Trash to Treasure | Thrift Store Makeover | Painted Silver Serving Pieces

[@kindashabby]

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve ever painted? Thank you for watching and I’ll see you again Friday evening!

[@margoreally1]

I guess you get to keep your accusation up but I wasn't being snarky. I told you how to make something functional and more valuable than a decoration that looks like a waste of a precious metal and a functional food product. Those are also more expensive than what you turned them into which is counter productive in a way. Again, I don't feel like helping you with constructive comments and getting your type of comments back so hopefully you will realize that those type of things don't look that good to some people the ones that might by those products and use them for what they are meant for.

[@Blessedgirl1955]

Those are so beautiful. I have begun collecting old silver pieces (not real silver) and was thinking of painting a few pieces. Loved the risers. Now I know I need to look out for these type pieces as well. Thanks.

[@kindashabby]

I’m so glad these projects were helpful to you, Charlotte! Thank you for watching!

Those risers look amazing! So cute. The tea pot is also adorable! Great upcycle.

Beautiful transformation of old silver pieces.

[@kindashabby]

Thank you Patty! I just love upcycling old, broken silver pieces and I’m so glad you like them!

[@maryheckler6766]

These pieces are gorgeous! You taught me to look at tarnished silver totally differently!

[@kindashabby]

Thanks, Mary! It seems there is always a bunch of it whenever I go thrifting. It’s even cheaper when it’s broken!

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

Brilliant idea to use those chargers as tiered trays I love this idea I always pass up those Chargers because I think they are not very practical but now I think I'll be on the lookout for them great ideas

[@kindashabby]

Thanks! They were in my craft closet for a few years. When I decided to start my channel I thought they would be a cute project.

This is exactly what I was looking for. A few months ago I passed up on a tea pot just like yours with out the lid. I regretted not buying it. So a few weeks ago I found another one and purchased it.. I want to paint it but I just didn't know how to go about doing it. I'm glad I found your channel.

I’m so glad you found this video useful, LB! I know your teapot will be lovely.

I like Plaster too. I couldn't find white one day and bought Plaster. I have never looked back. I want to do this successfully soooo much. I have some "silver" pieces but I can never find any with any detail. They're all smooth.

[@kindashabby]

I agree, Brooke; Plaster is such a beautiful color! You may be able to add details yourself with small wood beads, ribbon with pearls, or air dry clay appliqués. Thank you so much for watching!

[@beverlylones9552]

The silver pieces are absolutely gorgeous! I didn’t know you could paint silver items! I love using the bottom pieces to use as risers, so beautiful! I also, think the picture is stunning! They are very elegant!💕😊🌸🌼

Thank you Beverly! I’m actually filming another painted teapot project for next week’s video. I can find them pretty cheap at my local thrift store, so I like to keep a few on hand. I appreciate you watching and I’ll see you next weekend!

[@cheribower1266]

Hi! Ya know the lid used to always get stuck so L wipe the glue off the & put Vaseline on it alone! Works pretty good!!

[@kindashabby]

Hi Cheri! I had another viewer share the same tip a few months ago. You gals are right; it works like a charm! Thanks for watching and have a great week!

[@Oblate2023]

All the pieces turned out beautiful! It's amazing how much of the details came out on each item after you destressed them! Love it! 💕

[@kindashabby]

Thank you Joan! It really is amazing how a little bit of paint can transform just about anything.

[@daisyndenton]

Love this idea! I think it might work with brass also. I see more brass than silver here in North Texas. Can’t wait to try it!!

[@kindashabby]

Thank you Daisy! I’m sure it would work on brass as well and be beautiful. I’m glad you’re here; happy crafting!

[@crystalparker2542]

Brass is VERY popular right now in some places though. Id try selling brass as is first before painting it. I will paint silver plated. But if you are selling the items, i would definitely post brass items as is ,then if they dont sell after a bit, you can still up cycle with paint. Just something to consider because brass happens to be popular right now

Looks so pretty I'm a hot mess while painting and very impatient that's why I use a heat gun and some good gloves cause on metal it get really hot great tutorials

[@kindashabby]

I have so many projects going at the same time, I don’t mind waiting on stuff to dry. I’ve used a hair dryer before if I had to speed up the process. Thanks again for watching!

[@christineb.w.1480]

Interesting! I do a lot of painting with chalkpaint, but I wouldn´t have thought that you can paint even silver with it! Great look, but in my opinion you should also have painted the bottom/underside of both pieces. Now it´s not possible to put it on a high board, shelf or a cupboard because everybody would see the original surfaces of both parts, and that´s not very classy. But I really like your videos nevertheless! Greetings from Germany

[@kindashabby]

Chalk paint works so well on so many different surfaces. Thank you for watching, Christine!

[@theresaarcher3667]

I learned from a couple other DIY’ers here on YT, to dip the glue tip in Vaseline so it wont stick shut when you close it.

[@kindashabby]

Great tip; gonna have to do that!

[@sunshinevibes4357]

I was going to suggest the very same thing. I do that and it is a game changer!

[@debraford213]

That teapot would of been a great piece to decoupage and use iod clay and molds around the decoupage.

[@kindashabby]

That’s a great idea! I have a few more and I may have to try that out.

[@CraftyandChic]

Very beautiful! Do you make the rose candle shown in the end?

[@kindashabby]

Thank you Valerie! Yes ma’am, I did make the candle. I printed the image from The Graphics Fairy onto tissue paper. Then I cut the image out and used a hair dryer to slightly melt it to the candle.

[@carriebeaver6285]

Dip the tip of the glue in Vaseline before you close it and it won't be hard to open later.

[@kindashabby]

Definitely going to do that, Carrie! I have several things that need some Vaseline to make them easier to open. Thank you for watching!

[@cindyrae2605]

Should've done both sides of the wood.

[@kindashabby]

Hi Cindy! I did go back off camera and complete the other side. Thanks for watching!

[@lauriedaley354]

Do you use a primer to make sure the paint doesn’t scratch off?

[@kindashabby]

Hi Laurie! I would use primer on any highly used items, but I do seal many of my décor pieces with either wax or poly acrylic.

[@susansewardfamily]

Just wondering why you wouldn’t do the bottoms of the wood and metal for a more finished product?

[@susansewardfamily]

Ok I see now further that you did do bottom of the wood😊

[@kindashabby]

Hi Susan! At first I thought the metal apron would be long enough to prevent the bottom from showing, but the underside had to be stained. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@viviantrainum9580]

Do prep with Mod Podge or is it not necessary?

[@kindashabby]

Hi Vivian! I don’t prep with Mod Podge if using Chalk Paint, as it adheres well to many different surfaces. Thank you for watching!

[@pepperbrown608]

Stick your glue tip into Vaseline before closing and it won’t be so hard to open

[@kindashabby]

Thanks for the tidbit, Pepper! I appreciate you watching!

[@ladycarolyn5545]

I polished my silver vase and was wondering id I could just coat hodge pode or a clear coat of some kind

[@margoreally1]

One of them was broken the other two were fine. You could have polished them with silver cream and had shimmery silver, found food containers that fit in the chafing dishes and purchased the heat sources for the bottoms. You would have had something more valuable than white paint over precious metal that makes them look cheapened to people that know what those are as well unusable for food.. That I saw them in this video and know that all they needed was a little polishing makes it worse.

[@kindashabby]

Actually Margo, what is worse are your snarky comments on a middle aged woman’s crafting video.
