Budget Friendly Christmas Decor: 30 DIY Upcycles Using Goodwill Thrift Store Items!

[@HeyitsChar532]

I just thought of a thing to do with an old mailbox. Cut out both ends. Make an old fashioned covered bridge. I think that’s what they’ve called. Why not? 🙂

[@HeyitsChar532]

I slow your videos down and my dog loves your voice at that speed. He lays down and go to sleep! Lol

[@m.cooper1372]

I like the clock, fire screen and the xmas tree with tinker toys. I have to say I appreciate the fact you always finish the bottoms and backs to your diys. you are so creative, your brain must always be thinking. I wish I could find the little birds you seem to always have in your stash. I'm gonna be looking for them from now on. the little birds just make everything sweeter.

[@d__extraordinary175]

I have several favorites...the mittens, the clock face, the shadowbox AND the cork frame redo. It was spot on. Thanks for sharing, Sherry.

[@Sandy-qj5ex]

The deer plaque turned out so pretty. The pillar candle holder turned out awesome. I loved the cork frame, and it looks so rustic. It is absolutely a Christmas scene. I have ten different little ceramic houses I keep out year-round. I am going to embellish the shelf they sit on after seeing what you did with the mailbox. You are so gifted and can take other people's discards to use in wonderful ways.

[@rubyvelma7613]

Sherry, I've said it many times before and will continue to proclaim that you are A CRAFTING GENIUS!! Your creativity is endless and knows no bounds! I bet you wake up in the middle of the night to frantically jot down your GENIUS ideas! BTW, the clock upcycled to a snowy Christmas silhouette was AMAZING! LOVE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL!!! TYFS dearest Sherry! Wishing you and yours, God's continued blessings! 🙏🙏❤

[@cherylimeson3006]

Such a great imagination! I can't believe it, but I also found a moose and tree scene like your deer one. Also at a thrift shop. I too thought it was brass instead of plastic. Now I know what I can do with it.

[@toniawaddell1261]

[@shelleybeard1830]

It would be hard to make a choice. But I really loved that deer art you painted white and put in a frame. What an upgrade!!

The mailbox is adorable!

[@Tempusfugit-Anne]

My favourite were the salt and pepper snowmen. Thank you for the inspiration ! ❤

[@patriciakumar115]

You are the master of repurpose. All of these project were inspired! It's so hard to pick a favorite. The use of the old mailbox was pure genius and the silhouette in the clock frame was simply gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your creative genius with us.

Thank you, Tess! 😊

[@christinachef]

[@m.l3434]

My favourite this week was the mailbox and the large salt and pepper snowmen.

[@elainecivi6786]

Super creative from the mailbox to the snowmen salt grinders. But I think my absolute favorite is the Tinker Toy tree. Brings back tons of memories of my childhood. My second favorite would be the bookends with the iridescent glitter. Any kind of iridescent glitter reminds me of Christmas in the 60's.❤❤❤

[@sheriebumgarner7065]

I enjoyed too many projects to mention them all, but that wreath you made from things from your yard was so cool! You are the most creative person I have seen on youtube. I won't watch the ones that have gone to DT or DG and gotten a bunch of cheap merchandise and make something that has no class. Yours DO!! Sherry you rock!

[@Southeastgeorgiapeach]

Mondays are always such a pleasure when we get to view all your creativity, Sherry! And you never disappoint! I can’t pick a favorite because I loved them all! You and I think a lot alike. Especially when it comes to sprucing up older figurines. I try to buy things that most folks wouldn’t to keep them from being tossed into a landfill. SUPER ideas and video! Enjoyed it very much.

[@janiceerbstoesser84]

Yes, you definitely rescued that old cork!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Janice! 😊

[@robinsturm7063]

The cat cracked me up when you were making the tree skirt. Too adorable. I had to watch that part again. ☺️

I love all the snowman upcycles although I thought the snowman lamp was going to be an angel.😊

[@phoebeintheforest]

I really like the grapevine wreath decorated with cuttings from the garden because I think I have the skills to do that one!

[@farmhousefrugally]

So hard to choose. The Tinker Toy Tree is darling.

[@angelaspicer2753]

Omgosh! How can I choose a favorite! I think you are especially gifted with the 3D diaramas-esque ones. These are the ones I'm gonna try over the next few YEARS lol. Fireplace screen, mailbox village, tinker toy tree, reindeer plaque, lantern stand, placemats cone tree, children's book cover houses and drawer organizer, figurine nativity, drum, recipe holder, mini frame ornaments, 3D book, 3D snow scene from clock, cardstock botanical frame, yard scraps wreath,whew!😂🎄❤💚

[@marnorth670]

Favorite is the last project. Circle with displayed cut out!!!

[@janeyjanedee2493]

Your brain must always be in overdrive! Your ideas are nothing short of genius. Beautiful work.❤

[@sandicantz2003]

I like how that plastic deer piece came out and the kids' tree. The snowman oil lamp project came out so cute. I also thought that the centerpiece with the glass bulb shades looked awesome when lit.

[@pamelataylor3537]

Sherry, everything you do I love and all these are no exception. You’re so talented and creative. I can’t believe half the things you think of until I see them finished. You can pick up a piece of literal junk that someone has thrown away and you can make it look absolutely stunning. I wish I had just a little of your creativity in my mind like you do. TFS and have a blessed weekend.

Sherry, you make picking a favourite project much too hard! I would have each and every one in my home. Your creative ingenuity knows no bounds. Looking forward to you next video. ❤❤

[@dexiecarter1537]

Could not pick a favorite! I just loved everything! You are so talented, and yes you saved the ugly cork frame. It turned out so pretty❤

[@kypaintster]

I loved the mailbox and the big clock at the end.

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

So many wonderful ideas! Eager to get into my studio to try them! Hint: when you cover the back of a picture frame with paper, spray it lightly with water after you glue it down. The paper will then dry nice and tight, making it look very professional.

[@sybilleulinski1827]

My favorites are the white tin with the little folks climbing up the ladder, the picture frame and last but not least the gorgeous suitcase! I always love your ideas, thank you for sharing!😄
