Pro tip: any time you are upholstering or covering foam for cushions-cover the foam first with one layer of quilt batting then use your chosen fabric to finish the cushion. The quilt batting takes the sharp edges and sharp corners off of the foam, creating a more pleasing and professional finish to your cushions. This is for chairs, couches, benches, window seats and any other type of cushion. This post is meant to share valuable knowledge, not meant as criticism!
I’m a 74 yr old crafter but have become addicted to flipping. My friend whom I’ve known since we were 6 love thrifting and flipping. Thanks for sharing.💕
Painting Tip: I use a lazy Susan to paint small/medium sized pieces. Makes painting so much easier & faster. I have a 22 inch wooden lazy Susan that I thrifted many years ago and I still use it for 90% of my painting projects.
I can’t believe I spent the afternoon attached to the tablet watching all the DIY projects. I was so in love with the work you were doing. I liked all of them. You are very creative. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍❤️
I'm a first time viewer of you Susie and I've watched the entire video. I loved everything you made, you make it all look so easy. lol Thank you for sharing this video with us. xxx
I just tried my hand at decoupaging for the first time today. I used rice paper, and it moved a little bit on me. I was able to move the paper a little, but not as much as it needed to be moved. You have to start somewhere, and I think it looks good for a first time. I love the upgrade and I love the design. It looks wonderful to me. Perfectly imperfect. I redid my mother in law's dresser tray.
Hi Susie. I’ve just found your channel and love your ideas. I wonder what the table would look like with racing stripes on the side to offset the error ?? I love the chairs. I’ll be busy watching all your videos. Thanks for sharing. Brenda Romero. Watson , LA.
Love how you make us a part of your projects, “You will love this with ……… and in-depth instructions & sharing your experience, which you can’t buy..” Your transfer training is awesome.”❤ inspired to try this new craft.
I love the bench and bread box! I also love the fact that you share your "mistakes" and how you just start again!! GREAT Video!! Appreciate you sharing!
Love the mail box. Beautiful bottle with roses. Lamp is my favorite and you did a beautiful job! Sage color is one of my favorites. Mirror is so pretty. Nightstand is just gorgeous! Love it.
We did it! Just discovered your channel today. Watched the entire video. Loved all your upcycles. So did my hubby. We are originally from the great state of Alabama (Roll Tide ) now living in near Seattle Wa. Also, subscribed. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
I'm sure you now go ahead and rough up your new stamps all at the same time before you take any off the sheet. So much easier than one at a time. Wow. Your paint inlay lampshade turned out fabulous!
I think you and I like the white wax look more. I like some dark wax, grunge looks but the white wax has my heart for sure! Great projects and I just picked up an old small tackle box and makeup case so happy to see different options! Great video! 😊
On the cannisters, just turn them around and stamp the other side or paint over it and stamp again until you are pleased since they are for you! That's what I would do... Haha! I think they look beautiful regardless though ❤ all of your projects are amazing. I look forward to seeing what you do every single week!
Hey Susie! Great video! I have an idea for you when doing those stamps. Before you put the ink on the stamp, place it on the plastic backing, turn it over and put pieces of painters tape hanging off the sides so that when you put it on the product that you are stamping, you could secure them on all sides, once you have it in place. Then you could use a roller over the whole thing and remove easily. Should stop that occasional slip.
Holy Crap! Are you from Alabama? Me too. Where is your booth, and have you sold your table and chairs? I was wishing you were close to me, I would love to go see your booth. If you are far away,you could record the booth on your phone and show it to us.
I really like that you stapeled the fabric onto the hoop. I have a couple of these that are coming apart. As soon as i get my things out of storage im going to find then and either stapel or glue them back together. They are my color in my bedroom. I also have a pic that has those colors that needs reframing. Ive learned so much in the last year after finding youtube and pintrest. I just saw another crafter run a gathering stitch around the fabric back of the hoop before cutting the excess off. That would also hold it in. I love the canisters. They turned out great !! The bench is so different you wouldn't even think it was the same bench. Love the fabric you chose for the top pad. Its perfect !!!! I love the bread box. That shade of green is awesome. It's probably going to be my favorite I love those transfers. They are gorgeous !!!! Live the chair. White watch is beautiful I love the colors of your kitten! What breed is he ? So many projects, so many beautiful pieces. I love the tool box. It's so stunning that it's a favorite too !!
Loved and appreciated this! 💞 It was very relaxing. Upon each glance up to the TV, I was pleasantly inspired in some way. Your voice and presentation are always sweet and relaxing, Miss Susie. 💐 May our Lord bless you and your loved ones, and keep y'all safe. Thank you, ma'am, from Texas! 🌱🪻💜🙏 ✝️🌿
Don’t under estimate yourself, you are doing such fantastic work on all the pieces and you don’t charge enough to cover the cost of your precious time and work that put into each item.. ❤❤❤❤❤
Too many projects, I love them all!!!! I do LOVE ALL THINGS birds, chickens, and sunflowers!!! I liked how the table and chairs turned out ( so farm tablely) 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I just recently came across your channel and so happy I did, I absolutely love everything you make! I watched the entire compilation video and I liked everything! I can't wait to continue watching to see what else you create!
Tip for round surfaces 😊~ Use moving tape or tissue paper. Stick a few strips down on the table and then add your stamp to the tape. When you go to stamp it, it’ll be easier to go around the round surface. You could also use tissue paper. Stamp your image on the tissue paper (tear the image out so it’ll have jagged edges and it’ll blend better) then decoupage it on your round surface. Use whatever decoupage medium you like. I personally like “DIY Liquid Patina” it’s thinner and it works amazingly! I hope that helps.❤🫶🏼
Hi, I did a transfer on dresser but took off a flower with blow dryer and rubbed it off but it left drawer a different shade, it’s darker. 22:16 Do you know how to fix it. You sound experienced. 22:32
First time I have watched your channel and I really enjoyed watching. The make overs were very good suggestions. Loved that your animals were included in the video.
I just found your channel. I like your ideas, and your voice is pleasant and inviting. Thank you for sharing your talent. God bless you and your family.
Susie thank you so much for this fantastic and informative video ! I just have so much to express that I just can't!! Just left goodwill with a silver plated tray with some lovely handles and trim, I'm going to try what you did, clean it and transfer it! My husband thinks I talk too much, what do you think 😂 want to go through my stash and have a ball😍
I’ve recently bought a few older toolboxes at auctions for a couple dollars, so now I might try one of your project styles. So pretty. I really enjoyed the whole video. The birds, the dogs, florals. All so good. 💜
Love it all. My favorite is the bread box. I found one just like the one you had before you refurbished it. I gave it to my sister. She hadn't done anything with it yet. TFS🙏🙏🤣🌻❤️🌷🌼💐🌹🪷
That was fun to watch. I believe some of these flips were from before I became a follower. Love your work. Hope you get your 500,000 views. I’ll let it play again soon.
You are a very talented lady, to turn all these items into treasures. My only negative is, which is just my personal taste, that I really don't like all those decals that you have put on them. But, I am sure there are many people out there that really like it. Which I said is just my personal taste. Here is a thumbs up to a creative person!
Great video! Loved the blue on the little rocker. The table and chairs turned out beautiful!! The lamp turned out absolutely gorgeous! I did really like all of the diys.
Wow! I’m loving them all! So impressed with the lampshade. I have a weird shaped one and am going to try this technique. Sooo many awesome ideas! Really love them all! Perfect save on that table top!
Wow I work nights and when I have a night off I like to binge watch Netflix series or a good Movie you have become my biggest addiction loving all of your videos and so grateful to you for sharing ❤ Rainey from uk
Don”t know if you watch Donna Dewberry tutorials , or not, but sunflowers are easy to paint. If you do things to sell, you would probably save money by investing in some acrylic paints. Donna teaches easy, one step painting for florals. She even has kits you can order to get you started. The flips were incredible! I have subscribed.

You are correct.I found that out the hard way.Thanks!
Where were when I was trying to recover some old kitchen chairs? Thanks for the share now I know what I did wrong.

Your little Bombay night stand is the perfect piece to decorate for a child’s room to use as an enchanted, magical treasure chest!

TRANSFERS are so expensive and put a LOT on each project. You are very generous.

Your kitty is so busy. He is very sweet.
He's older now and doesn't seem to care what I'm doing anymore. lol When he was a kitten he was always up in my crafting. I miss that.
I also struggle with severe anxiety and crafting is definitely a therapy
I think you and I like the white wax look more. I like some dark wax, grunge looks but the white wax has my heart for sure! Great projects and I just picked up an old small tackle box and makeup case so happy to see different options! Great video! 😊
I guess I can’t comment on every beautiful project, so I’ll just say I love your work!
Great job on the lampshade inlay👍❤️
Oh, I am super enjoying your thrift videos
The Bama basket was so cute - an elephant would’ve be awesome on it ;) and I’m from MS so I loved that one too!
My favorite was the bench.
I loved the Rooster cabinet and the Sunflower Bread box
LOVE the Oval Embroidery Hoop... Gorgeous. Absolutely a Great Video.

Great video! Loved the blue on the little rocker. The table and chairs turned out beautiful!! The lamp turned out absolutely gorgeous! I did really like all of the diys.
Love the canisters! I have seen other crafters use packing tape on the back of the stamps and use it to hover over and eyeball the placement.
Wow! I’m loving them all! So impressed with the lampshade. I have a weird shaped one and am going to try this technique. Sooo many awesome ideas! Really love them all!
Perfect save on that table top!
Lovely projects. I see you have a helpful kitty, too.
