I think you are very generous to share the ideas and techniques with which you make money. Many people would not do that.
Glad your enjoying ❤️
Where would i get the recipe fir your chalk paint please.
Your channel is so inspiring!@OurUpcycledLife
@I-serve-you-tea😊
@@OurUpcycledLifehow much do you sell the little shelf sitter signs for?
I've been upcyling some things but my family have been very negative about them, saying no one is going to buy my old crap. I threw them in the bin, because I was so upset. But watching you, gives me more confidence to carry on.
Oh no!! Come here to this community for support. My life is full of upcycling treasures and love I’m being more sustainable ♻️
@OurUpcycledLife People don't realise that flippant words, can destroy your confidence. I'll keep watching you and hopefully I'll get my mojo back ❤️
Not cool. You do you❤❤❤
Not cool. You do you❤❤❤..
Sweetie, do what makes YOU happy. If they can't be arsed to see your joy in giving something fresh life, they can eff off.
Okay, huge observation. You have some of the most important (in my opinion) traits for crafting. You love to upcycle, you're cost conscious, you're talented, and overwhelmingly patient. Your patience in developing your projects and your patience in responding to comments. You just seem to be a really neat and very kind lady. I'm learning more than crafting techniques from you and I'm grateful. Kudos. Continued blessings, dear.
Thanks so much for the kind words❤️ I appreciate it
I'll just drop off my "stash" and pick it up when you're done working your magic! 🤭
Wouldn't that be nice . . .
No, wouldn't that be lovely!!! we would sing all the way home. For those that are a lot younger than me, that was a song Julie Andrews sang I think in the Sound of Music, but it could be Mary Poppins. Anyway, it is a lovely old song and I just could not help but attach it to your response Donna.... hope you don't mind.@@donnabrasher3303
lol too cute!!!
Oh no!!! My stash is already too big!! Hahaha
Me too pleeeese😊
I REALLY like that you do so many projects!! I also love that you give plenty of instructions and product details but move at a speed so that the viewer does not lose interest.
Thank you so much!
Is there anything that you can’t do?!?!? I love that you’re living your best life! TFS!!!
Yes! Thank you!
The salt and pepper shakers would be cute with bride and groom photos at the head table or as placecard holders with family/guest pix for each person at a dinner.
Oh great idea
It is a bug catcher, my aunt had one…..memories ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
I absolutely love that burning method and have used it- it is amazing and almost magical
It really is!
That burning technique was amazing! I hadn't seen that one before.
I love it!
The glass jar with the hole in the bottom is a fly trap. Flys can crawl in any direction but can only fly in straight lines. A mixture of borax, sugar or honey and water is pored into the gully at the bottom of the jar. When the flies land usually at the bottom opening after the luring smell of the water and honey they crawl in and drink the sweet poisonous borax water where they become trapped and can’t fly up or down to escape. It works quite well.
Yes exactly
We call them hornet traps, we use a sugar mixture or a piece of meat to bait the trap.
Really like the green/stone color pitcher vase. You were blessed to find the perfect ‘Oops’ paint and this uniquely shaped vase.
Thanks so much 😊
Love all your ideas!! ❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
You are so creative and crafty! Love these, so fun. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
You are so welcome!
I love when you do the multicoloured chippy paint. I haven’t tried it yet. I need to thrift the right thing to paint up.
I think the glass bee hive thing is a wasp catcher.
I love the salt wash! My favourite paint technique

Beautiful wildflowers frame. Did you notice how good that splash painted background was behind the frame?
Yes I did
I think the younger as in millennial generation has more inner strength. They are faced with different emotional challenges and some that are timeless.
I see them like emotional
suffragettes. They will speak up for themselves. This is not a blanket statement because mental health is not one size fits all. I do admire their strength And as a older woman I wish that that spark had been planted in me.
They are whiners who think no one ever experienced challenges before them. They’ve been handed everything by two income parents for far too long! Thanks to working moms.
@@RenaMiller-u1v unfortunately not under my roof. I guess I'm not as financially elevated as you.
Just discovered you am binge watching !
Welcome! Hope you find lots of great content
I just had to say that the lint roller against the coffee pot is a great idea! I must remember it!
Just came across this channel Love it Such cute and simple stuff so wholesome

I love your ideas and creations…I don’t think you need a graphic on everything though…😊
I agree but on the other hand for selling purposes they always do better ❤️
I love it… Grow Damnit.
I had a banana tree just like that. Can’t find it so I used a paper towel holder and some s hooks and made one.
Lamp looks 1000 times better.
Glad you enjoyed

Onde cabe tanta lindezas? Goiânia GO BRASIL.
I love the lighter one. That is so neat.
People love stuff for and about their pets, no matter what their pets are.❤️
That is some of the ugliest paper I’ve ever seen.
❤️

Would love to know how you price the items you upcycle! I know that prices very depending on where you are at, but it would be a good guide to go by if you could give some examples of what you price things at 😊

Hi🎉
How long does it take for polyacrylic to cure. I can't wait to get out and thrift shop and see what I can find to upcycle.
Great video, thank you for sharing
Will depend on your weather
I’m so inspired! Is it copy paper you use to print on? And can you colour the homemade chalk paint? X
Yes copy paper and homemade chalk paint
I've just done 2 reverse transfer pictures...my fingertips are so sore LOL! But I'm having fun learning!
It takes practice to get those fingertips used to it!
The bee hive thing is a wasp trap. It needs a cork or stopper in the top. Add sugar water in the bottim.
Yes exactly 👍
Okay watching this again!!! I’ve picked up those blocks, I have a laser jet printer…ready to go!!! What size font did you use and do you have a recommendation for the font type?!?!? Please and thank you!!!
I have lots of graphics in my Etsy store ❤️www.etsy.com/ca/shop/OurUpcycledLife
