Valentine's Day Movie night and Hair Extension Crafting! Sunday the 14th at 6:00 PM (EST) ♥️
🕑 Added 2021-02-09 14:26:18 +0000 UTCGood morning!!
I've been going non-stop on the Dining room episodes, but wanted to take a break this Sunday to do something a little different and hopefully super fun...
On Sunday evening (the 14th at 6:00 PM (EST) to celebrate Valentine's day, we're going to watch the MOST romantic movie ever made together and I'm going to show you how to sew some hair extensions! :D
The movie is going to be 'The Silence of the lambs' and I'll be watching on my end, talking through the whole movie and showing you how to add some Disney Volume to your crowning glory!
For copyright reasons, you won't hear or see the movie from my end, so you'll want to set it up on either your computer or TV separately and I'll just tell you where to start it once we get going :D
This will be more a tutorial than a craft-along, but in case you want to work along with me, here are the things you need...
Unsewn hair extensions wefts
Matching thread
Scissors
Extension Clips
Hair spray
Comb
Hairbrush
This is my LEAST favorite holiday, so let's celebrate it in the most un-glamorously fun way possible.🧟♀️
(If hair extensions aren't your bag, please feel free to use this time to eat chocolates, bleach your mustache... whatever you want!)
See you Sunday
-Christine

Christine, I once watched a video in which you mentioned the shampoo and conditioner that you use on your hair. I can’t find that reference now. Can you please remind me what hair products you use? Because, yanno, I wanna be you when I grow up!
Hannah Roberts
Could you make a craft with my samoyed's shed undercoat? I feel like it would make for great felt :D
Sheila Gustafson
Rosemary’s baby still scares me.
Giselle
Could you be any more beautiful, talented and cool?!
Linda
Same here!

Christine!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it; I can't believe I'd never even heard of it before. The amazing experiments with colour-filters and Technicolor at the end were exquisite. I've recently been obsessed with an App called "Old Movies" - it's Android, only, I think, and they source their films from Youtube, but they organise them into genre, so I've been exploring the "Fantasy" section, much to my delight! Beyond Tomorrow - 1940 (written by a woman) The Deluge - 1933 (an early-talkies pre-code RKO Radio-Picture; it's a bit dark [realistic] but has an amazing Model of NYC!) Topper - with Cary Grant Something called... "It Happened Tomorrow" And an Astrology Murder-Mystery written and Introduced by Manly Palmer Hall and starring Anna May Wong! ("When You Were Born") Also: if you haven't seen the newest Ryan Murphy show, called HOLLYWOOD, it's very interesting. Enjoy! 💜 OH! I'm also reminded, that I once had a picture from a 40's movie, that looked like YOU! I tried to share it somewhere, but we can't upload pics here, and I forget the name... it's possible I shared it on Twitter with the hashtag of your name. If I find it, I'll come back with the name.
Christine McConnell
Mardi! Thank you SO MUCH for this suggestion! I had never seen it and watched it last night... it was BEAUTIFUL! The story was so eerie and romantic! Also, I had no idea Joseph Cotten was that attractive!!
Mardi Shakti
Thanks, Helen. I have messaged her before but she didn't reply; I might put the link in there, anyway!
helen crawford
I'm sure she reads the comments, but you can send her a message, not sure if you have to be in one of the upper tiers for that?!
Mardi Shakti
You could make some and THEN curl them?
Mardi Shakti
HOW CAN I SUGGEST THIS MOVIE TO CHRISTINE? I think she'll like it! https://youtu.be/qmF3rL2HadU
Jonathan Schell
Hahahahahaha!! I shouldn’t laugh cuz I know it’s a thing, but “bleach your mustache” had me cracking up.
Raine Scott
Same with me. I wasn't able to see it. All that came up was a yellow duck image. But I can access other things in patreon
Brieann Chapple
I think it’s the acronym for silence of the lambs :)
Brieann Chapple
Making hair extensions while watching silence of the lambs 😂😂😂 👀
Liz Balmaseda
Omg I love that she said bleach your mustache🤣 That’s why I love her!
Sandra
😭 I have super curly hair, can’t find good quality hair extensions for curly hair. The few available are $$$$. Need to learn to make my own.
helen crawford
Sorry to be stupid but is there a link that i'm missing to get into this?
Liz Ard
Just got some new wefts I want to sew into a halo! Valentines blows. Psyched!
Suzanne Robinson
Looking forward to it!
Suzanne Robinson
Don't judge me, but what is SOTL?
Kathleen Rear
Same! Vday has been a jinx for us too!
Tim Metcalf
Yeah! And so weird the Valentine's Day releases of horror movies! Feb 14 of 1931 Bela Lugosi as Dracula was released across the USA! So it turns 90 on the same day!
Tim Metcalf
Yes, so campy and bizarre! Loved the 60s style they nailed!
Lauren Loflin
So excited! Another good one to watch for Valentine’s Day (if you haven’t seen it yet) is The Love Witch! 🖤
Belle Summer
Sexy photo!
Kathleen Rear
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but SOTL turns 30 on V-day! :)

Seriously, here is an article about why Silence of the Lambs is the perfect movie for February 14th!
Laura Pennington
❤️hello Christine from back in time antiques Redlands ca ❤️ laura
Sally
That's 3 am on February 15th in Denmark! Gonna have to watch the recording the next day, but sounds like a fun Valentines get-together!
Sonya Colley
Sounds like a nice way to do Valentine's Day! Ditto on the second Halloween!!
DC
Omg I can't wait for this!! Haven't watched Silence of the Lambs in a hot minute so this will be great. You'll have to do a count down or something of when to push the start button so we're all relatively close lol
Lynn
One of my favorite of scary movies. Enjoying "Hannibal" on Netflix.
Angell Cloxen
I love Valentine’s Day too ! I love to make cookies and give them to friends and family that I like and make a special meal for my husband. It’s not much, but they love it. A good cookie is always a good path to someone’s heart. BUT ... I would love to have two Halloween’s ! My favorite time of the year and my favorite holiday ! Soo ... if we are voting for a second Halloween count me in ! !! 😍
Amy Watler-Thomas
Awww i love that film - my mam saw it in the cinema when she was preggos with me, maybe it's why i like horror? 😂
Scribby Scribner
Your profile is the best! NBC is my favourite movie.
Marielle Bodenheimer
I wish I had a moustache to bleach! :D Maybe I can make extensions for a moustache ...
Hope Ohana
BEST. IDEA. EVER!!! (Especially because a lot of us who have had covid have also had alot of hair loss. Yes, its really a thing). Christine, you're the BEST! 🥰🙌💃
Corinne Eve
You remind me of a poison apple. Beautiful smart alluring refreshing with a little something extra you’re not quite sure what it is. ❤️
Liana Palumbo
That's a good idea. I have dreadlocks down past my bottom, maybe I could crochet some👍🏼🖤🖤
Liana Palumbo
Bleach your moustache 🤣I love that!! I HATE Valentine's Day, I think it sends out a very wrong message to young people, but making it into "Morbidtines Day" is awesome. I need to figure out what time it'll be here in South Australia. Anyone know how to do that?? 🖤🖤xx
Elizabeth Goans
Yay! Silence of the Lambs?...🤞
Judy Campanella
See, I knew you'd do a twist on Valentine's, lol......(I don't like it either, except for the chocolate) but I figured you'd come up with something.
Louise Hartley
Bleach your moustache 😂😂😂
Jane Good
Yes!
Lucy Louise
Can't wait 💕💀🖤
Lindsey
How fun!! Can't wait 🖤
Oaknwichlane June G
Totally agree about Valentines day! Never liked it! But this sounds like fun! I was just going to watch your last years show since I love it so much!
Jessica Darne
Love this!! Can’t wait!!
Seaira
My boyfriend goes back to college on Sunday. I won’t have to spend Valentine’s Day alone now! Thanks Christine 🖤🕷🍫
Lea Moran
It would have been funny to make handmade lotion... Hehehe looking forward to it regardless ❤🔪🐑
cassie ward
Hahaha bleach your mustache 🤣 or just shaving my legs 😆
Julie Holtz
I can't wait! Does anyone have recommendations on where to purchase hair wefts? Christine, you look gorgeous!
Nellie Garcia
Oh, thank you for this! Valentines Day in the past has never worked out my hubby and I. The worst was on our way to our restaurant reservation and we were involved in a vehicle accident. Needless to say, we don't make plans on this holiday. This year however, I will be telling everyone I know of my wonderful plans with Christine McConnell watching the movie with DeVil (my cat) as my date. 🖤
Elizabeth Martinez
When people ask me what my favorite Rom - Com is I always tell them Hannibal. They think I'm joking.
Christine McConnell
Hello! It just means that there are no clips already sewn in and the band at the top hasn't been cut into various widths already. :D
Luciikwe
So we need a brag photo that we can post online Valentines day to show we got a date with the beautiful and crafty Christine McConnell! I know this photo would be good but having one edited for that reason would be super fun! Love ya girl, I'm here for the hair tutorial! Just so you know you are my first and only patreon subscription, love and hugs to you and your fur babies!
Uzannesay
What does an "unsewn weft" look like? I'm trying to find some but I know nothing about extensions.
Megan
Yay!
Amber L Haden
Anybody point me in the direction of a good mailing address for Christine? Thanks
Nicole Clem
can't wait
Drea
yasssss! Make me beautiful!
Jennifer Edwards
Looking forward to it!!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
Fun!!
Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities
I don't have any hair extensions, so maybe I'll just crochet some black hearts and spiders instead. Unless I figure out a way to crochet extensions ahead of time, hahaha!!!
Deborah
I shall be drinking hot chocolate and wearing my jammies, as it will be 11pm here! (I may immac my ‘tash in solidarity though 😁)
Christine McConnell
Hello! YES! It's going to be EST, For some reason I have a hard time remembering the right one now :D
Tiffany Hicks
I'm guessing it will be 6 PM EST.
Emily Masterson
Fun! Excited to get creeped out on V day!
Molly Pruitt
Is it 6 EST or PST? I am assuming the email is wrong and this is right but can anyone confirm?
Carla Perea Seminaro
Sounds like fun to me!!! 😊🖤
Andrea Moore
I just told my captive about this and he asked if we would be having fava beans and a nice chianti. 🙄🙄
Tammy Robinson
Great Ideas and I’ve never Liked Valentine’s Day either! Lol 🤷♀️👩💻🖤
Danielle Gutierrez
Finally something to look forward to on the dreaded Valentine's Day!! Thank you Christine!!🖤💜🖤💜
Danielle Gutierrez
Yes!!! Same here!!!🖤💜
Danielle Gutierrez
Now THAT should be a holiday! 😋😋😋
Morgen Meier
This is fantastic! I love this idea; just brilliant way to make this weekend actually fun!
Ricky Cheung
Looking forward to it! I love your tutorials though am not a fan of horror movies (especially Silence of the Lambs!), so will follow along and be watching something less spooky. :)
Maggie Proffitt
Did you see that CBS has a new show that premiers this Thursday called Clarice? It looks like it could be good!
Tadgh Kirby
I'll just sit and comb my beard and join in the chatter. And seeing as this is one of my favourite movies and my partner and I refuse to celebrate Valentine's Day, this is the perfect alternative. My friend used to always run an "Anti-Valentine's Rocky Horror Picture Show" on either the Friday or Saturday night of the weekend closest to Valentine's Day for all us who sought refuge from the Hallmark holiday. She can't this year because all the clubs and bars are still shut here in Ireland because of the pandemic. Hopefully we'll be able to return to it next year.
Sherrie Potgieter
...maybe dye my hair and then eat or try my hand at making those delicious moth and spool chocolates you made last year! MMmmmmm
Mononoke Adams
So excited about this. This is one of my favorite movies. Thank you for doing this, Christine. See you Sunday.
Sarah Miller
Yay! V Day plans with my favorite bae ☺️ LOVE the timing 🙏
Maggie Jordan
Fun! I will be there!
Patricia Dunn
How exciting, can't wait xx
Angela Jones
LOL. Too funny. I'll be there!
Heather Brown
Lol I'll be stuffing chocolates into my mouth.. great movie pick, can't wait!!
Taylor Makenzie
Bleach your mustache lol
Summer Rose Barnes
I'm so excited for that!
Summer Rose Barnes
Love it. My hair has grown so much in quarantine extensions will just add to it
Sonya Colley
Looking forward to the livestream! I may be the odd one here that likes Valentine's Day, but now you're making it even better. Thank you!
Mina Murray
Alas, I'll be at rehearsal. Have lots of fun!
Katie Brunero
Can’t wait!
Jill Poudrette
Love this!! I hate Vday, too! Not sure about the extensions, I too have 'white trash wavy' hair lol, that I wear in a 60s flip, but I might try them!
Angela Pearson
YAY!!!
Heather Jaynes
hahahaha bleach your mustache! I love you!
Nicholas Frig
I am trying to figure out wigs, so this will actually be interesting to see how I can add more volume to them, hopefully! Excited to see this! Also, Silence of the Lambs is one of the best.
Amanda Howe
I’ve been waiting for this hair crafting. I have always loved Christine’s hair stylings.
Germaine
Great idea! Love it. Any recommendations on length of weft? Might just get as long as possible🤔. Can't wait to dig out the DVD. I haven't watched silence of the lambs in ages. Happy unvalentines everyone. 🥰
Amanda Denery
Yesss! And don’t forget to celebrate National half-price chocolate day on February 15th. Treat yourself!
Sara Logan
SWEET! I'm also not a fan of Valentines day..... It's just weird....
Sara Logan
Truth spoken, right there
Rez NYC
Christine, never second guess your choices for craft alongs or videos. You could have a video of you opening mail and we will still watch cuz we all know you would go Extra!! Can’t wait to watch the movie!
Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities
Never mind - I see that you switched it to EST. <3
Nikki
Yaaassss!!! Tbh I’m so bad at putting my clip in though I usually just end up doing tape ins when I want more hair loo
Gina Radford
This is going to be awesome!!!
Kelsey Hourigan
So excited! There is also a new series premiering called “Clarice” on Thursday, (CBS) that looks interesting, obviously no Jodie Foster! (😔)
Marie Nemirovsky
Best way to celebrate! Looking forward to it!
Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities
Christine - I just want to make sure though that you mean "PST" instead of the "EST" that you've been using. So you'll be starting at 9pm your time, correct? Excited for this!
Casey Killoran
Bleach is standing by. And now officially looking forward to the Hallmark holiday this year.
helen crawford
YES GIRL!! You read my mind! I love you, i HATE valentines too! This idea is PERFECT! Thank You!!!! :)
Sufani Garza
“Bleach you mustache!”😂 That’s hilarious! See you soon!
Rez NYC
Omg I hate it too! I always thought it should be changed to Halloween 2! LOL 🎃
Branwen Frost
Great! I have ready to go hair extensions I have to pull to bits, dye and make pin curls with. Perfect timing.
Genevieve Fernety
Love it. My friends and I used to all watch The Shining together on Valentine’s Day with bloody Mary’s
Tammy R Dowden
Sounds like fun!
Jerdana Selene
Excited!!
