QUICKLY becoming...NO, make that BECAME....one of my FAV YT chnls!!! Thank you for sharing! And, because I feel like you share SO much, I'll share my FAV tip...although not a decor tip, it is my absolute fav crafting tip and that is to store your glue sticks in the freezer! It cuts WAY down on those annoying strings and does not affect the glue itself at all! I read this tip YEARS ago and have been using it ever since and pass it on whenever I get the chance! I store all my glue sticks in the freezer, on the door, from Gorilla Glue sticks, to fabric sticks, to glitter and colored glue sticks and even my Industrial, super huge, super heavy duty sticks are stored in there! =) Hope its a tip you can put to use! Thanks again for sharing so much

No way I could pick ONE of your ideas to thank you for. Each and every one is precious, and I know i will spend the rest of my days applying as many as I can to my family's abodes. Your style is uniquely and absorbingly YOU.

Hi Sherry. I don't see any project that I don't love!!! This style of video is my favorite! I love small or older items being remade. Your ideas are the most unique on KZread ❤️

I really love your channel. I was feeling depressed and watching you do makeovers of items really made me feel good and made me want to do things myself. Thank you for having such a great channel!!

I just found your channel the other day. What I especially love is how you show your collections and transformations. Last, but not least, is the enjoyment I get from listening to your tutorials. You speak softly and video your items slowly. Looking forward to the next one. TFS

I have watched this particular video a couple of times - usually just for inspiration!! Then I go and move something in my apartment. lol. I have made many candles over the years. A couple of tips are... Put an old nylon or knee high nylon over your hand and rub your candle or taper candle. It removes small bumps and nicks as well as accumulated dust and makes the candle shiny - provided you buff it enough with the nylon sock. Also for candles that are melting uneven or have set up uneven or have a nick or notch on them using a heat gun to smooth out the surface works well. I also have an old electric fry pan that i turn on low to melt the bottom of candles to make them even. Once I melt off a little wax I can even roll the candle in it, for a rough finish that makes the candle smooth again. Thanks Sherry!!

My cats and I watch your videos to listen to your beautiful smooth voice. It puts us to sleep it’s so calming.

I have an old outdoor lantern I haven't used and I was going to donate it to Charity, but after seeing what you did with yours, I am reconsidering giving it away. I am going to try to do the same. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!!

I have done the picture frames. I made 18 in white or black for my Granddaughters and Great grand daughters. Then I painted flowers with butterflies, put some flower peddles for wings and on the glass some more of them. Some little ants on the bottom going along. They are so so cute. Love all your work. Judith

I had to smile when you suggested moving items to different rooms to change things up. My mother grew up during the Depression and had to make do--a lot through her entire life. She always had winter and summer curtains and chair cushion covers, a habit she taught me. When I was first married in 1973, my late ex-husband, a cement truck driver, was always laid off in the winter when cabin fever would hit. Well, I would rearrange the living room furniture, put up clean curtains, and put the bedroom art in the lving room and vice versa as there was no money for redecorating then ! I still do that and have even purchased curtains that I can use for both the living room or bedroom! You have your bird print gallery; I have 17 Monets (some are only 4x4") in my robin's egg blue bathroom! I am currently using up some of my extra picture frames to make your Christmas song/carol framed pictures with greenery touch for my church Christmas bazaar and am very pleased with my results!

My favorite ones were making candles in unique containers and the lanterns. It's funny because when my husband comes home today he will discover an outside lantern inside as it hasn't worked for years and is located in a part of the yard that's unseen. I was already contemplating it and here I go......😄😄😄

Yay! Don’t get discouraged if you run into issues disassembling it. Every lantern is different. Just keep looking for screws and things to take off. I should have mentioned in the video that if a screw is rusty and stuck, spray some WD40 on it to loosen it up. Good luck!😀

I love the one with the pictures from books to go in picture frames. To tell the truth and nothing but the truth I love all of them.

My favorite thing was everything you did! I love how you recycle!

I love the repurpose and reuse aspects, today like the past depression of the 1920’s we all need to start doing this. It makes your home more precious and costs a little more than thoughtful effort. Thank you for the ideas!

The old outdoor lantern was my favorite. I have one on a post outside that hasn’t been used in years, and I’ve been looking for ways to reuse it.

And I just gave a big box of great picture frames to a local charity thrift store! Never fails!

I love the outdoor wall light revamped into indoor display piece...my favorite.

Lady, I LOVE the way you repurpose items for decor. I do that a little bit, but now you've inspired me to kick things up a notch...or three.😉 I'll be checking out more videos on your channel.👍🏻

Your creativity is amazing and inspiring! I loved the re-made jars, the metal boxes, the candle remaking, the paint cans! …thank you, Sherry!

I always have to watch at least three times. Once, just to see everything. Twice, to really concentrate and catch every detail. Third to take copious notes. Yours is the only channel I actually have a small notebook on. I write down every idea you share and what you used to achieve the finished piece. Everything from the sandpaper grit to the color of paint. Will you share where you find the printout pictures you use? For example the match jar label. I love Tuesday ❣️

Oh, my goodness, Gloria! I think you might be my favorite viewer! 🥰 I use the Graphics Fairy site a lot for vintage images. I also go to Pinterest and search for images. For the match jars, I search “vintage matchbox labels.” Once I find one I like, I add it to my photos.(Once you click on an image, you will see three dots next to the image. Click on the dots and “download image” is an option.) Because I use an iPad, I use the “Print to Size” app to size and print the image. If you have a PC or laptop, you could paste it into Word to size and print. Hope this helps!

From a retired chandelier- You can use a hairdryer or hot gun to smooth out the top of a candle or to help remove old wax from something. The perfumes in candles can transfer to foods cooked later, so a separate oven, or cleaning in between is best. 🙂

I love the idea of old bottles and the candles.

Well, I don't know..there was so much..but your clutter-bug ways I resonate with!! So, I guess that is my favorite. You turned clutter bugged people into believing that MAYBE they can get all their stuff organized so that it looks as nice as yours!! Thx! 🌄

I found a 1982 calendar which had lovely watercolour pictures of birds and used 4 complementary pics to replace set of pictures I had on my walls for years. A similar set of four in new frames would have cost me over $300, Thank you for the wonderful tips.

And I think she will like it when see the final result.

I liked the idea of putting ribbons on a few decor items. Simple but very effective☺️

What imaginative ideas! I like how you showcase certain techniques, and then it opens up a whole new world of ideas. While not really free, as some additional things need to be purchased to remake some items, they are inexpensive compared to buying new decor at a store.

I can date that lunchbox and thermos for you... I had one just like that in 1959 when I was in 4th grade, (sixty-three years ago). So that makes them genuine antiques...just like me!🥴

Thank you. Now I want to go shopping around my home for things to change up.
