[@StrawberryFields4ever65]

YEAYYYYY....I found my sister-soul-mate!!! Not only a Southern girlie, but someone ELSE who doesn't throw away "useful" items!!!

[@tonyakowalke2680]

I was laughing every time you said, " do not throw this away". I used to hoard everything and made so many projects with all of my treasures but we did a huge purge, donating or selling 80% of our belongings. So, I should not be watching your video but my favorite project has got to be the repurposed light fixtures. Beautifully done!

[@marylousaldana9591]

Julie, I love all ur projects and know u use carbon paper alot. I have been trying to get carbon paper, bit can't get any in my area. Where do u get ur carbon paper.

[@barbarawhite7337]

I totally found you by accident, but your content is right up my alley! I'm going be binge watching your previous vlogs on Saturdays.

The light globe ornaments are FANTASTIC! I was so happy to see this new video pop up! I think I could watch you 24/7 and never get tired of it. 😃

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Yay! Thank you!

[@gailknapp5489]

I love the lamp globe project, and the out pot

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Julie, this has to be one of the BEST DIY Trash-To-Treasure videos you've done and that I have seen❣ Hands down, my favorites HAVE TO BE the light fixture globes that you turned into tree ornaments with the LED tea lights inside and the light fixture you added the old curtain rod finial to the top opening, turning it into a beautiful cloche❣ Bravo, Julie‼️👏👏👏*

[@teresajenningsoldstoneycreek]

I loved your projects! The way the”enamel”“ crackled” at the bottom of your pot was perfect! Old enameled pots actually do that! It was a bonus!

[@Crystal_Stephens]

Oh my goodness. My head is swimming, because I want to try all of these tonight...lol. If only I had all the supplies 😀. Sending to my friends that I know will love these projects too.

[@lorimiller6153]

Julie--I now look at my "junk" in new and positive ways. I don't throw anything away now bc I may repurpose them. I love all your ideas and inspiration!

[@brendahenson788]

My grand kids watched with me so we are going to make the trees on spindles to give out at the nursing home our most favorite

[@janeklingler8666]

I'm am so amazed at how nothing goes to waste with you. You find a purpose for everything i Love it. Your ideas are so creative keep bringing the awesome videos. Can't wait to try some of your ideas.

[@lindseyg9429]

Julie I think you are one of the most creative little ladies I know. You can literally turn anything into a beautiful piece of decor. I love the hanging light fixture ornaments. Absolutely genius & gorgeous!! ❤️⛄️❤️

[@dmo1732]

This is one of the best Christmas craft videos out of the 8542 that I have watched since October 2021. Paper bag and pickle jars has my name all over it....things like that touch my Grincy green 💚

[@greerpeters4233]

Julie, you have got to be the Queen of recycling!! I thought I keep a lot of stuff because I might need it later, but you beat me by a mile. And your ideas are so cute and usable in all kinds of decor with just a little tweaking. You also have so many of your projects that can be done with children at least up to high school. I was an art teacher for years and these are great suggestions for teachers to do in their classroom with little cost. Goosh keep up the great ideas. A quick thought, you should put together 20 or so ideas that teachers can do in the classroom and advertise it for that purpose. you could make a little out of it and there would be lots of happy teachers.

[@brendabradley6215]

I love the way you reuse everything. Nothing goes to waste. Your projects are beautiful. Who knew a paint bucket could look so good.

[@tarynkriebel319]

Need the trees in my life

[@dawnphillips9386]

Wow! Julie, you really out did yourself in this video! I loved all of them, but my favorite is the glass shades that you upcycled and put on your tree!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you so much!

[@dorothylehman4164]

Holy this is a 72-year-old great-grandmother I'm so proud of it I have two great grandchildren a beautiful little girl that's 9 months old and a four year old great grandson I always look at your tutorials I love watching you I watch all you're going shopping to the thrift stores the antique places the junk Shores I love it I love all of it I've always watched all of your tutorials and gave you a thumbs up so I hope I can win these trees cuz I would really love to have them have the mold that would be super nice if I won that

[@crystallbell5545]

Oh Julie, I love how you don't throw anything away. I have become a hoarder of this stuff. Thank you for getting me inspired to upcycle this problem box I compiled. I got to say my favorite is the paint can and tree spindles. Seriously I loved them all.

[@melissahope6039]

I love ALLLLL THEEE!!!!!! You ALWAYS do great projects! I think my favorite (I wanna try to make it!) is the tree boxes! But I also love the vintage books, those postcards!! 🤔 lol

Julie, your design-eye and talents are simply amazing! I absolutely love everything that you do! You are such an inspiration! ♥️🥰🙏🏻

We are a kindred spirit, Julie. i have a terrible time discarding anything. I believe creative folks always see another way to use anything!

[@girlscouts2252]

Julie, you've given me so many ideas that I can share with my girl scouts. Once they are done with the treasures, I plan on having the girls give them as gifts to our local senior citizens. Thank you and keep teaching us.

[@janicegunter1331]

Love the box so so cool. ....

[@belindagodfrey941]

Thank you Julie for all the beautiful ideas. It inspired me to get busy creating.

[@nancyharrington3675]

It was all unbelievable but I think my favorite were the jars you covered with lunch bags. So clever and like you said, who doesn’t have empty jars in the recycle bin. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks so much! 😊 you too.

[@paulabross8808]

I love the paint can with the IOD mould of all Christmas Trees..

[@jenswaringen7826]

Those globe ornaments are precious!

[@luruiz3540]

These are all great ideas. I especially like the enamel look on an old pot. I have a stack of old pots that belonged to both my Mom and Mother-in-Law that I just couldn't throw out. Now I don't have to, I can repurpose them for my home and keep their memories with me as decor in my home. Love it!

[@debbiesanchez9821]

I love that you don't throw anything away! My favorite project was the pickle jars. Such a neat way to repurpose them. I can't wait to try it!

I just remember looking at my husband and saying did you just see that❗ Like I needed proof of what I just saw.... I think you have super powers ❗❗ And as far as a fav ...I am torn as I can't decide between the lanterns or the paint bucket❗❗❗

[@kellyyates8096]

It's great how you turn what others would throw out into beautiful decor!

[@limamelanie]

My favorite was the seasoning jar repurposing!

[@Thisisit120]

Wow those empty seasoning containers the big one especially looks like a birch branch. Very pretty well done.

[@stephanieratcliff6165]

Pickel jar and a paper bag, too much fun. The light fixture ornaments are stunning. I am going on the hunt for fixtures! Thank you for all the beautiful items you create and the inspiration.

[@rogettesteele5322]

This is one great video about recycling and up scale daily household items. My favorite one is the refurbished green paint.When you added white wax it was like the cake topper. You can use for Christmas and after that winter decor. Thank you for you "out of the box" creativity!!!

It's the first time I've seen one of your videos and I felt identified with you. I also don't like to throw things away and my husband says I'm a hoarder. I showed him your video and I told him now you understand why I keep so many things, you have to see it with a crafter's eye, it’s not garbage, it’s art. I liked everything you did, you’re very creative. 👏🏼😀
