Halloween Scrap Wood DIYS that Sell Like Crazy / Trash to Cash

[@rozelleashmore4385]

I love that you are saving our planet by using wood that might be tossed and using older clothes to make ribbon. Not only are you helping the planet, but you are helping to keep products at a lower price to preserve the strength of the dollar. To top it all off you are generating work based in america rather than over seas! Can I give you a round of aplause!!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos and that is my mission to use as less new as possible

I just had to follow along with you and start making these easy shelf sitters! I got 10 blocks painted black and can't wait to start finishing them tomorrow. I love how you give such good instructions for making your projects. Thanks for putting so much effort and time into making one of the best channels!

I found some old newspapers from the 1940s and decoupaged (ripping the corners around all four sides) that onto a scrap wood pumpkin and then layered on some rub on transfers. I really love the look

Hi! So one day I searched 'crafting' and your videos came up. Your ideas are so accessible for a beginner like me! I have already made 2 shelf sitters for Christmas using the chalk paint, sanding after wax, and laser printer transfer techniques. I showed them to my friend and she couldn't believe I had made them myself! So thank you for sharing your talent and ideas, I'm totally hooked!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

These all turned out so cute 🥰. I love crafting on free wood blocks too. I found the cutest Peanuts/ snoopy & the gang Halloween napkins and did the same thing and they turned out so cute. I really love adding the stick 😍 😉 gives it a great finished look. Thanks for the tips and sharing your adorable shelf sitter's 😁.

Love the shelf sitters! I really like the crackle technique & it shows great with the black & orange. I purchased the paint recipes & have them in a book. I put each one in a page protector first due to me being a messy crafter! 🙄Now.....to get your "techniques" added! I refer back to the techniques quite often. Love all your videos. See you next time. God bless you. 🥰

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much for your support and that recipe booklet is perfect and putting them in a page protector is great because if you’re crafter like me everything is a mess and at least you won’t get paint on your paper

[@CLMaxey67]

[@justme-on7bn]

I’m curious, is it the outline of the mod podge that is still left on the object after you’ve rubbed off the paper, or is it some of the paper? Whenever I do the reverse transfer method , I always have this odd outline that shows. Doesn’t matter if I am doing it over light colors or dark. Is there a way to avoid that?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

If you’re seeing a very prominent line you’ve probably used too much mod podge mod podge is thick so if you’re putting it on that way it will definitely show a line you don’t need very much to do this transfer technique if you do see a little bit of a line you can always blended in with your background colour hope that helps

[@TheodoraBrass]

I think the trick is to make sure that it is a matte finish Mod-Podge. Glossy would definitely leave a noticeable line.

[@beejisback8162]

Oh I just adore the scrap wood with the napkins on them! I’m going to give that a definite go. There’s so much scrap wood here at my house between my son and my husband.
