Thrift to Treasure • Wooden hanger, Nativity scene, set of canisters, pitchers

[@karenhamlow646]

Julie I want to tell you something. those 4 dated canisters. Your not going to believe this. My Mom used to use that those same canaster set in her home. Yes I can't thank you enough for this amazing idea of yours. Yes I am going to try to remake what you have done. I am also going to get those stamps and see if I can do it.. For some strange reason I couldn't let them go. And for sure my Mom in Heaven is going to be so proud of me for what you have taught me to do. I can't thank you enough.

[@dorothylehman4164]

If you spray painted I have the Rust-Oleum 1 and 2 primer plus paint I use that to spray my glass and let it dry and then I go and do the baking soda technique and it turns out perfect it sticks to it you can varnish it you can paint it another color and it looks really great I've done it a lot you can do it Julie you do a lot of stuff so you can do that I know you can

[@riostephanie489]

Love, love, love!! 💕💕

[@holliyargo]

“I’ve never done this before but I’m confident I can do it.” Most important words an artisan/crafter can say. Those are empowering words and we should all share this mindset. Thanks for your videos!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks, it's not often I have a fail so I'm totally willing to try anything and sometimes mistakes lead to new ideas!

[@patrinacopeland265]

The French Country look you gave those canisters is so amazing. I can understand why you kept them for your own home decor!!!! The pitchers are so beautiful, and the texture came thru nicely. Great job👏👏👏👏👏

[@KayByTheBay]

I've been binge watching your channel. You have such creative ideas and see potential most folks would miss. My brother-in-law is from Hammond. I knew you were from south LA ❤ before you ever said. I'm so excited to watch your channel grow. Blessings to you

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you

[@mssarahc4085]

Yes me too ,I love her Channel, I have learned a lot from her, she’s awesome 😌

[@doreenray5521]

I found you about a month ago. You are so fun! You mentioned Jami Ray Vintage. THAT’S MY KIDS. ☺️

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Oh awesome, so glad you are enjoying the videos. You kids are definitely an inspiration to me. I really enjoy watching their journey. Hoping I can scale my business like they did.

[@ginnypokorny4226]

Doreen, I love your kids!

[@juniperautumn9421]

I love it when you make mistakes!!!! It stops me from doing the same thing!!! You go girl, you rock!!!

[@lindielee8944]

The canisters turned out awesome. I've used stamps for years with acrylic paints on canvas. I use a medium to thin the paint to an inky constancy. A medium thins without watering down the paint. Perhaps chalk paint can be thinned also. If you can thin it down and add a layer of paint to wax paper, (in essence making a stamp pad),press the stamp on the paper then the object. This might produce the effect you are looking for.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks for the tips

[@bonzojenks303]

The crocks were my favorite project. You are so creative and talented. Thank you.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks 😊

[@dianastrauss2847]

I love them, too, Julie. I have stamped, and always use ink. What you do is, take the ink pad and tap it on the stamp, as opposed to taking the stamp and tapping it on the ink pad. It works so much easier. I love all your projects. I just tried the baking soda, paint idea, and love it also. I am praying for Louisiana, and your baby is adorable....

[@susanlarberg2380]

Love the canisters and vase. Glad you weren’t affected much by the storm. God bless and thanks for your inspiration ❤️

[@Cynthia2v]

I love how the canisters turned out! The nativity scenes were beautiful after the transformation, too. You have great ideas!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you

[@amyhoff1501]

I like them all , canisters first ,Wooden Hanger second ,vases third and then the nativity sets

[@barbarasmith3355]

Hey Gal Just wanted to let you know you are rocking these Thrift to Treasures!...l too am a South Louisiana gal, born and raised in Gibson and spent most of my adult years in Chackbay Now l am in Pecan Island about 60 miles East of Cameron, so we were definitely in the storms ( Laura) path. We were extremely lucky to have gotten by with minimal damage of tree branches scattered throughout the yard, our chicken coup, is a lil off kilter and we were without power and water for a couple days. Love your ability to turn such ugly things into something beautiful, and make money off of it. Hope to see lots more of your Thrift to Treasure videos!❤️❤️❤️

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks ma'am. Glad you weren't hit too hard. I'm nervously waiting for our turn to be hit head on in morgan city 😬 we been lucking out so far

[@conniejenice]

I am a stamper and there a ink pad name “StazOn “ it’s for every surface . It will stay on metal and all kind of material. You will need to buy the StazOn stamp cleaner to clean your stamps . And it’s comes out great . It comes in all kind of color . It don’t come off when it’s dry . There are lots of you tube info on it . You can get it at most crafts store .

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you. I'm going to check it out!

[@nancyparmelee4161]

Usually what is used for ink block printing is a rubber roller and special ink in a tube. You can buy it in an art supply store. It’s rolled over the block or stamp, then the stamp or block is rolled with a clean roller to make the print. I am an art teacher. You could try that process for your stamping, it will give you cleaner edges.

[@lindapurdy8542]

Love all these ideas! I love how you show even the parts when it doesn’t work out. Because let’s face it, sometime its a trial and error! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!

[@WendyWilliamsLiving]

Your instruction, along with your realness, is endearing and so helpful. The canisters are beautiful!!!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you

[@maudegagnon9793]

FYI - Jami & Zebulon use a brayer to put paint on their stamps and it distributes the paint more evenly and accurately. I think they have also used ink. Wish I could recommend which video of theirs but they've done it many times at the end of a Saturday Thrift Haul I think. Love those canisters as well and would keep them. Loving your channel.

[@patriciarafter3h]

My faves, were the canisters and the pitchers! 💖

[@janiewarre9941]

I like both the nativity pieces but the white the most

[@chancekim1]

I love the pitchers and crocks! Thank you so much for the sweet shout out for the people in Lake Charles! Lake Charles is my home town and all 4 of my sisters and the rest of my family live there. Absolutely the most devastating storm I’ve ever seen hit there.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Yes, very sad. I'm glad none of the other storms got them again

[@cathythreat3927]

I loved everything! You did amazing job. Love love .God bless you and your beautiful channel. ❤❤❤❤

[@kikibrownie1374]

I hope you and your family staying save❤ You have a wonderful lake behind your home

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you, that's the bayou. We are surrounded by water around here

[@cathyknapp9360]

They turned out awesome the ink pads I'm praying that you got stays on or something permanent that will work best for your stamps and as far as the mixture with the paint can baking soda I used a little round brush and tapped it on to get my texture and they turned out really good so just some little tips if you interested thank you for your shows I enjoyed them have a great weekend God bless

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

I finally got some staz-on ink. Works much better!!

[@debbiefarner1688]

I love the grey nativity and the canisters. I collect nativity sets and I'd definitely add that to my collection!

[@kayerobertson5307]

You used your face! Too funny! They all turned out great. I used the caulk paint and baking soda on a bird, now it looks like concrete. So cleaver. I will be using this technique again! Thank you for all the ideas! Your baby is beautiful!

[@sharonsands708]

All were very pretty, but the canisters were my favorite.

[@lindaleedurham345]

I am new to your channel, just a couple of weeks now and I have been going back and watching your older videos. I really enjoy watching you and listening to you talk. In this video with the stamps on the crocs I really love your "face technique", gave me a tickle when I seen and heard you say "I used my face". I loved it! All these pieces turned out beautiful. I found your channel by watching Ginger Chick Rehab Decor channel. If you haven't watched her, you should, Yvonne and her husband Chris do beautiful work, and it is right up your alley.

[@kimmiller8640]

I cant pick a favorite. They are all great! I will have to try the baking soda. I just used my IOD knob stamps for the first time. They are great and would have been better if i hadn't had the stamper upside down. I'll learn one day to watch ALL of the video😂been praying for Lake Charles. We passed through a few times going to Houston.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Stamping sounds easy but there was certainly a learning curve for me.

[@munchkintheoneandonly9253]

I love those canisters as they are .. but I love what you did with them ..💖

[@darcil1493]

Loved the vase remakes.

[@barb.b]

I really like the Christmas Tree on the metal tray and the Pom Pom spit of the mop heads is really cute. Love your videos. 💕

[@marywest2896]

glad you were safe through the storm. i prayed for Louisiana during that horrible time.

[@marybronson442]

All of your projects turned out nice, but my favorite are those crocks, man they are Beautiful, like the way you staged them too❤️

[@yvonnew5186]

Nice projects and outcomes! ~ I happen to think, if anyone wants to try doing the distressed look with statues like you did, it might be helpful to take a picture of them first. This way you know where certain colors are that you may want to highlight. ~ I hope that helps! :)

[@leahrivka]

Julie I am so glad I found your channel! The canisters were so incredible from the transformation! We also live in a hurricane track on the East Coast. Not fun when you have to prepare for one after the other till the season is over.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Yes 😫 kinda unusual for us to have one so late but ya know 2020

[@sharonlee3748]

I totally love what you did with all these pieces! Initially, I was a bit concerned about the nativity scenes, as I collect these. However, when they were finished I wanted to buy them for my collection - but I was too late! So disappointed! Well done. I learn so much from your videos. They are authentic and easy to follow. All the best. Keep safe. Warmest Regards from Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. xo

[@mrststreasures9628]

That's right...the summer sucked for weather!! Hope you all were ok.

[@Bodiy]

The three candle holders are beautiful and my favorite

[@winonahayes906]

Love them all! I want to try the baking soda and paint creation!

[@alicegray4196]

Just stumbled on to your video and knew right away you were from Louisiana. I have direct connections to southern Louisiana as that is where my husband is from. I love your flips and plan to try my hand at it. By the way, my husband is from Morgan City in St Mary Parrish. I have a niece in Boussier City. Your accent is just like hers. Good luck with the hurricane.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Glad you enjoyed. We are in Morgan City

[@kwatson8504]

I love love love the stamped jars. And you cracked me up using your face!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

🤦‍♀️ I am happy to say I have gotten much better at using these

[@suzyallen1726]

I love your tutorial. Very clear. Also love the learning curve gives me more confidence

[@Thatsinteresting363]

I loved them all but especially the white jugs! Wow!

[@tiffanybakas]

Super cute! I have been stamping crocks too and had laugh! I had the same problems, using my face too! I found that ink is better, but still is hard to stamp on the curve. I finally tried rolling my crock over the stamp that I laid on the table. That was the ticket! Also the iPod crackle stamp gives them a wonderful crazing look. I am loving your channel!

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

I will have to try. I been getting so much better at it 😁

[@livingbeautifully3666]

I have just started flipping some diys and it has definitely been a learning curve. I LOVED seeing you press the stamp down with your face!! It made me laugh and I can definitely relate!

[@angelawilloughby6680]

I absolutely love those canisters! Thanks for the inspo.

[@jackieburnett6881]

Love the canisters and the pictures! All were pretty!! Ty for sharing!! I was sooo sorry for all the people who were affected by the hurricane! It was so bad! I’m glad you faired well with no major damage!

[@delisadickson8612]

I have a brass pot i did the faux enamel on and added the crockery stamp. I think it turned out pretty good.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Good idea. That stamp makes everything look amazing

[@klouise2800]

I am new to your channel and love everything that you do. I am a seller or repurposed/refreshened decor items & furniture and you have given me some new ideas and our tastes are so similar. I love that you don't have a fancy stencil machine as I don't either and have been using good old carbon paper as well as reverse transfers on wax paper. Today we are experiencing some of the effects from a hurricane - category 2 in Nova Scotia, Canada. Thankfully it is not too bad. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos. Thanks for posting.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks you. So glad you enjoyed. I like this process. I find it very easy but I know others don't 🤷‍♀️

[@leobardochavez7190]

My favorite piece was the canister loved everything

[@pamtaylor5542]

Great video. My favorites are the canisters. I have those stamps so I am anxious to find some canisters to transform. Also can't wait to try the baking soda trick. You never disappoint!

[@margievaughan2456]

Just found your channel a few days ago, love it , I’ve gone back & watched many of your videos. The canisters & pitchers were my favorite but I loved the nativity scenes also.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

👋 welcome, so glad you enjoy

[@leobardochavez7190]

Everything turned out really nice loved it

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you 😊

[@marysmart5628]

I had bought the same stamps for crockery a few months ago but have not used them yet. I loved how they looked on the canisters.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

try on a flat surface first!! haha, they are awesome. I want to stamp everything.

[@601buffy]

I use the baking so there and latex paint for all of my crafts and had no problem with it not sticking if you do have that problem coat it with a layer of mod podge 1st then use your new mixture

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Once I finished off that container I just mixed with chalk paint. I'm loving this look so much. I want to paint everything with it

[@marthadueck6461]

My favourite is the pitchers

[@samdugcat1]

Loved the two pitchers.

[@jonicabeird4657]

Love all of these! Canisters are my favorite, pitchers are my second favorite. Glad you all are safe after the hurricanes.

[@catherineholcombe4701]

I thought the before figurines were nice as is but I do tend to be more traditional. However, I do love the afters of the canister set and pitchers.

[@KarenNeverLandNursery]

I loved the crocks! Well I love all of them!

[@therusticranchgarden]

Wow. Looks so cool

[@lisam.5143]

You used your face!!! Lol you crack me up!! Hey, it works! Have a good one! Thanks for sharing! - Lisa - xoxo

[@vickiejohnston3686]

Love the pitchers. Will be trying it !! Glad you survived the storm with a lot of damage. Adorable girls. Continue to shine.

[@mesquitemagic]

I LOVE the canister set!

[@pamelabarker7259]

I loved all Your projects but love canisters /stencils and pitcher texture

[@ellenwheeler2031]

The cannisters are great

[@carlahankins725]

Julie so much easier to use ink. But if you want to use paint put it on with a brayer. Works great

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

I use ink now. As you can tell this was my first time trying this 🤣🤣

[@terrihart2133]

Love the canisters.

[@velmacoffey3763]

Great job on canisters and pitchers!!

[@gaydonhaiser130]

I love the canister set.

[@tamilandreneau4877]

Julie, Wish I could share my end products with you. You have inspired me, so much. I've overcome my silly fears of failure and I am so confident. P.S. I have already, sold 1 of my items, before I even listed them, for sale. ❤️

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Awesome, you can share project on Julie's Designs and Signs Facebook group page

[@lorraineophoff4984]

Pitchers turned out great!

[@karenthurston8532]

The canister set love the stamps

[@joycewhite5550]

Use archival ink by rancher use black its what crafters use for stampes. It works great

[@peanutpearson3333]

The canisters are wonderful!

[@karenkent8525]

I am new to your channel. I LOVE that you painted crockery! I never thought of doing that. Off to the thrift store to try this now!! Thank you for the inspiration!!

Awesome!! Good luck

[@elizabethviscusi923]

Love the wood, good luck with your items, and I look forward to your future videos. Thanks!

[@KellyBrown-jg1jz]

I used IOD stamps with chalk paint and found using a brayer works well. You don't load so much paint.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thanks for the tip

[@judykey3784]

Really enjoy watching you🙂

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you

[@beverlybullock4150]

I love the canisters. I have considered ordering the crockery stamps. You can use paint with the stamps. You just need a brayer. Looking forward to more videos.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

I'm in love with stamps now but I want to design my own. I can't find what I have in my head

[@nyokasmith6611]

Being a stamper.... I would suggest if you want to use paint that you spread a thin layer of paint onto some windowsheet and stamp you stamp in that and then onto your project. Putting the paint on the stamp with a brush gets too much paint in areas and no paint in other areas...... good luck....

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you

[@klouise2800]

Hi again, I just bought these stamps as well and ink is one thing to use but you can also use paint but rolling it on the stamp with a small amount of paint works best. I have also seen a video to use the stamps as a mold, pressing it into modelling clay and then adding to jar, etc. I am in love with these stamps and plan to experiment today. Love your projects.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Awesome. I'm going to have to try the clay. I love adding layers and textures to my pieces

[@klouise2800]

@@JuliesDesignsandSigns The Painted Sisters is one I loved.

[@lolitabonita08]

the baking soda does not hold specially in shinny surfaces...the best thing is to put primer for cars...then let cure and then paint using plaster or calcium carbonate with the paint...must let dry for 30 days and can not be wet..

Perfectly imperfect. ❤️

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Thank you, yes hopefully no more hurricanes.

[@jeanettegibbs9148]

I was going to tell you to use ink! Much better results with stamps,you can use paints if the motive is bigger with less detail, I loved everything you did,very classy!!

[@McGentry]

My husband went down to Lake Charles from DFW to work Security. Hope all was well.

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

The getting the town up and running again but I'm sure it going to take a few years. Long process

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Ok....I just ordered this crockery stamp set from IOD Sisters through the link you provided....(I hope they give you credit or a discount or something). I first saw you use them on the tea towels or stockings your cousin made (in red) and loved them instantly. I wouldn’t hate seeing you use them in other thrift flips. Just sayin....Hurricanes are no joke. I grew up on Cape Cod in New England, been thru a few. Powerful, scary, yet majestic. Lake Charles did get hit hard, It’s sad how the news quickly forgets about these devastating events after a couple of days. Here’s to a better 2021. 🙏🏻

[@JuliesDesignsandSigns]

Yes, I have used the crockery stamps on lots of videos. I don't get a kick back but they should totally send me some free stamps 😉

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed watching. We just had another close call with Hurricane Sally but that one ended up turning away from us as well but that means everyone around us is getting hit.

shellac before sanding (especially knots) will prevent bleedthrough
