10 Christmas Trash to Treasure 🎄 Christmas Thrift Store Flip DIY's

[@carolhammond4570]

Loved every single one of these! When I saw the spindles, I thought how cute they would be made up to look like old fashioned gas lit street lamps. Different minds, different directions! All so cute! Saved this video for future inspiration. Thank you!

[@marykuhn7510]

My favorite was the candles in the tray.I thought it was lovely. MK

[@katherineburden5416]

I love anything buffalo check, but I love how that thrift store Chritmas tree turned out. So pretty.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Katherine Burden. Have fun watching! 💕

[@mizl3698]

All were wonderful

[@julias259]

I love all of these! Little snowflakes would be cute on the Let It Snow sign. Love your creativity.

[@thepsalmsisters]

I love the traditional Christmas colors. Red and Green but white is so elegant and classy.

[@armellep.4237]

Hi, this year I have a “3 golds” theme... white gold, yellow gold and rose gold. Have plenty of gold and silver ornaments, but made most of the rose gold ornaments myself w/ spray paint, glitter, pearls, ribbons and more...

[@juliejohnson3807]

You're so refreshing to watch! Calm, not loud, or flinging your hair from side to side AND you don't use the word "GUYS" 24 times in a 13 minute video!😱.... Please keep up the great video's, they are trying enjoying to watch!☺️

[@jamiehager956]

This year I’m doing natural woods, whites and greens with some dried orange slices. Going Scandinavian!

[@laurietonna5281]

Hi Liz, The christmas tree looks really nice. A little goes a long way. I am going to go to my thrift store & look for some xmas goodies. Thanks for sharing and have a great day !

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Laurie Tonna. It's my pleasure to share. 😄

[@janeschultz5570]

Love this video.This year I am going with a mostly white christmas tree, but accents of red in our family room with our bookshelves.

[@shannonrivera8540]

My tree is done with white and silver. I add pops of blue into white and silver around the house. I have a winter woodland vibe around my fireplace with the deer, fox and squirrels made of natural materials. I just love it.

[@sabras7466]

My favorite was the tray with the candles and ornaments. My decorating theme this year will be an old fashion snowy Christmas in blues and silvers. I'm also decorating my kitchen area in a gingerbread theme. Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful ideas, now I'm excited to get started on my diy projects for Christmas.

[@nicole1184]

Sabra S Hello! I change my theme up every year too. I’m doing Blue Plaid Nutcracker Christmas. I found nut crackers at dollar tree a couple weeks ago. I was totally thrilled! I just started painting my large DIY pieces this morning. I’m excited too🎄🎄🎄

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you liked it, Sabra S! Stay tuned for more fun videos. 😊

[@elizabethholmes4450]

Our three this year is baking theme with measuring cups and spoons, hand towels as ribbon, small spatulas, and a chefs hat as a tree topper 🎄

[@mountainmama2101]

How clever!! Love it!

[@victoriajohnson914]

I adored all of these! But I think just bringing the tree new life was my favorite! Thank you for sharing!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Victoria Basnett. It's my pleasure to share. 😄

[@evelyndaisy9722]

I loved that one too

[@longarmsupplies]

Renewing the life of an old Christmas tree made me so happy. It makes me sad to see them tossed away...they have so many happy memories to share with us!

[@JacquieMc1]

would like to see some "pop" of other colors-- not just white for holiday decor ideas. I liked the snow added to the Christmas tree

[@staceykersting705]

I've got 2 Xmas trees. A white one for my dresser...all whites, golds, silvers and pearls. My living room one's atop a buffet....green with tinsel, white lights and mostly teal, purple and green ornaments...some silver and gold, too. The colors look like a peacock.

[@bethhughes430]

I just love shopping at thrift stores and the restore in my area. It's such an inexpensive way to pick up previously loved or used for other things products and totally making them into unique, beautiful new things all together. Repurposing is just fun to do! Your items all turned out so nice. Although they were inexpensive and not very labor intensive they turned out looking so high end and will be beautiful in your home for years to come. This is a perfect example of what I say, which is that you really don't have to have a lot of money to have beautiful things or a gorgeous home! TFS Liz!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Beth Hughes. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍

[@judyfelts9049]

The Christmas tree was my favorite. Turned out beautiful!!

[@lindafleming1072]

The Christmas tree

[@violaalley8567]

They all turned out beautiful 👍

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Oh, thank you, Viola Alley. Stay safe. ❤️

[@ZBeautifulDay]

It is too hard to pick a favorite, I love them all. I will be doing something similar to the two wooden presents for my wall.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi ZBeautifulDay. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍

[@mistyjones4558]

I love the redo on the old picture it looks fab with just a new paint color on the frame. Very classy.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Misty Jones. Have fun watching! 💕

[@kellyford9279]

The updated Christmas tree was my favorite!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you liked it, Kelly Ford! Stay tuned for more fun videos. 😊

[@mmgurlthatshott]

Mine to it turned out so beautiful 😍

[@lindadowling8484]

Love jar candle holder.

[@sandraelaine401]

My fav today - It's the most wonderful time sign. I always decorate with red, green, and gold. It's the only time of year I can. And I love trees with multicolor lights - such sweet memories.

[@barbara-dj1uo]

I loved them all! ❤️ I think maybe the spindles tied together might win the “Most Creative Use of Recycled Architectural Salvage”award. 🎄🎅🏼🎄❤️

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, barbara. Have fun watching! 💕

[@ThatSimpleLife61]

Absolutely loved the winter print. So vintage, warm, and cozy. The spindle logs were unique too!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Yey! I'm glad you love how it turned out. 😁

[@michellesawyer7360]

Where can I get that paint or could I judt use doller store paint??or would walmart paint be better??

[@saragonzales7005]

Hello Liz...great projects!!! AWESOME loved the painted wood presents 🎁 and the tray with candles i will make these for sure! As always TYFS take care Liz🎄❄🎄❄🎄

[@cindyhedeen216]

The first project with the red boxes. Simple yet beautiful

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you liked it, Cindy Hedeen! Stay tuned for more fun videos. 😊

[@chillinwithrachel]

Liz: posts Me: my day just became 500x better Love from a positive U- tuber 💖

[@lizfenwickdiy]

❤️

[@Alleycatcreations2961]

I make candlesticks and snowmen out of old spindles. Love your idea!

[@terrymackey7470]

I love them all! That sled is sooo cute. My colors this year will be Farmhouse ivory with a touch of Gold

[@tondrarich6856]

My 5-year-old grandson watched with me, and he loved the sleigh fit the best of all!! ❤

[@leschultz488]

i have to say "I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!" I an downsizing and I hate it but oh well. Need to reinvent my things for my new place. you give me awesome ideas. THANK YOU! Keep it up girl

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, L E Schultz. Have fun watching! 💕

[@bigreddallas2742]

L E - I went from a 3,000 sq.ft. house to a 900 sq.ft. apartment, so I understand! BUT - once I really got into the idea of "being freed" from so much "stuff", I embraced what I really loved and sold/donated everything else! It has been five years now and I can honestly say that I don't miss the merchandise or the space. I enjoy the two crafts/projects that I kept tools etc. for and absolutely love my apartment - it is so easy and quick to keep spotless that I have more time for family, friends, crafting, reading, music etc. etc.! Added bonus: More money for travel from saving on utility bills, paying for weekly yard service, blah, blah, blah!! I hope you can be happy and comfortable in your new space.

[@lindanave6390]

Where do I begin? Liz, these CHRISTmas decorations are absolutely STUNNING, ALL of them!! Seriously!! Let’s see, the spindles GORGEOUS! The let it snow tray, I want one! The print, I love it!! Everything turned out so pretty! I’m ready for CHRISTmas now!! You are so talented and you have such a magic touch

[@maryschultze]

These all turned out adorable 😍 love that sleigh 🛷 🛷

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Yey! I'm glad you love how it turned out. 😁

[@tinah.3757]

I can't pick🤔 because I love them all

[@cherieanderton2324]

I absolutely love the wooden red Christmas gifts it was so simple and chic... Love

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I guess we have similar preference! Thank you, Cherie Anderton. ❤️

[@kathylenhart6275]

Love them all. Easy, inexpensive all beautiful.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Kathy Lenhart. Have fun watching! 💕

[@mariehocking9607]

Loved the candle tray and the thrift Christmas tree. I gave away my tree and 90% of my ornaments last year to a family who had lost everything in a house fire. Now I am going out looking for a small tree to rescue and jazz up with loads of lights. Happy creating. Cheers Marie ‘downunder’ 🌲🎄🌲

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Marie Hocking. I'm glad you loved that one. Thank you!😍

[@suzannegallicho7283]

I need you to come thrift with me. You have such wonderful ways of taking these trash items and make them beautiful treasures!!

[@audreydavis8114]

They were all beautifully done. Favs would be the tree and logs!

[@Mrs.Frankenstein]

I haven't even thought about Christmas yet bc I love Halloween so much but the Let it snow sign and the updated tree were my favorites! When you rubbed the paint on the spindles was that cloth wet or dry?

[@janetcrane5689]

I really liked the Christmas tree. I see old trees at every thrift store and will snag one the next time to redo it . Thanks for all the great tips!

[@RosieCarl]

My two favorites were the tree at the end and the winter picture where you painted the frame. For that picture, it looked like there was a little bit of green tint in the picture, so I might have chosen to paint the frame a subtle green and then drybrush on the white, leaving a little of the green showing. I think it would help tie the two together. I have one other question/suggestion: When you are covering something with paper, like you did with the sled, is there a reason you don't just apply the Mod Podge to the sled, press the paper on and let it dry, and then cut away the excess paper as opposed to trying to make a template? It just seems to me like it would save a step. I loved the idea of cutting the spindles up and bundling them as well. I was a little sad that a lot of the detail at the center of the spindles was hidden by the picks and the ribbon, but I really couldn't see a better way to do it. The picks and ribbon really finished it off. Your projects are always very creative!

[@kathandracatu336]

Are you kidding a favorite? I can't possibly pick 1 out..I love them all..

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Yey! I'm glad you love how it turned out. 😁

[@ktzier7351]

Do people really change colors annually? I stick with traditional red/green/gold colors and then just update accents. My tree is not themed either. I change the ribbon every year though

[@lynaeeakettgreene7208]

I liked them all, but i think the spindle bundle was so creative I love that one the most

[@vtgrnmts1]

The blue frame you painted black and used the Let It Snow sign, was a frame to put a calendar in. It would come out every time you changed the month or even a new calendar....I love what you did with it!!

[@Alleycatcreations2961]

I use the same colors and family ornaments every year. I also have a craft business so I add items each year that I’ve made. I’m obsessed with snowmen! My colors are traditional, reds and greens and some natural burlap thrown in certain areas.

[@cindyyeager4429]

I love the wooden presents, the spindles, ( have some to cut), the tray, and the tree. All very simple but elegant. 🎄

[@sherriwilson9226]

Loved the sleigh and the updated winter print. Decorating this year like usual with lots of rustic like deer pinecone and handmade ornaments, burlap and buffalo check.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Sherri Wilson. I'm glad you loved that one. Thank you!😍

[@yvonnewright8010]

The christmas picture but also the spindle bundles. Great job thanks for all the inspiration. TFS

[@shelly3343]

This Christmas I plan on using copper, brown, green and white. Love the wooden gifts.

[@rhiannavalentin6627]

This year I’ll be doing light blue,dark blue,white,pink, black and grey. Everything came out beautiful and TFS 😊

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Rhianna Valentin. It's my pleasure to share. 😄

[@tracydoyle993]

Loved the burlap bags under the tree idea. Nothing under mine either and it looks so bare. Great idea for stencils on them too.

[@ambermccall6497]

Love them all but the flocked Christmas tree is my favorite, simple and elegant 🎄❤

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Amber McCall. Have fun watching! 💕

[@kfine9310]

I'm going for a shabby chic theme - silver and gold with a mix of some burlap textures. My faves are the santa sack and upcycled Christmas tree! Love how neat you flocked the tree.😍 Thanks Liz for making our day!💕💕💕

[@jeanne1271]

I absolutely love that candle holder , white and silver ❤️

[@rondaclarke6991]

You have a good eye. Love the sleigh and gifts. I never find nice items like you do at my thrift shops. The spindles would make great cancel stick. This year in my main room I will be using red green and gold to decorate.

[@gnomealone350]

I think the updated tree came out really well - very tasteful. I don’t change my Christmas decor every year. I have decorations that I’ve collected over the years, from my childhood, and even passed down from parents and grandparents. They mean a lot to me and I think they work because of that. I can’t imagine just going and getting a bunch of new stuff that all goes together but has no meaning. But, that’s just me.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Anita Wickes! Thanks so much for watching my video. 😊

[@adrienneburke9723]

Lovely, easy and creative decor ideas, Liz. My favs were the sleigh, burlap sacks (on my list to look for some) and the Christmas tree brought to new life. My theme this year is Woodland in white with woodland decorations and animals in wood, silver, and a hint of blush pink, large blush pink cabbage roses tucked between the branches and a huge spray of sparkling white dripping florals with silver branches around a soft glittery star at the top. Also tucked around the tree are several large white feather owls. I have some tall lighted birch trees from Home Goods that I place around my living room as well, and add silver metal stags and lanterns. I wrap a soft plush white throw blanket with big white pompoms that looks like snowballs around the tree to give the illusion of snow. I tend to change the theme of my decor about every year. Such a fun time of year. Looking forward to your next projects! ❤🎄❤

[@pereiranancy07]

You have prodigious hands, all beautiful! thank you very much.

[@scrapfancy]

I do Red for my holiday. My tree does have handmade and ones we have bought over the years. I love the holidays and this will be able to have our tree up. The last two years I was laid up from surgery's. So happy to have it up.

[@pennyolson5349]

Cannot pick one to be my favorite they were all excellent ideas but the tree caught my eye the most

[@maryrhyner9623]

The winter print was my favorite, but all the projects are very pretty.

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Love the let it snow . Seeing alot of black white. All so pretty. Spendels very nice.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Lydia Kinnaman. Have fun watching! 💕

[@euniceSsaenz]

loved every single project you created, gave me alot of wonderful ideas, my absolute favorite was the last one, that tree was gorgeous after your sprucing it up, thank you for sharing!!!

[@cindyjones920]

My favorite was the winter picture with the repainted frame. It saves me having to decorate twice. Once at Christmas-same for the rest of winter.

[@jackieculpepper6413]

I loved them all, but the winner for me is the spindle bundle!! Creative, Liz!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Jackie Culpepper. Have fun watching! 💕

[@Carol-ul3bh]

You have a great eye for recognizing the treasure in the trash. I'm very impressed.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Carol. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍

[@lindajohnson24]

I always decorate with red, green & silver. Love your ideas and description on how to get it done. My favorite project was the tree! Great tree it was small enough to fit in so many places.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Linda Johnson. Have fun watching! 💕

[@cfran1015]

I loved what you did with the simple pieces of wood! Wow!!!!

[@connienicholson4649]

I love your ideas, especially the logs and frame. Trash to Treasure, as they say.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Connie Nicholson. Have fun watching! 💕

[@karenreddinger5429]

I decorate my tree in red and gold primarily. In addition to the Christmas balls (which are all glass in differing sizes and shapes), I use clip on large poinsettias from Kirklands and Pier One. I add some ice cycles that are glittery and sparkling. Many of them have been collected over the years. Finally, I incorporate whatever is current for a particular year. As I get older, I find I’m not so militant about how it should be decorated. Now I use memorable items, or things that remind me of times with my children when they were little, and things that I just like to look at.

[@maddy3sonmomma911]

Liz, you are so clever. Everything is reasonable and sophisticated. Really enjoy how you can visualize changes in everyday items.💖

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Maddy 3SonMomma. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍

[@bertrellephillips4367]

My colors for Christmas are navy blue, cream and white with a tiny bit of silver. Going for the very elegant look

[@juliday9866]

My favorites were the tray with candles and ornaments, the Let it Snow sign and the updated little Christmas tree!! You are so talented!!

[@tarabithianmonkey3746]

I loved them but the black paint over that beautiful blue broke my heart!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Tarabithian Monkey. Have fun watching! 💕

[@keripollakoff4005]

I'm thinking gold, white, and some pops of a deep red. Love your ideas!

[@rebeccagiovanini3281]

We’re doing a bright teal, gold, and white tree again this year. Love these diy ideas! The updated frame for the winter print is definitely my favorite. I’m excited to see what I can find at the thrift stores for my decor this year.

[@michellejasper2435]

Thank you for the idea of using the outline of stickers if you dont have a cricket. What a great idea.

[@barbarashipley9720]

They are all great but I love how you took that old Christmas tree and transformed it.

[@clareh5112]

Loved the tree at the end and the candles on the tray with ornaments. Thanks for sharing.

[@rockguardadoguzman3786]

Mason jar/candle holder and Christmas tree were my favorites!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you liked it, Rock Guardado Guzman! Stay tuned for more fun videos. 😊

[@patriciaclark54]

I love what you can buy at a thrift store, and make totally somewhere different with it

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Patricia Clark. Have fun watching! 💕

[@dorin9185]

Makeup wedges work great for stenciling as well. Love all of your projects great thrift finds

[@godscreation6327]

You have such an eye to see something that's old and rugged and turn it into a elegant and beautiful masterpiece! Great job on all of it but the renewed snowy pine tree was just Gorgeous! ❄🌲🎁

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi God's Creation. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍

[@kfelong3111]

I have never DIYd anything because I convinced myself am not crafty. You make it look like any and fun. So inspired ... and I need something to get out of pandemic funk!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Stay inspired and have fun crafting, K Felong! 😘

[@valerybiancardi6469]

Love the flocked Christmas tree! Beautiful and simple!

[@kimberlyjaramillo1196]

The sled was my fav this time! Will be looking for winter prints when I thrift. So cute!

[@cdc3415]

I loved the little tree that you added snow to. It's adorable. My main Christmas tree is very 'classic' and I never get tired of it during the holidays, plus it carries over well into the NY. All of the ornaments & garland are clear. When the tree lights are on, the tree appears to be covered in ice. It's gorgeous.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

I'm so glad you love it, Cynthia. Have fun watching! 💕

[@mountainmama2101]

At my home we are doing a vintage/elegant/thrifted style. I have been buying up non-breakable silver ornaments at the thrift stores and I plan to use them in bowls and such. I do have greens for the mantle and I would love to work in some mercury glass. My oldest son will go away to college this coming year. These last four years, I have been recovering from cancer and the negative effects of my immunotherapy. This year I am feeling better and I really want to make this Christmas great. 😁👍💖

[@churchladysj]

I absolutely love the Christmas Presents...easy and fabulous! I may do something like them for my fireplace mantle this year!

[@Stellaperez658]

Love all these DIYs!! I’m trying to make some of them. Love the wood gift boxes for the fireplace.

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

I can't pick a favorite, I loved them all. Thanks for sharing.

[@carlabernskoetter4634]

Loved the red christmas boxes and the jar with candle. The Christmas tree looks fabulous. Thank you for the video.

[@matildarose486]

I liked them all. The picture sign, "Let it snow". was very cute and I especially like the idea of giving that old winter scene picture some new life. IT Looked so nice when it was completed. I would have to say that the wooden presents were my favorite of all!

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Matildarose. Thanks for letting me know!💕

[@janedoe9421]

I could not possibly pick a favorite Liz!! You've out done yourself! I love all of them!! I love the music you're playing too🤗👍👍🌲!! I'm a sucker for traditional Christmas, and I'm stickin to it😁!! Thanks do much for the awesome inspiration! ❤

[@beatrizlatorre9871]

I like all, especially liked the one with the sleigh and the latest Christmas tree project.

[@bethhoppes6388]

All the items are so cute! I am going with traditional red and green this year. I don’t do a theme on my tree. I always use ornaments that were given to us as gifts, things that my kids and I have made through the years.

[@lizfenwickdiy]

Hi Beth Hoppes. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍

[@ravenstarh6483]

Love the spindles. They would be fantastic for a diy tiered tray!
