My crackle effect stamp is Stampendous Grunge, but I've had it a long time and didn't find it on Amazon. Ebay might have it. Here's a similar stamp to get the crackle effect:

I not only love your crafting style, but I just enjoy listening to you chat as you work---you have a great sense of humor & a wonderful attitude whether things are working out or not. Thanks for sharing & I look forward to your video next week!
😄 Crafting is a grand adventure, where you are never quite sure how something will turn out... and I think it's important to share the "no-go's" along with the wins. If I can save a friend a step or two, that's lovely! Thank you for your very kind words! 😊 💕
I loved your projects but what I really need to comment on is your glorious head of hair. My goodness it's beautiful!
You are too kind, especially since I'm afraid I stick my head in front of the camera and give unintentional closeups of my gray roots!! 😄 You should see my daughters' hair. All three of them have twice the hair I do! These days it takes me twice as long to look half as good, so your compliment has me ✈️ 💕 🌞
Marla !!!! Your hair looks Beautiful 🎉. Glad your back doing your wonderful videos. Your were truly missed 🌻
Thank you so much!! You are very kind! 😊 💕
Hello Marla, you make me want to get back to crafting. Those hymn rolls were so sweet, really I loved it all. About picking things up on the side of the road, today I saw a table probably for outdoor use, but my husband wouldn't stop lol. Back in the 70's on Thursdays was special trash day, me and my mom use to get some really good stuff. I miss those days. You take care and God Bless ❤your hair looks gorgeous 🥰 Brenda
Brenda, you are so sweet! 😊 The special trash days with your mom sound fabulous! I'm excited just to hear about that! I keep a keen eye on those piles at the curb. When my son Joel sees me slowing down, he says "just drive on by... resist... nothing to see there..." 😄 🤣 😂
Marla!!! U knocked it out of the park.. I loved them all… can’t even pick a favorite ❤️
😄 thanks! This was an especially good group of flips! But the ice cream bucket is my favorite 😍
Oh my gosh! I have a crackle stamp!......I never thought about using it when I painted and distressed pieces. Thank you so, so much for sharing that idea! The child's stool is my absolute favorite. All your chippy pieces now look like they have a past, but this stool will soon have many new stories to tell from your grandbabies around the table. ❤ Also I am one of the ones who never knew it was that simple to tie a square knot...right over left; left over right. I'll always remember that now. What a great video, Marla. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and talent with us. ❤
The square knot 🪢... my daddy was an Eagle Scout, and I am married to and the mother of outdoorsmen! They've tried to teach me other knots but I can't remember how 😄 I am so excited for you to try using your crackle stamp on a furniture flip! Let me know how it turns out! My daughter saw the painted and distressed child's chair, and said "Wow, it's remarkably strong to be that old!" 😆 best genuine unintentional compliment EVER! She didn't recognize it was the same chair the kids had already been using at my table!
I just love watching your videos. Your voice is soothing. And your inspiration is refreshing. Thank you Marla. Truly an enjoyment watching.
I am watching from Brisbane in Australia and looove Marla’s voice and accent.
Thank you, Connie! 😊 ❤
Loumac, I don't think about my accent until someone else notices it... I am of Appalachian heritage and my voice proves it! 😅❤
I really like the results you achieved on all of these projects. It’s also very relaxing to listen to you while you are explaining your creative process.
What a sweet compliment! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed watching. Thanks so much! 💕
Girl that ice cream bucket was just freakin awesome!!!
😃 Thanks, Karen! It was maybe my favorite one! 😍 💕
I absolutely love the ice cream bucket, chair and the pink stool. I really enjoy watching your channel.
😃 Thanks so much, Sherry! I love making things look 100 years old! 💕
Loved all your projects today especially the doily bowl cover and strong the attached underneath! Great 👍 idea! ❤👍😊❤😁
Thanks, Evelyn! I think bowl covers are used by people who bake bread at home, but until I become one of those people, mine are basically dust covers! 😄 I want to learn to bake bread, though! 🍞
You're amazing, your work is amazing, your personality is amazing, and you teach absolutely amazingly! Did I say amazing enough times?!? 😂 Sorry, it's just very true. You don't try to take Dollar Tree crap and turn it into "high end" home decor, but instead you still take inexpensive thrifts and so a stunning job updating them ❤❤❤ I'll always be coming back looking for new videos! Thank you for all of the inspiration you've given me 😊
Paige, I'm not sure who is furnishing their home with Dollar Tree stuff glued together, but clearly their people are not as rough as we are!! 😄 🤣 😂 I always observed that my five children required Little Tykes /heavy duty toys, or they'd be broken in one week. I feel the same about the DT items (maybe a few exceptions). I'm so glad you'll be watching for more "sturdy" but high end flips!! 🌞🏡
And I must point out that I did use Dollar Tree 8x10 frames for my embellished frames project... so I'm not "anti" DT, just selective 😉
You’re my fav “aging specialist” 😂
😄 I love it!! ❤️
Your thrift flips are my favourite. Your are so creative and talented. Love the pink bench.
Thanks! 😊 that pink step stool is fulfilling an urge for girly details in this house of men! 😄
Us crafters are like little girls playing house and redecorating. I just thought about that the other days when i was redecorating my bedroom. Like a little girl its all pink flowers and lace. Love the little chair.
Thanks, Donna! I'm loving the painted chair! And I'll bet your pink lacy room is so lovely! 😍
That was such fun. Thank you. So glad you found a use for the floral curtain fabric .love the print on it . Ben, please hide that boxcutter ... Marla is cutting up the furniture !! God bless you all.
You're cracking me up!! I promise to only cut up the non-valuable items! 😂😅😄
Excellent job in making those new items look authentically old!
Thank you! 😃 I may be an aging expert 😆 🤣 😂
@@marlacainraisingcain1031 That’s a good thing to be an expert at….if we are lucky, we cannot avoid aging!
Wow! First time watcher, and I absolutely love your techniques for making things look old and chippy. Thanks for sharing.
So happy to meet you, Jodie! 👋😃 I do love to make things 100 years old 😄 and I'm glad you enjoyed seeing how I do it! 💕
love, love, love the chair and the little baby pink stool...my husband came in one day as I was "distressing" a piece I had painted the previous day, he watches for a while and then says, "I just don't understand you, you painted the piece, now you are sanding a lot of the paint off and making it look old and worn out?" I just grinned ad said "exactly!"
I love it!! 😄 we know what we're doing... but our husbands don't!! 💃 ✨️
I loved, loved watching you create these gems❤❤❤
I'm so glad, Charlene! 😃 💕
First time viewer and where have you been. I am a very old woman who lived in those times that you are trying to recreate....It was a wonderful time and I still own much of those old chippy pieces. It was fun to see someone who really loved the days gone by. I promise I will be watching you as much as I can...Thank you for a wonderful video and evening.
Well I've been right here in north Alabama, and I am tickled to meet you! Yes mam, I really do love antiques and vintage things. Probably 1940s era is my favorite. I was raised by antique collectors! It shaped who I am, and my taste in decor! I'm so glad you'll be watching more! 😊 💕

What great thrift flips! Everything looks so pretty. You definitely inspired me. Can't wait for the next flip video.✌❤🙏
Thank you, Sandra! 😃 I'm already working on the next video! 🎉
I love the frames and the light switch. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you.
Aw, I'm so happy to hear that my ideas are useful to you! 😃 ✨️ Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed watching your thrift flip transformations. You are incredibly creative. Thank you for the inspiration ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed! 😃 Thanks for the kind words, and for taking the time to comment! 💕
All the projects came out so beatifully
Thank you, Anita! 😃 💕
You are definitely an artist!.
😄 of sorts!! I sure do ENJOY it! 😊
I am so glad you are able to get working on your crafts! My fathers family were predominately painters. He told me that his grandfather had a large family and was able to create his own union, 😂😮. My great grandfather had a wife that birthed 16 children and she passed. Then he married again and had 16 more children. Several current family members have worked on our genealogy and confirmed the info of that generation. In the Etowah County. Alabama area if you have the last name of Wimpee you are automatically kin. Don't know why I went on this rant. Thanks for listening though and thanks for your video and all of the comments. Helps an old lady when she can't get out much. God bless you Marla and your family. Have a great rest of your week. Sherry from Etowah County Alabama.
You know I'm from Etowah County, right?? All my family graduated from Etowah High School. My momma grew up at Noccalula on Tabor Road. My daddy's people are from Gallant. Momma and daddy still live at Gallant ❤️
You do have a soothing voice, I'm really enjoying your channel. Ty
You're very kind! Thanks for watching! 😊 💕
Hello "friend in my head!" LOL I love your videos so much. I have to use a walker and it's so difficult to find thrift stores to go in that are ADA compliant. I enjoy "shopping vicariously" through you. I truly appreciate the way you end your videos. So sweet 💕
😄 I'm happy to be your friend in your head, on the internet, or in real life! 💕 I'm glad you connect with my moments of prayer and faith, too! 😌
I'm so glad I found your channel. Absolutely enjoyed wathing it!
I'm so glad, too! It tickles me to know you enjoyed watching my video! 😊 ❤️
Great video, Marla. I love everything, but especially the ice cream bucket and the stool! You nailed it! The box cutter technique really looks like chippy paint.❤❤😊
Thank you, Kat! 😃 I am excited to have come up with some good techniques to get the old chippy look that I admire so much! 💕
Marla you sweet woman. I just found your channel. What a blessing I’d have to say. I have not enjoyed a video this much in quite some time. The first comment I read and every one after said exactly how I feel. Even about the square not. I too did not know. But will also always remember. And you gave me some great ideas for a couple of projects I have coming up. Thanks so much. So so looking forward to future videos! 🤗😁😊
Happy to meet you, Cheryl! 👋😃 I have lots of videos on my channel, so you won't run out for a while 😄 Thank you for all your kind words. You're very sweet. And I'm glad I taught you how to tie a square knot 🪢 😊
Really enjoyed your crafting style and tips
Thanks so much! 😃 ✨️
Oh my goodness, you are beautiful! And girl I don't go anywhere without my lashes! They are a part of me! Just stumbled upon your channel and I love what you do
Kendra, you are my kind of girl!! 😄 I'm so glad you did stumble upon my channel. Thanks for your sweet words, and for taking the time to comment! 💕
I just happened to run across your channel, and I'm so glad I did. I loved everything you did. I loved watching you and listening to you work. You do beautiful work. ❤
Thanks so very much! 😃 I'm happy that you enjoyed watching my projects, and I hope to see you again here in the comments! 💕
You're so pretty.... thank you for sharing!!!
Well that's a sweet comment! 😊 💕 Thanks so much!
Hi Friend! I’ve been enjoying your Videos so much as always! I Love, Love the rolled Hymn pages! I’m inspired to do that as I have a designated Music Room! My family has always gathered and played music thru the years and I love keeping with the music/vintage theme. That will be a nice addition. Also your painted chair and stool turned out Adorable! God Bless!
Hello, Cathy! 😃 I'm happy that you'll be doing some rolled hymn pages for your house! They'll be perfect in your Music Room! 🎶
First time viewer. I like the ideas and how you explain things, but your personality is so pleasant that I could listen to you explain any craft😂
Hey, Lori! 👋😃 I'm so happy to meet you here! Thank you for watching, and for your kind words. I hope to see more comments from you in the future! ✨️
ALL of your projects turned out great! love the picture frame remake - the air dry clay molds making them look ornate! Those hymn pages rolled up are really cute. Your furniture remakes (bucket, stool) and your clay pots look amazing and old and vintage. You did a great job! I really enjoyed this video of do-overs. I appreciate the tips and inspiration - thank you! You are looking particularly beautiful w/your hair down.
Christine, don't let Ben hear you say you like my hair down! He wishes it would grow to my waist and never be in a bun... but I'm too busy and too HOT for that! 😂 🥵
So happy to see you doing videos. Missed you!
Thanks so much! 😊 ✨️
Your eyes are so pretty....fake eyelashes or not! What you did to those picture frames was amazing!
😄 Well, I don't wear them every day, but when I want my eyelashes to not be invisible, I do! 💃 I'm glad you liked the picture frames! It sure made a world of difference from the dollar tree basic frame! 😃
I’m a new subscriber! Your child’s chair gave me inspiration to work on my own child’s chair. I ordered the chippy stamp. Now deciding on color. Thanks so much for the great ideas!
So happy to meet you, Vicki! 👋😃 I'm excited you're going to try the crackle stamp! Let me know how it turns out!! 🪑🖌
The terra potta cots are so cute! I love the ice bucket as well and have been watching for one at a good price. So excited it is yard sale season- might be able to find one 🤞🏻
Terra potta COTS 😄🤣😂 I hope you find a wooden bucket of some kind... you can always paint it and pretend it's old!
I just found your channel I am so excited I love all the ideas you have. I mever knew about the knot. I learned ao much from you in one video, can't wait to watch them all.
Aw, Christie, I'm excited too! 😃 I always love to find a new source of inspiration, and I am so pleased that you're finding ideas on my channel! ✨️ ❤️
This is my first time here and I’m already in love! You make such beautiful things. I subscribed within 5 minutes! ❤
Carla, I am so pleased to meet you here! I appreciate your kind words and I hope to see you again here in the comments section! 😊 💕
Hello! Glad to catch your video. I think we may be kindred spirits. But I am much older than you. 🤣🤣
Does age matter among kindred spirits?? 🤔 😄 No! Love of all things antique and vintage unites us! 💕
Love them all!❤❤❤
Thank you, Carol! 😃
Just found your channel. Love your work and your gentle style.
I'm so happy to meet you! 👋😊 and thank you so much for your sweet words! 💕

Thank you! I think it's my favorite item from this set of flips! 😊
I’m a new subscriber and really enjoyed watching! Thank you.
Nice to meet you, Cindy! 👋😃 Thanks so much for subscribing and commenting! I'm very glad you enjoyed watching! 💕
storing the attachments - dang spell check😤!
Loved these flips!! I have the exact same pink moulds and I really like them. They are definitely a bit fiddly...but I have found that the 10 min resin gives better results than the air dry clay. I have also tried the glue and hairspray technique to achieve the crackle but for whatever reason it has never worked me. I really don't know why. I have experimented with different application and still nothing 😆Blessings, my friend!!
I should try 10 minute resin! Does it harden immediately or remain flexible for a little while? I had crackle success with hairspray ONE TIME, but it often goes wrong, probably due to not being purely acrylic paint, etc. But the stamp works every time! 😄👍
@@marlacainraisingcain1031 The resin stays flexible for a bit. Once it hardens though, you can heat it up with a heat gun or hairdryer to make it flexible again. I need to get myself one of those crackle stamps!
New here. Love your work and your explaining as you go.
Hi, Mary! 👋😃 Thanks so much for your kind words! Very glad you enjoyed watching! 💕
Hi! I very much enjoyed watching you create such wonderful pieces!! And I really appreciate the explanations you give for ageing and roughing up the look of the projects. You have much talent and I wish you the best!! Keep on providing videos, I've got much to learn! ``Margi McGowan 😄😄😄
Hello, Margi! 👋😃 I think making items look 100 years old is my favorite hobby! 🤣 I'm so glad you're finding useful information on my channel! 💕

First time watcher...loved all your ideas! Love your accent, thanks for the inspirations. Where can I buy a crackle sponge?🎉❤
Nice to meet you, Nancy! 👋😃 I'm so glad you enjoyed watching! My crackle effect stamp is Stampendous Grunge, but I've had it a long time and didnt find it on Amazon. Ebay might have it. Here's a similar stamp to get the crackle effect: Welcome to Joyful Home 1pc Background Clear Stamp for Card Making Decoration and Scrapbooking a.co/d/d4VJh4f Or this one: Crackle Background Cover-a-Card Unmounted Cling Rubber Stamp (CC048) a.co/d/fbxt3Tf
Have you ever used candle wax if you're rubbed? Candle wax on those edges and then painted over top of it. All you'd have to do was go back and take a light sandpaper. And just send it and the chippiness would been just in 2 minutes. You wouldn't have to do that with your knife. You're gaging the wood out, which doesn't. It's not the same thing if you put the wax on and rub it off. It looks a lot better. It looks like the page just roughly up-and-coming off.
Yes, I've done the candle wax method, but I wanted the chippy-er look for this. I realize it's cutting a bit of the wood, and I'm fine with that. I'm sure it's a matter of preference, but I did do it on purpose 😊
❤👏👏👏👏
Marla, you can make a garland out of the hymn pages.I used then jute string. I hung mine across shelves that have vintage dishes in it and it was so pretty. You can also make a garland from the rolled ones. Picture it hanging over your mantle or across some book shelves. I had an idea to put a rolled one in an old bottle like a message in a bottle. That would be a sweet gift.
Ok, now I want to do EVERY ONE of these ideas!! 😄 Thanks for such great suggestions, and don't be surprised if you see them in my future videos 😉 ✨️

I see you, precious Aunt 😊 💕
Everything was so pretty, where did you get that sponge I love it? And your hair looks so pretty ❤

Hi there!! My first time happening g upon you. Love your soft calming voice and stories as your crafting! Love your projects also🎉🎉 I love your sheep picture , where did you find it! Jeanne Baton Rouge 21:08
Hello, Jeanne! 👋😃 So glad to meet you! Thanks for your kind words! I made my sheep picture myself, and featured it on a thrift flips video from last spring. Here's the link: kzhead.info/sun/fdiJZM-kf3xshas/bejne.htmlsi=RMCoISLx-yPfBCJI
I heard you mention Chattanooga Tn. In one of your videos, do you live close to there? I live in Ringgold a couple of miles away.
We drive through Chattanooga and just past Ringgold (or at least the exit signs on the interstate) on our way to Hiwassee and Nantahala for kayaking and camping! I live in North Alabama, about an hour south of Huntsville, near Lake Guntersville. I'm also only about an hour from Chattanooga! 😃
Couldn’t you have used the bands you took off? But if you just didn’t want them,you can buy rusty wire, nails, safety pins,etc. if you didn’t want to rusty them up yourself.
I guess I could have, but the photo of the authentic ice cream freezers showed wire, so that's what I wanted it to look like. I am curious now whether I could make those bands look rusty and old. They are so glossy, I kind of think whatever I do to make them rusty it would scrape off. That bucket sat outside 2 years at my house and those bands did not rust one bit! 😄 Maybe they're made of space shuttle material 🤔 🚀

What? And you are a Christian? Girl I am here to stay!
🙌 I love Jesus and I ain't afraid to talk about Him! And to pray for all of you 😊
@@marlacainraisingcain1031 I am so glad Jesus is everything to me!!
