Was so happy to hear at the beginning of your video that your booth requires more items. That means you are selling!!! Great news. Love today’s projects Mary. Inspiring as usual.
When using foam for seat cushions, cut the foam a tad larger than the wooden seat. It will compress and make a nice rounded edge. Stretch a layer of quilt batting over the foam along with the fabric. This will round out the edges and disguise minor flaws in the foam. It also keeps the fabric from wrinkling and pulling away from the foam after people sit in the chairs for awhile.
Very well said. Thank you for the info.
Yes quilt batting would hide some imperfections
Thank you!
Thank you. I have a couple of chair seats that I need to re-cover.
Mary is so talented and creative in her own way. Just simply amazing👍
An inexpensive electric knife cuts through foam like a charm.
Yes, I've used one for cutting foam, the type of electric knife you might use to carve your turkey or other meat, bread too.
Yep! I was going to say that but you beat me to it :)
I use that too mine was from a thrift store, only use for foam!
Besides an electric knife as many have noted, a serrated bread knife works too.
@@hollypichardo8004 me too! :)
Spraying paint into the cap and getting out a paintbrush for touch ups - genius! You taught this old dog a new trick.
I wish you weren’t so far away I would like to buy that cabinet. I is my style. I love it.
Hi Yvette
While I know that this is off topic, I got such a warm memory when I heard this video because of the bird sounds in the beginning. My grandfather lived in Ohio and I used to visit with him quite often. I haven't felt that way for many years. Funny how sounds can take us back! Thank you!
Hi Sherry
I keep an electric meat carving knife just for cutting foam. The serrated edge cuts foam perfectly. I learned this trick from making costumes for my church's holiday productions.
I'm glad I read your comment instead of adding my own. I saw a demonstration with an electric meat carving knife, change my life. Or at least my foam cutting life, LOL.
I signed in to mention the electric knife hack and see that you've already mentioned it. 😊
I was getting ready to suggest the electric carving knife too. They're so much easier to use than scissors or a regular knife.
Marla, you took the words right out of my mouth! Found one at a resale shop and it’s perfect for cutting foam...meat...not so much! 🥴
My sister n law always used electric carving knife also she done upholstery
Definitely the electric carving knife. Cuts foam like butter.
Hi Debra
You always do an amazing job.
Electric carving knife from a thrift store is the bomb! Cuts foam perfectly and easily.
Beautiful as always.
I love it when you repurpose or breath life into objects! My favorite are your trash to treasure thrifted videos!! Would love to see more of those!
Good simple ideas. Sometimes less is more.
The wooden chairs are pretty as is. The new cushions are a bonus. That Eden green is certainly a bold choice.
The green chairs are so pretty, who would have thought a stripe would make such an impact! Like your style!
The chairs came out beautiful. But I just love the green ones. Thanks Mary for sharing.
I can certainly understand why your booth is empty! Your work is fabulous! I love the green chairs!
Mary I have found an electric knife works well cutting foam leaving clean edges. Can find them in thrift stores fairly cheap.
Was going to say that too! 👌🏻
Yes a electric knife works great.
Same here! Electric knife works like a charm
Pieces looks really good. My favorite is the 2 green metal chairs.
Hi Mary, I have never met a more talented person than you. I learn so much. Thanks so much for sharing.
Your stairs look great ! You husband did a wonderful job. I love your property. Thank you for another great video 😊🌸
I love the green folding chairs, beautiful! Wow, using the parchment paper is absolutely amazing! The cabinet is stunning! The two chairs, are gorgeous!❤️😊🌻🌺
Suggestion: Years ago I worked at a fabric store and we used electric knives to cut the foam, it's quick, accurate, and easy to maneuver. Great job on the chairs.
Hi Penell
Sounds like your booth is working out well if you are needing to fill it. Well done Mary, I’m so pleased for you.
Hi Ann
This is all so creative. I would not have thought of adding stripes to a folding chair. It made it appear classy. I ❤️ the buffet table is gorgeous.
Hello from the UK. I love the way you use supplies you have to hand it’s a lesson for us all. The chairs were lovely and the cupboard just adorable thank you for brightening my day .Take care.
How I wish I was right around the corner! I adore that side board and those green chairs! Beautiful!
Hi Mary ! How beautiful are those green folding chairs sitting in with all your lush plants ! 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
You’re such a sweet, humble and gracious person Mary. Always thinking of others and worried about your Booth not being full and using up space at a Mall. From what I saw in the video, your Booth looks nice ! Some times those “packed booths” don’t draw people in. They are overwhelmed by stuff! I think yours is great…. Not intimidating 🌻
Love that piece of furniture that you did the Transfer on… those crystal knobs look wonderful … perfect for that style !
Have a blessed week…always look forward to Wednesday’s with Mary ! 🌻🌻🍃🌻🌻
Hi Jayne
A few tips: a bread knife cuts foam so much easier, especially an electric one. I've done fabric through the printer as well, just iron some freezer paper to the back. Paper doilies are a great stencil too. Quilt batting will hide those uneven cuts in the foam. It all looks great!
Hi Dixie
The metal folding chairs look So good !!! I'm not normally a fan of them but these turned out sweet looking!
You make old look so expensive x so talented x
Everything is so pretty, but I especially love the cabinet!!!
Me too!!!
I see others have already mentioned electric knives for cutting foam, so I'll just comment on how I love that you reuse and remake things into something new. I grew up during the postwar period in England and that was a way of life then, and I still do that myself. My kids think I save too much but I can always see life in things. I'm not a hoarder, I do donate and declutter, in case anyone gets the wrong idea! 😊 I hadn't heard of the parchment paper method, how useful, thank you for sharing that, I must try it. 😉
Beautiful work, Mary! God bless you and your family.
Your furniture up-cycling videos are my favorite 🤩
Hi, Mary! I wanted to share a quick tip on covering seats with foam cushioning: Take your fabric and staple it to the bottom of one side of the seat. Then take the fabric on the opposite side of the seat and pull taunt. Then staple that side down. Sometimes it helps to have someone do the stapling while you keep the fabric tight. Do the same with the other two sides. I find that by doing that, it will smooth the obvious edges of the foam. It really softens the edges and gives a more rounded edge. Just make sure you really pull the fabric tightly!!! Hope this helps in future projects. Thanks for sharing your gift of creativity!!!
Love them all, but that white cabinet is gorgeous!!! I love them!
All very good ideas, the "racing stripes" on the folding chairs is awesome especially with the colors you chose.
All the projects turned out very pretty! Love the piece of furniture. You added just the right touch!!
I love everything you do, you turn any piece you get your hands on, and make it look stunning. The green was so pretty on your porch with your flowers. I love the white cabinet, and the hardware made it beautiful. Thank you for sharing, wish I could come shop at your booth.🌹😊🌻
i can only imagine how hard it is to keep plenty of stock on hand when you have such beautiful, fun pieces for sale. Wish I lived close enough to visit your booth and the rest of that fun mall.
Hi Connie
your problem with stenciling is that when you stencil, pouncing or swirling, your tool must be on the dry side. If not, you get a bleeding effect. When I stencil I put 2 light coats, the first application is like a primer boundary. When it dries, it is a stabilizer to the first coat. It might take longer to stencil, but you get crisp lines. Also, to get the dry effect of the sponge or brush. you have to offload onto a paper towel. Offload is pouncing your tool on a surface to knock off the building of paint. I hope this helps on your next stenciling project. Good Luck, Les Meyer
Thank you Les Meyer! I will try this. My attempts to stencil have been ruined by having too much paint when I start. Now I know why! Thank you!
An electric knife works really well for cutting foam! Your pieces are lovely as always.
You just know how to enhance these simple items. I do love the green on the folding chairs, adding those strips was just the right touch. That parchment paper technique was totally new to me. Interesting. Something I should try. Many thanks!
Love the green chairs ! And all your furniture ! ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Like all your chair projects. I really like how the piece of furniture turned out!!
I really like the stripes on chairs , real diffrent. I love how the labels came out, adds a nice touch!--
My favorite color of green!! It’s what I have in my kitchen. As always Mary…just lovely!!💕
I have about 20 children's metal chairs, you gave a lot of ideas!
Mary, everything came out gorgeous. I love the folding chairs. I am always needing extra chairs. I am going to be on the look out for a couple and paint them. I am sure the owners of the mall love you having a shop there. All your pieces are fabulous.💕💕💕💕
Love love the green chairs Mary. You always due such a great job.
An electric bread knife is great for keeping in the workshop to cut foam. It does a fantastic job!
Thanks for the idea of spray painting our folding chairs
Especially love the white breakfront.
Chairs of all kinds are my delight.
Love them!!!! So sweet. Such great easy make overs that made a big impact!!! Love the grain strip chairs
I loved that your spray paint color matched the grass on the hill behind you. I was glad to see you put on a respirator with the spray paint, much safer.
An electric knife makes cutting foam much easier! Smart idea to cut the thick pieces in half to get two cushions.
Awww I loved everything Mary!
Beautiful work!
God Bless you and yours ❤️
Another suggestion for seat fabric, I keep an eye out for pretty waterproof shower curtain fabric. I covered my kitchen table chairs with it and it’s easy to wipe down. Not vinyl but the kind hotels have that don’t need a liner.
As a mom of four, I appreciate this suggestion!
That's a very good suggestion, thank you.
I just used two cotton tablecloths from Target to make drapes for my spare bedroom. The fabric would have been 3 times as expensive at the fabric store and since the tablecloths were already hemmed on 4 sides all I had to do was trim some off the bottoms and sew in a new hem. Took less than a half hour. Fabric shower curtains are also a great way to find hemmed fabrics. Problem solving at its best.
Thank you . That idea of yours will work well for our RV trips🙏🌞
@@catgirldo7646 had thought to do this, thanks for sharing!
Electric knife works great to cut chair foam. Beautiful as always. Love your videos.
Beautiful job as always! You are more inspirational than you will ever know!!
Loved all your projects but especially the dresser once you added the glass knobs.
Hi Mary, I love how your mind works and oozes with creativity. I have followed you for a couple of years now and you always inspire me. I live in Delaware but my mother was from Holmes County. I have lots of relatives there. I just spent some time thrifting there this week . Also discovered that you attend church with one of my cousins. He is a creative soul as well. His initials are KT😊
I have used an electric knife the kind you carve a turkey with for cutting foam...it works really well!
I was just about to write the same thing, Lisa! It really does work well.
I've used an electric knife as well.
When I worked at the fabric store, we always used an electric knife, too.
Parchment paper method of transfer of a picture, so cool.. thank you for sharing that.
Always love all your projects. One of these days I’d love to make a trip to Ohio and visit your area and the antique mall.
In this video I learned a clever alternative way to affix a chair bottom to the chair 🪑 , and how to use parchment paper & a printer to make a rub on image with 👍Thanks!
You're always dressed so modestly -- it is clear you do it for the right reasons. Perhaps you even cover your hair. Class act! Much respect!
Love your projects today!! As always!! God bless you and yours!!
Electric Foam Knife would be a great asset to your Tool Bench!
We use an electric carving knife to cut that type of form. It cuts like butter!
Hi Sharon
Mary you do such a great job thank you so much for sharing your creativeness 🤩🧤👒🦘🐨🇦🇺Karen
Agree with you about the padded seats. I noticed it too. But I can be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to things like that. I love that the two green chairs aren't exactly the same, but are made to look the same. Great job on all Mary.
Just had a glance at other people's comments , some are just nasty , carry on doing your great work Mary ignore nasty people , remember there are always bad apples in the bag (nothing against apples)take care from someone that really appreciates everything you do , you certainly have kept me going , you are special and GOD knows you
Your talent and ingenuity are amazing. I love all of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love all the chairs! Beautiful projects!
Amazing transformation! Great job! 👏
I instantly recognized the green color, I have used Eden for so many projects and just love how bright and fresh it is. Love how these chairs turned out!
So glad to have the color name. It's beautiful.did she say what the brand was?
@@smallfootprint2961 It is Rustoleum brand.
You are so talented and make everything look so beautiful. Would love to visit your booth. So glad for you that it is doing well!
Thank you for the wonderful and beautiful video. I will always love your videos Mary. The work you do is just so exquisite
Beautiful and refreshing as always !
Good morning! Have you tried using an electric knife to cut the foam!
Your pieces look beautiful. I wish I were closer. I have never seen the parchment method. I like it. thanks for the videos.
I shopped at your booth and bought the recycled clock you did on RUclips! I was so excited! Love what you did today!
I’ve never seen the parchment paper method. Very cool.
Love all of your creations, you are so talented and creative! Beautiful Mary ❤️
Thanks for the spray paint tip touching up where the paint came off.
Mary, I was so honored to meet you and your sister! You both are such lovely, sweet ladies! Thanks for allowing us to stop in!😍
Thanks again, Mary....love your channel ❤🥰
Turned out beautiful
Love the green on folding chairs.
An electric knife will cut foam much easier. Love the green chairs. Your other chairs and cabinet are beautiful as well.
Oh, I wish you could make a remake of that porch desk you have. I love it and want one.
Every week you amaze me - with your projects - Stone Soup (something from nothing).
I see Maria beat me to the electric knife comment. I purchased an electric knife at a thrift store for $3 - works perfectly for cutting foam. Also, Dacron (like quilt center, only stiffer) is super cheap ($2.50/yard) and will hide any miscuts of foam. You simply glue over the foam. I purchase Dacron at an upholstery shop. Reusing foam is important as the price has shot up in the last six months.
Thanks again for the ideas. Your creative mind brings me a smile each week. :)
A Turkey carving knife, electric, works good on cutting the foam.
I love the green chairs!
Wonderful repurpose pieces 🙏❤️
Thank goodness….I was having withdraw times! Coffee and Mary, does it get any better
Wednesday morning is my favorite!
Love, Love everything, they turn out beautiful, specially the. Cabinet, I wouls buy if I lived near you. Love Texas
Love your videos and your home and land. Another option when doing seat covers: Wrap some batting on top of the foam same as you would do the fabric then add the fabric. It softens the edges all around and I just like the look better than with just the foam.
Agree with you about buying uniform foam for a neater finish, but the paintwork is beautiful. Thank you. Xx
