I agree! It's adorable.

She looks like she is having fun and I love to see people upcycle rather than stuff ending up in landfills. If folks bought more recycled/upcycled items and passed on plastic, etc..we would all be better off for it. Good work!

What?? No way!! Don't pay any attention to those comments! You guys are BOTH amazing. I have watched each of you go through good times and bad. You are going through life just as you should. Sharing and taking care of each other.

I can't stress enough how you are probably the best and most true DIYer on KZread. I get so fed up and frustrated with the pretend ones that run to Dollartree and buy, say a sign, come back and just repaint that nice sign, spending $10-$20 to add a bobble or two, and then say, "I just love this and hope you do too"! Meanwhile they have just spent a fortune redecorating an already perfect piece, that cost $1 to begin with. That's not DIYing. That's just redecorating expensively and foolishly. A true DIYer takes nothing and creates something with little or no expense.And one of the best of all is the fact you're Canadian, in a predominately American field of wanna-bees. I now have a whole section in my notebook dedicated to your channel that is full of every helpful hint, hack and useful bit of information, and my New Year's Resolution for 2024 is to watch every one of your videos. Here I go, and please keep those videos coming. ❤️❤️❤️ (🇨🇦😉)

Totally agree! I recently ran across my first video and have binge watched for days!

I just want to thank you for keeping your projects on household items, homemade and budget friendly, I've lost interest in other crafting channels because they start using brand names. I understand they get promo, so typically it's out of budget for most. You continually keep your projects so that anyone can do it! And your work is beautiful if not way better than the fancy brand names! Absolutely love your channel 🎉❤

Hi hi from Johannesburg south Africa. Love your upcycle ideas.

Love all of them. My mom taught my sister & I that thrifting is like treasure hunting. We have now taught our kids. I have things that my mom upcycled that are dated that I've upcycled. Helps me feel close to her. Ty for some wonderful ideas. Merry Christmas

With any can of paint if you take a nail and bang holes in the groove of the can the paint will go back into the can and you'll have a lot less waste and it will be a lot cleaner when you go to put the cap back on. Best hack I ever got

The trivet on your plant stand on the bottom is actually a little tiny tabletop they used to have carved legs that would fit they were hinged together Pier One sold those many many years ago I know because I had several😊

I love the strainer idea for the plant only thing is in Houston the twine would not hold up it would eventually rot from the rain you would have to use more of a nylon or something to have it hold up in our weather😊

@@OurUpcycledLifejust got to your pottery comment! Ceramics was my favorite elective classes at the Junior College! Check into the Raku technique firing… I think you’d really love the look and how there’s always random results/ surprises! Such a useful hobby to take up!

Hi ! Thanks for all your instruction and inspiration ! For sprinkling cinnamon on projects, I was thinking using a shaker would be nice. Then, realized most shakers have too-big of holes, you'd definitely be shaking tons out. So, either a salt shaker with tiny holes or make own. For anyone who's not done something like this for other reasons/came across it, It's nice to know you can make any container into a shaker by drilling small holes into the lid. To avoid injury etc., hold the lid steady using a pliers or vice grips etc. and have the lid upside down, on a surface like scrap wood which you won't mind drilling into a tad when u go thru the lid. Then, use a drill bit that looks about the size of the hole u want, erring on the too-small side. Idea #2 : secure a bit of cheesecloth or window screen around a jar etc. - alone or under a flip-open lid. Idea #3: Place cinnamon into a sachet bag/reusable tea bag type bag, and "puff" cinnamon over your project ( be careful not to inhale ! ). Store in a container between uses.

Some great tips thanks 😊

I'm really enjoying watching this while I work on the last of my Christmas projects. You really helped me think out of the box and how to do these kinds of things on a small budget. That's exactly what I have lol I was able to sell a few things when I finally gathered up the courage to post some for sale on Facebook marketplace. I'm finding so much to up cycle not only at the Goodwill stores, but I'm having great success finding things at the Habitat for Humanity store. I haven't even had a chance to check out my local Thrift stores because I'm finding so much at these stores. Thank you for the inspiration to do what I love the most and allowing me to make money to supplement my disability check. You are amazing and I'm a subscriber for life lol Merry Christmas to you and your family. Sending you lots of love from North Carolina.❤❤❤

You are my FAVORITE CRAFTER ON KZread because you are the thriftiest of all I’ve watched. You stress you’re using “my homemade chalk paint...” or “I’m using a baking soda paint and I’ll link the recipe below”... I cannot afford the paints that other crafters talk about. The DIY paint line, and the crafter is selling the paints. I watch you on my TV and can’t click LIKE so I go on my iPhone and comments and click LIKES!

Try using your heat gun on the white chalk paint over the mod podge. Ginger Chick does it all the time and it works 90% of the time. She uses straight white pva glue.(ie. Elmer's glue) instead of mod podge.

@@OurUpcycledLife I always watch. Our tastes are bound to be different at times but there is no doubt that you have amazing techniques that you share here on your channel. It’s also nice to share techniques that I am aware work when other viewers only have an ink jet printer to work with. I have also gotten some very good tips from other viewers in your community. It’s also great to mention other videos you have made that have helped me when I see others ask about something in the comments. None of my comments come from a malicious place. I’m direct and sometimes that can be taken wrong by others. I can tell your direct as well in your responses to comments. Most creators respond to tips or ideas a little fuzzier. Yours are short and direct. Tips and tricks from others should be embraced a bit more. People wouldn’t share them if they weren’t trying to be helpful. We all have fails sometimes when we create. We all also create things that others may not like for themselves but work beautifully for us. We should all help each other create beautiful things and expand our horizons with the things we can do as artists. I don’t just enjoy the techniques you share I also really enjoy your out of the box thinking when you create. Those are the creators I enjoy watching the most. So many channels share things we have already seen or have videos that feel very rinse and repeat using the same materials over and over. I know a lot of people enjoy those and there is nothing wrong with them. I just gravitate towards the creators who give me fresh new ideas I’ve never thought of before. Several of your videos have made me run to my stash and pull out an item I have had for years but wasn’t quite sure what to do with. I’ve learned a lot of new painting techniques from you that I really enjoy doing. I also appreciate that you show inexpensive products, that are easy to find or that we may already have that can be used to get the same results vs more expensive products on the market. I look forward to seeing your creativity throughout the New Year.
