Better Than Before

Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Mary and I was born and raised in the Midwest. For decades my passion has been to find forgotten treasures and turn them into current beauties. I hope that with my channel I'm able to share with you the how to's of what I do with each unique find. My good friend Robin is my sidekick and does all my filming for my channel. Thank you for clicking on my channel and an extra thanks if you subscribe.

    Did you just use small strips on the snowman by patching here and there ? Wish you had did video showing you doing the warm and natural on whole thing instead of saying put on head. Need see how the body was done was it big piece to cover the size of ball? Because if glued together can’t get piece on

    Diamond dust or clear glitter from Tim holtz. Some mica too. The vintage one are made with roving.

    Hello! I made 2 of the snowmen as you directed. It was such fun. They look so vintage. I used the ring of a ball jar as the base. It was really good to hold them while I worked on them. Thank you so much for sharing!!

    It’s very similar, almost the same as my cotton spun ornaments.

    I just have to say that you two are awesome. Robin: "What about this, you could do this, right? Maybe you could even add this embellishment here and then......" Mary: "....... It's fine this way" 😂 The snowman is adorable, and I love the way Mary made the texture for the snow on his body. Oh, and I absolutely hate glitter. That shit is the devil. 🙄
