Hello Shiny Crafty People and welcome back to the channel!
Today I'm showing off my recent haul from the Dollar Tree! This great U.S.-based store sells everything for $1.25 or less, which means there are so many interesting and unusual items available in unique sizes. I've found that many of the items can be repurposed to help with sewing or crafting!

I had my little safety scissors on the retractable thingy for a one-day sewing retreat a couple of years ago. All day I was snipping off stray long thread ends and still was able to find my snipper when I needed them again. Awesome finds today. Thanks for sharing.

I sew for dolls quite a bit and I like to keep the plastic shells that grocery store bakeries sell muffins and pasties in. Many are hinged and they have a snapping feature. I sort my projects in them. Plus...I get to eat muffins!

I’ve used the scissor idea but I like to use a lanyard . I understand you are showing $ Tree items and they don’t have lanyards. Even though I use the lanyard a lot, you cannot imagine the number of times I’ve been looking for my scissors and they are around my neck! Love your reviews and project ideas.

Great ideas! RE: the small pink clamps are coated in oil (to prevent rust during shipping) which means you shouldn't wash in water. I dusted mine with corn starch to soak up the oil, then brush the powder off. Otherwise the oily film could stain fabric or paper.

I love all the crafty and container goodness at DT! The only thing that continues to disappoint is the JOT glue sticks. Always dried to a rubbery substance when I get them for some reason. The Elmers ones are usually fine. Great 💡 ideas! Love the little lights for the sewing machine.

I like the pink finger tips. I wear one when I use the hot glue gun. It saves my finger from getting burn

@classylady1947 Жыл бұрын

I get so much from your videos, thank you. I use a lanyard with a clip on the end to hold my scissors and I wear it around my neck when I'm crafting so I never have to search for them, it saves a lot of hunting lol. As for the dish towel and pot holder I open the dish towel then refold to the size of the potholder. I place the potholder in the center of the open dishtowel that is right side up. Sew across the middle of the potholder and dishtowel fold it in half and sew a button on the potholder opposite the loop you have a hanging dishtowel. You can hang it from the oven if it has a bar.

Hi I’m bk!!! Great tips! I use some of these already … I have my small nippers & a small pr of scissors on cords that I wear around my neck. After you repeatedly pick them off the floor the light bulb goes off, lol!! But I definitely like the retractable idea. There’s always idea(s) that you haven’t heard of… right!! Thank you!!

Timothy, this tip is actually for the Blue-Ray DVD. If you have a computer, then I think that you can play the dvd on your computer? It’s very old-school way to watch DVD’s. My grown daughter’s still watch DVD’s this way. They don’t have a DVD player either. My son watches movies thus way as well!

I need retractable gadget & the lights for serger ! I have the worst time with light bulb on my serger 😡, the other day while pressing the hem on some huge curtains, I was using a metal measuring guides & pressing , as I was setting iron down my phone rings ! I quickly turned to my left , iron almost slipped off board my little fiskars did slip they landed on my right foot right below my little toe! I was wearing pair of clogs , then I see blood everywhere, took off my shoe , cleaned my foot but blood wouldn’t stop flowing, ran some water on it , the scissors missed a vein by a hair 😳! With this gadget you can clip to something & possibly avoid an accident like mine !
