I have covered cushions in the same way but duck taped the back to help keep it in place. When you want to change, it just comes right off and doesn’t hurt the cushion or materiel. I learned this from decorator Christofer Lowell years ago. 😊

Mary, you're one of my favorite artists on KZread. Love, love, love all of your creations. You are much appreciated!

My husband's parents owned an upholstery shop. They always used an electric bread knife to cut foam. I see them in the thrift shop fairly often. Might be worth a try. Keep up the lovely work!

I was going to say the same thing! I used an electric knife to cut foam to make positioning bolsters. It cuts through foam like soft butter!

My husband does upholstery as a side job! That is what he uses! That chair and striped fabric were beautiful! My husband often uses a layer of fiber fill! It’s in a sheet! That gives the foam a soft look! It’s just our preference to do it that way! Your cushion looks grew and I love it all! The chair is so beautiful and I love the white pillow you added! Great job!

Mary, remember next time you're in the thrift store go to the kitchen tools and find your electric knife for cutting foam. You'll love it cuts like butter.

oh Mary. What I would give to have one more shopping day with my Mom. How blessed you are!

The cart was truly a trash to treasure! With your wood working skills just about anything can be saved. We saved a wicker loveseat from someone's trash at the curb & now it's on our front porch. I would have bought the mirror too.

That idea of slats is Brilliant!! Totally surprised me 😀

You are so good at thrifting old things & turning in to something so lovely!!

I absolutely love all your finds today. It was wonderful to see that brief look at your mother. I do have to say the mug set was my favorite.

Suggestion, Mary. I've temporary wrap covered foam cushions with fabric several times, and I use some duct tape on back to temporarily secure it. Works great, and comes off just fine! I also found that wrapping the foam with a thin white batting helps the fabric look better, more cushy, less stiff, and foam color won't show through. Love your chair and cushion!💚🤍💚

Mary, your vision for making things fresh a new always amazes me.

Mary, I own two of those exact wicker chairs! I purchased them at least 45 years ago and was told by the elderly owner that they had been in her family since the early 1900s! Next time we re-paint them, I’ll use a pressure washer to remove the excess paint. Thanks for that information! Love your videos!

I am always impressed at your ability to have a vision for each piece, subtracting and adding as needed, seeing beyond the initial surface and use. Very pleasing to watch and enjoy the end result.

I could almost hear that wicker chair sigh with relief once you began washing and painting it. 😊

Mary, I use an electric handheld meat cutter that I thrifted to cut foam. Easy peasy 😊

Really liked how you put the barnwood in as shelves in the lil table. Always love your projects. Thanks for sharing!

I've been following you for several months now, I really like almost everything you transform. Today you were unique in your summer clothes - you also transformed beautifully, I couldn't take my eyes off your transformation. In the spring, we both planted so-called frozen strawberry seedlings. How are you did they grow and bear fruit? Just a little for me, but now they have grown. I wish you a lot of joy from your sons, a still pleasant husband and a healthy mother.Dear Ms. Mary thank you very much for the inspiration to keep even old and worn things.

Wow I love that cart, what an upgrade! My daughter has one of those in her pantry that she keeps her potatoes and vegetables in, it has wire baskets. Someone must have donated the cart and kept all the baskets.

Thanks for the great ideas Mary! Everything turned out beautifully as usual!

I was skeptical when I saw the bar cart at first, but was amazed once it was done. You sure have an eye Mary. The dress looks adorable on you. Glad you had a nice mother daughter day. Love your KZread channel.

Oh Mary, these projects are so inspiring, you’re so creative and your projects are so tasteful and useful , such a sweet Mom you have too, sooo enjoy your videos from 🇨🇦❤️

love that take time to enjoy the Lord's gifts to us such as a visit from a bird.

I love when you do the "Thrift Store Challenge". Does your mind ever slow down? Your dress is very pretty on you. Thank you for your videos and allowing us into your home. Karen in North Carolina

Mary, the beverage cart is so sweet! And the chair was in great condition, turned out so pretty, I would have loved it in red!!! You look so pretty in the cute dress, perfect fit too!❤❤

Every time I watch Mary it makes me want to go finish my unfinished projects! You’re awesome Mary! I want to go thrifting with you!

Mary, you have such wonderful vision to turn pass offs into lovely useable items. Love your videos. 💞

love the wicker chair! Keep in mind that an old electric knife works great on cutting foam. YOu can usually pick one up at goodwill for a few dollars. great video!

Painters tape could be used for additional hold on temporary fabric placement too 🌸

Everything came out great! You always have such a gift for repurposing an item.

That table will probably come in very handy. Smart idea. Glad you got to visit with your mom! Thrifting really is a lot of fun😂. Your projects always turn out spectacular!!

Hi Mary. I love all your projects. An electric kitchen knife will cut right through any foam you need for future projects. You can probably find one at one of the thrift stores. Thank you for all your inspiring work!

You rehabbed each piece to perfection! I really like the idea of those water transfers, so thank you so much for passing that info on to us. Will have to look for those and try them out.

The note board was absolutely perfect, can’t wait to try those water transfers!! Also you made the cushion simple and easy for the wicker chair❤. Thank you again and again for giving all of us your talented gift of designing old and used to new and gorgeous!

Mary, that dress looked like it was made for you. I really like it. The color is beautiful and springy and happy. It looks really good on you. I'm the 73 soon to be 74. Great Grandma that watches you all the time. Keep up the good work. I love what you do I wish I could come out to see you sometime but I don't think I'll ever be able to make it with my health. But I can watch You on KZread.

The dress looks lovely on you.😅you did a great job on the chair and cover.

Mary, you are so much fun. I love watching your videos. Your crafting, ideas, talent is stunning! Thank you for sharing your ideas. You’re truly inspiring! I love the dress you got for $2.00! It looks amazing on you! I also love that you go to church so you just be a JESUS GIRL!! 🤗😁♥️ You’re precious and you’re a blessing. 🙏🏼

Mary all of your projects came out so beautiful. Our Goodwill has raised their prices so high you don’t feel like you are thrifting any more. I was excited to find a beautiful old linen table cloth on a half price day for $1.50. Great bargain. Love all your videos. 💕💕💕💕

I absolutely love your videos ❤

Could you have put a couple of the original pieces you knocked off under the top shelf (since you left the other two for braces) and made a space to slide stemmed glasses through? That might be pretty as well. Such beautiful work!

Love that dress!! It fits you so well ❤

Attention to possibilities is so you! The chair, the beverage cart, the message center were worth saving and transforming! Love what you did with the cups!

I love seeing wicker chairs coming back to life! The sstriped fabric is perfecr for a cushion!! The beverage cart is perfect now !!

I was shocked that you left your handbag in the trolley. If we did that in South Africa it would be gone in a flash! I love your videos. Thanks

Love everything you found Mary. The wicker chair and the pretty fabric turned out great. You have such vision for all the things. Thank you for sharing your finds!!

All the make-overs came out great! Love the beverage cart. Mine is for vegetables and prepping food. TFS.😊❤

I stop anything and everything I’m doing when I see your back…I’m addicted!!! You have the best visions for thrifted items! Thank you for sharing this great video! 🍁🧡🍂

Great ideas Mary! I had wished you would have gotten that fireside basket. I have one and have plans to paint it but hoping to see how yours turned out and your uses. I had a wicker rocker for approximately 40 years, the last 20 on my covered front porch. It finally disintegrated that wasn’t safe to sit in but how I enjoyed that chair! Have a great rest of the week🍁🌻🍂

Good mourning sweet Mary. I so love your down to earth personality and creativity. Loved seeing your sweet momma. I would love to find a little island cabinet for my small kitchen.💕

Just LOVE the items you redid Mary as always, and the second you picked up those latte cups I was thinking WE ALL know a lady named Mary who would know how to make EPIC candles outta those for a coffee bar, that DRESSSSSSSS is everything on you so beautiful and you cant even buy the fabric for 2 bucks,love seeing what you thrift and thrifting also,a BIG hello from Ontario,Canada.

All so beautiful. God has graced you with a wonderful talent.

Lovely makeovers, Mary. Also, I really love your new-to-you dress. It fits you perfectly and is so pretty! ♥

Just commenting because I know it helps your channel Mary-others have already said that electric carving knives are fantastic for cutting cushion foam. If you can't find one, a new big serrated bread knife works well also. I also cover raw foam with a layer of cotton quilt batting before putting on the fabric. It helps round over and sharp edges of the foam a little-a professional upholsterer taught me that. Everything was beautiful today as always, but i think the beverage cart was my very favorite. Blessings to you and your family Mary!

I use an electric knife to cut foam. It works well and I usually see the knifes at goodwill. 👍😊 Love the videos ❤

I was going to suggest that too, electric knife the kind used to carve a turkey at Thanksgiving. I tried it out & it works, use with caution of course.

Love how the little cart turned out.

That dress looks so cute on you 😉 Love your finds and how you transformed them ❤

That dress is adorable. It fits you well. I like the coffee cart and mirror too.

That beautiful wicker chair……….you must know me by now……’and that cat!!!’

I can’t believe how fantastic everything turned out. You are so good at seeing the possibilities of these finds! I wish I had a goodwill next door to a planet fitness like the one you visited. It would make me want to go workout more and then thrift!

You have a great eye for flipping things in to something cute and useable! The cart is my fave…those candles are adorable in the cups!!

I love all that you do and have done creatively. It’s your gentle and much needed calming voice that is loved and admired. ❤

The beverage cart….oh my word! How you can spot something at a thrift store and envision what it will look like in the end, I’ll never know! 😅 But it turned out totally adorable!!! It’s my favorite makeover!

The cart would be great as an island table in my future tiny house.

Everything looks really great. The wicker chair looks brand new. Love the cart.

As always, I'm delighted to spend my time watching your creative mind at work.

Mary, you are so creative.🙋‍♀️ I live that you can spray white paint in a black skirt, and never spill a drop.🤭 Now, that's talent.

The best tool for cutting foam is an old electric knife. Good luck on all your projects. 😊

Oh, the little saw for cutting the foam was a clever solution!

I admire you so much. You use your amazing talent and have so much patience!

I think your "frugal" mind works wonders! Not everyone would/could "see things as they could be...not as they are". A real gift. The money you save is a credit to you!!! Carry On!

Everything you do turns out amazing 🤩. The dress looks lovely on you. Always find your videos so relaxing to watch 💕

Love your talents, Mary ! Your mother surprised me when she easily lifted that little cart. 😊 Where has Pebbles been ? Haven’t seen her in the last few videos.

Love all the projects and your imagination in bringing them back to life. I thought for sure the wicker chair was a goner, and it looks absolutely beautiful now. Enjoy fall in OH! I'm in SW OH and we're just seeing the leaves turn.

You look absolutely beautiful in that yellow and white dress! ❤ love all your projects this week, thanks for sharing.

That dress was perfect for you. Loved your makeovers.

I loved all the projects but the beverage cart was my favorite! I loved the white with the old barn wood!

Hello Mary!!! Love your thrifting treasures!!!. The dress is so pretty!!! And the beverage cart I love!!!! The chair is a timeless treasure for sure!!! You do a fabulous job transforming thrifted furniture!!! Take care God bless!!!!

I love the thought and imagination you put into each of these items.

Love the wicker chair, so smart, and the cushion transfer is just right. Never thought about using old mugs as candle holders for your business. Quite cheeky. Do take care.

You looked so pretty in your little yellow flowered dress! You need to model more often! Loved all your up cycles❣️❣️

Mary as always. ...beautiful makeover to a thrifted items!! blessings to your talents!

Mary you definitely have an eye for creativity and what you can do with these various items. The dress looks great on you and it fits you perfectly! ❤❤

Wow Mary, you turn everything you touch into beauty. I love the sweet mockingbird Annabelle. Critters are so smart and they know who they can trust.

Mary, next time you’re at a Goodwill get an electric kitchen knife. I bought mine for $.25 at the Goodwill and use it to cut my foam. Works awesome. Thanks for sharing your makeovers.

Oh Mary, your new dress looks so beautiful on you. Yes, and your viewer’s that adore your channel do know now what you like. Thank you again. 😊

Chairs lookin' midy fine from Austin Texas, and Molly Brown and K-Lee 🌈🐕‍🦺👍

Давно смотрю ваш канал, очень нравится то, что вы делаете. У вас дар от Господа превращать старые вещи в эксклюзивные

Mary, you are such a lovely woman! And your creativity is inspiring!!

Mary you are so talented. Love your new dress; you look so lovely & elegant.

Everything you do is truly trash to a beautiful treasure. You have a good eye for turning one thing into something totally new and different. Well done!!!

When you cut foam, use an electric meat cutter. It's what the fabric stores use too. You will be amazed! It doesn't need to be expensive.

I had to laugh at the picture of the wicker chair and the cat. If he/she is anything like my cats he's just waiting to sink her claws into that wicker. Mine love this kind of chair.

I just love your makeovers. That bar cart was my favourite but I loved all of them. And that dress looks darling on you!

Ok! STOP RIGHT THERE! Lol. I usually wait till the end of your videos to comment but watching you completely TRANSFORM the now beverage cart has me 🤯!!!!! That is an insane transformation!!❤❤❤❤❤ I NEED that in my life! 😂
