's how you create it. Hang it up and you are good to go Look how good and fresh this quilt is James, how do you like your quilt? I know it's so good I know good kitty quilt for you made it handmade diy you guys in the edge turned out so good. Look how good this looks I love my best friends It literally looks like we bought it You really do My hair literally matches this entire bedding. So guys that was everything in this little diy video Um, I know that the second two projects weren't as involved as the first one But I really was just going to actually do the first one in this video and only do the quilt But then I decided just to add the extra two just because I was going to create them Anyway, so I figured I might as well film them and add them in So I hope you did enjoy the three projects that I created in this video And if you did definitely give this video a thumbs up and make sure to check out james's channel He already has his house tour already up, but he hasn't done the finished house tour So you're going to be seeing all of this in the finished one whenever that goes up I'm, not sure when if you'd like to see any more videos with sister james here on the channel Let me know in the comment section below and don't forget to follow on instagram at lone fox home And I will catch you guys all in the next one.
