Spring Edition - Thrift to Treasure: Cleaning out my Stash - 7 Thrift Flips - Birds & Flowers

In today's video I'm tackling my second box from my stash! On Wednesday nights LIVE we went through the box, and we ended up with 7 items that I had to flip in today's video. My viewers gave me ideas and suggestions for each item, and I ran with it. I was inspired by all things Spring...birds, flowers and Spring colors! These will all work perfectly in a Spring Vignette! I hope you've been enjoying these videos since they are definitely helping me complete a lot of projects! I can't wait to hear what you all think.

I think you can pull out those little tops on candlesticks with a plyers before you paint or do anything with them.

[@justme-on7bn]

Yep, I have done it. They pull right out.

[@bexncarl]

I was thinking the same,maybe heat the top a little to release any glue inside.

[@rebekahweishaupt1744]

Agreed! Pull that metal out 😆

[@rebeccaderzinski6489]

Yep! I’ve removed them before as well!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thanks for the tip! I’m going to try it!!

[@kendraghinelli5081]

Try pulling the metal out with some pliers. I have before. Your projects look great!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you!! ❤️ I’ll try pulling out the metal piece.

[@dianakloster5690]

The gather sign could possibly be made to look rusty to contrast a little more with the apothecary color and make it look more worn rather than shiny or solid black. I vote "Rust!"

[@sharongodwin1477]

I agree....or even dark antiquing wax. I think black would be too harsh.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Great idea! A viewer on my LIVE mentioned a rusty product that I can grab at Hobby lobby. I’ll have to check it out!

[@sparkofvintage]

I think you did an excellent job with a quick flip turn around! Really love the Apothecary and I especially like how you group items together with the same color so we get a different perspective on how it works with different surfaces

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Cindy!! ❤️

[@nancychannel8513]

Maybe fill the hole with paper clay or Bondo up to the level of the metal piece. Then you would have a larger space to glue your round. Just a thought

[@andreachurch1608]

Sometimes the metal part that holds the candle pops right out

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thanks for the tip! ❤️ I’ll try to pop it out.

[@susangrenier795]

Yes please, let us see your other spaces, I love that you can’t find your spring ribbon! 😂 it makes me feel better about my messy craft hoard!

[@arcountry21627]

you ay be able to pop that centet cap outof your candle sticks

[@dawncolbert5239]

I loved your video! I especially love the sign! I would paint the galvanized saying with black …..I think it would make it “pop”!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Loved all of them! Gosh I love apothecary - it's such a great color!! :)

[@shirleyarmour5156]

I think I would like it black

[@rhondawillis3019]

I think black lettering would stand out better. It's a pretty frame.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

I think so too!

[@jackielucchesi6654]

I like the white wax much better on the candlesticks....Great job on everything looks beautiful!!!! Love the cutting board....

[@HWeseloh]

New to your channel. Enjoy your designs… Don’t forget to Sign your pieces! ❤❤❤❤ ⭐️ STRAIGHT OUTTA TEXAS

[@monicapineda4532]

Always so creative with your flips. The last project turned out great. Suggestion I would have made the tin letter rusty crusty. ❤

[@mbweis1012]

Yes I think the cinnamon rust would look great

[@kajlove1]

Your up cycles were so encouraging. I must get busy adding some new stuff for Spring. I loved the white narrow tray but that cutting board with the bird from Roycycled was my absolute fav! I can’t wait to see everything shrink away from inside your greenhouse 👀 !

[@kathyray8165]

Great Flips gurl!! Thanks dear, Kathylyn Ray from N.Mississippi

[@kaysimpson8253]

In your studio, is the brick wall original brick or painted panels of brick. Looking for something for my kitchen or Living room walk. Like your videos. I get inspired. Plus, your hauls blow me away.

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

E-6000 with a dot of hot glue will keep the rounds on for sure as long as you apply plenty of E-6000 and just a Dot of hot glue to keep them on there until the other glue dries... I've done it several times.... I think the two colors would've been exquisite! Maybe cake batter underneath apothecary? Love your projects girl! Can't stop watching 😁😁😁

[@kathybriggs1266]

❤❤❤ I love watching you. I get a lot of ideas! You are very talented…. In my opinion, the galvanized “gather together” would look excellent in black. I’m not a big galvanized fan, anyway. But if you like it, leave it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@karenbutcher5921]

I noticed you used Big Top, I think before you waxed the candle sticks. Would Dixie Bell. Clear coat work?

[@janicelang2232]

Cute projects! I love how you changed the sign color from the white. I think it looked much better. I think I would prefer a stencil saying "Gather". I don't like the together. And maybe a few small pics around the corners. Really loving the stash clean outs though. I'm getting lots of good ideas!

[@astrik5236]

Lot’ of nice things😊 you make 👍🏻about the board - it’s in Norwegian (except for the word hunger) the text was Hunger er den beste kokk, translates to hunger is the best cook. And the rest was a simple old traditional rosepainting (rosemaling). Probably americans with norwegian ancestors that had it.

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

I have a chess board JUST like that, of which I was trying to figure out what to do with it... Mine folds in the center and I thought maybe a lap tray or treat of some sort with handles... Not sure. But you always give me great ideas! I'm just beginning to think about getting a booth at a local antique shop so you've given me SO MUCH inspiration!

[@beckybernard3221]

Don’t like the galvanized on frame, love the apothecary and distressing

[@cathycompton9910]

Everything beautiful. Gather together sign is beautiful but words too shiny

[@cathycompton9910]

Everything beautiful. Gather together sign is beautiful but words too shiny

[@jackiem2899]

On the last project...am so over signs!! Make it an art piece with flowers etc. For Spring! Use decoupage or transfers or both!

[@IrishRnr56]

I like all your crafts the way you created them. I'm sure the comments on what you "could" do are undesired. Keep doing what you like, you have lots of talent!!

[@suitejayne]

I think painting "Gather Together" black would look very nice.

[@wandablaylock3352]

love all you projects. personally i think the galvanized "gather together" would show up better black

[@jeannineharris4449]

The candle holders turned out beautiful! I usually pull the metal cups out and fill with wood glue and wood shavings. Then top with a wood round. If I don't have shavings, I will cut down a dowel and fill with wood glue.

[@wendymccready2641]

Sorry but I can’t understand what your saying about the name of the decoupage paper is called. Royce? Id love to order some. I don’t see it anywhere on your list of items you used. Ty

[@janicefuller8676]

IMO leave the galvanized lettering. Love everything you flipped!

[@kimcollins9462]

Sonnet, you should be able to pull out the little metal cups. They usually come right out. I think everything looks great, and you are getting so much done. God bless.

[@marlenomahony8649]

In the first flip ( the 2 candlesticks ) while they turned out lovely but I think, if it was me, I would have rubbed off some of the paint once dry to show a hint of the gold on the high points before waxing it. The white wax in the deeper areas and the gold on the higher areas would have added a hint of spring sparkle.

[@suebutler5456]

I would have painted the galvanized letters black to match the trim. I loved all your flips 😊

[@lorriedebord9705]

Like the apothecary on the sign , I agree the letters need a bit more pop so maybe outline the letters black . Just edges so the galvanized shows . Love all the projects today .

[@ivankagren2746]

I have done that with candlesticks. I put a small wooden cube in the middle thats I secure with E6000. That gives you more area to secure the riser to.

[@barbaraferrara9209]

I love the gather sign, but I think IOD transfers would look awesome.

[@candya9971]

Yes you can pull those candle cups out slide a flathead screwdriver or similar under the rim go around and then pop out 🙂 oh also look inside first sometimes it's screwed in so you'll have to just use a Phillips screwdriver first 🤪😁

[@mollyvz]

They pop Out. I have replacements and always pop them Out to freshen them up.

[@katdelrio5316]

Usually you can pull out the metal candle insert. Sometimes they're screwed in. Sometimes it's just glue holding them in. But you could also cut a wood dowel down to fit inside and glue or screw a wood round to that.

[@karenporter6670]

Candle stickers turned out pretty but I show wish we will Stop destroying the beautiful brass

[@ambermoy8147]

Sonnet... you can pop those little metal round things that are in the candlesticks right out and then glue and/or nail your wood round on top. I take a flat top screw driver or a metal putty knife and stick it under the lip and just slowly pry it out.

[@lorriedowns2623]

I would make the galvanized words look rusty and crusty.

[@rachelarchuleta795]

I love the flips. I would paint the lettering black.

[@kathydoucetterealestate8641]

] I absolutely love that apothecary color. Everything looks great. I agree with the person who said to make the letters on the sign look a little more rustic however

[@lisapotts2163]

Maybe just dab a bit of black or dark and decrepit here and there on the metal...I love it as is though as well.

[@gingerdismuke3978]

As always I love your flips You can see if the sign sales like it is. Which is beautiful but if it doesn’t then paint it black or white.

[@awildaruiz2493]

I loved everything, very cute. I have a question where can i get those DIY paint. thanks

[@lisamedeiros7581]

Cute projects. Love the birds and how you do the tags. The basket is super cute!

[@Lauralaey5]

You can pull the metal ring off the candle sticks with small pliers. I did it on one of mine, and they came out really easy.

[@starmead283]

I like the galvanized but I think black lettering would look great!

[@AshleighBlair1]

I think a copper or rest on the galvanized words would look amazing

[@angelaspicer2753]

I loved both of the trays! Loving birds too so the cutting board was adorable!

[@janemurray2563]

vote for the sign gettimg a black paint job on the gather sign. All were great redos.

[@sherylreed2060]

Hi im from kansas and want to be a member.is it to late?.love your Wednesday live

[@sandrabrock362]

What did you say the decoupage paper was called ? Spring what ?

[@beverleygarchow9945]

Black would look great for the lettering with the black frame

[@tracyberg5118]

I actually pulled the metal pieces out of my candle sticks, needle nose pliers and twist 😊

[@dianebedard6495]

nice job, everything looks awesome.

[@Suepegee]

you can pop out that metal cup. It looks like there is a hole in the bottom of it. You could bend the end of a hanger and use that to hook it and pull it out.

[@marlenomahony8649]

Love the gathered together sign as is. I wouldn’t paint it.

[@shirleyscanlon5068]

What is big Top? I hear you talk about it but can't find it.

[@marissanelson786]

The medal part usually pops right out with snips.

[@Rachel_nana_diy]

you can remove that medal on top of candle sticks .

[@m.cooper1372]

paint the metal saying black to match the trim.

[@carolsnyder948]

Can u turn the candle sticks upside down?

[@catgodfrey6451]

I ❤ all the projects. I ❤ the apothecary color😊

[@rachellarsen939]

I like it with the galvanized metal words

[@memesfarmhousedesigns9254]

Wahoo!! You are killin’ it with the stash!!

[@tarynkriebel319]

I agree with the white wax on the candle sticks

[@tammycarroll710]

Yes, you can pull those metal candle cups out.

[@rosiemorales7783]

Where do you get your paint brushes?

[@lylacrawford1827]

Where do I find your lives on Wednesday?

[@voletayarbrough2144]

Pull out the metal pieces. I do that all the time.

[@autumngrace7769]

VERY NICE!! THANKS FOR SHARING...

[@janettespiers4242]

I would paint the metal gather white

[@suedaloisio9463]

Love the candlesticks.

[@MrsTib66]

Flips are my favorite!

[@janwalstrom1401]

Love the bird soon much!

[@debbiemarkgraf6901]

Love the apothecary color!!

[@KatCC-z1w]

Centerized is not a word.

[@kathyhelmold7358]

Loved all the projects

[@justme-on7bn]

Make the “gather together” rusty.

[@cindyhunter2582]

Love the gather sign

[@judyeldridge5786]

I think its very nice

[@tarynkriebel319]

You did a great job

[@helen3652]

Pull out the metal cup

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Sonnet, on the candlesticks-with a flat -edged screwdriver, pop the candle holder out, fill the remaining cavity with putty (or air dried clay) and this will be a more stable base as a riser. Know this works, have used this idea more than once. Favorite piece, the sign left as it is with the galvanized letters. Thanks for sharing

[@marionfarley7379]

It looks great.

[@ginacrusco234]

Hi Sonnet! I love the way you did the cutting board with the lavender-accent bird decoupage. (I think the saying was "hunger makes the best cook". Much better the way you upcycled it!)

[@tracybarnes6608]

Love everything, it’s hard sometimes to decide how to flip stuff, some things come easy others you just feel like giving up. I love the apothecary distressed background with the black frame really cute.xx

[@charlotted6247]

I love the Apothecary paint color. All the birds are beautiful. I love the bowl, Oh Sonnet I love all of it. ❤️

[@passjs]

Love them all!!

[@kimberlymiller8988]

I love them all.

[@ellenl5626]

Lots of great ideas! In the last project I would take the metal wording off, outline it in black and then re-attach.

[@mossycreekdesigns2]

The galvanized words look good to me. If it doesn't sell you can always reevaluate it. Many of the metal candle cups will come out of the candlesticks. Definitely worth a try.

[@lo1001]

Sonnet, I look forward to your videos... so much inspiration.
