The Joy of Thrift Hauls and DIY Crafts
Hey friends, welcome back to Tourist For You. It's Angela here, and I'm excited to share with you some of the amazing things I've found on my recent thrift haul. In today's video, we'll be focusing on the DIY crafts I made using these thrifted treasures. So let's dive right in!
Making Fun Pieces from Badge Tags
In my previous video, I shared my thrift haul, where I found some interesting badge tags. These tags had little pull-out tabs, which sparked my creativity. I decided to turn them into fun little pieces of art. In one of the crafts, I used a flower to cover up the silver part of the tag, creating a beautiful and personalized piece. These badge tags offer endless possibilities for crafting, so don't hesitate to get creative!
Using Vintage Fabrics and Classroom Borders in Crafts
I also stumbled upon some vintage fabrics at the thrift store, and I couldn't resist buying them. These fabrics have a timeless charm and can be incorporated into a variety of crafts. I found a couple of vintage patterns and decided to create some spools to wrap my lace. I used classroom borders to make unique designs, adding a touch of whimsy to my crafts. With these fabrics and borders, the crafting possibilities are endless.
Showcasing Crafted Pieces
During my thrift haul, I also showcased some of the crafts I made using the thrifted materials. From lovely belly bands to stylish bookmarks, I demonstrated how these thrift store treasures can be transformed into beautiful and personalized pieces. I also shared a few kool-aid dyed book pages and hair clips, showing you the versatility of these materials. The crafts I made are both fun and functional, making them perfect for adding a touch of creativity to your everyday life.
Showing Support to Etsy Owners
As an Etsy owner myself, I understand the importance of supporting fellow artisans and small business owners. That's why, in today's video, I'll be showcasing some Etsy shops that offer amazing digital downloads and printables. Let's dive in and discover the world of digital creativity!
