Today, I will take on the challenge of upcycling items that no one else wanted from the Goodwill Outlet. As you know, the Goodwill Outlet is a treasure trove of items that didn't sell at regular Goodwill stores and are sold at a lower price by the pound. It's a great way to score some amazing deals, but it can also be overwhelming to see piles of seemingly useless things. That's where creativity and upcycling come in!
In this video, I'll show you some of my recent finds from the Goodwill Outlet and how I transformed them into unique creations. From broken ceramics, a lid with no pot, and a broken basket, to a rusty mailbox (and many more), I'll demonstrate how a little imagination and some basic DIY skills can turn trash into treasure.
You'll see how I cleaned, painted, and repaired some items, repurposed others for new uses, and combined different pieces to make something entirely new. Whether you're a seasoned upcycler or just getting started, this video will inspire you to see the potential in discarded items and to turn them into something beautiful and useful. So grab your glue gun and let's get started! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to my channel for more upcycling ideas and tutorials.

The way you fixed up that fairy with the broken wing! Very pretty.
I loved that you took all these unusual unwanted pieces to upcycle and turned them all into something beautiful. So individual and unique. You have a wonderful gift for creative and original ideas. And the talent to realise them.

Thank you! 😊 Isn’t it funny that the “after thought” project ended up being one of the best? (I started to throw away that basket.)
I have a large angel that is missing a wing as well. I think I'll take Sherry's idea of simply breaking off the other wing. I've kept it for years wondering what i could do with it. Glad to see that Sherry's idea turned out beautiful.

Good morning. You are the queen of creativity. Loved all of these - the butterfly branches in the candle-holder is so creative. Loved the transformation of the fairy candle holder and the darling little rabbit basket. The clock project was amazing! I love the idea of using the mailbox instead of a wreath for your front door. I will keep my eyes open for a mailbox the next time I go thrift shopping. Lastly, one of the simpler projects that I just loved was the salt container. You have given me so many ideas! I always look forward to your videos!
Your cute shop has sold most pieces you show today, good for you! I loved some of them, but even though I didn't get something, it's nice to think that followers here have kept these pieces 'in the collective whole family'. Also a big thanks for the new shipping policy, it really helps to know postage up front.

All of your Upcycled projects are beautiful. You are so very creative. Just as an FYI, very little of what is not sold at the bins ends up on the landfill. I know this because I wotked at Goodwill for years. Items not sold at the bins get a third chance to be sold. These are broken down into recyclable categories. Purse, shoes and leather belts, etc get recycled. Other items that get recycled are glass, metal, plastics,paper, and textiles. Clothing is also sold at a very low price per pound to places that recycle them. A lot of clothing is donated to churches or sent to third world counties. Good will prides itself in throwing away as little as possible.
I love the transformation of that little fairy was amazing!
I LOVE the old mailbox!
