Vintage Charm: 10 Christmas DIYs from Thrift Store Finds

[@SlimshadyVictoria]

AND.....Thank you for actually coming up with some different ideas that HAVEN'T been done a hundred times!

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Ditto

[@gary-rr7jp]

That cup idea was so great! Most people would have thrown it out, but you saw the beauty it could still provide, and saved it from a landfill.😁❤✌

[@BarbaraHay-n6m]

the use of the pastry cutter as a Christmas card holder is a clever and unique idea!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Barbara! 😀

[@sheriebumgarner7065]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@cathybailey6863]

Your out of the box imagination blows me away every video. ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you, Cathy!

[@connieward33]

I look forward to your videos every week.

[@susanmccoy1992]

I know I sound like a broken record, but you seriously never cease to amaze me with your creativity! I loved every project!!!

[@izabelasiczek3547]

I really believe that your diy ideas are BEST as I love recycling and hate being new soulless modern plastic items

[@jackieo8693]

Such beautiful designs...thank you! I especially liked the little bird nests and the mouse holding the thread in his mouth!

[@trinapemberton]

Me too!

[@maryfrancesbaker289]

You must lose sleep thinking up projects! I loved every one of them!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Mary! I actually sleep really well, but I do sometimes get ideas while trying to fall asleep. 😉

[@serenakoleno9338]

My best ideas are usually right when I wake up. ​@@CanterburyCottage

[@susanbaker6564]

👍 to me the pastry blender was the bomb diggity! All your creations are always gorgeous

[@aridupre]

I love that you added a snowy scene to the Snow-Proof shoe polish. 😄 So cute!

[@snowmanhubbard]

You are as creative as your creator, you get it from your Father. Such a joy to watch.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Yes, any creativity I have is a gift from God.

[@snowmanhubbard]

@CanterburyCottage , and those gifts bless many, myself included.

[@sandycook4140]

I love everything you do and if people don’t like glitter they don’t have to use it! You always do what you like ! That’s what makes your work so special,you one of the most talented crafters I’ve ever seen !

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Sandy! I’m not giving up glitter because it’s not really Christmas without a little glitter!

[@kimphilpin1062]

What on earth can I say,that could show just how brilliant all these crafts are on this video. AMAZING 😻.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you, Kim! You are a sweetheart! ☺️

[@lanet9442]

I have lots of these items so I’ll be making some of these. You’re helping us save items from the garbage dump! As always, items are AWESOME

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yay! Thanks so much, Lanet! Love saving old things!

[@11212lala]

You create things no one else does. At least no one I watch. I love the ideas you share. Inspired as always! ❤️🎄💚

[@PennyGarland]

I watch other decorating videos without the sound. I cant with yours because I like listening to you talk. Thank you for being such a joyful person.

[@michaelsnider2484]

I saw a comment from a "Glitter-Hater" on one of your recent videos. Rest assured, many of us actually support and enjoy glitter on projects!! Up with glitter! You go, glitter! And as for you, Our Dear Ms. Sherry: remember my daughter's wise words: " If you don't have at least ten people hating on you at all times, you need to up your game!"😊😅😂 Glitter rules! Yay, glitter! Glitter uber alles!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! You are so funny! Thanks for your support! Is it really Christmas without a little glitter? I taught high school English for many years, so I have heard it all and have developed thick skin. I try to come up with projects that all my viewers like, but I don’t let insults and criticisms bother me.

[@SD-nh5yr]

I do not understand why people have the need to be mean so rude about a craft channel...if you don't like what you see, stop watching, lol, or just do it your own way...geez..✌️

[@leonajohnson3849]

I enjoy your videos. You do you and never mind the others that do not appreciate your creativity.🤩

[@michaelsnider2484]

​@@CanterburyCottage You have to be careful. As you know from history, first they come for the glitter, next thing you know, it'll be the birds!! Noooo😱😱😱!!! 😅😂😊😂🐦🦢🕊🐦🐥🐤

[@nanaf3303]

Your ideas are wonderful. And unique

[@user-ly8wp7nh5c]

Sherry what amazing ideas you come up with!! Love every single one in every single video you share. They are all very outside the box ideas! So creative 🤩🥰 Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤ Be blessed 🙏🏼

[@mercytowers2221]

I love all your ideas. They are so unique and beautifully vintage. It’s so nostalgic of old Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing😊.

[@Jendarhan64]

They are all so CUTE! I think my favorites were the topiary in the lamp base, the tapestry tree, and the enamel kettle decoration. Oh my, such a lot of fun, unique, and quirky gifts! You just know what to do with all the .... things! I love it!

[@suebarnard1734]

I would just like to say don’t deny your inner sparkle. Sprinkle sparkly stuff all you want. We love you the way you are!

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas ands tips. I absolutely loved everything and I too, love repurposing items at Christmas. Lol, I used a white gravy boat that had a vintage look. I did very neutral colors of sparkly ( clear glitter) greenery a birds nest 🪹, green velvet ribbon and a bird I found at Hobby Lobby. I loved it but it sold for a gift for the lady’s neighbor. Watching you has really paid off.😊❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome, Margaret! That is such a lovely compliment! Your gravy boat sounds like something I would have loved! 🥰🪺

[@vickiok1]

Only 47 minutes since you posted this and both of the makeover pieces that I love most are gone! It’s ok because literally everything you created gave me inspiration to create my own. You have a gift! Thank you!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Vicki! I do think some viewers go to the store before watching the video, that is why they are gone already. But, making your own is even better!

[@buffalure3198]

So many good ideas. Your energy is unbounded.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! 😊

[@elizabethrocha975]

I was determined that I would pick only one favorite project, but I couldn't. I did, however, pick several favorites: the candle stick and mouse with the special candy cane touch, the brown leather softener container with the squirrel (oh, so cute), the Thermos arrangement, the oil lamp arrangement, and the green corner shelf. I did decide that I had favorites after all: the pastry blender decoration/card holder and the green enamel kettle embellished with fitting florals. You did it again, Sherry. I can see why you have a quarter of a million subscribers, a feat that is quite difficult. Congratulations, my dear friend. Your Virtual Neighbor, Liz

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Liz, you are such a sweetheart! Thank you so much for your kind words of support. I appreciate you so much!

[@martinaconroy2328]

Sherry they are all stunning . You did such a great job%

[@corinnetippit7983]

Pastry kneaders binto card display. Love it

[@atchy1050]

Every time I think you can’t do something more original you do! These crafts are the cutest things I’ve ever seen, especially that mouse holding the string! 🐭 💞

[@traceytansley1659]

My fav too, and the shelf turned Christmas tree 🌲

[@theresacarter1033]

Love them all, Sherry! Thanks T'rese

[@lindasmith5190]

Wow! The mouse holding the candy can by the string is brilliant.

[@d__extraordinary175]

Love your creativity 💙🙌🏽🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@shirleymalatino9474]

You are the MacGyver of crafting, I love watching all that you do, you are so very creative and talented.. I love the mouse holding the candy cane, and the snowman, especially the pin arms.

[@debsia8005]

I love how your mind works 🎉

[@aurorapicarella-mascia9638]

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. All is fixed. You are coming through in English loud and clear. Thank you for fixing this situation for me, and just to let you know... You are AMAZING! Love your ideas. I especially love your home makeovers. I need to hire you. Your home is so warm and cozy and inviting. Thanks again Sherry

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much for those kind comments, Aurora! Yay! I am so happy you can hear the real me, again! I really appreciate that you let me know about this issue, and I am glad that my YT manager was able to fix it!!!

[@shoans3897]

Some very original ideas, love the idea with the pillow on the spindle leg.😮❤

[@lindadrendel2790]

These are all adorable! LOVED the snowman! I was thrifting today and I saw several pieces that I know you would love! I found myself thinking, “I wonder what Sherry would do with THAT!” 😊 Blessings!

[@CarolynS.Cooper-io4jw]

Love your projects ! So talented !

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Carolyn!

[@loisvreeland7623]

Yay! Thank you so much, Terry! ☺️

[@ChristineDuval-cy5ck]

I love the ornament tree from the pillow fabric.

[@BuffyLittle-ch2rw]

Oh my, the adorable mouse holding the string is making me smile. Very creative!

[@barbaradzitko1826]

Wonderful as always, Sherry. Great idea for the corner shelf.

[@alanalynk8067]

Sherry, another wonderful video! I just purchased the tree shelf!

[@debbiestyer453]

Sweet and clever projects...esp love the pillow to tree piece....

[@meeperbird]

Very unique! My favorite is the enamel tea kettle arrangement!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Meeperbird!

[@SylviaMeyer-t2u]

Tous tes projets sont incroyables, étonnants, mignons et adorables 🫶😍👏👍👌😀 J'attend toujours avec beaucoup d'impatience la sortie de tes vidéos et à chaque fois je suis surpris de ta créativité et imagination 🙋

[@kriswidman429]

Darling! The ideas with the crochet thread! The tea cup saved and made into a nest!

[@gailhannon5794]

Oh my. They are all lovely! My favorites are the tapestry tree, the broken teacup, and the teapot! Thank you for sharing!🎉

[@kayjongsma4485]

I never tire of watching you make lemons into lemonade!❤

[@cinder8290]

Those were all super cute projects, but my favourite one was the last one. The corner shelf made into a tree. Thank you for all these wonderful ideas.

[@LynnStone-s1t]

Thank you for all your inspirational ideas! Making "something from nothing" is the best!

[@katherinepereira9088]

This video proves it. You are Rumpelstiltskin! You can turn straw into gold! My two favorites are the oil lamp topiary and the vintage shelf Christmas tree. However, the most creative was the use of the pastry blender - holy cow! Truly amazing!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

I like the pastry blender!

[@stacia6655]

The brass lamp turned into a topiary was absolutely beautiful. What a great idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! I’m so glad you liked that project, Stacia! ☺️

[@roygarcia4176]

You’re just amazing!!! Your imagination is incredible!!! Every time, I laugh out loud, because we have so many of the same things…. I have that exact pillow, and couldn’t think of what to do with it… I’m going to use your idea!!!

[@loumac]

Love the bird in the cup decoration. Going to have a go at that. 😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Have fun!

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Love the vintage kitchen utensils. The pastry cutter is super. I’ve been collecting vintage utensils for a time now with the idea of using them in Christmas decor. The enamel pitcher is awesome.

[@galemurphy5497]

Omg.....the tapestry tree with the spindle. Love love love that.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Gale! I don’t know if I mentioned it in the video, but that pillow only cost $1.50!

[@mikki3961]

How serendipitous! Your video popped up as I was taking out some rescued teacups to craft with! I love using old containers, tins and china as vessels or dioramas. Enjoyed this weeks offerings very much, thank you.

[@PamelaPhillips-t5j]

WOW, I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT~~NO glitter, I am so proud of you girlfriend!!! These items looked so much more classy than the shiny stuff and I am sure your lungs benefited from not inhaling it too. 10 out of 10 today for you...Loved the corner shelf idea as a tree shelf.

[@pepitapulgarcita5051]

Yes ❤❤❤ and I love the colors Red, Greens, natural elements 🎉❤❤

[@RadBadJodster]

TY Sherrie! Your store is great, and all the projects I wanted were sold out! Yay!!! Good for you! 👏👏🧡🤎🧡

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Thank you for checking out my little store. Some viewers go to the store before watching the video; that is why the DIY projects are already gone.

[@RadBadJodster]

@ I’m not that bright! 😂 The main thing is they sold!!! 👍

[@jhohnke]

I discovered your site while visiting my sweet friend, who is a fan of yours, while visiting her in Alabama I'm back home in Colorado now, and you're one of my favorites. You have such a creative mind.

[@jansusanjennafletcher1712]

Once again you have shown us a wide variety of creative DIYs for the Holidays! There are many favorites- but the tapestry Christmas tree on the spindle struck me as the perfect addition to the holiday spirit. I envision a fantastic forest of festively festooned fabric trees in many shapes and sizes and made from amazing thrifted pillows, gowns and curtains to name a few sources! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Beautiful, wonderful ideas every single one! Love them all for their uniqueness and beauty. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much, Sarah! 😊

[@grannygarden5887]

ahhh the pastry blender christmas card holder idea was my favorite , hands down. what a vintage episode. love love and thank you for bringing merry to my life.

[@SparksofJoyStudio]

I love the snowman and the mouse with spools! Adorable 🥰

[@Elizabeth-arb22]

I love everything you created! My favorite is the Wedgewood teacup ornament with the bird nest and bird in it! You brighten my day with your inspiring, upbeat videos. Merci beaucoup!

[@diggingmary129]

I LOVED every single one of these ideas!!! My husband isn’t going to see me until Christmas, I’ll be in my craft room!! 😂 ❤ 🎄

[@melbabowen4389]

❤FANTASTIC PROJECTS. I love Snow-tex as well!!❤❤. Glass glitter like diamond dust would be subtle but sparkly on top of the Snow Tex.

[@jackiedavis3737]

I am loving the little mouse in the string spool. Just adorable.😊

[@bonnierainwater4484]

All great transformations. But I especially like the topiary makeover, and the broken cup ornament.

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

All these projects are perfect!

[@kring7665]

The snowman from old crochet spools would be a whimsical gift for a seamstress and I love the pastry blender recipe holder!

[@sweetbee52]

I never in a million years would come with the ideas you do. The last one with the shelf was brilliant! 🤯😳♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you, Sweet Bee! You are so very kind! ☺️

[@SCYFY123]

The enamel kettle floral arrangement is stunning and definitely my favorite in this video. Everything you have transformed is wonderful as always.

[@lauriehuber3040]

The corner shelf! 💚💚💚 what a perfect transformation. So useful and definitely a year round piece.

[@LoriFoster-s4n]

Love the corner shelf repurpose

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yay! Thanks, Lori! (I was worried some viewers would think I had ruined it.)

[@serenakoleno9338]

​@@CanterburyCottagenot at all. They will be flying off the thrift store shelves. Along with oil lamp bases and crochet thread 😂

[@janereed4036]

I love them all! The music is the best

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! I struggle finding free and copyright free music, but luckily most holiday music is really old!

[@midgethorn4083]

Love the snowman. I can do that! Everything is delightful!

The snowman is precious! ⛄️

[@nonisnest9718]

First I must say that I love your multi color sweater! Next, I could not choose a favorite project, they are all wonderful.

[@user-Gr8JuJu]

I love the idea of using your broken tea cup as an ornament. I have several small children's tea cups that are not broken that I will turn into Christmas ornaments for my tree. Thanks for the idea!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! Children’s teacups will be perfect!

[@debreno7734]

Thank you for sharing your giftings with us, Sherry. The fabric Christmas trees were my favorite this week!

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Oh man!! I gave away a corner shelf just like that!! Now I wish I had it back. You have such a great imagination and great style.

[@PellyjellyMom]

I can’t begin to pick a favorite! You have the best ideas and things we can try on our own. Can’t wait to see what more you have in store.

[@cyndybeller1306]

Finished the video and fell more and more with your ideas. Especially turning the corner shelf into a free standing display!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Cyndy! I’m so glad you liked the shelf. I was afraid viewers would say that I ruined it.

[@inkydinkydoodle]

Ms. Sherry, You are my vintage-upcycle-decor HERO. 😊 You have absolutely original and unique ideas that are so beautifully executed. And how lucky are we that you share your talent so generously! Thank you so much for inspiring me and others with truly wonderful Christmas ideas that will make family history. ❤ ~Kelly
