DIY THRIFT FLIPS under $30 // Come thrift with me in TEXAS | XO, MaCenna

[@heymudda1]

Wow, a guy who will travel to meet the family, crawl though 9 thrift stores, film your makeovers and no doubt hauls all your found treasures for you, is definitely a KEEPER! Oh, and the pooch is ADORABLE too!

[@XOMaCenna]

Definitely a keeper! 🤗 we’ve been together for almost 11 years 🥰

[@kajlove1]

You said a mouthful! Definitely keep him, he's a dream!

[@ironfang2]

XO, MaCenna Wow! 11 years is a long time. Proud of you and your ethics because it takes a lot of give and take in any relationship. You look too young to have been in a relationship that long. How old are you?

[@endlesummer_]

Jamie Montgomery that’s what i wanna know too 👀 lol

[@Talajuno]

@@ironfang2 she’s 33 yrs old 😆

[@catalinaplaza7909]

Instead of a candle you can add a tiny plant!

[@XOMaCenna]

Yes!!! Love that idea!!!! 🌱

[@deniselynne1966]

Yessss!! A succulent would be beautiful

[@_.Lleiyo._]

both ideas are really cool! 🕯🌱 i would love this as a mirror or a chic and fancy storage box, too... this thing is so pretty, i need to find something similar... 😍👍

[@shellykp33]

I would just burn some cone incense since that little bowl was made to be an incense burner.

[@ModupeOloruntoba]

Could also hang from ceiling in open space, away from the wall (will have to hide or decorate the tassel knot)

[@leilanajuarez9878]

OMG I'm in love with that basket lamp! That's super easy to make! WOW. Just...wow. The traveling jewelry case is genius. Good for anybody on the go or girls who don't have a ton of space but have really good pieces you don't want to just have thrown in your jewelry box.

[@lauriehuber3040]

The silverplate ‘trays’ were holders for glass casserole dishes back when fancy serving was more common.

[@XOMaCenna]

Oooooo so cool!!

[@linadams1965]

Laurie Huber I was about to say this. My grandma has tons of them and we used them for Christmas because she kept them all so nice.

[@kwixmonster1762]

I was about to say that too. My mom has lots of those. We would use them when we have dinner parties at home.

[@_.Lleiyo._]

they're soo beautiful!!

[@dawnmargeson1543]

Part of a chafing dish.

[@nani1940]

You honestly have the most creative diys!

[@XOMaCenna]

Omg thank you so much!! 🥰

[@businessjourney9491]

Right lol 😍 omg i cant wait to try this.

[@iraleebarnett4760]

Her creativity is amazing! She’s so good!

[@tambij]

I HAVE A AWESOME TIP 😁. I purchased a round turn table, I use it to paint all my projects. Instead of touching whatever I’m painting, I can just spin the turn table and keep spraying paint, or brushing. It’s so helpful. Bought mine at yard sale for $2.00

[@kenziegarza4508]

I’m obsessed with the pendant light! Such a great idea for nesting baskets.

[@XOMaCenna]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@nikolelinares]

Ok, so I HAD to stop the video right after the pendant light because OMG 😮 TELL ME you are on Home Depot's payroll with all these lighting fixtures you create BY YOURSELF!! 😮 OMG so inspirational ❤ I really need to start trying out these DIYs for myself lol But seriously MaCenna, your creativity is unmatched, good job 💙

[@XOMaCenna]

Hahaha omg thank you so much!! I wish lol you’re so sweet! 😘

[@MrsRodriguez92]

You my friend are a breathe of fresh air. You can tell that you genuinely love doing this. I love you watching your videos. ♥️ please never ever stop.

[@XOMaCenna]

Aww thank you so much!!! That means a lot to me 🥰

[@michaela_fk]

I could watch your thrift flips forever. So good!

[@theuniquebean]

GIRL!!!! That lamp! I love a great pendant light and you could even add so many different touches to change it up from time to time. Genius idea to use the baskets. You've inspired me yet again. Thanks!❤️

[@XOMaCenna]

Totally!!!! Thank you so much 🥰

[@DJMeCa]

You’re a DIY’er that’s so easy to listen to...you make your projects seem approachable. Great job on this and all of the others of your’s I’ve watched!

[@sophiehenderson8598]

When you said what you were going to make with the tray I though “nah that sounds naff” I was wrong! It was So cute as a candle holder!

[@XOMaCenna]

Awww hahah!!! Thank you 🥰

[@akiwiincanada]

I loved this!. Next time I'm thrifting I'm SO going to be looking for one of those holders!

[@lenhar2211]

The creativity level here is immense! Omg that pendant light!

[@angelavis5546]

Her face when she turned on the light... adorbs!!

[@fthurman]

oh wow, that tiered basket light is serious goals! I've never seen a DIY one done that truly looked that high end!

[@caroledwards1182]

Loved all 3 DIY's!! One suggestion for the jewelry holder: Glue a piece of lightweight fabric, the same size as the planner, to the inside across the top of the earring side. You can then bring it down to cover the earrings so the necklaces and the earrings don't get tangled together.

[@jrbritt21]

I wasnt so sure about the hanging candle holder at first, but as soon as you hung it on the wall I fell in love. What a cool idea!!

[@katymaloney]

She's done it again! I love your mind. You make the prettiest stuff.

[@syche4803]

I love your videos so much, especially right now. I've been very sick with complications after finally getting through covid and have been stuck in my home for nearly a month now. I LOVE diy'ing and thrifting, so I've just been itching to get out of this house. Watching your videos is great for ideas, of course, but also I feel like I've gotten to go out so thank you so much!!

[@tina_marie12]

You are the queen of thrift repurposing/DIY 🙌🏻 these projects are so cool and look sooooo good!! I am so motivated to try to repurpose something now!! Can’t wait for your next video!!!!!!!!!

[@XOMaCenna]

Omg thank you 🥰🥰 that means so much to me 😘

[@annalauryn966]

I really love the jewelry case! U could even use it in the home for small spaces or minimalist design

[@bethanygibson9795]

The candle holder would also look fantastic as an ivy holder too for small apartments. Might give it a try!

[@susanwindley9165]

I just loved all of these. I was surprised I liked the chafing dish sconce, but it turned out so nice! The tarnish totally works as a design element this way, especially with the antiqued candle cup inside and the beads pulled the whole thing together. I adore that basket pendant lamp and I think it turned out great!

[@gabl3400]

WOAH the silver tray flip is literally the coolest, most creative thing I have ever seen. You should make that your thing for your pop up shop. Buy several and make them to sell

[@flowersafeheart]

So good! Lamp is brilliant. I kinda wanted a round mirror behind the candle holder and a strap to keep jewelry case closed, but they're also great as is and so clever.

[@missmacygirl]

Just found your channel but absolutely loving the things you come up with! I’ve seen a lot of youtubers do the same DIYS over and over. You’re so original! Also love that you try not to sew if possible. It’s such a hassle and not everyone knows how.

[@IHavent82Day]

The light!!! Too freaking pretty; you are so creative!!

[@raintonn7658]

That basket light came out SO GOOD! Also, I love the fire safety 👍 so cool!

[@FromEricaWithLove]

Love your creativity! The thrift flip videos you do are my absolute favs

[@XOMaCenna]

Thanks so much!!! 🥰

[@plantitude9660]

I love that light! I'm going to keep an eye out, but that's an unusual find. You definitely have an eye for possibilities

[@XOMaCenna]

Aww thanks so much!! 🥰 maybe a set of 3 baskets in a different shape too 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@rawrxitsxrachael]

I really wasn't feeling it when I saw the bright white tassel on that tray but then you added the beads and suddenly it looked so perfect together?? I love all of these they're so creative and they all came out looking amazing!

[@angeleshaz3347]

I really really really loved today's video. I don't know which one of the three projects liked the most. The pendant is amazing, but the candle chandelier with the tassel is really gorgeous, honestly!. And I loved that you informed us of the total amount spent on each... Congrats for a great video!

[@XOMaCenna]

Thanks so much!! 🥰

[@m.service5584]

Wow, McKenna...ANOTHER GORGEOUS HANGING LIGHT! I LOVE IT! The round tray thing with handles turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Great design! Hanging it against brick/stone was a good idea. Love the yarn & bead tassel! Excellent addition to it! BTW, those tray things are made to hold casserole dishes. It eliminates the need for a trivet or pot holder under the dish, helps hold it still while serving, is much easier to carry a hot dish from counter to table, PLUS it just LOOKS FANCIER! 😃 Great job on THAT flip, too! (I hope you got those slide carousel trays to teach your friends how to make lamps!) The jewelry holder turned out very nicely!!

[@XOMaCenna]

Ahhhh casserole holders!!! So cool! Thanks so much 🥰 you’re so sweet!

[@m.service5584]

@@XOMaCenna You are very welcome. Glad I could solve the mystery!

[@TheHeroSaver]

That candle holder would be perfect for that pretty/fancy/expensive candle you never want to burn but have on display!

[@kajlove1]

That pendant light is amazing, that would work with basket that don't match as well. I've made a couple from wire baskets I've found at Walmart on clearance, so fun! I knew immediately what you were going to do when you placed that dish inside the chaffing dish, Great idea for a candle holder and the tassel, wonderful! So pretty! Wow you did the most with that planner/jewelry holder, nice!

[@sarahgh9495]

I keep getting amazed by your diys. I always think "ok, there's no way MaCenna can make something as cool next time", but you always do! Haha. Great thrift flips. So creative!

[@XOMaCenna]

Haha thanks so much 🥰

[@skwerwl]

You never cease to amaze me with your thrift flips! Love these!

[@MommaFromScratch]

[@VsLeo1]

Ok, I’m new to your channel and I’ve literally been “binge watching” every video. I usually get annoyed at young you tubers 😂 for various reasons! - but there’s something so soothing and inspiring about you and your videos are all so good!!! Loving it so much. ❤️

[@Kamila-lv6uk]

Fantastic ideas! All of them. Honestly. You're so creative 💪💪💪

[@kajnadams]

The circle thing is so cool! You could put an air plant in there too if you are worried about a candle!

Love your creativity and the way you explain everything so eloquently!

[@XOMaCenna]

Wow thanks so much !! 🥰

[@aubreye3564]

Just found your channel and I 💕 it! I’m going thrifting tomorrow and I will never pass by the little item anymore after watching your DIY’s Also-The jewelry box you made with the missing mirror and crystal added to the top...my nieces want to go thrifting and make them. You have the best ideas!

[@jaymehamilton4580]

ABSOLUTE!!! GENIUS with the silver candle round. I am so on the look out now. tyfs

[@deepeters7053]

Wow, I really loved all of those projects. The pendant lamp definitely gave me some inspiration. You are so imaginative and creative. I look forward to every video you make!!!

[@The-Ancestral-Cucina]

Ok, so seriously...that light is ahhhhhmazing!!!!!!!!!! The jewelry case is sweet! And the candle ring....I’d love to use one of these silver dish holders as a frame for a pocket mirror. Thanks for the great video and tips😍🥰😘

[@XOMaCenna]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@EileenQxz]

The 3-tiered rattan basket light would also be lovely with attached jewels or beads dangling from the bottom edge, or all three tiers.

[@Jimmmiee]

That pendant light is so bomb! It turned out so good!!!! Something like that would probably be well over $100 in store! Wonderful job! 🙌🏻

[@DJoy222]

*Love, Love, LOVE* your light basket thrift flip! The candle "sconce" flip (with the decorative steel casserole dish holder) is cool, it would also make a really awesome base (meaning start for the top) for a hanging light pendant as well, maybe with some hanging crystals?! 💗❤💗

@@DJoy222 Have you tried the Salvation Army? They usually have a great selection of baskets and wood items. 😰 The glass is ridiculous😉

[@DJoy222]

@@londonthompson9730 I need to research if there are any close to where we live now in NC. All that I've seen near me (or found online) are GFCs and they are not the greatest. One small wall of home goods in the back (and the selection is poor) and the clothing is by color and not type so you can't find anything easily, no textiles nicely displayed, only piled up in pallets that make you icky to think of going through etc. 😬

The metal tray-like things you found are to hold glass Pyrex baking dishes. They are used for placing the hot dish on the table so it’s raised off of the surface for serving

Wasn’t excited about the jewelry holder until I saw it done and it’s actually an awesome idea!!! Also I think an extra flap of leather between the two sides to keep items from catching might also be useful.

[@CatherineSTodd]

0:44: the silver plated pieces you are holding aren't "trays with no bottoms..." they are silver plated serving pieces that would have held a glass pyrex baking dish or glass pie pan or casserole dish. We used them all the time when I was growing up! (I was born in 1950). They were considered a real "touch of elegance" for the dining table, along with our best silverware. Great to see you finding another use for them!
