   I went to Home Depot just yesterday and asked about those wood scraps. That’s the key word, scraps, on the small side, but the bigger pieces were not free. Granted they were 70% off, but NOT FREE! You’d think they’d be happy to get rid of the pile of odd pieces of wood taking up space.

   THANKS for the reminder to do up some scrap wood projects! Just grabbed some of your graphics on Etsy….I was wondering how to spend that last few $$ of my gift card! I have used the method you use to transfer designs before with varied success. I did it with floral prints and copied them at a local fedex with colored laser ink. Some of the color rubbed off too but it worked to make it more vintage. Out to the garage tomorrow. I just happened across your channel recently and really enjoy it. I love to up-cycle and flip furniture and anything I can find. It drives my husband crazy. I have about 100 little OUI yogurt jars. Trying different things with them, great vanity jars for cotton swabs/balls. Would like to see your ideas for them.

   Engine enamel sounds like something I wouldn’t have near food or drinks 😅

   Deidre, do you have a video link on how you made the tags on the coasters? I may have overlooked it when I searched through your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge!!

    Hi again Diedra!! I have been preparing for my 1st Craft Show in October… I have a couple of questions… I’ve been picking up EVERY piece of wood I see for free or next to nothing… I recently found a television armoire that had fallen out of a pickup truck ( I guess…) But it HUGE and only has a couple of pieces busted off it.. but the whole sides ( 3 ft wide 6ft tall) are in perfect shape! The shelves inside it are the same way… I know I can make signs with it. But my question is… Can you use pressed wood to make bread boards?

    What software do you use to design your graphics?

    When do I use polyacrylic or polyurethane??

    Where do you buy your big ball of wax you rub on your pieces?

    A little tip to help with a vintage wood look and feel. Get a wire brush wheel for a drill and use it on the surfaces around the writing. It scrapes away the softer part of the wood and leaves the harder parts. Gives the look and feel of reclaimed barn wood.

    is the Engine Enamel non toxic. I can just see a 1 year old grabbing one of those coasters and putting it in their mouth. Will that harm them?

    
    
    
20. Wendy Smith on January 28, 2023 at 4:06 am

    Have you ever used plywood for bread boards… Or does it look too cheap? Maybe if I paint it vs stain?

    1) Balls, Canada is expensive! 😱(Though you do have a higher GNP per capita, so a higher average standard of living than the States, so you’ve got that going for you! lol)

    2) I love these ideas! Gosh, the shutter slat idea?! Shut.up. I just saw some free shutters on fb or craigslist & couldn’t think of a quick turnaround idea for them & didn’t want tons of stuff taking up space in the garage. This is more work than just painting or decorating a shutter for a wall decor, but also loads more income potential. Thanks for that! And the "shelf sitters?" Well, I’ve definitely got some pieces in my scrap bin in the garage that would work for those. Awesome ideas & tips! Thank you!!! 😍🥰🙏

    Excuse me while I go see if those shutters are still available! 😉 (Also, I’ll have to check again if Home Depot or other local hardware/home improvement stores have the free scrap cuts bin. Haven’t found them before, & even the "oops" or deformed wood is selling at a higher price than standard lumber was 2 yrs ago!!!)

    Craft shows usually have entry fees which must be overcome before there is any profit made.

    Wow! This was so helpful. I’m doing my first big craft fair in November, and was looking for something else to add! Your way of explaining, and sharing of tips to be a successful vendor is much appreciated.

    I’ve found out my local library uses a laser jet printer so I can try the midge podge transfer 😁

    I would love to know where you are selling your items. My husband has made several coat hanger boards in cherry and walnut that are stunning and not one nibble online. He makes ladders out of branches and gorgeous farmhouse benches with walnut and red oak. Nothing. It’s very discouraging.

    Bit too much advertising about things that are not made of scrap wood that would cost money

    
    
    
42. Eddie Henrard on January 28, 2023 at 4:32 am

    If you use the shiny backing paper from self adhesive labels to reverse print on (with laser printer) it comes away without all the bother of rubbing after the Mod Podge dries.

    Dear Diedre, I ordered your chalk paint recipe book on Etsy on 10/29 and haven’t received it yet. I know things are crazier than they used to be for mail, etc. just want to make sure the order was received. I’ve never purchased via Etsy before. If there’s an email or more appropriate way to contact…please advise. Thank you! I’m learning so much from your videos
