Let’s thrift & spray paint my entire closet (not really but maybe?) 🌈 thrift flip custom DIY

[@KathleenIllustrated]

i only share my gum with my besties so...😳✨

[@bethknapp4935]

❤❤❤

[@HBCrigs]

That feels so intimate thank you

[@carolyn6689]

Very nice video ☺️👍🏻 I also do Thrift DIYs or existing items at home sometimes.Right now I'm working on spray painting with Fabric spray paint and adding acrylic paint splatters on my phone cases that were just sitting around . I have one case left to paint which I'm going to try to give it a copper look with a patina and age it some .🤳🎨🖌️✌🏻

[@dottieland7061]

Love it lol

[@wlammy4ever]

😮 (im not shocked, this is me going aaaaah to receive said gum)

[@crazygossipgurl101]

I love that you are highlighting your significant other’s interests! Pro tip: no matter what the little voice says DO NOT spray paint clothing while you are wearing it. This tip is brought to you courtesy of my father who in the 80s spray painted tiger stripes on a jumpsuit and himself 😂 also, I got the suva makeup grunge palette and it has made me 20% more of a terror

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ha! note taken. also, i'll probably wear gloves next time unless i want to ruin my manicure again :'o) (& YAY!!!!! so glad you're loving it. Those colors are PERFECT for poisonous dark frog vibessss)

[@kaytiej8311]

Kathleen, you’re a wonderful example of how to embrace the unique perfect imperfection of being just oneself.

[@kelzbelz313]

That deer with her sassy little leg out like she’s an American Apparel sock model. I love her.

[@kslaney4161]

Maybe a home decor thrift flip? A shoe flip? A jewelry flip? The possibilities are endless with the Ms. Frizzle of thrift flips!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe!!!!! Alternate universe Ms. Frizzle that's an art aunt instead of a science buff!!!! I love this

[@jkutuz]

"you can just try stuff" is the best advice ever. I really like your thrift-flips!! I would also love to see more styling videos, if possible (?), like maybe styling some thrifted pieces you already have but don't wear as much -> in new more exciting ways? ❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ahh yes i think more "shopping my closet" styling videos is a great idea! thanks yulia!

[@xAlbinopiratex]

I got so surprised when you showed the spray paint in the store, because where I live they're kept in Spray Paint jails and a member of staff has to unlock them and get them out for you 😂 You also have to be over 18 to buy them!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I'm seeing a lot of comments like this!!! I guess it's not a state law here in Ohio - lucky me 😆 Thanks for watchin, pirate friend!

[@yaya_papayas]

New Kathleen videos have me running to the thrift store like Homer Simpson driving to get a free trampoline

[@KathleenIllustrated]

haha insert Homer "WOOHOO!" here!!!! hope you find some TREASURE!

[@angelinanichols4282]

Kathleen always bringing the good vibes for Sunday! I'd love to see you try botanical dyeing.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

love this idea!!! have a great week my friend

[@nerveendings]

This could be coupled with cyanotype printing of botanical things for a very cool outfit/video!

[@kptnsprotte7026]

I have literally two obsessions in my life: Thrifting and rollerskating. So it was a bit magical when these two obbsessions surprisingly met today. Kathleen, thank you so much for your wholesome videos, that are always taking me on a journey and into a happy place for a while :)

[@CarlyGarzaArt]

The fact that this video included bonus skate footy!? Iconic

[@fieldvole]

My mother who is 68 doesn't have a KZbin account but wants you to know that she enjoys your films very much. She sends her best wishes from the English countryside.

[@michellemarques3238]

Stained glass is a big ole commitment, but another offshoot that requires a bit less of an investment but gives the same effect is glass mosaic. Thrift a glass spherical type of container, like a candle holder, then use smoll pieces of glass, glue it onto the candle holder with spaces between the glass bits, then grout it. I used to do this and it is glorious. (also wear gloves and eye protection, gurl. glass splinters in eyes is not a cool look.)

[@Kaeteification]

Not me finding out that dredge is out from a random aside in your video :O Good Lord, Kathleen, you sweet angel of thrifting and indie fishing horror games!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Haha! I was like “is anyone even going to know what I’m talking about?” And the answer was YES! 💕🤜🏼🤛🏼 go catch some cursed critters!!!

[@Kaeteification]

@@KathleenIllustrated Eeeeeeeee!!!! XD

[@bunnycartoon]

Your design came out looking SO cool! Something I discovered a year or two ago was that some companies have actually started making spray paint for fabric....I've always wanted to try it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Might be worth looking into!

[@themancipium]

Yess for airbrush journey! Also, awesome moves Gus!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

muahaha the possibilities are ENDLESS (& beautifully smooth & colorful!!!!) I'll let him know you said so :)

[@nerveendings]

Your videos are such a comfort watch for me, so glad that I found your channel! Feels like DIYing with my bestie

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw thanks so much for being here! also love your milhouse pfp

[@KatherineYoung]

I would love to see you thrift flip a painting. Maybe get that gallery wall going? I feel like people do the same ideas every time when they upcycle thrift store art and I believe you would flip it on it’s head! 🤡🙃

[@dango_rat]

ohh that sounds cool!

[@hershelroswell]

thanks to your videos ive finally got off my ass about fixing/tweaking my clothes to work for me better (e.g. sewing belt loops onto a skirt, putting paint splatters on a woodstain-spattered t-shirt so it looks deliberate and fun), and have gone for dedicated charity shop/thrifting trips for the first time in years. your enthusiasm and energy is really infectious and i love your sense of style so much :]

[@misosaltee]

My cat Busterreally liked this one, especially the bit about the claspspspsps

[@graceelizabeth130]

CONGRATS ON 20K KATHLEEN 🥰🥰

[@KathleenIllustrated]

THANK YOU GRACE!!! You a real one 🥹🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@TheNewYear75]

i personally think this is one of your best videos, if not the best so far. really good pacing, backing tracks, footage, personality.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thanks so much em! Really glad you enjoyed it 💕

[@EmBean96]

The comment shout-out made me bluuuuuush 😍 thanks for being amazing, Kathleen!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw emma!!! you're the best, thank YOU!

[@RhymingMime]

Agree w the pbs comment, my first impressions of you were peewee's playhouse and zoom!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I wanted to be on Zoom so badly as a kid!!! 🥹✨💕

[@bethknapp4935]

I love this so much. I really like the color choices!! My little artistic goblin self is very inspired! Right now, we have 2 projects going and a 3rd in the works. I just started doing Resin, and I am soooo excited to do more. Also doing an embroidery project for a friend. I had so much fun on our adventures today!!! Thanks for the gum, it was needed! ❤❤

[@czbaterka]

Please try solar fast dyes for thrift flip!! They are so amazing 😊

[@WaysideArtist]

Feeling such a happy buzz after one of your films. This old brain loves a dose of Color by Kathleen. 🌈💐💫

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe NaD you're the best. Thank you!!! 🌈 🌈 🌈

[@candyflossedit]

That fruit set is so cute 😍

[@KathleenIllustrated]

right?! ahh i wanna wear it today!! thanks for watching, my friend :)

[@reyfierce7567]

I love Louie Zong! That song has been played on repeat many a times by muah.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

one of my faves as well!

[@zaragarza3714]

5:55 Dredge is SUCH a cool game! I need to finish playing the dlc too

[@skellexis404]

I just got into airbrushing! kinda expensive to start but once you have everything it’s so cool and can be used for so many things!

[@mysizemagpie]

The irony of the end speech is that you ARE perfect

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Mags you can't just come into my comments and make me cry!!!!

[@jeanlinder1310]

That turned out pretty cool! I could see that making some neat 80s style jeans and a matching jacket. Fun clips of Gus!

[@trutenii]

oh my god that flower set is to die for!! the thrift gods have truly blessed you 🎉

[@KathleenIllustrated]

right?! such a lucky gal am I!!!!!! thanks for watching :)

[@gabidoescosplaystuff]

So one cool thing you should try with spray paint is cutting a stencil from freezer paper. I haven't gotten through the video yet but I wanted to chime in while I could still remember lol

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thank you gabi!!!

[@gabidoescosplaystuff]

@@KathleenIllustrated of course! I used to do that all the time and made awesome shirts!

[@rixanoz]

Okay, wild suggestion, but could you try making one of those trinket mosaic/terrazzo phone cases that’s been all the rage on the interweaves lately?

[@rixanoz]

For specification, not the cake decor with plastic beads type, but the more grownup thrifting old jewelry and seashells kind

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I think I know what you mean!! Love this idea!!!

[@cloudgoose]

really a Sunday highlight to be able to lay down on my couch and watch the latest Kathleen upload. love to see you playing Dredge! 🤓 what do you think so far? also, I love the “just try stuff” mentality. I’m planning to try out applique a la your sweatshirt applique video this week for a bday present for a friend. 👀 I thought the spray paint shirt turned out v cool, and I enjoyed the grindin’ interlude from Gus! power couple!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw erika, it makes me so happy to know i'm part of your chillout routine!!!! okay so i'm having a lot of fun with dredge... but i can't play it too long because i get STRESSED! haha. i love how it doesn't punish you too badly for messing up, though :o) good luck with your sweatshirt!!! lmk how it goes!!

[@cloudgoose]

@@KathleenIllustrated very understandable! especially that first mission in Ingfell with the giant fish that bonks into you constantly. so stressful! taking breaks is great - I approve of going at your own pace, especially as a gamer who played her first game at like 25 years old! thank you!! I will! ❤️

[@paulinelarson465]

You NEED an airbrush, use with fabric paint, stencils and resists. Get one that uses paint jars rather than the cup style you showed. It is easier to change colors. Saves time if you don't have to clean the airbrush for each color change. You can also freehand and with practice, make different width lines and shading.

[@CathyClarkkerce-il1kw]

You always make me grin like a Cheshire cat! Love the skater shirt.

[@niccyknickers]

im living an artsy life thru you while i watch and craft. Would love to see you make a whole outfit life this.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw niccy, so glad to have you here!!! thank you for the idea!!! 🌻✨💜

[@kalliamazing]

I am obsessed with the hand painted sweatshirts from the 80s. Usually floral designs that were front and center. I've only been able to thrift one in my size, but I did find a magazine/pamphlet from the time with instructions on how to diy paint your own. It's on my crafty to do list!

[@megansimonson]

You saying I feel like I could spray paint more and then "down girl" was very much what happened to me 2 weeks ago, I was just supposed to dye a little rug.... but I had such a big pot of it, why waste it! So then it became a shirt... and a pinafore... and a fitted sheet, and finally a pillow case. 🙈😂

[@KathleenIllustrated]

haha!! ive done the exact same thing while dyeing socks 😆 such a great excuse to add some color to our lives >:)

[@teenygozer]

The shirt design came out reaIly well! I could have sworn you said you got a Crikit as a present--maybe you could create stencils using it and spray or sponge paint through them in future?

[@cutekitten4395]

I love the skater shirt it's so cool!! I saw this post on Pinterest about putting an over the top tattoo idea on a piece of clothing like jeans and with an airbrush and some regular paint I think that'd look really neat, I'd love to see what you come up with. Although fabric paint would make it easier so clean! Can't wait for next week

[@foxylovelace2679]

I love how gestural the sponge was. That could be a really fun technique to lean into for another clothing painting.

[@myhandsaslanguage]

Love how this project turned out. Your whole channel and vibe is so fun. Thank you for sharing your silly projects.

[@SarahisGolden]

Have been enjoying your vids so much! When I can't get my own vintage/thrifting/DIY fix, I have been living vicariously through you 🤩🥸🥲. Suggestion for a future, spray paint adventure: try experimenting with stencils (handmade or thrifted ones would be a plus, of course)!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thank you sarah!!! so glad you're enjoying and i love the stencil idea 👀

[@nectarini]

Hey Kathleen, great video as always ☺️ It would be very fun to see you DIY/flip some home decor, like maybe a spray painted/embroidered lamp shade, curtains, or maybe a scrappy little carpet from leftover fabric! Have a great day🍒

[@AlyciaThrifts]

Yes we need to see Kathleen with an airbrush!!!

[@erinrabideau3691]

Love the reminder to just try stuff! ❤

[@NunchuckPup]

DREDGE is so dang good! And so is this video! So glad I found your channel!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw nunchuck pup!!! So glad to have another pro gamer in the family! 💕✨

[@oracle_8947]

Some macrame attempts for next craft? 👉👈 Like maybe some cool homemade belt ideas, or a choker necklace? Or if you're feeling ambitious, maybe it could be used to connect the lower half of pant legs. Similar to those zip on/off pants legs circa y2k. But cooler? I feel like there's so many options.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

oh my gosh, what an IDEA! I love it!!!! thank you oracle!

[@kristie3592]

Many years ago ( read the 90s ), my roommate spray painted a shirt for me...as I recall it washed fairly well. It was a Halloween design, so it didn't get washed that often, but it held up well. Also, there is spray fabric paint if you want something made for fabric.

[@wlammy4ever]

Such a fun video, I already know it will be a rewatcher for when Im sick of having a sad day❤❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

wlammy!!! makes me happy to know these lil videos can be a source of good vibes on bad days (but I hope no bad days are in your forecast

[@felinetherapy4782]

Love it! Thrift flips are my favourite!

[@tara1638]

This came out great!! Loved it!! Also love love love the fruity outfit!!

[@hollyvanvoast7140]

You give me the kind of vibe, that says to me, you love the movie Xanadu. No? Yes? I adore, it, I was impressed by your design... rollerskating... your style which I have taken in after binging on you for a couple of days... Xanadu just popped into my brain.

[@ellieinBG]

This video brings me joy!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

muahahah. get out of here, little angel and devil sitting on your shoulder. you've got a thrift goblin now!!!

[@ellieinBG]

@@KathleenIllustrated she made me paint my pants!

[@Funkymarsbars]

0:37 OMG I LOVE THIS SONG

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yes!!!!! A fav of mine as well!!!

[@selqui]

This was so fun, and whoa Gus!!!!

[@djcool5002]

you should try to attempt the Japanese vintage remake clothing style! im not sure exactly what the style is called, but it looks like a mash-up of textures and materials to create a new piece :)

[@olivergraves9381]

By the way, if you hold the spray thingy down only halfway or even just a tiny bit, you can make little spackles.

[@amandajaneh]

Such a cute video and haunted doll look ❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hehe thank you amanda! 💀

no YOU'RE the best!!!!!! 💕😍

[@vickisigh2674]

i laughed so many times throughout this vid, thank you for the excellent vibes kathleen! the spray paint top came out looking so cool, i love it, and now i’m inspired to thrift flip my own pieces. also love that lil message at the end about just trying things and doing them imperfectly!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw thank you so much vicki!! Really glad you enjoyed it 🥹💕

[@georgiaw8039]

Hi Kathleen! Im unsure of your living situation (own your home or renting) but I think the wall behind you in this video would be so cool with a mural on it (planting the seed for ideas possibly? Maybe not) 😅 loved this video, I love trying new crafty things 😊

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I'd LOVE to tackle a mural someday!!! Thank you for the great idea (& hope you have a great week, georgia :) )

[@e.malloy7530]

Super fun and cool rollerblade. Good call on the incoming Barbie movie rollerblade renaissance. I foresee 90's neon on the horizon. Would love to see what you'd do with embroidery or screen printing. Maybe some screen prints on top of some funky printed fabric?

[@KathleenIllustrated]

yes!! i need screen printing in my life. i've always been intimidated by the set-up/materials needed.. but i think once i start, i'll be addicted :)

[@e.malloy7530]

@@KathleenIllustrated Totally fair! The set up *is* a bit of effort, but depending on the complexity, you just need a few things, and if you work with water based ink clean up is easy. Another fun thing to do (and even more simple) would be to try block printing with fabric paint on fabric... you can use any interesting shape you find or even carve shapes out of a potato. (Learned that from an old kids magazine 😅)

[@sleepyspacegremlin]

You are hilarious and I love watching your videos ❤

[@pearlspear2922]

i would loooove to see you do some stained glass, i bet you would make the coolest design! would also love to see maybe some jewelry making (beading, soldering, other general jewelry-ish techniques...?), and maybe other new ways to make graphics on shirts (Screen printing? like some sort of accesable at-home screen printing effect?)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

i'm VERY interested in jewelry making!!! it would be so cool to make some custom charms :o) thank you for the ideas, pearliepoo!

[@w1shyfishy]

i love your little voice i put you on in the background when im playing stardew valley

I'm altering a vest that doesn't fit me. It's hard. Bernadette Banner videos can only help so much.

[@brynnabailermango]

Ahhhh I love that two-piece!! You should try the flowers/leaves/branches/christmas tree spray bleach thing and then maybe paint that??

[@KathleenIllustrated]

love it!!!

[@violetsidhe]

Love it and the perfect way to start my Monday morning.

[@nushBee]

!! what an idea, to explore new materials in familiar formats; it's revolutionary to someone who dives headfirst into all skills and hobbies and then gets overwhelmed because i'm starting 100% from n00b. + ooooooooh what about scrap fabric wall art/wearable art/functional art (like cabbage from mending/thrift flips, or old garments one is sentimental about but they're beyond wear) comprising prints and patterns and diff fabrics and textures? will u do us a mixed fabric 'collage', Kathleen? :O

[@KathleenIllustrated]

love the ideas, A B! thank you!!!

Loooveee the overalls 😍😍😍

[@LovetoLearn16]

Hi Kathleen! I’m newer to your channel, I binged a bunch of your videos last week and am coming to you from Liz’s channel! I have no sewing skills whatsoever but seeing you craft and try things makes me really want to learn! I think you’d make great sewing tutorial videos if you ever wanted to help newbies like me get started 😊

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hi L2L!!!!!! Thanks so much for being here! I'd love to do a tutorial-focused video soon. I'm also a total sewing newbie, so we can be newbies together :o)

I've never heard something more RIGHT!!!!! Hope it turns out fabulously!!

[@thesingingpastrychef3541]

I wonder if there’s such a thing as fabric paint spray paint?? It feels like a void in the craft world that oughta be filled. But also airbrushing is V FUN! I used one as a cake decorator and I always felt so fancy

[@KathleenIllustrated]

you're so right!!! i've seen a few comments saying that they actually sell it... at Michaels! LOL maybe I missed it??? also.. omg airbrushing a cake sounds INCREDIBLE. now I've GOTTA TRY IT!

[@aurorabrigade8649]

I'll argue with anyone that your videos are a good time! I'm actually trying to get into foam crafting, I've had EVA sitting in my closet for...far too long. Maybe I'll finally start a cosplay! The shirt turned out great! I love the pop of color so much!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ooooo i'm very curious as to what you'd build with your foam!!! good luck (& thanks so much for watching!) !!!

Ive been trying out solarfast dye and I'm having a great time - its like cyanotype in colour, plus you can wash it! I feel like it'd be perfect for some thrift flips :~)
