Glad you enjoyed it!

You are So creative, amazing ❤️

[@dorisandujar8277]

The lampshade is amazing, I love it. The fabric is definitely from the 70's. My 1st Apt after I got married in 73 was with those greens and blues. I also had the big flowered wallpaper in orange and yellow very popular in the kitchen. You surely found a treasure in that lamp. The carving is gorgeous. Great projects and thanks for sharing.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for sharing!! Great memories ❤️

[@reneeharris3072]

Omg I never knew this printing on fabric is, thank you so much for sharing this ❤️❤️❤️

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome!

[@dawnfrancis1987]

I love this. I never knew you could do that with flour. This is awesome❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@retroredo9850]

I love the decoupaged cabinet with scarf! I have a few things needing covered and just a touch more to be great!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Wonderful!

[@PCHPatti]

Brilliant Ideas! I especially like the batik idea - so easy to do. Have you ever applied a second layer of batik? To the brown one, for example, re-crack it and apply another color paint. Or clean/dry and start another layer of batik in a complementary color.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

That's a great idea!

[@joycehawkins2742]

[@geminisabah]

The yellow and white fabric on the lampshade is 1970s greatness 🎉❤😊 i love it

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes! Thank you!

[@geminisabah]

@@OurUpcycledLife I often find myself looking for things made then, or look as if they were, there is something nice and calming about the colors and patterns...

[@denawhisler1763]

You redeemed yourself with the flour printing on fabric which looks fab. I have used to create batik like prints and it is both amazing and fun.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Wonderful!

That lampshade is really far out!!! I am really digging it! Would that technique work on a flat, unpleated lampshade?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes it does!

[@ljbj4]

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Just watched this video. I love the fabric painting with flour. I was wondering if this can be used on outdoor projects. Will the paint hold up to moisture?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I have not used on anything exposed to the elements so unsure how durable

[@diolenemarsh4451]

Thank you love it from NAMIBIA

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are welcome

[@piecesofjoyliberty2064]

So far the fabric for the lampshade reminds me of the 1970's. Something I'd see in the old tv show Three's Company 😊. When you was doing the pink table and fabric top I was thinking Mrs. Roper would love that 😅. I guess we both grew up watching that show. 🤜🏽🤛🏼💜🧡🧡.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Oh yes!!! 70’s vibes

[@LAURENCECARROLL-c4h]

LOVE YOUR ART

[@lordsgirl1123]

The lampshade and DIY batik are my favorites. I can’t wait to incorporate them into my own projects and space! Thank you.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Wonderful!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you creating all those amazing pieces and I really really love ❤️ most of them. The lampshade I really think you should have left it as it was. I really didn’t like it or the trim you used, but, it wouldn’t do for us all to like the same thing would it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks 😊

[@MsShannaK]

I loved all your fabric DIYs,! But the lamp shade is so awesome. Can’t wait to thrift a pleated lamp shade to try this technique. You are the best crafter on KZbin!😀❤️👍🏻

[@carlabarlow7418]

Wouldn't a heat press work better? You have such creative ideas. I am impressed by how you can look at things and see them in a different way. I am building my own shop at the moment. I have gotten back into crafting over the last couple of years and its too much for my house, so we have cleaned out a barn shed and turning it into a shop, Im very excited. I am nervous about the idea of doing videos, but my daughter said I need to share my ideas. So hopefully I will be able to do that. Your videos are very enjoyable to watch, you do a great job.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So glad you are enjoying

[@pattybrooks1561]

So awesome! Love all of your techniques! Can't wait to try them! You are so good.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@lorraineedmond5921]

For the printed fabric, I find it easier to iron the fabric to the shiny side of freezer paper, no spray adhesive needed, and it peels right off

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes, that can work sometimes but I do find if you’re not using a good quality wax paper it doesn’t adhere very well

[@sept2197]

Very awesome like your ideas thank you

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you like them!

[@marycato1361]

The cabinet with the fabric top is so cute! I would have turned it upside down then cut the edges of the fabric with the knife. (My hands are not as steady as yours, & I'm a little accident prone).

I LOVE the fabric design and it's use on the lamp! ❤️ Question: does the heat from the light bulb melt the Mod Podge?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No not at all

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

Love love love that lamp base! And for free, wow. And what a creative thing to do with the lampshade. It's SO hard to find lampshades these days. Movers tore all mine, I'm going to put on my thinking cap. Mine aren't pleated, but .... Great ideas, thanks!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you so much!

[@melissawallace9745]

Great ideas, thanks for sharing. Are the graphic transfers on cloth washable? I've been trying to find a method to transfer a photo to a Jean jacket.

[@bonniebonnie7149]

I would suggest using T shirt transfers that are available in office supply stores. It’s very similar to her technique but the base layer is plastic. Have fun!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No, these are not washable
