Oh my gosh I know this is a very old video. I have been nonstop watching the playlist on everything… I love everything that you do. My husband bought me a scroll saw for Christmas two years ago. I still have not even attempted to try to use it. Is it too late for me to see the class? I’ve learned a lot already just by watching you using it almost seems like a sewing machine! :-) You probably know by now already with painting the beads, putting them in a baggie with a tiny bit of paint machine and around and laying them out is the easiest, non-messiest way to do those. If you will let me know about the class. Not very good on the computer so I would need help finding it , I am still binge watching everything on the farmhouse! Everything is so beautiful that you do been doing. I have been watching nonstop
I love this video. I can't choose a faviorite in this one, but the French books are very well done. I love the way you blenede the blues into the white clay. It gave them the perfect texture that an old book would have. This technique can be used in any background that needs extra texture and in ant color scheme. I love it !! I may have gone around the books with a couple of more twine. Maybe 4 times. This box is so perfect for storing anything. I love the No 5 and the key hole. They make the finishing touches to it !! I really like the beaded garlands. Yours is right up there with all of the others. I've watched many crafters paint beads. The best way I've seen is to string them on a wire then paint each side. Gets a more even coat on each bead.
Hi Susey! Thank you so much!!! I'm glad that you're going to make a couple of the projects in the video! They aren't hard at all and you're to love them when you finish them! Thanks Again and Enjoy!!! XOXO
I am very interested in taking your Scroll Saw class !!! My husband bought me a scroll saw for Christmas. I absolutely love all your videos with you and your mother. You are both so very talented. Thank you for all you do .
AWESOME, JAN!!! Yay!!! The scroll saw class will be available in just a few days. I'm working on finishing up a couple things for it and then I'll be posting it. Are you signed up for the newsletter on my website. If so...I will be sending out newsletters to everyone who signed up for the Flea Market Rescue Newsletter....letting them know that the class is now open. If you haven't signed up...you can do that at: fleamarketrescue.com If you scroll down about half way...there is a sign up box for the newsletter. Anyway, thanks so much and I'm glad to hear that you're interested!!! It's going to be fun!!! Also, I just want to thank you for the sweet comments! It made my day! XOXO
Love all the projects! They are all so cute 😊 And no worries about the creaky floor; it just means you're a real person with a real life just like all of us followers 😉💕
Im always follow ur page so interesting n u hav wonderful n great skills of turning ur projects in to very artistic one..an awesome ideas thanks for sharing fr Philippines
Oh Kelly I nearly died watching you paint those beads because I did the exact same thing the first time I made them! A suggestion would be to dilute a little paint down into a plastic container, drop the beads in and cover it. Roll it around until the beads are all covered then fish them out to dry on a piece of paper. Game changer! …and no paint spattered on your sleeves. (ask me how I know. ) Haha. Love your channel and your inspiration.
Thank you, Jackie!!! I really appreciate that!!! Thank you for taking the time to share which projects were your favorite and for the sweet compliment!!! XOXO
With the clay on the book, curious why was glue not used to hold the clay on the books. Glue can be applied to clay when wet and cure as clay cures. The box would had had great appeal with black hardware to go with the “No 5”. Just my opinion.
Thank you, Patricia!!! Yep...now you need a box! HEE HEE Anyway, thank for the WONDERFUL compliment....I truly appreciate that and you have a GREAT day, Patricia! Happy Box Hunting! XOXO
I was a little nervous when I saw that cool looking box. When you said you were going to paint it, I went Oh no! I would of sanded it n cleaned up the hinges (only bcuz I love old boxes) but as I watched the video it turned out so stinken cute. You painting the wheels real cleaver idea. Yep Kelly, you won me over. I just loved it. I’ve got a box close to your size n I’m going to copy it just like yours. Those beads turned out so nice. What a deal the price was. That’s cheaper than Amazon. I don’t think Michaels has them with different sizes either. Loved it! Books were very different. Your so clever at what you do. I suppose you could do the books in a different color. I’m not a blue girl except I do wear a lot of blue but don’t have it in my decor. Oh well, it doesn’t matter I’ll try it anyway. Your the best! See ya next Thursday my friend. OXOX ♥️😊👍👍👍
Thank you so much, Elaine!!! I'm so glad you loved the books project and that was such a sweet compliment!!! I really appreciate that and it made my day!!! You have a WONDERFUL day, today!!! XOXO
I love all three of these projects. Especially the books! I've made many of the wooden garlands and made some for my daughter in law. I've been struggling to get over Covid and I'm starting to feel better. Take care of yourself and have a blessed day 🌹
I tried your previous books and I really enjoyed them. My sister now has them. I am now going to try the vintage blue books. Nice work Kelly. Take care and hi to your mum.
Next time you have beads to paint use a cool whip bowl, pour your beads in, pour in some paint ( not alot ), put on the lid, shake them around and lay out on a cooling rack after they have had some time to dry in the bowl...
Another fabulous video ❤😁❤ pheww lol i keep picking up things to do alot these project . My pile getting deeper 😂 Now ill be adding books to that pile. Im loving all of it . Thanks again for all the inspirational ideas 😊 ill catch up sooner or later lol Love all these ! So happen have a chest that will done like this now 😁
Thank you, Denise!!! Sometimes it can be hard, but I have so much home decor that I have to only save the exceptional pieces...otherwise my house would be filled! LOL Anyway, thank you for the sweet compliment, Denise!! You have a GREAT day!! XOXO
Nope....I know it would seem that way, but truly you don't need to!!! Once that Paperclay dries...it's on there! If you're really worried...I guess you could use some Elmer's glue and then smoosh the Paperclay on top of it but it's not at all necessary. Hope that helps!
I LOVE that you're excited for the class!!!! Yay! Actually, I'm finishing it up right now. I needed two more things for it, but it should be ready in just a few days. Did you sign up for my newsletter on the website? Anyone who did that will be notified right away when it launches. If you go to my website at: fleamarketrescue.com you can sign up for the newsletter. Ok? Thanks so much for your interest in my class! It's going to fun!!!
The easiest way to "paint" would beads is to put them in a disposable plastic container with paint, add the lid and shake. Then put them on freezer paper or wax paper to dry.
I love that trunk! The books too. I have a question. I just started painting a dresser. 1 coat of chalk paint. But I can see that some spots will need to be primed. Can I mix my chalk paint with a paint and primer paint and will it cover that way? I did part of it with my chalk paint to see if it would bleed through, and in that spot it didn’t. But now that all of it is done 1 coat, there appear to be places all over the dresser that the original finish is coming through. 😕. Thanks for any help you can give me.
You know....I've never tried that!!! I always use a color matched paint and primer in one on the 1st coat. It's color matched to the chalk paint. I get that done at Home Depot. Then, my second coat is always the chalk paint. It sounds like you experimented with it when you did part of it with the mixed chalk paint....if it didn't bleed through then that should be good. Me personally, though....I probably would go over it doing a 3rd coat with some washed down chalk paint after that 2nd mixed coat dried....just to ensure I had the flat chalk paint look. Sometimes when you use a primer...it doesn't have that flat chalky look to it. It could be different because you did mix it together with the chalk paint. I don't know...because again...I've never done it this way, so I'm curious to the results. Let me know. Ok? Thanks!
I love Craftsman Scroll saws, however, Sears has went out of business. You can pick one up on Facebook Marketplace, however, for not a lot of money. You just want to make sure you get one that has a dual speed. Now, if I were to get a new one...I'd buy the Ryobi and the Wen. They look like the way to go. Hope that helps! I cover all that in the class that will be out in a couple days.
The part I painted a head of time, was just regular chalk paint. Then I painted the entire thing with that chalk paint. As it dried, I started seeing the old finish coming through the chalk paint. 😕. I found a can of sealer, Zinsser, and just sprayed the whole dresser . I am hoping tomorrow to try the chalk paint again. I think I will do what you suggest from now on. A tinted primer would save so much time. Thank You!
Hi Kim!!! The link to my website is in the description. The class isn't open, yet....it will be, however, in just a few more days. Here's a link to the website and if you want to sign up for the mailing list...that way you'll get notified when it launches.... fleamarketrescue.com Thanks, Kim! XOXO
Things I HATE about apartment living......NO ROOM for large tools like a table saw, scroll saw, Large drill press, or even flipping large furniture =( Ughhh....If I had a garage or even a spare bedroom at this point, lol, Id just make it my "garage" and do all the furniture flipping my heart desires! It absolutely KILLS me to have to drive on by Free Furniture on the side of the road, esp when I see it and it clearly pops into my head all the things, or even that ONE thing I can do with it! Its like a blessing AND a curse to see in your mind almost immediately what you can do with what others may consider junk, lol!!!! I just had to drive by 2 pieces of really cool looking large pieces over the weekend because I just do not have a place to work on them. One day, hopefully Ill be able to move into a little home with a garage or even a spare room and a driveway, but until then I have to stick to the smaller things like that little trunk you did that I absolutely love! ;) And what a great price!
Hi Em22!! I know how frustrating that would be!!! You have so many creative ideas, but a space that doesn't allow for you to do them!!! I've driven past furniture on the curb while driving in my car and there is just NO WAY I'd be able to get it in there...I'd need a truck!!! Here I am...thinking about what I could do with this AMAZING piece, but I have no way of getting it home! Urgh!!!! I've had to leave it there and it's so disappointing....and you know it's going to be gone within 20 minutes!!! Anyway, I hope that you can get a place that you can do some more things in...like the scroll saw, furniture flipping....because it really sounds like a passion, so you need to be doing it! XOXO
Exactly what was the point in painting all between the books when you've tied them together 🤔 surely you only needed to do the front cover & the back.. You do seem to make things harder for yourself, those beads...why didn't you put them in a dish and do it and it would have done in half the time or post them on a long thin stick.
Surely you can leave and find a better channel to watch. I love her "you can do you I'll do me" attitude and so do thousands of other people. She also has a shop where people actually buy her beautiful pieces. Kindness goes a long way. Take care and reword your criticism. Peace be with you.
Oh my gosh I know this is a very old video. I have been nonstop watching the playlist on everything…
I love everything that you do. My husband bought me a scroll saw for Christmas two years ago. I still have not even attempted to try to use it.
Is it too late for me to see the class? I’ve learned a lot already just by watching you using it almost seems like a sewing machine! :-)
You probably know by now already with painting the beads, putting them in a baggie with a tiny bit of paint machine and around and laying them out is the easiest, non-messiest way to do those. If you will let me know about the class. Not very good on the computer so I would need help finding it , I am still binge watching everything on the farmhouse!

I love the way the box turned out.

It gave them the perfect texture that an old book would have. This technique can be used in any background that needs extra texture and in ant color scheme. I love it !!

This box is so perfect for storing anything. I love the
No 5 and the key hole. They make the finishing touches to it !!
I really like the beaded garlands. Yours is right up there with all of the others.
I've watched many crafters paint beads. The best way I've seen is to string them on a wire then paint each side. Gets a more even coat on each bead.
Happy New Year!! I wish for you and your family happiness, health, love, compassion, peace and many blessings...
I’ve been watching you for time now, you do such S awesome job, just love.. the French books..
Thank you So so much for all the lessons 💕🙏😇
LOVE them ALL.... MY FAVORITE WERE THE STRING OF GRAY BEADS.......
Great diy tips on old books decor
Love everything. Going to make the books and beads!
Hi Susey! Thank you so much!!! I'm glad that you're going to make a couple of the projects in the video! They aren't hard at all and you're to love them when you finish them! Thanks Again and Enjoy!!! XOXO

You are the best of all the you tubers I follow. You are the most talented.
That ole box transformed into a beautiful piece that is so useful. I just loved it. The books are just beautiful.

I use a plastic bag as well. Works great.
Kelly you did an excellent job! My favorite were the books and the box.

Yay!!! Look forward to EVERY video ♥️

Man I love that box super cute ☺️
I used coffee to age the pages and it looks fab looks like the pages are old like the way you did yours
I love 💕 the box you did. Just adding those couple things is so simple, yet so very cute and farmhouse. Now I need to find one!! Thx for sharing 😁
Thank you, Patricia!!! Yep...now you need a box! HEE HEE Anyway, thank for the WONDERFUL compliment....I truly appreciate that and you have a GREAT day, Patricia! Happy Box Hunting! XOXO
I absolutely love all three projects!!! The books look gorgeous! And that box was perfect!!!! Always love all your projects. Love your style!!
Great projects, my favorite is the box!!

♥️😊👍👍👍
I have books and beads I need to use! Thank you for sharing this inspiration!!
The blue books , turned out soo cute.✨💙✨
Hello Sarah
Wasn't sure how those books were going to turn out but they came out gorgeous! Love everything you do. Great job on all the projects! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Elaine!!! I'm so glad you loved the books project and that was such a sweet compliment!!! I really appreciate that and it made my day!!! You have a WONDERFUL day, today!!! XOXO
The books are great. I really like the colors you chose. I have all I need to do this myself.
If you color the inside of the keyhole black, it will look more realistic. 😉
Good Suggestion!!! Thank you for sharing, SB Herring!!! XOXO
Great looking DIY’S
Next time, try adding the paint and wood beads inside a large zip-loc bag. Shake them around to cover in the paint.
That's a GREAT suggestion, Jackie!! Thank you for sharing!!! XOXO
Thank you for sharing your talent. Loved everything 😊💕
I love all the projects. You are so talented!!!
AwHhhh....thank you so much, Diana!!! That was so nice of you to say! You made my day!!! XOXO

Hello Brenda
Another fabulous video ❤😁❤ pheww lol i keep picking up things to do alot these project . My pile getting deeper 😂 Now ill be adding books to that pile. Im loving all of it . Thanks again for all the inspirational ideas 😊 ill catch up sooner or later lol Love all these ! So happen have a chest that will done like this now 😁
Hello Kim
I did that last spring with iOD molds and paint love the look of yours!
Love these projects. How do you give up your items to sells, it would be so hard to let them go if I couldn't make duplicates.
Thank you, Denise!!! Sometimes it can be hard, but I have so much home decor that I have to only save the exceptional pieces...otherwise my house would be filled! LOL Anyway, thank you for the sweet compliment, Denise!! You have a GREAT day!! XOXO
I adore the old book technique!!! Did you need to use any adhesive for the paperclay to stay on the book? I’d think otherwise it would crumble off.
Nope....I know it would seem that way, but truly you don't need to!!! Once that Paperclay dries...it's on there! If you're really worried...I guess you could use some Elmer's glue and then smoosh the Paperclay on top of it but it's not at all necessary. Hope that helps!
Thank you!!
Could you use spackle instead of clay?I think it would be easier to use and cheaper.
Are we able to sign up for classes yet, Kelly? Can you tell I am a little excited 😜❣️
I LOVE that you're excited for the class!!!! Yay! Actually, I'm finishing it up right now. I needed two more things for it, but it should be ready in just a few days.

What grit sandpaper do you use for distressing? Good videos
I use a 150 grit...fine sand paper. Hope that helps! XOXO

Fabulous! I’m loving that chest.
and Mrs T I would have stencelled the number 5 on as the number sticks out too far on the chest
My thought also - love the wood box but the 5 is awkward.
The beads are actually boho not farm house. I like some of your things but farm house is not ny style.
Can you please do some boho looks. Thanks 😊
Hope the authors of the books are no longer around, I always feel a little guilty. 😳🤥 Good job though!
Exactly what was the point in painting all between the books when you've tied them together 🤔 surely you only needed to do the front cover & the back..
