Repurposed & Redone: C.R.A.F.T



Hi Life as a Thirfter readers! I'm Jamie from C.R.A.F.T. (It's an acronym for Creating Really Awesome Free Things), and I'm excited to be a part of Holly's series!

Thrifting is one of my very favorite things! It's like a treasure hunt where you can find the gold over and over, ha! Here are 5 of my best and favorite thrift store projects...

1. Reupholster a chair- This is kind of a lie because I did not find this chair at a thrift store. I found it my FL apartment when we moved to last year! This sucker cost nada! Re-upholstery on a chair like this is not that hard. I am currently on the hunt for a similar to chair!

  2. Interactive travel map- I found the cork board at Good Will for couple bucks and used a Dremel to shape into the United States.

3. Thrift store side table makeover: I bought this little beauty at a thrift store for $15, and gave it a complete makeover! I love how it turned out!paint wood furniture

4. Organize your kitchen on a door: This might bem y favorite thrift store project! That door cost me $5 and saved my tiny kitchen.

5. Shot glasses: I found an entire set of shot glasses at a thrift store for $1.99. I gave them a little glass paint, and voila... brand new!

    I love all of these ideas. I'm really excited to check out the chair tutorial. I've passed up quite a few chairs at thrift stores because I didn't know how to redo them.
