4. Knick Knacks
Knick Knacks are so much fun– they bring personality and character to a book shelf, desk, or room. Some of my favorite knick knacks are pictured above– an owl for 75 cents from the thrift store, a ceramic bird for 50 cents from a thrift store, and a vintage jar that my mom bought for me at a garage sale. Here are a few projects that show how you can transform average knick knacks:
- Knick Knack Update from Lisa Leonard Blog
- Spray Paint Ugly Knick-Knacks from Make: Craft — they even make a gnome look chic!
- Turn Garden Statues into Bookends from Dollar Store Crafts
- DIY Animal Bookends and Brass Figurines by Little Green Notebook
Remember, though, don’t just buy knick knacks to buy them. Buy knick knacks that show your personality and style!
Next>> Fabric
Good topic to cover. It’s strange to me though how reusing is trendy when many my age and older have done this most of our lives. I buy as many supplies as I can from thrift stores, etc. I feel fortunate when I find a large stash of fabric or yarn someone gave to the thrift shop 🙂

I love buying craft supplies at thrift stores, and re purposing trash into supplies. Not everyone has the time to scour thrift stores however. Also when you have a project and you need an awesome blue tie, you might not be able to find one that same day at your local thrift store. That’s why I started Courgette, my Artfire shop to share my vintage and repurposed craft supplies.
