TRASH TO TREASURE DIY THRIFT STORE HOME DECOR FLIP

[@lisagrafton2529]

The good thing about the pieces still being flexible, when you remove the from the molds, if you don't let them dry hard, in the molds, you can set then on a curved edge of where you want to glue them, and they'll dry into the curve they need to have, to fit snug on things like a cup, cloche, or any curved surfice.

[@micheledickey4066]

These turned out sooo beautifully as always!! I have been binge watching your videos and I just can’t get over your creativity. It looks like the dress form has some kind of shiny “stuff” on it. I think if you had lightly sanded it everything would have stuck better.

I wanna just thank you for putting the before/after pictures in the "thumbnail" of your videos. I love your projects and lots of times need to go back and revisit them later for instruction.

I heard but have not tried yet, when decoupaging, use a plastic piece like a bag or saran wrap and you can easily smooth wrinkles.

[@lauraleederos5850]

And the bird cage

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Thank you so much, LauraLee!!! XOXO I really appreciate that!!!

[@shoshonnaissachar5927]

Just seeing your channel, you do wonderfully creative things. One hint (because I was urging you throughout your decoupage trial!!!) Hon, decoupaging with ModPodge is 99% easier if you tear your pieces and yes, smaller is better, but when you tear the paper instead of cutting, the edges seem to "feather" into one another. Take it from an old lady who started "mod podging" back in the sixties!!! Smile.....no worries, everything was gorgeous in the long run!!

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Thanks so much for sharing that tip! I appreciate that and I will give it a try! Thanks Again and You have a WONDERFUL weekend!

There are the greatest creation’s. Also loved the dress form ( my mind went totally blank as what it’s called) Super idea putting on that tissue newspaper designs n putting it on that 99 cent candle stand. Loved it!!!

I kick my self in the behind for getting rid of all my hoops. I could of made a bunch of those spears. I’ll keep my eye for some more n this time I’ll keep them.

[@denisepope8599]

Wouldn’t a spoon help you get the mold clay out of the containers better or is there a reason why you can’t use a spoon against the clay. A brayer would help you with smooth out your clay in the mold and cut out the excess and a credit or the circuit spatula would do. Things I have witnessed other crafters use. Non skid mat would be great under the dress form to keep it from moving around so much.

[@trinapatterson8872]

Shame on you Kelly for opening your paint with your scissors…. Lol Great projects!!!

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

Great job on all but I think your mod Podge was a bit too thick or you didn't have enough on the bottom. You need to really saturate your bottom layer so the paper will get really wet. Sometimes it even helps to wrinkle your paper up, which softens it, so it will be much easier to lay. But if the glue on the bottom isn't evenly layered, you will have air pockets. I just adore your work, love your videos, love your talent!

[@susanludlum2385]

I love recycling!! Thank you. I was in a Flea Market Store today and they had all kinds of project items. The darn minute I walked in I started looking at stuff and my mind went blank as to what I needed to start a project. I found 3 bags of corks $2 a bag. I grabbed them up right away. I need to remember not to go crazy when I walk in a place. Any suggestions?

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Hi Susan! OH...that's AWESOME you went out thrifting...it's one of my favorite things to do!!! I love recycling, too! You are so funny when you wrote..."your mind went blank"! LOL Sometimes...I have to stop and think...."Alright, what are you really going to do with this?!?!" It's easy to go crazy because you can have a flood of ideas but just think about the amount of return on an item. Is it going to require too much time to recycle? Is it more time than what the item is worth? Otherwise you can get so much stuff and be overwhelmed! Some things I need to pass up because they just aren't worth all the effort needed to make them work. That will help in deciding whether or not to purchase something. Hope that helps! XOXO

[@deebeckham4754]

Put in corks in your description on KZbin or Pinterest and watch videos for info. Same way with any project. I usually save things of interest , especially Pinterest. I save them by category’s like jewelry, tea cups, etc. I review my files once in awhile.

[@ransomdaniels8395]

Just za thought, but you maybe could have put a wooden ball, painted, with one area sanded flat to match the dressform botto and glue it down firm,y. The other side is round to fit the curve of the top of the candlestick, so glue that into the center. It would give the inserted ball the look of being the center of a flower and the dress form growing out of it. Less work for you. Love the channel and watch you religiously!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Hi Kelly. Hope you guys are safe and well. Do you get a lot of cracking once your clay dries? And how important is it to keep your clay supplies airtight?

I was a bit sad that you painted the existing birds, but I understand they were not your style. Bless you are your mom

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Hi Fiona! The Magic Sculpt never dries up, until you mix two equal parts of it together.

I actually use both...but, I probably use the resin more. The reason I use resin is because it is so durable. I make all my furniture applique pieces out of it so that I don't have to worry if a piece gets knocked around that the applique piece is going to break. Also, I make finished pieces and sell them on Etsy....so, for all my finished appliqué pieces I use the resin, as well because there is less chance of them getting broken in transport.
