DIY with Free Junk and Techniques you don't want to miss!

[@darleneiglehart6605]

I love decorating cans. I will never forget the first time I did them. A friend and I were doing a high end craft show. I am a painter and had run out of simple wood items. This was at least thirty years or more ago. I started painting some cans just to pass the time and use up nervous energy. I painted them solid colors and then free handed snowmen and Christmas trees and other simple things. We were setting up our booth and I brought them out and started setting them around, My friend looked at me like I was crazy and said you can not sell tin cans in this show...no way. I just looked at her and told her I paid my half of this booth and I was putting in my cans. She rolled her eyes and laughed. I went home after we set up to come back later. She called me about 2 hours after the show started and told me people were begging for cans. We still laugh about it! I miss doing shows.

Watching you helps me feel better about collecting junk and stuff. Thank you!

Hahaha, I feel the same when people tell me they save junk! Thank you for the comment.

[@mist4926]

Wow your imagination with that santa in the honeycomb box. Wow love it

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Thanks so much 😊, you made my day!!!

[@melodymedlock160]

This is my first time to your channel. I really enjoyed the projects you created today. I caught on to the emphasis you put on the fact you were using materials that everyone has access to. I really enjoy projects like that. I find them more inspiring and much more creative. I am not knocking more expensive craft materials. I find those very beautiful as well. However, in my opinion anyone can take an item give it a good paint job, use anything from IOD (or similar), wax it or use rub n buff and make just about anything beautiful. Those videos may inspire me to add even more IOD products to my wish list but that's about the end of it to be honest. I've stopped watching channels I had been loyal to for years because it felt like everyone was doing the same things and nothing new or truly inspiring. I even quit KZbin all together for a while for the same reason. I used to watch faithfully any time I had spare time. I'm looking forward to watching more from you. 🤞 I am hoping you didn't put an emphasis on using resources available to everyone because you don't usually make videos like this one. I truly enjoyed this video and found it inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

[@lynettehansen2203]

Just came across your channel and I already appreciate you for not wasting supplies like so many people do. Drives me crazy when people make a bow and then cut off 8’ from the tails or cut in the middle of a sheet of paper.

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Thank you for watching and the comment and yes I try not to waste supplies. "Supply hoarder here"!

[@victoriafielding2478]

I love the way you show how paint can be used instead of rub and buff. There are so many expensive craft items out there when the basics supplies could do the same job. Also, I am an upcycle fan too, so loved all of it.

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Thank you so much!!

[@A.Alverio]

They are all adorable 😍🥰🥰 keep on crafting I took used cans and jars for creating some vases etc ... You already have them so why waste happy 😁 holidays.

Your Christmas tree jar is very cute! You may not like it as much because the ribbon looks like it is 4th of July. But adorable!

[@CozyJunkStudio]

I agree, I think that bow was overwhelming and just off. I didn't think about it until you pointed it out. That is what I love about a creative community we all have different perspective. Thank you for the comment and watching.

[@hollybean790]

@@CozyJunkStudioit is cute as it is, but I wonder if a subtle outline of the tree would look good?

[@dianastrauss2847]

Don't worry about the time.... It's nice of you to talk us thru your projects.

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Thank you that is very sweet!

[@michelegrigg4952]

I loved every one of these! I wasn't too sure about the cardboard Santa ornament when you started, but by about half way through, you had me. As you added each piece, it really came to life. Wow!

[@CozyJunkStudio]

Thank you so very much. I felt the same way when making it....I never know what the end will look like until it gets there!

I like collecting little things and bigger junk things to reuse. I’ve collected tea envelopes - tea bags are packaged in them - to use to make room dividers, like the beaded ones from the sixties. Those are just one type of thing I collect. I’ve punched holes in cans to use as luminaries. I filled the cans with water and put them in the freezer. When the water is frozen I used a hammer and nail to punch the holes. I found the how-to on Pinterest, I think.
