6 TRASH TO TREASURE DIY HOME DECOR PROJECTS FOR OUR NEW BOOTH

In this episode, I'm going to take you to our NEW booth but first, we are going to work on six Trash To Treasure DIY home decor projects! First, we'll remake a topiary in order for it to be a hot seller! Then we'll paint and distress a small copper shelf. After that...we'll take a hodgepodge of birds that I've been collecting and make them over into cool cement looking birds using a baking soda and paint method. We'll take a big wooden spool and repair the holes that someone had made in them so that it's worth buying again! After that, we'll take an old letterbox that I got at the thrift store and then paint it and add a graphic to it! And, lastly, we'll take a sheep and freshen it up with paint and a hangtag! Afterward, I take you for a tour to Collette's in Burton, Michigan where we just opened up a NEW booth and I'll show you around a bit! So, if you're ready....then let's do this!!!

I know this is an older video, but was really good. I like how you don't edit out mistake so we can avoid your's and learn what NOT to do, as well as what to do. That's what I love about crafting, it's uniquely yours, mistakes and all! Farmhouse & primitives arn't my niche, but lov'n y'alls booth!

I love your channel and your adorable sense of humor! Keep on keeping on....LOVE YOUR BOOTH TOO!!! May God Bless you and keep you....love and hugs....!

Keep your head up and just know that there are people cheering you on and wanting you to be happy and have fun again, Janet! Thanks for watching and for sharing! XOXO

I use ink jet printer for reverse mod podge. I spray image with hair spray, wait a few minutes then apply. I also wait 24 hrs. before wetting and rubbing paper off. So far so good. Love your booth.

[@gaylesimper9311]

Carrie can you explain this process a bit more?🤩🤩

[@kari97632]

@@gaylesimper9311 I just lightly spay whatever I printed with couple coats hair spray, wait about 30 min. or so till completely dry and then apply my paper to my project with mod podge as usual. No smearing issues thus far. I just use cheap hair spray from dollar store.

[@megpetersen2443]

Outstanding booth setup and design!! How exciting!! Congratulations!! 💝

[@grandaygain]

I have used Waverly ink, and White for mixing with baking soda. I know many crafters have moved on from Waverly, especially since Walmart changed chalk paint lines. Or for more exotic lines of paint. None I have tried can surpass Waverly and I will continue to rely on Waverly and Rust Oleum as affordable paints.

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Well, after that problem with Wise Owl and the baking soda...that's good to know! I couldn't believe it was doing that because Wise Owl is such an expensive paint (I didn't pay big money on it because I got it when they were clearancing it out but it's such an expensive paint!) It shouldn't do that! Anyway, thank you for sharing your favorite paints with me and what works for you, Mitchel!!! You have a GREAT day, today!

[@netamorton4832]

Your booth is perfect. Like everything else in life, it just takes time to build it up! I love your channel!

The spoon repair was a cool trick!

[@nancysnell7428]

I love the birds. They really came out great. The booth looks awesome. I was a nurse for 40 years, tell your son he has made a great choice in careers, so many possibilities. Say hi to Mom, I really enjoy seeing her. It looks like she is recovering very well. Love your channel.

[@rosettaloggins3092]

Love your booth, I just started watching you & working with your family that is just great . How long have you been doing this ? If my mom was still with me she would be right by my side working My crafts with me . Just love watching you l have always been into crafts & home decor, I have a big family & I would always do crafts with my grandkids. I just retired 4 years ago & that’s all I do now . Your gonna do great !!!

[@ForeverHisforever]

I use to do the same, to decorate my home because of one, I couldn't afford the department stores and another because no one else had it and I bought all my clothes from the goodwill young adults would comment and ask me where I got my big bell bottom jeans so they could get some, that was 35 years ago when they didn't no longer make them, I always got compliments on my home and clothes and wasn't embarrassed to tell them where i got them, and I would tell them you can't buy them unless you find some from the thrift stores, I am delighted to see you doing the same, I just got this very nice clock from goodwill that was 2ft by 2ft that didn't work and bought a round 18 " antique brass one that did and took the working parts from it and fixed it, then took a bunch of photos and made a big picture frame out of it and put the glass back in it and hung it, my adult grandchildren and children now want it,

[@angelaforsyth1092]

Hi, it's my first time here. so far I had a giggle at your ivory heehee, ivory is an elephant tusk, what you were removing from the topiary was ivy, ivy is a plant. I am excited to see what you have in store for your thrifted treasures

[@petrinabiondo3705]

That would be “English Ivy” not Ivory.

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Did I say, Ivory? LOL I mean... it's possible, you never know with me! HEE HEE.... but, I'll have to listen!

[@tishka1972]

Lol. Definitely said "ivory" more than once. Made me giggle.

[@sandicantz2003]

@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE You also said "keep stimpling it." It's actually stipple or stippling" and you don't want to look up stimple in the Urban Dictionary. haha! Love your makeovers and your booth. Good luck to you.

[@The_Tinkers_Cottage]

Congratulations on your booth!! Excited to hear all about how successful it will be. As for the reverse image transfer with the Liquitex gel medium, don't give up on your Ink Jet printer. Make your copy, let it sit for 24 hours, then spray with a clear sealant, let dry and then try to transfer it. Would love to hear back if you give it a try. Also I would love to know how you design you tags, they are just the cutest. So love your channel and look forward to new episodes, whenever I have time I'm always going back to watch episodes from the past.

First of all, your booth looks fabulous! Congrats! Thanks so much for taking us along as you dealt with the challenges of using the gel medium. It helped me realize that it's all about the process - not perfection.

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Thank you so much, Denise! Yes, it was definitely a challenge but I was determined to make it work! LOL Mistakes aren't failure...they are just how we learn what works and how we learn to overcome our challenges, at least that's how I like to think of it! And, yes...it is about the process and not about perfection! Anyway, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment! XOXO You have a BEAUTIFUL day, Denise!

[@averysnest2745]

Love your creative decorations! I did the iron-on transfers on two teatowels. I was like you where I didn't follow your directions!LOL. My first attempt I cut around the images like how you explained in your video. The second time I didn't. Oh boy, the paper around the image made a rectangle around my image on the towel. The excess paper infused in the fabric. However, I used my iron to heat and melt the excess off. It came off though. Lesson learn! Congratulations on your booth! It looks amazing!

[@tamtim6770]

What a fun time! 😃 congrats to you and your mama! ❤

[@kathygordon5001]

If you use waverly chalk paint with baking soda in color steel then apply white waverly wax after paint is dry then wipe off wax it looks exactly like cement and it all sticks very well

[@2222dw]

Oh I love the birds - I have been doing the base coat - flat- never thought to use the texture in black - I think I will still spray a base - but then do black texture! Oh and I see you did not decant your paint! Oh well, thanks for the cameo!

I was going to be a designer engineer. I probably would have been retired with a pension right now. LOL I guess God, just had other plans for me! HEE HEE So, anyway....I tell them...do it...you're young....time will pass anyway and you'll have a GREAT career! Well, thank you for the compliments, Charlotte! You are the BEST! XOXO

New subbie here. Just stumbled upon your channel. Loving your channel. I've been using the reverse transfer method for years using both Lazer and Inkjet printers. . Patience is needed. And waiting is crucial for a professional finish.several Several passes are needed to remove all the paper. And gently. Rushing it will only ruin it.
