We want to welcome new viewers who found us through The Rachael Ray Show! We were beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to “craft” with Rachael. We have to admit that when we first got asked to be on the show, we thought…”Do they know that ‘The DIY Dish‘ is NOT a cooking show?!” 
Of course, they weren’t looking for a cooking segment…rather they wanted us to come and ”CRAFT” with Rachael. And who would say no to that?! We’ve watched Rachael for years, so this was such an exciting trip for us, to say the least.
It was also a quick trip. We flew out one day. Filmed the next day. Flew home at midnight that night. Just another day at the office, right? Ha! Although it was a fast one, it was one we will never forget. Our excitement grew as the day to tape got closer…and imagine how hard it was to keep this a “secret” for the last month!
We hope you enjoyed the segment. If you have any questions on anything shown in the segment, let us know and we’ll try our best to answer. We’d love to hear from you!
We want to thank the entire team at The Rachael Ray Show — it is an amazing collaboration of talent and time that comes together to produce a show like hers. Rachael is also just the kind of person you think she would be – “down to earth”, funny, friendly, the girl you could talk to for hours, and of course, talented. Now if we could just cook like her.

Here are more up-close photos from the table settings!
We glued small squares of white tissue to the branches to look like small blossoms.
The burlap “vase” below was made from an empty orange juice container.
We took store-bought plastic easter eggs (yes, the bright purple and pink ones you can find!) and covered them with fabric and Mod Podge. Other eggs were covered with small pieces of masking tape and then painted for a “crackled” look.
Can you tell what Kris made these napkin rings out of??? Yes, you got it right — hair rollers! 
WOW! (Yes, I do stalk your blog even though I don’t craft…LOL) How awesome! I am so excited you gals got to do that. I can think of no better guests to watch on that show. Can’t wait to catch up at Quilt Market. You will let me tag along even though I haven’t dusted off my sewing machine in about 3 years, right?
How wonderfully exciting!! I just spread the News on Hootsuite!!

Is there anything you guys DON’T do! Kim, it’s so great to see you…do you remember this crazy Level 2 student of yours! Sounds like things are going great for you. Soo happy for you!
Just saw your segment on Rachael Ray. You were both darling. And so composed. That was A LOT to pack into such a short time, and you did a great job. Your projects were fun, hip, and appealing. Good job!
wow. how awesome is that. How did you manage to keep it a secret?
Great show!!!
where do I find the instructions for the projects you provided on the Rachel Ray show? I searched your website but have been unsuccessful. thanks
Fantastic as always!!!…just got through watching!
You guys did an amazing job on the Rachel Ray show!! You also both looked fabulous!!!
what do you use to make the pink egg shape thing then you pop the balloon?
I loved the yarn ball lanterns and the flower ball. Where can we find out how to make them?
Also looking to make the yarn balls and was wondering what the glue/water ratio should be.
You guys are awesome!
Thanks
oh and what type of glue!
GREAT job on RR!! So glad I didn’t miss it! I am also wondering about the glue used on the yarn balls. I’d love to make planet decorations for my twins’ birthday early in May.
thanks,
carol
trying to find out how to do the place mats done on the rachel ray show on april 26,2011
Thanks everyone for your kind words! What a fun day it has been!
To answer your questions –
1. We used Elmer’s White Glue. We used 2 parts glue to 1 part water. The key to this being successful is that you must wait until it is fully and completely dry — this may take at least 24 hours — perhaps more. Dip the yarn fully in the glue mixture until saturated, wipe off excess glue (just with your fingers is fine) and wrap all different ways around the balloon.
2. Laura – You asked about written instructions on the projects. We do not have those as we show everything through video, but since time was limited on Rachael Ray, we think it would be fun to go into great detail on some of these projects in some upcoming episodes of The DIY Dish. We’ll try our best to do that in the coming weeks.
3. Deb – We created a stencil with a bird drawing that we did by tracing the pattern onto the paper side of freezer paper. Simply cut the pattern out and then carefully iron the paper (shiny side down) onto your burlap (this takes just a few seconds.) Then dab paint onto it with a dry sponge brush, wait for it to fully dry, and remove the paper. It’s a very fun project with a ton of possibilities!
And HELLO to Rachel Schumann Bennett! Of course I remember you! You were one in a million and I was so happy to have you in my classroom. I knew you would make a wonderful teacher one day and I have no doubt that you did. I hope life is going well for you!!
Kim
When I turned my TV on this moring, there you both were, on my TV Set! Of course I recognized both of you right away from the DIY DISH craft website. Great crafting presentation. Should say yesterday morning because its way after midnight here…LOL.
Kim–I taught for 2 1/2 years in Smithfield, then got married and moved to Phoenix. I taught here for 3 1/2 years before deciding to stay home with the kiddos. But of course, I couldn’t get away from teaching completely because I’m about ready to finish my 4th year of teaching preschool out of my home.
Thanks to such great mentors like yourself, I love teaching! Can’t wait to see all the fun things you fun girls have come up with! You both are truly amazing!
Where can I find the video of the Rachel Ray show on the yard balls. I looked on her site, but the video cut off before that part of the segment was shown. Thanks!
I would love to know how to make the craft featured on The Rachel Ray Show,Tues. Can you e-mail me the materials used and how they were made especially the flowers using newspapers. Thanks
