DIY Christmas Challenge: 12 Thrift Flips Using Goodwill Clearance Outlet Finds!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I challenged myself to use a suitcase full of non-Christmas items purchased at a Goodwill Clearance Outlet (and the suitcase itself) to DIY Christmas home decor. The items include a metal votive candle wall decor, a vintage wood level, an odd angled drawer, a placemat, alphabet blocks, a velvet pillow sham, a silver sugar bowl missing its lid, a brass bowl, a pink flower, a small faux succulent, a cork frame, a book missing its cover, and a glass vase. I hope you’ll watch the video to see the Christmas decor I created from this hodge Podge of items!

Awesome, my favorites are the pink flower arrangement and the drawer nativity scene. The suitcase was cool, but my love of vintage luggage was saying oh no. I have several suitcases and a couple of make-up travel cases, I use the suitcases to store my paperback books that I haven't read yet. Before the pandemic, we had a place called the Clothes Closet, where you could fill your brown paper bags for $3 so I am well stocked in reading material. The elderly ladies that ran it closed up, I am so sad, sometimes I found some really nice treasures. Anyway, I enjoyed watching you create, thank you.
