1st Rate 2nd Hand Thrift Store

Well, have you ever decided what to do with those old leather pants that haven't fit in years? I did have some, I swear. Or what if there aren't enough notches in that belt? It's a good thing that we have first, right, second hand on because Jenny Pugiano, sorry, Jenny, I know I botched that, has some fun ideas. So those items don't go to waste. So hi, Jenny. I'm sorry. Hi. I know. So you are going to tell us about giving these items a second chance? Exactly. Very often people come into the thrift stores and you look through those old 1980s leathers and unless you're maybe 18 years old and this big, you're probably not buying them. So I want to encourage you to take them home and experiment with them. This was a pair of pants. Oh, this is what mine were They were the suede. Yeah. This is a very tiny, waisted, very pleated pair of 1980s pants. Very pleated. This was a gorgeous skirt but that was too small. This was a purse with a hole in it. Oh, what a good idea. So you just cut things up and all of a sudden you've got this wonderful fabric to do things with and it'super easy. A lot of people And the same thing with leather. Gotcha. It looks intimidating but it's really not. I would have never thought to cut a purse that had a hole in it. And just to save a panel. Exactly. So what I brought for you today are some super easy projects and some more complicated projects so you can start off with something as super simple as a bookmark. Okay. I just fringed the end. Two. Cut a little piece out. This is a nice holiday gift for a whole bunch of people. Yeah. These I made little key chains out of those.
