This video suggests 10 free DIY ideas for updating and refreshing your home decor-that cost absolutely nothing! For each idea, I provide several examples of how I have implemented that idea in my own home, and I present several DIY home decor projects using trash or things you already own. The ideas include upcycling jars and cans, recycling old candles, reusing existing frames, displaying everyday items, bringing nature inside, moving decor from room to room, creating collections, thinking of new uses for old things, using outdoors decor inside, and embellishing plain decor.

I hope you enjoy this video and get a few new ideas on how to repurpose things you already have! Are you going to give any of them a try?

@Em22-wtf 3 года назад

QUICKLY becoming...NO, make that BECAME....one of my FAV YT chnls!!! Thank you for sharing! And, because I feel like you share SO much, I'll share my FAV tip...although not a decor tip, it is my absolute fav crafting tip and that is to store your glue sticks in the freezer! It cuts WAY down on those annoying strings and does not affect the glue itself at all! I read this tip YEARS ago and have been using it ever since and pass it on whenever I get the chance! I store all my glue sticks in the freezer, on the door, from Gorilla Glue sticks, to fabric sticks, to glitter and colored glue sticks and even my Industrial, super huge, super heavy duty sticks are stored in there! =) Hope its a tip you can put to use! Thanks again for sharing so much

@joannetaggart4136 3 года назад

My favorite ones were making candles in unique containers and the lanterns. It's funny because when my husband comes home today he will discover an outside lantern inside as it hasn't worked for years and is located in a part of the yard that's unseen. I was already contemplating it and here I go......😄😄😄

@CanterburyCottage 3 года назад

Yay! Don’t get discouraged if you run into issues disassembling it. Every lantern is different. Just keep looking for screws and things to take off. I should have mentioned in the video that if a screw is rusty and stuck, spray some WD40 on it to loosen it up. Good luck!😀

I always have to watch at least three times. Once, just to see everything. Twice, to really concentrate and catch every detail. Third to take copious notes. Yours is the only channel I actually have a small notebook on. I write down every idea you share and what you used to achieve the finished piece. Everything from the sandpaper grit to the color of paint. Will you share where you find the printout pictures you use? For example the match jar label. I love Tuesday ❣️

@CanterburyCottage 3 года назад

Oh, my goodness, Gloria! I think you might be my favorite viewer! 🥰 I use the Graphics Fairy site a lot for vintage images. I also go to Pinterest and search for images. For the match jars, I search “vintage matchbox labels.” Once I find one I like, I add it to my photos.(Once you click on an image, you will see three dots next to the image. Click on the dots and “download image” is an option.) Because I use an iPad, I use the “Print to Size” app to size and print the image. If you have a PC or laptop, you could paste it into Word to size and print. Hope this helps!

@corireeves32 2 года назад

I have watched this particular video a couple of times - usually just for inspiration!! Then I go and move something in my apartment. lol. I have made many candles over the years. A couple of tips are... Put an old nylon or knee high nylon over your hand and rub your candle or taper candle. It removes small bumps and nicks as well as accumulated dust and makes the candle shiny - provided you buff it enough with the nylon sock. Also for candles that are melting uneven or have set up uneven or have a nick or notch on them using a heat gun to smooth out the surface works well. I also have an old electric fry pan that i turn on low to melt the bottom of candles to make them even. Once I melt off a little wax I can even roll the candle in it, for a rough finish that makes the candle smooth again. Thanks Sherry!!
