I wanted to give up...| *EASY* Butterfly Decor!!! | Costume Butterfly Wings | Dollar Tree DIY!

I wanted to give up....I thought my idea was boring and not interesting. I took a break and reminded myself that I can do anything I put my mind to. In the end, this project turned out amazing!
I made EASY Butterfly Decor from the brand new Costume Butterfly Wings that I found at Dollar Tree for today's DIY video! This was so easy and so much fun!
THRIFTED LIVING IS BACK! After taking a break from the Thrifted Living channel name, I have decided to return to this name!

What are you talking about??? You are a very special lady that creates these DIYs that we haven't even thought of doing or attempt to do. We need you, and we need you to keep making these videos and keep giving us ideas. Don't listen to negative comments or entertain negative vibes. We love your videos, diys, and ideas. Thanks for sharing❤ 😊

[@rhondabarnes1702]

Thank you for sharing this project. Great idea for the classroom. I am a retired teacher and I would have used this in my classroom for science. God bless and have a great day. 🙏🙏🙏❤

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@renajackson1654]

I'm so grateful that you did not quit . I like your spirit and you have very creative ideas that I use.

[@donnanichols993]

Look at all the people that watch your channel. And support everything you do. Please reread all the wonderful comments that are there for you. DO NOT give up!!!

[@debbiecollett7417]

please don't be so hard on yourself..... You have had such a hard time, I love your videos and find them inspiring xxx big hugs ❤

[@igeorgoudi]

A gentle reminder: you have lost beloved ones. You don't need to be creative 24/7 . It is ok to take a break when necessary.

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much.

[@DebH-bl8ku]

Cute idea. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I think everyone who is creative goes through times when we think we aren’t creative or our work isn’t good enough. I am guessing that your students think your class is lots of fun. Just from listening to you, it sounds as if you make learning fun. Thank you for helping kids learn to like learning.

[@renajackson1654]

i am also glad that you talked yourself through the negativity . You are appreciated for what you do by myself. and I'm sure many, many others.

[@lolarose4673]

Your creativity feeds my own keep bringing them to us. And this was a very lovely idea! We All support you we are your cyber family Hang in there you are very much appreciated ❤

[@crafterdeidra]

That turned out super cute. A picture of your mom would look beautiful with one of them. Great diys as always!

[@gemsdivine]

SUPER FUN & ADORABLE! Good for you to change it up today....it is your channel and we know you show us lots that "we" want to see...but you should enjoy & have fun with it also! Go for it!

[@heatherroberson8981]

Your DIYs are so creative! Absolutely not boring!

[@leeannroberts9834]

A mirror with the butterfly wings in a little girls room would be cute. That's a very good picture of you. Thanks for sharing.🥰

[@carolynneohara7948]

Those are cute. I think they would be great in a craft room to display a picture or to use as a memorial of a picture of a loved one that passed

[@lakbaydiva]

I love simple DIYs like this! It doesn't take a ton of materials and $. You're right. This could be used for so many things. Would be great for parties!

[@debbiev.1311]

So glad you persevered...this is an adorable idea!! 🩷📗🦋📙💜 Your senior pic is beautiful!! ❤️🤗

[@kevinhoward7237]

These would be great for kids fairy/princess birthday parties to put little signs up as information for guests. You have nearly 100 thousand subs each and every one of them likes your channel and the content you share, keep going from Emily

[@jdjllih]

Please don't quit! I love watching you and you have amazing ideas and have helped me figure out my craft room.

[@yolondagoode9656]

The picture of you is PERFECT !

[@Bonnie-ww7mr]

I am so glad you decided not to give up...that would be a total drag ~ take care, thanxoxoxome, Bon 🦸🥂🤸🌲🧚🧞🧜. Why not turn them around using them as outdoor decorations... weighed down using the easel part if needed.... bye for now 🧚

[@heiditate6989]

Oh never give up! I enjoy your channel and your creativity. The things you make are cute and practical. I love butterflies and that is a cute idea.

[@angietarpley1983]

Beautiful!!! So sorry for your loss. Please keep doing your wonderful crafts. Love and Prayers,

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

This is a beautiful idea. If you need to you could always put a matching ribbon on around the elastic. A vase of flowers would look good to. Great for a baby shower, so many things. Loved how your dog was concerned about you, they can always feel it. Try not to doubt yourself. We love seeing what creations you think off.🤗🇬🇧

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@margaretrose8105]

That is a great idea with the wings...especially with a picture...thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@Toni-mp3fn]

Butterflies are angels from heaven letting us know our loved ones whether person or animal is watching over us,in my heart I feel your beloved Finn gave you this idea so you will know he is ok and not in pain anymore My mom loved butterflies so providing I can find these at my store I'll be making for her resting place,I mainly work with tower blocks and am searching so hard to find one made out if them so I can put it into concrete to make as her marker My love and prayers are with you never forget all the beautiful memories ❤

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and for your kind words!

[@Toni-mp3fn]

@@ThriftedLiving you are very welcome you ever need to talk I'll be here

[@dsplefty]

What a cute idea to display pictures are a little girls photos at a the kids party! Or a garden party

[@robinellis9957]

This is such a cute and creative idea! I love it! Oh this could maybe help with the glitter…spray it with hair spray and let that dry. It helps keep the glitter from falling off and going everywhere. You have been through a lot and our minds can be very mean to us at times. Please know that we find you very creative and your ideas are unique and great!

[@SharaLee60]

Please dont give up! You are artistic, so please keep doing your videos. You show us how you feel & what's going on. I like it when you show us how you're feeling & if you make mistakes, that's ok. You usually figure it out even if your idea didn't work the first time! Thanks for sharing & I hope you feel better about yourself! You are a true teacher. Keep it up! Oh, your high School pic is very pretty! ♥️☺️🫂🦉🍄🐾🦩🧵🤿🧶🧩🖼🎨🌷🌹✨️❤

[@janewhite1491]

Wow! What a great idea! I could also see this as a memorial piece for a loved one or a pet that has passed away. Meaning they have gained their angel wings 🩷 You are unbelievably creative! Don't ever change! Have a great day!

[@apricotdeez]

I had the exact same idea of the angel wings! And just a side note: I LOVE PIP

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@ThriftedLiving]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@MommyLamaCat423]

You are so creative your diys are your own original ❤ I love this and all your diys thank you for not quiting you are amazing.

[@MamaVee74]

This is so cute and easy to make! This would be adorable for a little girl's birthday party! Don't feel down on yourself. God has a plan for you! Thanks for sharing this!😊

[@kathbaxter9487]

Great idea. Loved the blue wings. To stop the glitter from getting everywhere spray with hairspray

[@chefmarianrene5251]

Totally awesome idea..continue to encourage and appreciate the gift you are to urself and everyone blessed to know you👑🤗

[@lynnwymer6201]

Oh my gosh I love the blue one and you did good at it so keep up the good work God bless you

[@nilasink3270]

Great idea! Remember: tough times dont last, tough people do! Hug Pip, such a cutie. Animals are very perceptive. Mine get extra cuddly when I don't feel good.

[@user-eb3jd6xr3m]

I get that feeling sometimes, but know to just keep going! I love your ideas and crafts!

[@driftscene8239]

So glad you didn’t listen to the negative thoughts. I love this. It is very nice. I love the idea of

[@MS-cl5lz]

Now thats an ADORABLE idea !

[@tammyenfinger8814]

I am so glad you decided to share .This is really my favorite DIY you have done.I have a picture of my nieces that this is perfect for.You are always in my prayers.❤️🙏

[@ellen-marie6692]

These are adorable and 💯 % creative - aka, You, sweet lady, are creative! I have watched some of your other videos & said to myself even before this video that you are so creative! I truly admire how you can see these items differently, run with your ideas & share the process as you try it out. I would likely use for a photo display & really love as others have share to display a photo in memory of someone. I believe your Crafting Buddy was definitely sensing your grief but I also believe she wanted to reassure you that she believes you’re creative, too!!

[@lolarose4673]

I would use this for a outside summer get together using custom name cards and floral photos❤

[@yolondagoode9656]

❤❤❤❤❤ you hv such a sweet spirit dear,do not give up! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@colettechiarello7453]

Loved your idea. I can definitely relate to how you were feeling. I think we all have moments of self doubt and criticism. That’s normal. Just know that you are doing a great job and being brave putting yourself out there and helping others with mental health issues. That means a lot. I really enjoy your videos even if I don’t always make your DIYs. You are kind, caring and friendly and just a great person. Thank you for all your hard work. I’m a French elementary school secretary in Canada and I see everyday how hard you teachers work. You are an awesome person and I’m sure a fantastic teacher! ❤

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for working with children! It is an exhausting job but so worth it!

[@Trina_I]

That looks great I am going to make one for my Grand Daughters room. She is going to be 2🎉

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thanks! I hope she loves it! If you make this, feel free to share a picture with me that I can feature in an upcoming video!

[@kathleengill1273]

I think this is an adorable project! I love your picture and the spider book too! You are very creative. Trying to think of things to make isn't easy and you always come through for us. This is one I'll be doing...so pretty!🦋

[@kimmorin7847]

Oh Kieran! Never underestimate your talent ! You are constantly coming up with these ideas ! An idea would be is to put your fave pic of your mom, framed, in there! The significance of butterflies and our loved ones who have passed on, is perfect for that!!

[@kimmorin7847]

You could put a 2nd one beside it with the book "Love you Forever" by Robert Munsch

[@angelam.1520]

Oh my goodness, this is sooo cute. Obviously, I'm going to do this for my daughter's bookshelf but, I'm also thinking about how I can incorporate this into my office. I love butterflies. They remind me of my GG. She passed away a few years ago, but she loved butterflies. I understand how you feel and I just want to encourage you to go at your own pace and be kind to yourself. I literally binge watch your channel, at least once a month, because you are very inspiring ❤

[@YvonneG]

I thought that this was a lovely idea, I loved when you said could use for menus. i am going to be having a movie day with my best friend and this would be cut with what movie we will watching on one, and then what snacks will be having on one and maybe one for drinks. so many idea, thank you for not giving up.

[@supersparkley123]

At a graduation I just attended tonight, the valedictorian’s message to his classmates was to “Never Give Up”…..so the timing of this video was perfect…..Don’t ever give up! I know that’s easier said than done sometimes, as I’ve wanted to give several times in the past few years, but then somehow I manage to get enough strength to work through it! ❤🙏🏻 You’ve been through a lot lately, I will keep you in my prayers!

[@Toni-mp3fn]

And by the way your senior picture is beautiful❤

[@mariangelyrodriguezserrano1769]

Dont giveup i enjoy watching your videos thanks 4 the idea

[@lisaslittlecritters]

I always enjoy your videos, I think of you as a friend, and I feel like you always do interesting projects.

[@teenawilkin8987]

I love your ideas! You are so very creative. I wish I had had a teacher like you! 🦋

[@deniselubken7132]

I don’t know how you come up with these creative things! You put out beautiful and creative crafts. If you need some time just know those of us who love you will wait til you feel better. You need to take care of you. I love how Pip is trying to help, she’s so sweet! This is so stinkin cute! I love it. Your picture is so beautiful, the same as you are now! Hugs. I’m going to display it in my craft room and put my junk journal on it. Thanks for the inspiration

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you is much for these kind words.

[@pamelakaliher5716]

Super cute idea!! Hugs to you - you are very creative - don't let the negative train derail you

You are grieving your loss please continue with your beautiful crafts. Take care of yourself keep going forward👍❤️

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@thekraftykorner4189]

Would be cute birthday party etc decor too!! You could do books of the week or something, when I was in school we had AR reading we had to do and had to find the AR labels on the spines in the school library or you could use it to display new books in the classroom

[@jacquelineteague3545]

So awesome your picture is beautiful

[@samyra1130]

Such a beautiful idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@carolynramirez316]

Love this. You always have such awesome ideas. I want to do this with a photo of my 4year old. ❤️

[@yolondagoode9656]

I will use it for a birthday party I planning, to display pictures use to decorate tables with pictures

[@yolondagoode9656]

I love it!!!!!!!

[@rachelburgener819]

Wow this was was on my feed😳 👏👏👏I absolutely love’s this project and butterflies🥰. When I saw the title and the 2 pcs, my brain went in a different direction😝: Attaching the wings on the front of the easel and then attaching photos to the wings🙄. God made us with a brain to use; in your execution of this project AND the comments it looks like we’re all doing that! Good also gave us pets and it is so hard to lose them, keep strong and you will survive😉. 🥰✝️🙏🏻❤️😀

[@NicoleNorthgarden]

So cute! And very creative!

[@cindys7175]

My granddaughter will love her picture in the butterfly frame. You are amazing please remember you gave Finn a loving and safe home. It will take sometime but you will start feeling better.

[@niseyjones598]

U can use hair spray to help hold the glitter on the wings . Them r so pretty for pic's keep up the good work and don't feel bad I'm the same way.

[@brittanywilcox9515]

I love this! I love your videos. I love you diy!

[@onegrlindawrld6297]

Use hairspray on glittered items it helps hold it to the surface .

I hadn't met one person yet that had done crafts or do organizing diy. that hadn't struggled or it didn't go as planned.

[@carmencarrillo2157]

Your to hard on yourself I really like your DIY ideas can’t wait for the next project 😊

[@renajackson1654]

you should be proud of your picture.

[@belindaking2953]

Beautiful idea! I recently lost my Mother In Law & would be great with her picture for memorial ❤. What section of Dollar Tree did you find the butterflies in?

[@brendasidmore2731]

I also forget how I am attaching something to a diy as I am doing a second one. I sometimes think I might have ADD.

[@yvonnepatten1640]

Or it could be a candle holder

[@yvonnepatten1640]

don't listen to that devil on your shoulder trying to get you to quit what you love doing.
