Yes because Craft's With a Cricket Machine is expensive, so sense were trying to up cycle , Crickets not really a❤ way to save money Crafting,so glad to. See real DIYS with out a CRICKET ❤😊. 💕 Love your videos thank you.
Thank you for the wonderful tips. I’m forever saving stuff to reuse and rarely buy anything new to use for storage. Between Amazon boxes and the thrift store I have an amazingly organized craft room.
Hi Deidre, I was just getting ready to go out when I recd your alert and like other times I go back to the videos and cannot retrieve them. You are one of my favorites so I told myself my donut craving and coffee out can wait. My Aunt passed away in 2021 a favorite aunt one month before my Mom passed away. In Spring time she picked panseys from her garden and other flowers and she made me a lovely book Mark using that clear like sheet protector like you used. She was not sick it was just her time to go buy one day I popped into her mind and she thought I would love flowers from my home town. The colors have stayed which is remarkable going back to Spring 2021. I keep the bookmark in my Bible. I have been wanting to try her idea. But did not know how she made it. My Mom's favorite flower is the black eyed Susan. And I have a couple pressed from her yard. I would like to frame them but, I would like to get fresh ones from my Dad's yard and make a bold pattern on them to frame. I started looking at little homes to buy. My goal is to buy my first home this summer. Where I live now is a historical flat and nails and molly bolts are not allowed and many command strips are expensive. I bet Deidre with the sheet protector and your Elmer's glue stick (I have the same on hand) you can make floral window clings. Use the glue stick on the back side of the sheet protector and having the flowers in your window facing the inside of the house would fade them less quick. How about that idea I just thought of. 😊 Also, I took have a hard time hanging framed items when they already have a cord. This is a BRILLIANT idea with a fork. My Dad has not been well all week and I have worried about him so much and often have cried. I have text him a couple times and no reply. I have prayed for him that he will always remember that I am his oldest and not forget me. I called him right before I saw your video and he answered the phone. He sounded weak but with a cherry voice he asked if this was his oldest beautiful daughter Rebekah and I replied with us this the best Dad in the world and he said he did not know who that was and he started laughing. Once I spoke to him I started my day over. I hung up from him and thought now I will run out and get some happy food a donut and coffee when I rec'd your alert. I am really psyched on trying to make floral labels too. I finally found a journal cover I really like. I wanted a vintage older looking one. I just gave to buy a book now from the Dollar Tree and glue it's pages into the binding of the old cover. I haven't really known where to begin, how to get started what shall be in my first page. But, my Mom and I loved butterflies so I want to add butterflies to the first page. Deidra, at the Dollar Tree that is 45 min away from me they had a 25 pack of die cut wood butterflies. I bought one pack hoping to make earrings out of 2 but they will be wonky hanging sideways. Just he other day I wanted to paint a couple to glue to my cards I make for Easter but I wondered how to paint them where they would be steady. And paint would not be wasted. Putting them on 3M tape is an awesome idea. When I paint more I am going to take a photo of it and post it on Instagram with a shout out to you. I have so many wonderful ideas today. I bought myself a mini drill for Christmas from Amazon and I got one for my Dad too. I am hoping my little home will have a nice laundry room and your cut down jug will be ideal to mount on a nice board or into the wall (I have a drill now 😊) and put ribbon over the sharp maybe edges and throw my laundry pods in them. Even in a shed would be cool to put garden gloves in or those mini dirt pots etc. You and the other DIYer I always enjoy. Her name escaped me in 2 seconds I one day wrote to you using her name. Wow, I am drawing a blank. I have been worrying about my Dad and now I am wondering about me. Have a wonderful day and thanks for posting all these wonderful ideas. Love, Rebekah in VA
Thank you for this video! I have so many dried flowers from a couple summers ago and have been trying to decide how and what to do with them, so this is perfect. Thank you again.
Great ideas, thanks! Years ago I had 2 camisoles that were a cute print but too small. I sewed the bottom closed & I hang them from the back of my car seats. Great for tissues, paper towels & other things I like to keep handy.
I've done similar using laminating pouches then cut into bookmark shapes. Punch a hole. Add ribbon. I zigzagged around. Had kids give to teachers. Later found a laminator at thrift for $5. It broke so used an iron on the pockets, I also printed photos of kids on vellum. Added fliers and cut I heart shape with ribbon to hang for grandparents. Did wedding memories with dates with her bouquet. If you iron flowers to laminate use parchment paper and mostly do edges. Flowers can scorch.
I really enjoyed this video and the techniques you shared. I really liked the hack with the pressed flowers. There are other ways to do it of course but I always enjoy seeing alternatives in case you’re out of supplies or need more affordable options. I would’ve really enjoyed seeing how you dried your flowers included in this video. Maybe another time? Thanks for sharing. 😊
@@OurUpcycledLife You’re very welcome. Do you think you would make a video showing the process of how you dry and press your flowers in the future? I’ve watched other videos on the subject and I know there are tons more so haven’t seen but your colors were still pretty vibrant and they turned out lovely. I would love to know your process.
I learned the packing tape label trick years ago, and I've never had the labels come off. I've had them on my jars about five years now. Just be careful when cleaning the jars and they'll stay put.
Wonderful, great ideas, some of which I’ve already done. I love being thrifty and self sufficient and you help us do just that. That box was a great idea but I would have covered the inside too if it was a gift, but for me, for storage, I wouldn’t. As always, you have the BEST music!
@@OurUpcycledLife I have so many wood signs made, some from new wood,some from old, usually stenciled wording, and if I were to sell them wholesale, I have no idea what to charge. What characteristics determine the value? Besides $ for wood, paint, size, time, labor, embellishments? I have no idea. Hope you can help.
Awesome ideas. Some of them I already knew, but the one I was more surprised was the one used for painting those little items. Why did I never thought of that?☺️☺️☺️☺️. So simple, yet so effective. Thanks❤
5:35 This technique works absolutely perfectly. I have a tendency to let mine sit for a while just because I’m still getting a project ready so just know if you let them sit a long time (even overnight) they still work. I have used this technique for custom graphics that went into resin pieces and they all turned out exceptionally well. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When u use page protector for bigger sticker u could stick flower slightly towards edge or do some tiny sticker on 4 corners else 2 page protectors are used less optimally.
for the stickers using page protector plastic - why do you stick the plastic on parchment paper if it already comes with a backing that can be peeled off? love this, btw. i'll be trying it with my camp kids over the summer.
How do you dry your flowers? Mine are always on their sides. I put them in rice for 2-3 months. Also what do you use for drying them. Thanks for any help!
For the stickers, when using the page protector, why do you have to take the backing off and move it to the parchment paper? Can't you just build your sticker on it with the backing still on then peel off the backing when you're ready to stick it to something? That would save the parchment paper so there would be less waste. Is there a reason that wouldn't work and it has to be on the parchment paper?
AND… the other half of the jug that you cut can be used as a large scooper for dog food or mulch/soil. etc. OR as a funnel for many different things. 😊. I always enjoy your videos and the many great ideas you share with us.
I can't believe I heard you say "Magic Marker". 😂 I wish I had a dollar for every time I had someone ask me "What's that??" Love it!!! Fun video by the way!!
Oh you know the grocery bag one! Version I first saw said cut fringe and tie 2 together but left holes. I loop knotted them then pushed knot up tight. No holes. Now I sew into backpacks.
I love these tips, I will use I think all of them. You sparked my mind with the dry flowers hack. I think I have an idea that might take it to the next level. I am going to try it. If it works I will share. Thank you for your time💖💖

in the UK parchment paper is called baking sheet and comes on a roll in poundland or tesco for cooking
Yes, just different wording Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing 👍🤓👍, i shared you out 👍🫶👍❣️

@@OurUpcycledLife Thank You sooooo much 💙. The colours stay so bright! I'm glad I asked 😊
If these were put on a wooden surface would you just seal it with a clear paint?
Yes you could
For the stickers, when using the page protector, why do you have to take the backing off and move it to the parchment paper? Can't you just build your sticker on it with the backing still on then peel off the backing when you're ready to stick it to something? That would save the parchment paper so there would be less waste. Is there a reason that wouldn't work and it has to be on the parchment paper?
Yes, you could definitely do that. I kind of thought the same thing after I did the video that it was kind of silly lol
PS Who I am trying to think about her company name is Canterbury Cottage but, I cannot think of her personal name. - oh, I think it is Sherry. 😊
Yes love Sherry ❤️
Hi Deirdre ! That hang picture frame with a fork is brilliant. Now I hope I can remember it.😊
It's so good!
AND… the other half of the jug that you cut can be used as a large scooper for dog food or mulch/soil. etc. OR as a funnel for many different things. 😊. I always enjoy your videos and the many great ideas you share with us.
Great tip!
I can't believe I heard you say "Magic Marker". 😂 I wish I had a dollar for every time I had someone ask me "What's that??" Love it!!! Fun video by the way!!
Haha I didn’t realize not everyone calls it that 😎
Is that roll of vinyl sheet protector the same thing as clear contact paper?
Yes but think it is a bit thinner
@@OurUpcycledLife thank you😊
Great ideas!
Glad you like them!
You are so clever! ❤️
💙👍💯...Very useful ideas..especially the method you used to cover a box with fancy paper.
Thank you so much 😊
As my grandmother used to say, "Well, aren't you clever!" And yes, you are!
Thanks 😊
Lots of fun ideas- I loved the stickers & fork hack 😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊
