Do you own some old and out of style spring and Easter decor? Do you have junky thrift stores that sell dusty, out-dated, and even damaged merchandise? Well, don’t despair! In today’s video, I’ll share several ideas for upcycling, repairing, and repurposing these items into unique and beautiful home decor. I’ll show you how to repair cracked and broken concrete, how to repair and enhance broken wicker baskets, how to upcycle plaster Easter eggs, how to make tiny carrots to embellish your Easter decor, and much more!

I enjoyed the entire video . I’ve seen the Peter rabbit clock done before in frames but yours was adorable. Loved the white flowers in the blue and white urn also. Thanks for starting the video by cutting off Shaun the sheep’s legs it was a great intro.

@ellenc.1685 4 ай бұрын

Love how you started the video by severing the little lamb's legs. You get right to it! Loved that you made him into a whimsical rocking lamb. I want to see if you ever incorporate his feet into another project. You might have spent a bit on the cement rabbit but the repair is amazing and I felt happy for him. Loved every project.

Hey Sherry! I love the Peter Rabbit clock shadow box, definitely my favorite, but the rocking lamb was a close second! I thought of you today when my mail came, I won an entire lot of vintage birds and thought, “Sherry would love these!”, as I opened them! ❤ I’m digging out all of my spring items this week, and will take a cue from you as I revamp some of my older things. I have a whole series of different sized cloches running down the center of my dining room table, and will have a fun time creating little vignettes in each of them. I’m so ready for spring!!

You always impress me with your creativity. When you made the mini carrots, I remembered Aleene(glue lady) making a modeling clay with two pieces of white bread, crusts removed and torn into small pieces. She would add a small amount of her tacky glue and knead it until it came together, the cut and shape for her project. Heidi, her daughter would paint with craft acrylic and use it as decor items. The bread never molded or disintegrated. I love how you pull out a throwaway and make a beautiful decor item. Thanks for sharing.

Especially love the orange box with Peter Rabbit and his coat. Another standout is decoupaging the plastic eggs and arranging them in the basket with greenery. Very high end looking. And, as usual, all of these are great. As another retired English teacher, I also love how you correctly use the word "lie" instead of "lay", a balm for all the times I've heard people use those words incorrectly!
