In this episode, we'll take some home decor items from the thrift store and give them a makeover through DIY! First, we'll take an oriental-looking birdcage and make it into more of a farmhouse type of birdhouse through DIY. Next, we'll take a dress form that we got from the thrift store and decoupage the entire thing with aged advertisement paper. Lastly, I'll show you how to make an easy sphere ornament in just minutes! So, if you're ready...then let's do this!!!

And, as always, thank you so much to everyone who has helped my little to grow!!!
Vintage patterns would have looked great on the dress form!
Great idea!
I love these videos. You inspire and teach - thank you!
What an inspiration!! Love the bird cage.
That birdcage is so darling
Thank you so much, Karen! I'm so glad you liked it!!! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!!! XOXO
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel Kelly! 😍
No apology needed for the squeaky floors .💕💕Made me feel right at home...💗💗💗🥰💖dress from looks Great ....💞💞💞🤗
Kelly, I am binge watching your videos and I am smitten with your knowledge and expertise! I can't stop watching your videos and love everything you do. Donna xoxo
Same here! 😅
😮 old dress patterns was a great idea
The birdcage is beautiful. Thank you for the tip about freezing. I’m definitely trying it.
Love the dress form!
Thank, Jennie!!! XOXO
Fantastic tutorial, teaches patience & do diligence ❤
Thank you so much, Betty! That really means a lot to me!!! XOXO
I like the freezer tip. I would've done the sitting birds since they're in a cage. LOL That dress for was my favorite! I love how that turned out.
I love the body form. It turned out so pretty!
You always bring me such joy watching you flip! Great job!
AwHHh...thank you so much, Pam! Your comment absolutely made my night! XOXO I'm glad you enjoyed the projects!!!
That candlestick was the perfect addition to the mannequin! So cute!
Wasn't that perfect?!?!? I saw that on the shelf...not too far away from the paper mâché dress form and it just clicked! I was like...this would be PERFECT for it!!! Anyway, thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment, Deb!!! XOXO
I wanna just thank you for putting the before/after pictures in the "thumbnail" of your videos. I love your projects and lots of times need to go back and revisit them later for instruction. Having all the items in the thumbnail, makes it so much easier to find the video I'm looking for! I also live in Michigan and love the shows you do! Thank you for these videos!
The good thing about the pieces still being flexible, when you remove the from the molds, if you don't let them dry hard, in the molds, you can set then on a curved edge of where you want to glue them, and they'll dry into the curve they need to have, to fit snug on things like a cup, cloche, or any curved surfice.
So cute and you are correct. Epoxy is so awesome
I just found your channel. I LOVED your projects today!! Looking forward to seeing more! Thanks for sharing.
OH, that's AWESOME, Jeana! I'm so glad you found your way here! Yay!!! And, yes...I definitely have more to come! I post new videos every week, usually every Thursday morning, so make sure to check back! Thanks So Much for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment! XOXO
You 😅are so down to earth your show is so easy to follow your diy’s keep up the great work ❤
AwHhhh, Margo...that was so sweet of you to say and I'm so glad my DIYs are easy to follow!!! I have more to come, so stay tuned..... Thanks for watching, Margo!!! XOXO
CREATIVE!
I always enjoy your videos and the awesome projects you create. I’m so happy to hear that your mom is doing well. Hopefully we will get to see her again soon. You and your mom are wonderful ladies. All my best to you both.
These turned out sooo beautifully as always!! I have been binge watching your videos and I just can’t get over your creativity. It looks like the dress form has some kind of shiny “stuff” on it. I think if you had lightly sanded it everything would have stuck better.
Love your make overs. Good job.
Thank you, Linda! I really appreciate that! XOXO
Wow love everything !
Thank you so much, Lady Carolyn!!! That made my day!!! XOXO
The dress form looks beautiful
And the bird cage
Thank you so much, LauraLee!!! XOXO I really appreciate that!!!
So glad your Mom is doing good!
I know! I was sooo nervous but everything went well and she's on the mend!!! Yay! Thanks for the sweet comment, Joanne! It means a lot to me! XOXO
Oh I just loved each one of these!!! So glad your mom is doing well!!!
Yes, she's doing great! That was so nerve racking for me, but I'm glad it's over and she's on the mend! AMEN! Anyway, thanks for the sweet comment, Heather! I think I've told you this before but you're like a little ray of sunshine!!! XOXO Have a GREAT night!!!

Thanks, Nancy! I'm so glad you loved the projects! Thank you for watching and for commenting! XOXO
You have a good taste..I like everything you pìck up at thrift stere
As always Kelly you bring us beautiful creations. I so love the bird cage creation. When you styled the sphere with the bird beside it, it was breathtaking. Love them all. Dress form is so beautiful.
Thank you so much, Sheila!!! I really appreciate that! You are so sweet!!! Thanks Again and you have a BEAUTIFUL night! XOXO
Got my morning coffee. What a great way to start the day. Love the dress form. Gotta try this. Thanks for the inspiration Kelly!!
I LOVE it!!!! I'm so glad you love the Dress Form Project! If you can't find one at the thrift store....I did see some at Hobby Lobby for $14.99. Anyway, thanks for the sweet comment, Kristy and cheers...I'm drinking my coffee, too as we speak! HEE HEE Have a GREAT day!!! XOXO
Learning and seeing the Freezer Trick makes me want to do those molds even more! Your Bird Cage came out beautifully!
Just bought your farm animal tags…I have bought the Christmas sets and valentines! I print them on card stock that looks like cardboard color…sooo cute! Thank you for all your inspiration!
OH, AWESOME!!! Thank you so much, greeneyedgirl1975!!! I'm so glad you liked them! I'm coming out with two NEW sets of hang tags...one is Easter Hang Tags and the other is really springy...they are called the Fruit & Vegetable Hang Tags...so check back...they are really nice! They will be out next week! Thanks Again and You have a WONDERFUL night!! XOXO
I’ve made these for years. I use e6000 glue and hold the joints together with paper clams, the black ones. They keep the hoops from moving.
I’ve said it before, we know where you get your creativity from. Mom is so talented too.
Loved the Valentine’s Day Tree.
That bird cage is adorable. Great idea using the IOD’s. There are the greatest creation’s. Also loved the dress form ( my mind went totally blank as what it’s called) Super idea putting on that tissue newspaper designs n putting it on that 99 cent candle stand. Loved it!!! I’m telling you, in Michigan you guys have the best thrift stores. I never find the cool stuff you get. Darn I wish I didn’t live so far away.
I kick my self in the behind for getting rid of all my hoops. I could of made a bunch of those spears. I’ll keep my eye for some more n this time I’ll keep them. It’s always rewarding watching you each week. I know there’s always going to be many cool things to see n want to make. ♥️♥️😊👍👍 OXOX
Shelly
My husband just commented that he likes your quiet background music. 😊. Thought I would let you know.
So do I!
AWHHhh....thank you so much! I'm so glad that you told me that! I have people who comment about the music but not in a nice way, so THANK YOU for taking the time to let me know that! It made my day!!! XOXO I love music...otherwise it's boring...it's too quiet...you can hear the clock tick on the wall quiet!!! LOL
Thank you, Pam!!! I really appreciate that!!! I take an extra hour in editing just to add a little background music, otherwise it's just too quiet! It's just more calming and enjoyable with music....at least I think so! Thanks for letting me know that you like it, too! XOXO
So glad your mom is doing well ♥️
Also we had an estate sale down the street last summer the lady that lived there was kind of a hoarder anyway she had tons and tons of sowing things there was a huge box of the hoops all shapes and sizes I’m so bummed I passed it by😑
So many pretty things again today. I keep thinking I want to make the sphere. I just need to do it!!! Hope you and mom are doing well and it's great to see you today. ❤❤❤❤God is so good.
Hi Charlotte! How are you doing? Good I hope!!! Thank you for the compliment on today's projects!!! The sphere is so super easy....you can make it in less than 10 minutes! Yep...just do it! I know you can!!! It's easy breezy!! And, yes...my Mom is doing good! I'm so thankful because I was very worried about it! I'm just glad it's over and she's doing well! Thanks for asking! Yes, God is good! Anyway, I hope all is well with you and you have a BEAUTIFUL night, Charlotte! XOXO
Hahahaha, ur floor was squeekin, i thought my stomach was growling, hahahhaa
Just seeing your channel, you do wonderfully creative things. One hint (because I was urging you throughout your decoupage trial!!!) Hon, decoupaging with ModPodge is 99% easier if you tear your pieces and yes, smaller is better, but when you tear the paper instead of cutting, the edges seem to "feather" into one another. Take it from an old lady who started "mod podging" back in the sixties!!! Smile.....no worries, everything was gorgeous in the long run!!
Thanks so much for sharing that tip! I appreciate that and I will give it a try! Thanks Again and You have a WONDERFUL weekend!
Hi from Canada.
Hi Denise!!! XOXO
Everything is beautiful as always 💖 I absolutely loved the bird cage 😍 Thank you for sharing your creativity with us, Kelly!!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it, Jed&Kate!!! XOXO
I heard but have not tried yet, when decoupaging, use a plastic piece like a bag or saran wrap and you can easily smooth wrinkles.
Great projects!
Thank you, JoAnn E!!! I appreciate that! XOXO
Loved what you did with the bird cage and the dress form. Just loved it.
Thank you so much, Darlene! I'm so glad you loved the projects! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to let me know!!! XOXO You have a BEAUTIFUL night!
Love that age 😊😊😊
Just za thought, but you maybe could have put a wooden ball, painted, with one area sanded flat to match the dressform botto and glue it down firm,y. The other side is round to fit the curve of the top of the candlestick, so glue that into the center. It would give the inserted ball the look of being the center of a flower and the dress form growing out of it. Less work for you. Love the channel and watch you religiously!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I just love the tassels, its a shame you didn't like them! Lovely video!
Hi Jan! Thank you for the sweet comment on the video! And, no...I'm sorry, Jan....the tassels just weren't for me! I still have them, maybe I will use them on something else, though. Thanks Again for the comment and for watching!!!
Love your videos 😇
AwHhhh....thank you, Judy!!!! I appreciate that so much!!! XOXO
Great job on all but I think your mod Podge was a bit too thick or you didn't have enough on the bottom. You need to really saturate your bottom layer so the paper will get really wet. Sometimes it even helps to wrinkle your paper up, which softens it, so it will be much easier to lay. But if the glue on the bottom isn't evenly layered, you will have air pockets. I just adore your work, love your videos, love your talent!
Great video
Thank you, Simone!!! I really appreciate that! XOXO
Shame on you Kelly for opening your paint with your scissors…. Lol
Great projects!!!
I know...I probably shouldn't have done that, especially when I just said I didn't want to ruin my scissors as I was cutting a BIG hole in that very hard paper mâché dress form just minutes earlier! LOL HEE HEE You're so funny! I LOVE it! Thanks so much for making me laugh, Trina! XOXO
I love recycling!! Thank you. I was in a Flea Market Store today and they had all kinds of project items. The darn minute I walked in I started looking at stuff and my mind went blank as to what I needed to start a project. I found 3 bags of corks $2 a bag. I grabbed them up right away. I need to remember not to go crazy when I walk in a place. Any suggestions?
Hi Susan! OH...that's AWESOME you went out thrifting...it's one of my favorite things to do!!! I love recycling, too! You are so funny when you wrote..."your mind went blank"! LOL Sometimes...I have to stop and think...."Alright, what are you really going to do with this?!?!" It's easy to go crazy because you can have a flood of ideas but just think about the amount of return on an item. Is it going to require too much time to recycle? Is it more time than what the item is worth? Otherwise you can get so much stuff and be overwhelmed! Some things I need to pass up because they just aren't worth all the effort needed to make them work. That will help in deciding whether or not to purchase something. Hope that helps! XOXO
Put in corks in your description on CZcams or Pinterest and watch videos for info. Same way with any project. I usually save things of interest , especially Pinterest. I save them by category’s like jewelry, tea cups, etc. I review my files once in awhile.
Have a project in mind when thrifting. Look for what you need for the project.
Make a list of items you are looking for before you go in the store.
It's amazing the difference a change makes in a piecs. This bird cage went from mediocre to stunning using the molds. It's absolutely awesome now !!
Your dress form is drop dead gorgeous. I love her, but I think she needs some pearls around her neck !!!
Thank you, June!!! Funny you should say about putting pearls around her neck...I have a full dress form displayed in my bedroom and I have pearls around the neck of it! LOL Great minds think a like!!! Anyway, thanks for sharing and you have a WONDERFUL weekend!!! XOXO
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I use paper clay with my molds. Can I freeze molds made using paper clay? Such a great idea! 👍🏼🥰
Wouldn’t a spoon help you get the mold clay out of the containers better or is there a reason why you can’t use a spoon against the clay.
A brayer would help you with smooth out your clay in the mold and cut out the excess and a credit or the circuit spatula would do. Things I have witnessed other crafters use.
Non skid mat would be great under the dress form to keep it from moving around so much.
Have you ever watched a tutorial on paper mache? Internet is a wonderful tool.
Please don't think I am trying to be snarky, you seem to be struggling.
The bird cage turned out great.,added eggs 🥚 to the nest would have been perfect. That's what I did to mines.but you did a wonderful job 👏. Thank you
Great Suggestion, Mary!!! Thanks for that and thank you for the wonderful compliment!!! XOXO
I love what you did with the birdcage, but I'm just not crazy about black wax.
Hi Eunice! That's ok...I understand! You could always leave it just white and skip the black wax if you wanted to make something similar. Anyway, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment, Eunice! XOXO
❤️
Another awesome video!!! So incredibly talented. Could you tell me where you purchased the newspaper tissue?
Glad your Mom is doing well.
Thoughts and prayers going out to her for a speedy recovery. 🙂🙂❤🙏🙏
Hi Aileen! You are so sweet! Thank you so much!!! I truly appreciate that! Ok..the newspaper tissue is by Prima Re Design and it's called Newsprint Decoupage Paper. I got it from SweetPickinsPaint. Here's a link to it: www.etsy.com/listing/1093355581/newsprint-decoupage-decor-o-tissue-paper?ref=yr_purchases
Also, I want to thank you for the thoughts and prayers for my Mom....it really means a lot to me, Aileen! XOXO
What brand name tissue paper did you use on the dress form? And where did you get it? Love your videos. Watch every one I can get my hands on. You have great talent! Thanks
I love the bird cage. Good job. 👍 can I use air dry clay????
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS...THE MANNEQUIN IS AWESOME
I haven't seen your mom in a long time does she still do videos with you? Thanks for the tip on freezing the molds.
Hi Kim! Well, she has been having a few health issues and just had surgery, however, everything went well and is on the mend. My Mom is in her 70's and she kind of likes to do her own thing. CZcams can be like a job at times and she likes to be able to do things with her friends, etc....without the pressure of a schedule for taping. She doesn't want another job, she always jokes. HEE HEE My Mom and I still go thrifting together and go out to lunch, but she doesn't want to commit herself to doing videos....which I totally understand! I tell her...everyone is always asking about her and would love to see her....so, we'll see. Maybe I can get her to do another episode. I guess it's....To be continued..... HEE HEE Thanks for asking about her! XOXO
@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE well i don't blame her for wanting to do her own thing! Im happy to hear that she is doing good take care of each other.
Omg that mannequin is fabulous!!!! Now... how can I make the form part??😁🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Gayle! I found the dress form at the Thrift Store, however, I saw on Hobby Lobby's website that they have a similar paper mâché dress form for $14.99. Hope that helps! XOXO
If u cut the paper like when making a blouse and a skirt it was more easy no waste and faster that is like when we are making a pinata 🪅
Thanks for the tip, Maria!!! I appreciate that!!! XOXO
So great seeing you! How’s your mom?
AwHHh...thanks so much, Pam!!! She's doing great!!! I'm so happy the surgery went well! That was so nerve racking!!! Anyway, thank for asking and thanks for the sweet comment! XOXO
@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE That is great news, Kelly!
Hi Kelly. Hope you guys are safe and well. Do you get a lot of cracking once your clay dries? And how important is it to keep your clay supplies airtight? Does it last the distance is what I am asking. I see you have two reasonable sized pots of each. I like the birdcage. I was a bit sad that you painted the existing birds, but I understand they were not your style. Bless you are your mom
Hi Fiona! The Magic Sculpt never dries up, until you mix two equal parts of it together. Now, if you're using Paperclay, which I do use a lot too...that will dry up on you, unless you put it in an air tight ziplock bag. If you have any questions...don't hesitate to ask! PS>I'm sorry I made you sad by painting over the birds. : ( I had to, though...it just wasn't me or what I like. Hope you understand. XOXO
i love everything, however I would have left the tassels on the bird cage. and maybe just moss no greenery. Same with the dress form. anyhow, that is just me.
LOVE LOVE the dress form may I ask where you got the paper ? If you said it on the video I was probably pouring me another cup of coffee too its currently 22 out side this morning Burrrrr anyhow thanks Kelly for another inspirational video I also love that bird cage I have the bird mold and need to try it on something
P.S . hope your momma is doing well too !
Much love and light from Utah
Hi Cindy! I got the paper on Etsy from SweetPickinsPaint. It's called Newsprint by Prima Re-design. Here's a link: www.etsy.com/listing/1093355581/newsprint-decoupage-decor-o-tissue-paper?ref=yr_purchases Thank you so much for the sweet comment and yes...my mom is doing great! I couldn't be more thankful that everything went well! You have a WONDERFUL day, Cindy and Thanks Again!!! XOXO
If the surface was rounded would it allow the clay to “mold”?
Hey, Delaine! Yes, you most definitely could mold these around a rounded piece because they are very flexible before they dry. If you have any questions...don't hesitate to email me or send me a text! Nice talking to you, today!!! : )
@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE I thought others might want to know the answer too. I bought a small Easter egg mold from TJ max - hope it works - has anyone tried molding with other molds?
Where did you get the news paper from?
I use air dry clay, is there a benefit to using the resins in the molds thanks 😇
I actually use both...but, I probably use the resin more. The reason I use resin is because it is so durable. I make all my furniture applique pieces out of it so that I don't have to worry if a piece gets knocked around that the applique piece is going to break. Also, I make finished pieces and sell them on Etsy....so, for all my finished appliqué pieces I use the resin, as well because there is less chance of them getting broken in transport. Hope that helps explain the benefit of resin...it's durable.
How do you keep your fingers from getting full of the podge? I have an awful time with fingers getting full!
Kathryn, I had to keep washing my hands in-between applying pieces because you're absolutely right....your fingers get full of pod podge!!! There's no way around it unless you wear gloves but even then you'd have to be changing them frequently. I have to say...it was totally worth it, though!! I love the dress form and I'm going to keep it!!!
Do you take the price tags off of the back?
Even though, I didn't in the video....yes, you should always take the price tag off, otherwise...the people are going to want it for whatever the sticker says. I have forgotten to take stickers off and have had people say, "Well...it says this on the back...so, can I have it for that?" Always take your stickers off, otherwise you just run into problems!
Where did you get the paper you used on the dress form?
I bought that off of Etsy...from Sweet Pickins' Paint. Here's the link: www.etsy.com/listing/1093355581/newsprint-decoupage-decor-o-tissue-paper The paper is called Newsprint Decoupage Decor Tissue and it's by Prima Re-design. Hope that helps! XOXO
Does Debbie have a page? X
send me the tassles
Conforming the paper to the mannequin would be easier and more effective if you used a razor blade rather than scissors.
I don’t know if you edited your Video before publishing, but couldn’t see half of what you were doing.
