The More-With-Less cookbook is an old classic with lots of delicious frugal recipes. I still use mine.

Thank you!

Aloha from the Pacific Northwest! Wanted to share a thrifting score- I found some round bamboo salad plates in the 90% off bin at a thrift shop. Brought them home, sanded down with 320 grit paper, used a light stain to bring out the bamboo, sealed and gifted. Love your ideas; they inspire me to think out of the box! Minute marker 5:30- pun intended! 😄

[@OurUpcycledLife]

That is awesome! Greatbfund

[@KMF3]

Did you gift them as a food item? It doesn't sound like you would be able to use them for food again. Depending on what you used for a stain and a sealer. I guess you could stain it with coffee and then seal it with mineral oil and then it would be food safe.

[@alohamom2380]

@@KMF3 Rest assured, I rearched food-safe methods to stain beforehand.

Love the frame around the pegboard👏👏👏

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I think it looks great too! 😊

So creative. You made my sick day from work enjoyable and I always learn from you!!

If I was to recreate your key to happiness DIY I’d use a keyhole piece instead of the doorknob piece. Great inspiration! Thanks for sharing your awesome talent! Blessings!🩵

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great idea!!

So many clever ideas and strategies to bring new life to some of our “out of date” furniture!

Glad you enjoyed

[@barbaradutton5362]

LOVE YOUR WORK! just a thought - at the end of each project, maybe you can show us side by side before and after photos!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes, that’s something that I could definitely do. Thanks for watching.

[@theeditor1149]

Girl i love how you do the woodwork yourself, I watch a lot of upcycling and furniture flip and home DIY videos and while it's fine to get your husband or father to help it just feels so much more within my ability when I see women actually doing the work themselves. Of course there are safety issues that come with using power tools and no shame to anyone without woodworking experience who needs to get someone else to do it for them, but it still feels empowering to see women who know how to use these tools safely and well.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks! It's important to me to show that anything is possible with the right tools and techniques.

I would use the iron method on the stool. It is nice and big and flat.

I overheard someone stating there are only signs that say welcome to our home and never welcome to my home. I thought it was an interesting observation and thought it would be right up your alley as a project idea. 😊

22:39 this is a 1 Vintage Wheels, 2.5" Factory Cart Wheels PS I look it up and I like learning old thing

[@Fuzbaj]

This one in the video could be vintage as it looks old and rusty. We have wheels like this a little bit larger for metal tables we use to hold piles of metal while we work with it. So really it's a heavy duty wheel.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Oh I bet it is!!!!

[@SheilaDavis-nu4je]

Would you share some of those old recipes please? 🙏🏼 Just screenshots would do. Do you by any chance have any New York style cheesecake in those recipes? 🤔

[@karenhenry3778]

Just a question I'm curious what do you do with the cardboard after you've used it for the spray painting and/or cleaning?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I use my cardboard over and over if I’m spray painting or crafting on it but if it gets too bad, then I just recycle it

[@DonnaLatty-kh6db]

You are very talented 👍❤️🙏

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you so much 😀

[@laurajohill3035]

I love the first one, that makes the vase look like very old ceramic. But I would like to do this on some big pots that I have outside that are plastic. What type of sealer should I use that would keep the plaster that I apply from coming off?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

An outdoor polycrylic sealer

[@papabear2515]

Great projects! May I ask the area you live in that allows you to take things from the dump and landfill? I’ve never lived anywhere where that was allowed. It would be great to do so! We are not even allowed to pick things up from anyone’s curb trash! I live now in the PacificNorthwest but have also lived in the Southwest and South. Thanks much!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

A lot of my finds are curbside finds. I’m in 🇨🇦

@@OurUpcycledLife I so wish we could do this!!! I’m thrilled you can! Best to you!

[@jenniferlawson3847]

I love all your great ideas! I live in the states & we don't have a dump we can go to although I've found many great roadside treasures. If I came to Canada would I be able to go to those dumps or are they only for Canadian citizens?

I have the More With Less cookbook!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Love it

[@JCrane-i2h]

Question about the transfers. I have done/tried numerous ones and they all seem to have an outline that won't go away that really shows up when sealed. Any thoughts on this? I have scrapped so many things because my eyes are drawn to the outline that's left.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

That usually means you don’t have a white background and you are putting on mod Podge too thick. It is a thick glue so if you don’t spread out thin you will see it

[@jonimosteller8946]

there are so many very loud advertisements. Why not leave them for the beginning or end of the video. It is very jarring when adverts shout at me. You wouldnt put heavy metal rockmusic during the video. Very disappointed.....
