Ultimate Trash to Treasure Upcycles / Mega Thrift Store & Dump Finds

[@LM-qs6eq]

I used old license plates on the top of my bird houses. The metal really helps preserve the house from the wind, rain, and snow. Watching birds is one of my favorite activities. Metal finds like the handles are some of my favorite repurpose items. Old clock parts are good too.

That is such a great idea to use old license plates to protect the bird houses!

Hi, 3 of us live in a 2BR apartment. I can't save everything I find. I save metal drawer pulls, art supplies, vases, jewelry, books, and lamps. I store silk flowers by cutting off the stems or pulling them out. When I use them, I put in a pipe cleaner. All my finds fit in a small bookcase or under my bed. Tina, Al's wife

It's amazing how much you can fit into a small space!

[@ginalewis7805]

Your brain works like mine!! I see the same potential in "junk"

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed

[@hollyRuizdeChavez]

I used to have the same little table. You referred to it as a “trivet “. you can see on the bottom where the base used to fit , it’s like a pedestal 😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It’s amazing how many great things are out there waiting to be given a new life!

[@vivianbunch1963]

You have such a great imagination. I always enjoy seeing what you come up with.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

[@debragipson7447]

Hi there! Loving what I am seeing. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind telling us what you sold the trays/Risers for? Price? Getting ready to do a market this weekend and I have some wood and handles/knobs/spindles that I got for free. So excited to put them together quickly!!! Thank you

[@sallyklaver4326]

Where is this dump lol!?

[@donnalayne2395]

😂

[@karoleenascottage]

Right!?! Let’s go!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

A lot of times you can find stuff at side of road or ask friends for peices they are getting rid of

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Right?

[@donnadees1971]

Sometimes you can do too much.

[@diannecrea7090]

[@amandajones4549]

It’s called a Mir-ror. Two syllables!

[@BonnieMiller]

Hi, what do you mean by dump finds?

[@denisefelton8427]

I've been a fan of Deidre for MANY years now! I can answer your question, but I feel certain she'll reach out as soon as she sees it. "Dumpster Finds" is pretty self-explanatory. Deidre seems to always be lucky when checking out the things that people no longer want and decide to throw away. Sometimes, literally at the dump, or even on the side of the road, she'll come across a piece, and instantly, she can see an upcycle. She takes it home and makes it happen. I've noticed that she never seems to be at a loss for creativity! While items may look hopelessly like trash to others, Deidre can always find potential in even the most pitiful looking castaways. Lol! I have truly learned so many techniques from her. In all honesty, of all the crafter I've watched over the last 10 years, I've learned more from her about a variety of things. In case you've not caught on, she's my favorite! Lol! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've gone back to her KZbin channel to refer to her techniques. I wish she and I weren't so far apart - Northeastern North Carolina, USA, and somewhere in Canada. I definitely believe that we could "hang." I guess I'll just have to settle for the Internet. She feels like an old friend. 🎉😊🎄

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Ahh❤️ thanks so much for the kind words! Another great tip is ask friends for castaways!!

[@joansmit5782]

Are you checking for lead paint on these old items????

[@PatNichols-u7b]

Stuff from dumpster

[@Thatsinteresting363]

I keep seeing new videos but the projects are repeats from several other videos. I’m starting to feel duped.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

These compilation videos are a collection of my favorite projects from past videos, put together in one place for easy viewing. I create them for those who enjoy having everything in one spot or might have missed some of the projects earlier. I’m sorry if this wasn’t clear and if it made you feel disappointed-definitely not my intention! I truly appreciate your support and hope you still find inspiration from the content. Thanks for watching ❤️

[@amandajones4549]

Also when you’re posting, can you please use adverbs when you talk? These turned out beautifully is the correct grammar. It fit in my porch perfectly

[@karenlemenchick669]

Really?!

[@PatNichols-u7b]

S you should

[@jaheimtaloon2327]

Keep up the beutefule work

[@OurUpcycledLife]
