Thrift With Me At Goodwill Bins + DIY Projects • Goodwill Outlet Finds + Home Decor An A Budget

In today's video we are headed into the Goodwill outlet bins. And I want to thank Squarespace for sponsoring today's video. Wow it is really empty in here today so if you haven't been to the bins before it's all of these bins full of stuff and they change them out all day long. It's like a treasure hunt you never know what you're gonna find from day to day so I'm gonna challenge myself to see what I can find what I can bring home to DIY and style in my home. Okay I know this is tiny but this is cute and I'm sure I can find something to put in it. Oh you know be cute maybe we can make a tiny little topiary. I grabbed a styrofoam ball and a wooden skewer out of my stash and I also had this moss. I'm pretty positive I got this from the Goodwill bins and I really like it because it is so natural looking. It even has dirt and leaves and everything in it. I'm using a hot glue gun to attach the moss and I'm just gonna keep going around my styrofoam ball until it is completely covered. I used a Dixie Vale Van Dyke antiquing clays to make the stick have a you know older age look. I want to embellish it a little bit so I'm gonna use IOD apothecary labels. You get all of these different fonts as well as cute little labels so I'm gonna spell out the word grow using the small I think this is the smallest font option that they have with this stamp. I'm attaching the label I just made along with this cute little lace bow to the stick and then all I have to do is attach the stick to the little pot that I found at the Goodwill bins that inspired this project. Do y'all remember that $3 secretary desk I got at the Goodwill bins? Guess what it made the cut at the new house it looks so perfect in this little area so this is where I decided to style the topiary but I couldn't decide if I liked it at the top or down here with a canister so let me know where you think I should put it. And if you're wondering about the pricing everything is priced different here these little figurines and home decor pieces are priced about a cashier and other items like shoes and clothing have a set price but honestly everything is so cheap that I do not even worry about the price if I like it I'm gonna get it. Here's a little basket of Christmas items let's see what's in here a little clay Santa I love those pine cone looks like there's some little wooden things in here just a few different little Christmas items but nothing special. Here is a cute little glass top I love the little scalloped edge but I do not see the base that goes with this I think I'm just going to put it in my cart because you never know you might come across the bottom of it somewhere else at the Goodwill bins. Looks like we have lots of little figurines right here some broken pieces here's some more figurines so people will you know take this stuff out and put it on top and try to rescue it I do that all the time. Here's a little sheet I mean I might need this sheet for a little vignette I love these little pieces just to put in front of something that I'm decorating some more figurines right here but don't see any that I'm interested in. I spy an oval frame this one is adorable I can't tell if it's wood or plastic but it doesn't matter it's going in the cart. I love oval frames and this one was the perfect size to put on my bookshelves I just added a sweet little picture of baby Wren. Let's see what else is in these bins. A little wood frame, some beads, wooden toaster. I like this little jar with the florals but it's glued to this piece right here. What is this? Stop! Peasant art! I love this. Normally I would remove the lace but this super hip guy at the Goodwill bins said he liked it and it was a granny chic so what y'all think leave the lace on or take it off? They have this wood cut out in here and I cannot figure out what this is. Do y'all know what this is? Leave a comment below because I cannot figure it out. Here's some white canisters. I like the shape of them but they are broken up and very very dirty so I think I'm gonna leave them here. A little cardboard card box. Here's a little, what are these called? I don't know the name escapes me but they are fun to DIY and these little shelf sitters are great to have in your DIY stash. Ooh a skeleton! I need this to style on some books I just made that y'all have got to see. They came out so cool. I don't like the way these cheap skulls look but it is very easy to make them look more expensive and more high end so I'm taking a Dixie Bell chalk paint in the color Magnolia which is a very beautiful warm white. I'm gonna cover the entire thing then I'm gonna come back with a paper towel and just kind of not wipe it but kind of push it down and the paper towel just gives it like a really cool natural looking texture. If you don't know I have a VIP group and every Monday I go live in there and create something. Well this week they wanted to play with the Dixie Bell patina products so I had a stack of these books that were not selling so I decided to paint them. I have used the patina products on many surfaces but this was my first time using it on paper or leather or whatever these books are made out of and I am obsessed. So that was the arn right there. This is the bronze patina paint and then the third one is the copper. On all three of them I did use both the blue and this green spray. That's my favorite when you use the sprays together. Y'all. Y'all. I just love it so much but it was definitely giving me Halloween vibes so when I saw this skull at the Goodwill bins I was like okay I need him and I'm gonna style him with these amazing books.

What is this? Oh it's heavy. I think it was a cow with some rain boots and a rain hat but it's all broken up. If it wasn't broken up I would definitely begin this because it's cute and weird. This looks like a good bin of stuff. I have an ice cream bucket right here. This is like a newer one but these are great. You can paint them. You can put Christmas trees in them. Look they got a bucket. I'm pretty sure they got a Christmas tree in this bin. You could have a whole setup. I don't need any right now. I'm still dealing with all the stuff I got so I'm gonna leave that here. I think this is a lamp right here. We got some kind of Christmas yard art. We got an air fryer right here. A crock pot like all your kitchen needs. Coffee pot right here. What's this? It's a lamp. Look at this basket just sitting here. Oh y'all I think this piece is actually handmade. I love the shape of it. What y'all think? Should I get this? There's nothing wrong with this basket but I feel like the print doesn't really fit my style of decor so I'm gonna tone it down a little bit. I'm gonna use fusion paint in the color cast-iron and I also have a cup of water there because I just want to do a wash. I don't want to completely make it black and if a little bit of that pattern still comes through that is totally fine. So I'm just doing one quick water down coat on here and then I'm gonna let it dry. I love the way it came out with the black wash because you still have some of that brown basket color coming through and I just think this looks a lot better with the style of my house. If you have not gotten one of these inexpensive olive branch trees from Walmart what are you waiting for? I think this might be the seven foot one but I'm sure because I have ordered several of them so I just put it in the little pot and I think it is absolute perfection. The main reason I rescued this is because I absolutely loved the shape of it. Here's an old frame but I love the shape of it and look at that rusty gold. I think I need this. I took everything out the frame because I don't want the matting and I don't want the glass and I could cut a piece to fit the frame but the easiest thing to do is just paint the backer. I don't have to cut anything. It's already the right size so you can paint it whatever color you want or I've also decoupaged the backer or you could add fabric. The possibilities are endless but I'm using Dixie Bell chalk paint in the color Magnolia. I want to make a sign to hang in my bathroom. I'm gonna be using the IOD typesetting stamp. You cannot go wrong with this stamp. It's classic. I've used it for so many different projects. Now I don't have enough letters to make the words so you're not gonna understand what it is. I'm just using random letters as placeholders so I know the spacing and the size that I need. So I'm gonna take my thin mount. I'm gonna pick up the letters and then I'm just going to ink up the ones that you know I actually want to use and then I'm gonna go back and add in the extra letters that I need. And look how good it came out. I absolutely love stamping. You just naturally get this aged look. I think this is gonna look so good with that rusty gold frame. I made this to hang over the toilet room in my bathroom and everything just sounds fancier when you write it in French so that's what I decided to do but I am obsessed y'all with this rusty gold frame. Now I'm gonna be on the lookout for some or maybe we can figure out how to rust our own gold frames. I never found the bottom for this so I'm gonna go ahead and put the lid back up here. So not too many items today but definitely a lot more than what I've been finding at the Goodwill bin. So I'll put a total on the screen of what I spent on this cart of stuff. Hold on I'm scooting back. $3.50 y'all that's why I am addicted to the Goodwill bins. You just cannot beat the prices here and it is a little stressful because I don't know what I'm gonna find but I kind of like that and that's what makes it a Goodwill challenge because I'm like okay what can I find and what can I do with it. So y'all let me know what is y'all favorite project today or favorite item that I found today. Let me know how you like these videos because like I said I find this a little bit fun for me. Gives me a little bit of an extra challenge and if I'm not keeping any of these items you can find them on my website juliesdesignsandsigns.com as well as paint, IOD, and beautiful home decor.
