TOP TEN TRICKS FOR UPCYCLING THRIFT STORE FINDS!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- In this video, I demonstrate ten different ways to upcycle and elevate your thrift store finds, so that they can “reach their potential.” These methods include incorporating fabric, using ribbons and trims, adding natural elements, decoupaging (especially with inexpensive napkins), adding pretty paper, adding small embellishments (such as unique buttons), using rub on transfers or stickers, adding faux or real plants and flowers, and incorporating metallic accents. I will transform 10 of my own thrift store finds to show you how these ideas can take a thrift store item from so so to spectacular! Hope you enjoy the video and are inspired to try some thrift flips of your own!

I love the way you finish the back of your projects. I know no one ever sees the back, but it is so professional.
Thank you very much! Because I sold my DIY projects in a booth for many years, I always feel like the back should be finished, too!

You are like the queen of thrift flips. I love all of your ideas and some of them are such simple, easy ways to just completely change an item, but it's having the creativity to see beyond what's there and really create something brand new. Thanks for helping us save money and make our homes beautiful. God bless you!
Thanks so much 😊 I appreciate your kind comments so very much, Annie!
Interestingly… I see the branch with the butterflies in a modern home. Maybe another one could have bumblebees with flowers. Love your videos.
Love the decoupaged lamp, and the fabric covered frame. So pretty.,
@@CanterburyCottagenew subscriber. You should have been an art teacher. What is the best way to dust/clean your fabric and botanical creations?
I think the lamp was the most dramatic transformation. I find it amazing that a combination of budget friendly supplies can yield such a change. I also enjoyed the wood bowl with the dried pressed blooms. I am a sucker for dried flowers.
Hello Sue, how are you doing today
Sherry - you outdid yourself with the Blue and White decoupaged lamp. Bravo!
I appreciate you - I have no idea how you come up AND complete all these projects,but I’m thrilled each week to see!
Thank you so much! Delaine, that is so very kind of you to say!
I love the butterfly branch. So cute! I love when you say, "from my stash". You've got so many great things in Your stash.
An "unfortunate" original paint job on the lamp? LOL! You are too kind! I LOVE the lamp--the finished product, and can't wait to try it!
You would have been over the moon if you had seen what our neighbors pulled out of their great grandmother's shed. I took home three amazing, but very rusty, French plant carts and stands. Then I noticed an arched metal arch with three rings for placing plants (not sure of the name) and with watching all your videos I knew I would find a purpose for it and now wish I had taken more of their stash that was put out for garbage.
Your channel has sparked the creative part of my oh so damaged brain. Thank you for this renewed gift. You never know how you will touched another's life and you have dearly touched mine. God Bless.
Decoupaged Lamp -Branch in frame - Wood Bowl with pressed Flowers STUNNING !!!
Thank you for these beautiful creative ideas! You are a treasure dear lady. 🌸
The lamp was beautiful. Such a transformation and so high end. Absolutely stunning.
As I watch you work, there's is a smile on my face and I shake my head in awe of your creativity. Thanks for all that I've learned.
Simple..lovely..and very creative..you are always surprising..thank you Sherry for your precious ideas
I , too , Love the lamp , but I also love the wooden bowl ! I have some lovely dried flowers that I plan to use the same way.
All great makeovers. I especially love the William Morris quote frame. Also loved the trick for gluing the lace on the basket.
Thanks so much, Anastasia! 😊
You always amaze me with your projects…love them all!
I really like both the lamp and the fabric covered box. Sherry, you have a level of patience I don’t even aspire to!😊
I think my favorite was the towel covered metal file box. I would have never thought to cover it. Looked great!
I love all your ideas. I wish you would consider helping your followers figure out how to decorate an area in their home. A good example ...a small corner or an odd shaped space. You are so good at coming up with unique and fun ideas.
I am like a child in a candy store, just waiting for your videos. Thank you for being you.
No way can I choose a favorite. Every. Single. One. Is. Awesome!!
Such great ideas. Love what you did with the box and the frame with the branch. It's always a joy when you have a new post.
I love everything! The lamp is definitely my favorite, though. You never disappoint Sherry! Thank you for your amazing inspiration!
Hard to pick a fav, but probably the polka dot lamp transformation and the plain wooden bowl w flowers! 🥰
Thank you! I really liked how the bowl turned out, too!
Another video of beautiful upcycled goodies. Yes, that lamp…💙🤍💙
Thank you, Cheryl! 🤗
The lamp is my favorite ! Love all the refurbished items !
The pressed flowers in the wooden bowl were lovely. And that lamp! No wonder it’s your favourite! Thank you for another delightful video.
You are just amazing! I love all of today's up-cycled items.
Wow, thank you! You are so sweet, Shirley!
I love how that lamp came out with the blue and white napkins, beautiful!
So many wonderful creations, Sherry! My favorite was the lamp! I love it!
My favorites were the wooden bowl with flowers, the frame using the fabric scraps and the small bouquet of dried flowers, and the lamp…Sooo pretty!
By George, you’ve done it again! The fabric on the metal case was the method I needed to see today! Thanks again Sherri for reading my mind … again! 😊
Keep the butterflies, Sherrie, but put the twine covered branch in the recycle bin. Everything else was WOW!!!
All of your projects are whimsical nothing is ever wired to me your creativity is a inspiration to us all ❤❤❤❤👍🏾
LAMP! Definitely! But they're all lovely.
I loved the metal file folder. My mouth was open when done.
Gorgeous projects! TFS. Blessings 💜🙏🏽
Thank you! You too!
I like the butterfly branch. It is so whimsical. The lamp was amazing too.
The ingenuity and creativity are off the charts!!
That polka dot lamp makeover is stunning!!
All gorgeous but that lamp is perfection!!!
Amazing up cycled projects today my favorites are the wood bowl, the twig picture frame and the file box. Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas in your videos, I look forward to watching every week.
The lamp is just beautiful! But I think my favorite is the metal box!!
The decoupaged lamp is absolutely stunning. I love decoupage, its so satisfying!
I like the lamp with the unfortunate polka dot paint job-too funny!
OMGoodness, Sherry! When I saw your "coat hook" I thought "I have one exactly like it!"😲 Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought to see another one! Love what you did to it and as always, enjoy your creations! 😊
My favorite is the frame with the sticks and flowers. A smaller version would look good with a grouping of things. Of course the lamp was your choice!! It is lovely.
All are quite lovely! But, oh! That lamp! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My favorite is also the lamp. The projects are all lovely, the lamps just jumps out at me. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Sherry. I absolutely love blue and white things. The make over of the lamp is stunning! It is perfect to go with my blue and white pieces. Now for me to go thrifting for a lamp. Love every one of the other projects too! So many great ideas for unique decor! I will be hitting the local thrift stores tomorrow.
Thank you so much! Hope you find a great lamp (and for $3, like mine)!
The lamp was quite a transition! My favorite.
That lamp….OMG. Beautiful ❤ and the William Morris frame…. I love it
So many great ideas, Sherry. I'll never dismiss a thrift store lamp again! The lamp, the hook, and the framed floral branch are my top favorites.
Oh, thank you so much, Elizabeth! When I bought that lamp, Goodwill had a beige ginger jar type lamp for sale. I liked the ginger jar shape, but they wanted $25 for that lamp and only $3 for the polka dot one that I bought! 😜
Love what you do. Thank you for sharing your projects! They are all so beautiful, but that wooden bowl idea was genius!
That metal box was the greatest surprise. You've got such talent.
Oh, thank you, Billie!
I love all your ideas. I've done some many of them.
Yay, thank you!
All of these turned out so adorable. The lamp is my favorite… it’s gorgeous.
The lamp is beyond fabulous! I loved the bowl with flowers and the floral wall hook. The branch picture frame is awesome too (I just have no place to put it). Who am I kidding, I loved it all!! Thanks for making my Mondays!
Thanks so much! 😊 You are so sweet!
The lamp turned out beautiful! It looks like Dresden porcelain!
That lamp is gorgeous. You have brought the love of blue back in my life.
Yay! Thank you!
It's impossible to pick a favorite --they are all so beautiful! From your book collection, I'd guess you were an English professor but from your obviously artistic talents, you must have been an artist. Your insight and vision are absolute gifts.
While I love everything you do, I have to admit that the lamp is the best yet. That is amazing. You have such a great eye for hidden treasures.
My favorite project in this video was the toolbox. You made it look like a trunk. That was awesome.👍
Definitely the Queen of Decordom!
I have never wanted to take the time to glue flowers to a branch to create a tree, but I like your idea of a framed twig.
I loved the lamb, wood bowl and the hook. Everything was incredible ❤
The lamp caught my eye as well. That blue and white napkin set has been put to such good use!
The lamp was my favorite too. It’s beautiful
My favorite is the metal box. But the lamp is also gorgeous!
You’re a Genius! As I watch each project, I sit here and just shake my head back and forth in amazement at your boundless imagination! It’s not crafting, IT’S ART, that should be in a gallery. I loved, loved the wooden hanger! Working with material to cover the luggage piece was amazing to create texture and laborious as well. As it opens from the top, I thought the carrying handle should have been placed on the top for balance and stabilization for the contents. I’m walking away with so many ideas thanks to your talents.
The way you were able to piece the napkin together on the lamp is amazing!!
You do the most amazing flips with thrift items.
I don’t ever seem to find good thrift items but it’s probably my lack of imagination.
I absolutely love all your crafts with birds....always beautiful!❤❤
The lamp was my favorite, it is just beautiful.
Love everything....no way to pick just one!!! I do love the butterfly branch...so cute !!!! 🐱
my favorite was the lamp. But I also loved the butterfly tree. those buttons were amazing . The cloth covered items was a wonderful idea. I like the basket with lace also.
My favorite was the doily ribbon around the basket and the coat hook makeover.
There is no end to your talents and imagination ❤
I love the frame with the branch and faux flowers petals. The branch with the wood butterflies is another one I love. Lately I've been on my landlords property picking up so many things in nature. I've got alot of birch bark and branches, a bag full of pine cones and flat rocks to decopauge on. I'm really getting into this natural way of crafting. I get so much inspiration from watching you and the projects you do help me to see things differently. Thank you 4 sharing.
You are so welcome! You are so lucky to have birch bark!!! We had a birch tree but had to have it removed. It started dying after some strong winds split it down the middle! They are not a very sturdy tree but so pretty!
The wooden bowl and the hook are my favorites! 🌻
Lovely as always. I liked the simplicity and uniqueness of the butterfly branch, but loved the rehab on the metal case. That got my wheels turning. I have a few metal cases to work with. I love how the fabric adds dimension and softens it, and I'm visualizing the perfect imagery on mine. Thank you for the inspiration .❤
The mirror covered with fabric was very nice.
All of your projects are lovely and creative but, oh that lamp!!! Gorgeous!
I think the bowl and the lamp are my favorite but all of them are wonderful.
The lamp turned out beautifully
Both of them for under everything was absolutely beautiful. I think my favorite had to be the lamp.
I love the wooden bowl,lamp is my style. The fabric frame is beautiful.
That lamp was amazing. I loved the green box too.
I love how the box turned out and the lamp.
The lamp was definitely my favorite as well. Lovely!
I've done personalized photo books like you did the frame but Loved the saying and little dried arrangement. The other up cycle was probably the lamp. I will be looking differently at thrift store visits.😊
I love how your metal file box turned out - so clever!
I liked the pink flowered branch with the bird on the frame the best.
Thank you for this video.
I love what you did with that metal box.
I loved them all, but I have to say my favorites are the frame and the wall plaque with the hook. Thank you!💞
A bird nest would have taken the frame and branch up to another level. Absolutely beautiful.
I loved all your projects today. My favorites were the lamp and the cover. The cover holding a wreath came out absolutely gorgeous and it's something unexpected. Thank you for sharing these projects. Have a great week.🙏
The lamp makeover was beautiful!
I too love the lamp. That being said, I loved the creativity of each of your projects. You have a true gift of upcycling thrify finds.
Thank you so much! That is so kind of you to say!
I liked all of the projects, but my favorite is the wood bowl. Great job!
I love the basket with lace and love birds
Lamp, bowl and box… in that order. 👍
