DIY MARATHON ALERT! For this week's video I decided to compile some of my favorite thrift flip DIYs that I created since the beginning of my TH-cam journey. I really went through and came up with a solid list of projects that are affordable and aesthetic AND easy to achieve. In this video, you will see different painting techniques, some introductory wood working projects, upholstery and fabric projects. But my favorite kind of thrift flip is to not only alter the piece aesthetically but to give it a completely new life and purpose from what it was initially, such as the candle wall sconce or the wooden linked object. But even still, my favorite thrift flip to date HAS to be the nearly 8 ft tall faux olive tree I recently created. Make sure you let me know in the comments which one inspired you and don't forget to tag me on IG if you happen to recreate any of these projects. Thank you all for your amazing support and positivity!

Yay! Finally, I found a thrift-flipping DIY TH-camr that doesn’t just slap white paint on everything and make it farmhouse and French cottage! 😅Thank you, Fia! I really like your decoration style.
Yes, Ive been hunting for the same as well. I enjoy some of what I can learn of techniques even if I dont like the style. But its starting to hurt seeing so much "lets paint it white and slightly distress it!" paints jobs.
Or covered in jewels and everything is bling!
My thoughts exactly
Ugh don't forget the SIGNS that say WELCOME over and over or OUR HOUSE IS FILLED WITH LOVE or their videos labeled FARMHOUSE HIGH END... no NOT high end... just a little cheapy And DIY. I feel bad... I know they're having fun and making pretty things but they're nothing like these pieces Fia makes.. she's truly a talented and skilled artist
First I must tell you I am an old woman (80) and have been a lifetime crafter. . I ‘ ve seen so many in my life. You are doing an amazing job😇 I am so happy to have found you. Your vision is 20/20 in design.
Those "serrated scissors" are called Pinking Shears, and they are a MUST for anyone wanting to do serious sewing. I use mine to keep things from fraying when my Serger isn't working, and to trim curved seams so they'll lay nice.
You do beautiful work--glad I found your channel!
The Olive Tree and the head board with branches....OUTSTANDING!
I love all of these great job
I always suggest making sure that the items you use for a light fixture are not heat producing or flammable. ♡
Yes! So many don't consider this when DIYing. Adding on that saftywear and ventilation are important. Both are skipped too often as well.
That is the BEST self made faux olive tree. That took a lot of work I know but completely worth it in my opinion. Not just the money saved but because it truly looks real!
Wow girl ! I wish I had your creativity for high end decor ! All your diys are absolutely gorgeous ! But girl the olive tree , looks like that $300 one !
Thanks so much love!! Always so positive and uplifting!! Makes my day!
your flips ARE high-end and so well done! Hold tiny nails with tweezers...saves frustration and fingers! Your serrated scissors are pinking shears. All flips are great but I love the headboard most and hope to try that! thank you!!
Thanks for all of the awesome tips love!! I appreciate you!
I love wooden bowls! I have three sets and LOVE them! So does my family as one set is dedicated to popcorn and other snacks!
Hello. Great video. Just a tip, to stretch any type of fabric, you need to start on the center of each side, then the corners.
This tip seems logical, Thanks!
I have re upholstered many things and this technique was off
Absolutely that is the correct way.
Yeah she clearly doesn't know what she's doing.
@@marydengler3157 in what way was it off?
I have to say, I’m blown away by your creativity! just found your channel after watching hundreds of them over the past few years! I have to say that your work is in a class of its own!
You possess beauty and class, and your work reflects this.
Thank you! 💕💫🌳
Awe thanks so much Kathryn!!
😄 "My arm is ready to fall off." That's how I feel too when I sand and paint; finally, someone said it. I watch many diy channels, and nobody says that. Thank you for being real !!!👍🏻❤️🔥
Love the clock and the bench.
Wow, I’m so glad your video popped up on my side bar!!! So many do, but they end up not really being “high end” and usually end up being sloppy and cheap looking. I am a new subscriber now! Can’t wait to look up your past videos. I do a lot of thrift flips, high end DIY’s and furniture upcycling, but am very picky and meticulous. Happy to have found you. 😊
Love these... DIY doesn't have to be cheap looking. I've done a ton of these trees with set design and if you take the time to do it properly, they can be stunning. It's worth taking the time to do the details properly. Also if anyone wants to use rocks or something heavier in the base, do the same thing with fill (recycling etc) and then lay a few layers of cardboard at the top and the stones will be stable.
The "serrated" scissors are called Pinking Shears for anyone who wants to track down a pair. They reduce the fraying of fabric edges so they come in quite handy for DIYers who use fabrics.
Love love love the olive tree ❤️
Thank you so much!!!
Tree: The tree is gorgeous!!
I also loved the bare branch in the pot against your white walls!
Everything you made was great! The scissors you have for the pillow you made is called pinking shears. They keep the material from fraying.
Thank you so much for watching and for the info on the shears Marty! 😊😊
Great ideas! I especially LOVE the woodsy headboard and I'm definitely going to make one but to hang on the wall as art, not a headboard. Thank you so much for your BRILLIANT diy ideas!! Excellent instructions, too!!
I so love the idea of the watercolor clock! I have one I can totally redo! Thanks for the idea! All the projects are wonderful! That branch headboard is genuis!
I love the tray. Uhpolstry is done by doing all four sides first then corners. I plan on doing this for my daughter for Christmas, thanks for the great idea.
Incredible olive tree, you deserved the fabulous results because you put all that work into getting it just right!!! ☺️✨🌿
Thanks so much!! We love it!!!
Nobody in the world finds the stuff at goodwill/thrift stores like you find. It blows my mind that you find what you do, just doesn't seem possible.
I love the headboard Just because thinking outside the Box
Thanks so much!!!
I just love your beautiful minimalistic vibe! So breath taking. If u ever get tired of any of these makeovers and the ornaments on your tree & the different color of ribbons, HEY! I'M OVER HERE! JUST STUNNING. I loved all of these. Great tip on the tree collar. Some corrugated metal from Lowe's/Home depot etc... would look amazing as a tree collar. [You could even use a cardboard box For the base to fit in and drape the faux fur blanket or the faux leather material as a cover for the cardboard box. You could cut the cardboard into a oval/round base and glue strands of wooden beads around the cardboard. You could use Yarn. Faux fur. Even a planter like you had earlier for the Olive tree. I would love to get some tin, that is thin metal and have 2 tree collars and then Have a large 4 1/2' then 2 ft and then 1 1/2 ' gingerbread family. Love your style. 😊
Love your DIY projects. They are so professional and high-end looking; folks would never know they were DIY unless you told them.
Now I'm inspired to put Deco beads on my lamp shade. Was just waiting for right inspiration..to complete my lamp. .thanks for the idea.
It was so nice to see a bunch of your projects all in one long video! I had seen many over the past year, but, enjoyed this so much tonite!
Thank you so much Lori! So glad you enjoyed! 🥰 thank you for watching!
I didn’t know what you looked like until now and you look exactly like I thought you would! I predicted “pretty, petite with dark brown or black hair” and I nailed it! It’s not often that happens so I just loved how well your voice reflects you x
I have been wanting an olive tree for so long. I will definitely be making this! Yours came out absolutely beautiful and those wooden rings 😱
I accidently found your site while scrolling on my TH-cam channel on TV. I am impressed that a a younger woman would explore how to have a really nice look in her home without busting her family's budget! I've only watched one video but I can't wait to rewatch and take notes. Your efforts (hard work) expands my level of creativity! I am addicted and will be sharing with my daughter and daughter-in-law! Kudos to you and your family.
I used to do a lot of diys, and for some reason stopped. You have inspired me again to try a couple of these. More importantly it’s better to recycle for the environment. Thank you 🙏
That’s awesome girl!!
Wow!! That olive tree is pure gold!! Love all you DIYS!!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
That spindle wood bench was the find of the year. It turned out beautifully. Our guys need to listen to us more often. Lol. 👍🏼🤍
The corner pieces make that piece! Super genius! DIY #12
Thank you so much Gail!
So many useful ideas in one video! I love the way you get to the point, the instructions are clear. Not sure when I will find patience to actually sit down and do one fo these, but such a joy to watch! : ))
The molcajete behind her as a piece of decor hahaha that’s fun!
The 6 P’s Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. I love your ideas, great work.
Thank you so much Andrea!!!
Lilly with her butterfly enjoying her puppy life! Monarchs are so beautiful I haven’t seen as many this summer as in the past our neighbor did grow his beautiful zinnias this year they usually attract bubble bees & butterflies. Next summer he will have wild flowers so we should see what they will bring most likely the bees from the neighbor who has bee hives behind us! Thank you for your video they always make my day!! Hope your well. Joanna & Venus
Fascinating your aesthetic is beautiful, your process jumped from ordinary DIY to gorgeous home decor! Was going to say my favorite, but each project became my favorite as we went along! The headboard combined so many elements that I love, nature inspired, using minimal material, and impactful low cost decor! Blessed and safe days!
I spent a whole day working with those awful tiny screws, watched every video for help to no avail then hubby came rolled tiny little balls of Black Tack, put onto the bottom of screw, it held in place while I hammered it home then just pull tack off …brilliant
These are awesome - that pendant light spectacular!
I LOVE the olive tree...I need it in my life...you really scored on the pots. Great job.
Thanks so much! 😊 I’m still obsessed with the olive tree myself haha
@@FiaGarciaDIY I am in love with it. I really want it lol
My favourite is the twig headboard
Me too!!!
Mine too! That vignette is gorgeous! Anything wood and/or organic is what I immediately go to! Is there a tutorial on the twig headboard? I think I have I’ve in my files about making one for a coatrack. New subscriber here!
Love Love Love your ideas. Just a quick tip when you are reupholstering and you have corners “always make a couple cuts in the fabric at the corner so it lays flatter and much much easier to work with. Amazing ideas and I will be using quite a few of them. Thank you for sharing
I LOVE YOUR STYLE! These diys are awesome. Everytime I thought I had a favorite I would love the next one!
I made a picture for my wall and I soaked my branches in water and this made it easier to unbark them
we used to make these in the 70s...awesome come back
So cool! Thanks for watching Kim! 😊
This was so fun! BUT I just have to say that adding hot glue to hold hardware so you can nail in tiny nails... genius! That was one of the best tips I've heard in a long while. Love everything you did! WOW!
Also using pliers to hold nails in place helps esp teeny ones. This is probably a no brainer but hey I didn't always know/do it!
Love the beaded chandelier! Actually, I loved pretty much everything!!!
I really liked the interlocking wooden rings
I love how the watercolor clock turned out great job!
Thanks so much!!!
We have a big canvas in our home. I like the print. When I want to change it I cover it in fabric. I just pull whatever fabric I like tight and put a few staples in the back.
My favorite was the bowl!
That moment where you have a pair of old scissors specifically for your floral wire 😅 I use my wire cutters for so many projects and then end up placing them somewhere and can never remember where that is :S so I keep old scissors in my craft box now 😆
Loved everything just Loved Loved the whole segment of items
*ADVICE* for MidCentury Modern Bench
Before adding any Stain or Paint and when you said “Obviously it’s not perfect” you would have seen an incredible difference with just an easy fix by putting a PRIMER first! The primer penetrate the pores in the wood, allowing any stain or paint you add 😮😮on, to look even and leaves you w. a profesional finish! Regardless… it looks incredible! Nice job! I bet your husband was in awe 🤣🤍
I just absolutely love all of the thrift flips! I navigate to the wood section of Goodwill and other thrift stores, too! There is just something about wood that draws me in! LOL!!! Thank you for describing your processes in such detail! You are so inspiring! Roadside finds are the best! I found a small antique-looking cream-colored loveseat that fits my studio apartment just perfectly, among other finds. I recently found an antique wrought iron metal chandelier that I gave to my mom to restore for her art studio. I just think it's wonderful to breathe new life into old items and furniture, and your creations are just beautiful.
Love the wooden rings
Absolute favourite is the fig tree. Love all your diy decor ideas. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much!!!
This video took me literally all day. On and off. But all the DIY were stunning.
I love ALL of the flips - thank you for sharing, I could listen to your voice all day !!! Such a lovely sound!!!!
This was an awesome gift Kayla! Cute finds. The room turned out beautiful. I just took my only child to college last weekend and got him settled in.
Love love oblong fruit tray with bread tray! My fav so far! ☺
I love the tray with the leather liner! 🤗
Thanks so much Mitch!!
Love the watercolor clock!
Excellent projects! Even though you don’t think ur an artist…..you really are!
The bench turned out gorgeous. Loved the gold fruit bowl & the wooden one.
The Faux Olive Tree:
Yeah; I would have painted or stained the central branch/trunk before adding the smaller branches.
Also, I wonder if it would have gone quicker if you'd have used a graphic artist's pencil sharpener to pre-narrow the thicker branches before adding to the predrilled holes.
The resulting tree is beautiful.
The Olive Jewelry Box:
Any time you have to hammer-in really tiny nails, try using angled needle-nose pliers to hold them while hammering.
What would be better is replacing the tiny nails with tiny screws.
Whether you use tiny nails or tiny screws, it's always safest to drill even tinier pilot holes, to avoid splitting the wood.
Also, next time apply a piece of tape across the center of the fastener's bottom piece, then measure to find the center point (you can lay it on graph paper to find it) and mark top and bottom edge center. Next, apply a broad piece of tape to the center of the box surface you're applying it to, then mark center from edge corners and mark a line top to bottom. Now match up the fastener center to the box face center; do this with both fastener parts connected, so you position it correctly on the box. Mark the nail/screw holes. Drill the pilot holes, then remove all tape from all the parts. Nail/screw the bottom fastener piece to the box, then repeat with the top latch piece of the fastener.
The Mid-Century Wood Bench:
Great find, your instincts were good!
However, my first move would be to wipe it down with some soap and water, let it dry, then use a stripper to remove the old paint.
There's no way you can sand a wooden item, especially with an electric sander, and avoid deforming the shape of the wood spindles and scooped seat. Strip it first, then VERY CAREFULLY sand it by hand.
Afterwards you can evaluate the wood, to determine if it's entirely of one quality specie of wood or cobbled from several inexpensive woods. Quality wood means finishing with stain and hand-rubbed beeswax or shellac, as you would an antique. Mixed or scrap wood means paint, maybe embellish with colonial painted decorations. Your roadside find should have been painted, either a black semi-gloss or matte black (maybe with embellishments) or a shabby-chic white or off-white.
I wouldn't have used a varathane finish; it's not good for wood longevity. It seals the wood completely, but wood still dries out and the varathane blocks any remoistening the wood. Eventually, the wood will crack. But if the intent is only a decade or two of use before hitting the landfill, it'll do ok.
I have to say that Branches-&-Frame 'headboard' is genius! So very cool!
Quick tip:
Most adhesives are oil-based. Gum is dehydrated oil and makes a really good adhesive, so most adhesives are made from oil. Heat melts oil; that's why heat works on making contact paper stick better.
Here's the tip: Use your blow dryer to remove labels and price stickers. It heats up the adhesive and the sticker comes up pretty easily. Whatever you can't pick up with the removed sticker, use undiluted dish detergent to clean away the residue before rinsing.
Love the olive tree and the bathroom wall candlestick
All your DYI'S are just beautiful.
Thank you so much!
This was SO FUN to watch. Can't wait to go back to the thrift store again!
Wow! The clock and the bench are my favorite.. Outstanding!
I really love your projects, especially your faux olive tree! Absolutely stunning!
Ditto. I was So incredibly inspired!!!!!
I really liked every one of your diy's, you're very creative. Don't you just love how you can take an idea and make it your own, in your own color scheme, like the canvas painting. I've actually thought of doing before that w/my own color palet and seeing yours has inspired me to go for it! Thank you so much for sharing your creations and God bless y'all and baby!!😇
Gold tray looks very effective, but I would use two stands/ legs by preparing it and this would be more stabil.
Tudo perfeito, amei ! 👏👏👏👏👏
Love this ! Balance without a bunch of grey.
You can also use plaster of Paris to sink the branch in.
The basket light is absolutely beautiful! Great job!! I love all you DYI'S
Where have you been? I love to thrift! I see some people thrift, but they don’t show how they redo their thrifts! The only ones that I’ve found that shows is GingerChicRehab, Savannah (I can’t remember her name and there’s one more! The rest just show thrifting. I need ideas. I have a building full of things I’ve thrifted and NO idea what to do with them. In fact my husband says that I’m not buying anything else until I make somethings and sell them to recoup some of the $$ I’ve spent! Yes, it’s that’s bad. Lol
I love your style! Thank you!! You now have a new sub that TH-cam recommended!
"Q
Simply adore the long tray 💓
I love that Dollar Tree watercolor pallet!
Love the basket and wood bead chandelier!
So glad you liked them Ellen! The beads took a little time but overall so worth it! Thanks for watching! 🥰
By far loved the bed headboard, and the box with placemats. You are a great diyer. Thank you. I love to do diy. Will be doing some of your projects. Would like to see some pillow cases , and things diy with shells.
I actually loved the slits in the wood. I would have kept it since it gave it some patina/ character
Your DIY’s are remarkable. I Love your recycling and how you make each design your OWN.
Thanks so much Carletta!
I think the watercolor clock would have looked great with a white or super light gray frame. Watercolor was gorgeous though.
Those linked wooden bowls are to DIE FOR!!💖 urs looked far more neat and clean! 💖
I loved the headboard!! Great idea’s!!! Thank you for sharing!!! ❤️🧩
Thanks so much!!!!
My favorite was the three bowls so so creative
Loved being able to watch in 1 video some of my favorite DIY’s!!!
You are too talented for just TH-cam... You are definitely a 🌟 star 🌟
just waiting to be discovered by a higher end company.
Love ❤️ Love you & your channel. You are not only beautiful outside but inside as well... it shows in your videos... the way you smile & speak! You’re a natural for the cameras... so come on HGTV, what are you waiting for...🤣😂 Thank you again for allowing us to have the privilege of watching your channel! You are truly a gift! 😘🤗💜
Awe thank you so much Donna for your positivity and your kind words! You are seriously the sweetest!!
Yo that CLOCK! Love it 😍
Love the bench
Thanks so much!!
Adding another branch frame above the existing one would give the headboard some height. Very inspiring Fia. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
Love the basket chandelier!
Thanks so much Cynthia!!
❤ each one of these projects!
Awe thank you so much Judy! 🥰
Very clever! For the watercolor clock project, I wanted to help you out. There is something called watercolor ground that you can paint on anything to create the right texture to then use watercolor. So rather than the acrylic paint, you would use the ground, which comes in a warm white or a bright white. Also, those cheap watercolor palettes can be a problem. The colors aren’t bright because they don’t have much pigment but worse is that it will fade quickly.
I really admire how precise you are and your eye for detail. The wooden links are still my favorite, that idea is genius. Everything is so cool...the corner pieces you added to the small table made so much impact! I want to try the hanging lights you made from baskets for our new kitchen. 😊😊😊
Thank you so much!! You are so kind! I’m glad you enjoyed them!!
@@FiaGarciaDIY Lovely.
Fia, you are amazing! So creative and imaginative!!
