Thrift to Treasure - Upcycled Goodwill Bins Finds - Spring is in the Air

In today's video, I grabbed items that I recently thrifted at the Goodwill Bins and upcycled them to create the perfect vignette! I absolutely love how they are so Springy!! I can honestly say that the floral needlework is on the top of my favorite list with these thrift flips!!
I'm so sorry that my videos have been coming out a bit late. I'm working on getting a fix to my internet issues. It has been taking days to upload my videos and it is so frustrating for me!!
I hope I've inspired you during this thrift to treasure video!!

I love your videos,the basket I love and your tansfer.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you so much!😊

[@clej1]

I just love those cross stitch pictures, they are so so beautiful ! I cant believe someone didn't want them! And they look even more beautiful in their newly painted frames!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you! 😊

[@jeanine6492]

Definitely with the stencil! All cute.

[@jeannewatkins4074]

Loved the little stool. I liked the white paint with the burlap color. So fun. Good luck with organization. Go girl, go

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Jeanne! 😊

[@MariaStone-d5y]

I love these videos…none of the wasted chit chat…you are very talented…

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you for watching! ❤️ I’m assuming you’re referring to my LIVES when you mention unnecessary chit chat. It would be completely impossible to do a LIVE without the additional chit chat. I know they aren’t for everyone and that’s why I put out so many different forms of content.

[@MariaStone-d5y]

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms that’s why I like these the best!!💕

[@youfounduswi]

@@SonnetsGardenBlooms The lives are growing on me. I just watched Fridays live while I was cleaning out the china cabinet. Part of the fun is hearing you figure out what is best to do. And fixing booboos!

I love hearing they are growing on you!! ❤️

[@Thatsinteresting363]

The footstool stole my heart! ❤❤❤However, I do love all the projects!

[@Vaflnana]

Love the decoupaged ceiling fan blade at the beginning. It would be pretty to do all of a small ceiling fan in a child’s room like that.

[@SylvieBDT]

Ou acheter en France des beaux transferts plus le nécessaire ??. Ce que vous faites est très sympa.

[@ginacrusco234]

Hi Sonnet! I think you picked exactly the right color scheme for the bench -- not too matchy-matchy, as they say. My absolute fave is the lion-legged piece; your choice of the lion stamp was smart!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thanks Gina! 😊

[@robynnkuhns9180]

I've missed these videos. Thanks for posting.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I’m trying to get a variety of videos for everyone. I will definitely continue to do these Thrift to Treasure videos! 😊

[@calinbrown517]

If I'm not sure about how the stamp will look I will stamp it on the clear sheet it comes with using permanent ink,then use THAT image to see if I like it or not! I just keep the stamped pieces in a Ziploc bag,then when I get a piece I want to stamp, pull out the bag and play around with them all 😏 until I get the look I want! But I think everything came out perfectly and I love them all!!!❣️🙏🏼 4 ✌🏼 AlWaYs

[@Yachtnurse51]

Love that idea!🤓

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That’s an amazing idea! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@reecefish391]

FYI you could have popped the bolts out b4 u Decoupage

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

That definitely would have been a lot easier! 😂

[@SparksofJoyStudio]

Love the stool! You inspired me to try painting my fabric furniture… I have an old ottoman I want to try.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is! 😊

[@andreascott2128]

I love the pink frames so very much, what a wonderful transformation!!! Glad I found your channel, new follower in me!!!

[@JKBdesignsByJessM]

I would love it if you showed what u got the item for and then intended sale price after

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I used to do this a little bit, but I stopped because every area for pricing varies so much. I may do it again in the future. We will see. 😊

[@joanb7567]

It looks like the 2 embroidery pictures might be on some old paintings…if you look at the back of them , it looks like canvas and the frames are definitely used for paintings…if you haven’t sold them you might want to check that out😊

[@SouthernMama2five]

I loved the way you applied the crackle medium with the Fusion paint. It really complimented the stitched pieces!

[@christinalively8292]

Love your creativity. But there is no word. centerized just centered . I am 64 but could hear my Father's voice in my head correcting this 😊

[@reddawn2072]

Not much improvement on the four needlework pictures. They needed to be covered with glass.

[@dennisbrown6565]

Needed to stretch tapestry more, the wrinkling is distracting from the beauty of the piece

[@patmontalbano290]

Yes the silver piece does look better painted, but you redid the stamp because the distressing is different.

[@leeannhull9586]

You didn't mention what you sealed it with after you painted the top with the DIY paint please

[@nickylavryssen2442]

Hi there, first time viewing and new subscriber!! Loved the lion riser so much ❤

[@clairemillette4645]

Bonjour madame j'ai beaucoup apprécié votre tutoriel c'était vraiment cool felicitation 👍👍👍♥️🥰♥️

[@delilahklenk6658]

I think that very first project could be used as a macrame board as well as a note pad holder

[@SparksofJoyStudio]

You always come up with the most creative and beautiful upcycles!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Awe thank you! 😊

Why are you shouting loudly? And the you go to a like whisper stage?

[@dorothylehman4164]

I love love love. Love the little footstool or the little riser. Kid used it as a rise or for a plant a potted plant. It's really nice , I like that

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Dorothy. 😊

[@b.l.wilson9724]

I wet distress fusion paint all the time but I do it within 24 hours of painting the item.

[@Lamara5292]

I like your thrift to treasures and booth updates, I find them inspiring.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Lamara! 😊

Love the videos but I have to turn down the volume. Waaaaaay too much chit chat

[@Martbez1]

Thank you Sonnet! You're a darling! That was a nice Sunday surprise to have a Thrift upcycled video from you. The little bench is my favorite - if I must choose.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Martie! 😊

[@nancycowan6109]

I like the little stool, it girl, centerize is not a word. 😉

[@sandianderson1500]

I am crazy about the door and the note pad holder! Oh my gosh! Beautiful!! The stool turned out so great! I love that I got to watch you thrift all of these items and then watch you bring them back to life, Thanks for bringing us a thrift to treasure. It's much easier for me to find the time to watch these. Thanks so much for listening! Good luck on your weekend project. What an ambitious thing to tackle!

[@terrihart2133]

Yes I have more time to watch these as well.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Sandi!

[@cassandrasmith5517]

All of these turned out great ❤❤❤

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Cassandra! 😊

[@tarahall8680]

For those who can’t afford expensive products, school glue will give the same finish as these crackle products. Application is the same…brush on, let get tacky, then one swipe of paint. Honestly, I’ve tried both and prefer the glue.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Yes! Thank you for sharing this Tara!

[@dorothylehman4164]

I guess you notice you have sags in your fabric. Probably should have stapled it on each corner. That was gonna be hidden under the frame. Before you put it in the frame baby. I'm just saying maybe that would have helped you

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Yes I know that there is a little slack in them. I may go back and tighten them before they go into my booth. 😊

[@estelleadamski308]

The fabric seems a little loose in the pics. I've heard pouring hot water on the fabric makes it tighter. Have you heard of it? I used it once and it seemed to work, it drew the fabric tighter. Of course you have to worry about it leaving a water stain. Just found you and subscribed.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Hi Estelle! I have not heard of that idea to pour hot water to tighten fabric. I’ll have to think about that one! 😊

[@marlenejohnson2350]

You are amazingly talented! Too hard to choose my fave,but I think I’ll pick the first…..shoes!

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you so much Marlene!😊

[@traceye.6428]

All of the pieces are lovely. The word you are looking for is “centred”, not “centerized”. As in “I centre my stamp on the footstool”

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thanks Tracy. I have always said centerized, so I guess that is just my way of saying centered. Maybe it’s a Wisconsin thing.🤷‍♀️

[@nancypisar8854]

Awesome

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Thank you Nancy!😊

[@youfounduswi]

I have used four different types of mineral and chalk paint, and DIY is the best for wet distressing, I feel. My favorite is the footstool today.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I absolutely agree about the DIY paint! 😊

[@pennyhexter3475]

I would love to start selling upcycled items. I have a hard time imagining where to start. I see a lot of people who are well into thier business. But how to start from the beginning?

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Penny you just start with one piece and most of us started selling on Facebook Marketplace or some other platform first. Then once you get enough inventory built up you can start looking for a small booth to move your pieces through. 😊

[@bettys375]

You need to get a move on because Heather at Create your own Cozy has got a lead on you!😁😁😁😁😍

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

😂

[@Yachtnurse51]

So if you use DIY paint on fabric you don’t need to water it down??🤓

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Some fabrics won’t require water, but for the most part, it’s best to use a misting bottle to allow the paint to sink into the fabric. That way the fabric won’t be so stiff when it dries. 😊

[@lalat6543]

I think since you wet distressed the legs, the dark color poking though (although not the same color as the stencil) ties everything together. I love it!

[@colleenwallace7852]

Thank you for this. I simply don’t have time to watch a full live video.

[@lamonarankin5504]

Could the silver piece painted beadboard be used outside in a garden?

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

Absolutely! I would put at least one more top coat on, but it would be beautiful in a garden! 😍

[@melonmahfood2439]

Very excited to see a flip video! So agree, paint the stool legs black and will be a super quick sale.

There is no such word as "centerized." What you want to say is "center," or "centered." The first is present tense and the second is past tense.

[@SonnetsGardenBlooms]

I know, people always give me grief about the way I say it. I have always said centerize so I guess it’s my own word. 😊 it must be a Wisconsin thing. 🤷‍♀️
