Hello everyone – Happy almost summer! Abby back with another upcycle project for you all! We LOVE a zero-waste craft in this house, and today’s fits right there! The inspiration for today’s DIY was incredibly random, but am sharing because it illustrates how easy it is to find inspiration anywhere. A few weekends ago, we were driving back from a …
With Mother’s Day around the corner, I wanted to give you an idea for a handmade gift that keeps on giving. Baskets are in no short supply at your local Goodwill and I’m sure you have a can of spray paint sitting around somewhere. Why not revamp a basket as a gorgeous spring planter and give mom some fresh blooms …
Hello everyone – Happy Earth Month! Abby back with another upcycle project for you all! I’ve had this project (well a variation of it that I saw on the Repeller site on Candace Marie Stewart) on my list for YEARS. It’s been sitting in the back of my head just waiting for the perfect blazer/suit to come along to update. …
Welcome back to the 12 Months of Thrifting challenge. This month, in honor of Earth Day, we’re challenging you to DIY or upcycle something using thrifted finds. Did you know that many people donate unused, unburnt candles to Goodwill? Yes! It’s one of my favorite things to thrift because they cost a fraction of the retail price. Ever since my …

Hello February! I wanted to share some low cost/FREE gift ideas for kids on Valentine’s Day. No need to spend lots of money on something they will only use for one day. Use your imagination and make a homemade gift from the heart <3 I made this space ship for my niece’s 3rd birthday last month. I used all items …
Hello thrifters! How’s 2022 going? Personally, I’m not sure how to answer that question, so won’t make you answer it either 🙂 Abby here, and I thought I’d ease us into a DIY with this fun and easy upcycled card and envelope project!

Happy January! As cliché as it may sound to be focusing on organization this month- I always love the feeling of a fresh start in the new year.

Happy New Year, Thrifters – I hope 2022 is off to a good start for you!

I’ve had this DIY saved for years – it’s perfect: it takes a …
