unbelievable thrift store HOLIDAY makeovers!
### DIY Holiday Decor: Thrift Store Finds Turned Christmas Treasures
#### Introduction
Kelsey and Becky, aka The Scigirls, have been crafting for years, and their longest-running series is all about transforming thrift store finds into something special. In this episode, they’re diving into holiday decor and giving us a glimpse of how they turned ordinary thrift store items into extraordinary Christmas treasures.

#### Winter Weather & Holiday Vibes
Kelsey and Becky kick off the video by mentioning that winter has officially arrived, and with snow on the ground, they’re bringing their intro indoors this time. Normally, they film outside their local thrift store, but the wintery weather called for a change of scenery. They’re excited to dive into holiday content, even if Kelsey jokes about not being in the spirit yet. The girls encourage viewers to check out their previous “thrift flips” and comment on what the first one was—it’s clear they’re nostalgic for their early days.

#### Thrift Store Haul
With the camera rolling, the duo heads to the thrift store with a mission: find holiday decor on the cheap. They start by poking fun at the abundance of Christmas items already out, calling it “the grandpa 2001 look” and wondering if this is what Santa would wear today. Their humor lightens the mood as they search for deals.
Kelsey shares that her grandma wants three wreaths for her house but can’t afford them new—ranging from $5 to $10 at the thrift store, these are a steal compared to the $100-plus price tag at craft stores. Becky finds a set of three wreaths that could work as a cohesive set and decides to upcycle them into something special.
Meanwhile, Kelsey spots a wall clock she immediately envisions as a tiny apartment-sized fireplace mantel. The clock is broken, but its shape makes it perfect for the transformation. They also find a small light bulb with a unique base and an assortment of ceramic knickknacks—tiny deer, a bird, and a bust—that they plan to turn into quirky stocking holders.

#### Wreath Transformation
Kelsey starts by showing off her first wreath, which she calls “the simplest DIY request ever: grandma wants some wreaths.” She explains that while two of the wreaths will need more work, this one is already perfect. It has a thick green base with beachy flair, and she loves it as-is.
Becky’s wreath, however, needs more attention. She removes all the foam berries and tacky decorations, keeping only the red roses for their elegance. She then adds holly berries, weaving them in alternating directions to give the wreath a natural look. Pinecones are added underneath, tying it all together. The result is stunning—fraternal twins (or so Kelsey jokes), but both beautiful.

#### Fireplace Mantel Makeover
The clock-turned-mantel project is next. Kelsey carefully removes the clock face and sanders down the wood to prepare for paint. Inspired by a technique she saw on another channel, she uses stone finish spray paint followed by white paint to mimic a stone texture. Black paint inside the mantel adds depth, making it look authentically like a fireplace. The final touch is hanging hardware so they can display it in grandma’s home.

#### Stocking Hook Upcycle
Becky finds inspiration in Anthropology’s quirky holiday decor and decides to turn their small ceramic knickknacks into unique stocking holders. She paints the deer, bird, and bust beige to match each other, then adds details like rosy cheeks, green mustaches, and mismatched eyes. The result is a set of whimsical characters ready for their new roles as stuffing holders.
---
#### Snow Globe Lamp DIY
Finally, Kelsey takes a simple light bulb and lampshade and turns them into a snow globe lamp. She paints winter scenes on the glass—trees, deer, houses, Santa, and reindeer—and adds tiny snowflakes using white paint. When she turns on the light inside, it illuminates the scene, making it look like a magical snow globe.

#### Closing Remarks
Kelsey and Becky wrap up by showing off all three flips: the wreaths, mantel, and snow globe lamp. They express their excitement over the projects and encourage viewers to check out their previous holiday content. As they sign off, they remind everyone to subscribe for more holiday-themed episodes.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's my Amash to Eugene Levy shits Creek now streaming not something oh my god this is the best it looks like an ordinary tree what not you gotta take what you get every fruit grandma watch there's like money back here I'm very happy with those sorry - my name's Kelsey yeah my name is Becky and we are the scigirls a winter is officially here it's snowing outside which is why we're not gonna be doing this intro outside our thrift store no I know we usually film this outside the throw sir and guys this is our longest running series it actually is I think it's the first series you ever came up with make sure you check out the playlist below of our other thrift slips comment and the comments below if you know what the first third flip was because I want to know who remembers I remember I remember okay so today since it is kind of wintery outside we're gonna jump into holiday content as you can tell our background is now holiday if ID so we're gonna be doing a holiday decor edition of them yes I'm so excited because this is gonna get us in the spirit even though I don't know if you guys want to be in the spirit yet but we're gonna make it happen alright let's head to the thirst store and see what we find it look like an ordinary treat but I'm not I hate it I hate it too turns out I'm 100% not an ordinary tree okay so two seconds into the store Achilles is distracted already on her own shopping so what is her in the decor I ourselves so much Christmas stuff already like is this I don't get it mm is the grandpa 2001 is the new snowman like it's a new millennia I guess don't eating it already that makes me sad though my grandma said that she wants three wreaths at her house and they're too expensive at the traditional places so I don't know maybe I can make her one she has spaces for three wreath grandma I know get it I think this one I could like make cuter because I like the base which is like this thick green with the beachy Flair Tarak so to the left that's amazing what it's for darts but also baseball and it's a skunk I am fuchsia why is this the thing with pictures of pause here Santa I have been good this year just like hold on fuchsia this is just so simple it's just a plug in like these like I don't we could put something over and make it like a snow globe or something Ellen co-op if I follow Ellen DeGeneres Linda Chernus really really all right we are back with a pretty good haul that I'm very excited about yeah we got some really cool things I guess you want to start us off with what you found sure well I picked up three wreaths because my grandma recently voiced that she wants some wreaths for the house but they are very expensive he wanted buy them new at the craft store or at a decor store they can be over $100 so these range from like five to ten dollars and my goal is to turn these three wreaths into something that looked like a set together and this is going to be my main and slow because I actually really like the way this one is already I'm not gonna do much to it this is most wholesome DIY request grandma wants some wreath so I'm gonna upcycle her son I know hopefully she's into them because I know she wanted larger wreaths but these were the ones that were the nicest and kind of like work together so you gotta take what you get every fruit grandma this was the last thing that we found on the way out but I get to talk about it just cuz it's here and it's large in charge this is a wall clock I think or part of one maybe it sits on a mantel cuz it doesn't actually sit straight yeah I think it's part of another part of the clock but we only have the top here but when I saw it this immediately gave me the thought of a tiny little fireplace an apartment-sized faux fireplace because this looks exactly like a little mantel in a little fireplace like you can't tell me it doesn't and this considering it's actually a clock was only seven dollars I thought throw stores all over with prices I feel like this could be worth well that's cuz it's a very broken clock that's true like listen to this what's in it I don't know we're gonna find out together I'm gonna put this down for a second that we can't carry on so then another idea we had was Becky found this little light bulb it's so simple I feel like it's weirdly hard to find simple light bulbs that just stand on a base on their own and then we found this lampshade so god bam you got a cute little light so we're gonna do something fun with that and the last thing we're gonna do actually came from inspo I was browsing on anthropology because their holiday section is like beautiful but very expensive and they had really quirky animal inspired stocking holders and I hope that could be fun like it feels like a thrift store upcycle so we went to the kind of knick-knack aisle which is not aisle we shop in that often but I we knew there'd be a day where we need the things in those aisles and that's today so we found a little collection of a little I don't know ceramic knickknacks this little deer we love kind of the way he is this little pesticide dove but I think it's just a bird and then this one is a bust of a little guy I don't know who he is I feel like it says but it's kind of cracking off if you know if this your man's claim them in the comments below so I think we're gonna try and turn these into stuffing holders okay we start with first I think you should start with the wreath that'll be fun oh I was gonna say you should start with the mantel but I will start the wreaths so for the wreath like I said this is my in SPO she cute already I think it's simple and since I'm doing three and one of them is gonna be a little more complicated I'm fine with this being simplest city simple and simplicity simplistic yeah that's Thank You Becky so I picked up Elf on the Shelf here and it is also on a grapevine wreath base I believe that's what it is in my brief brief brief wreath research Wow tongue twister so I'm going to take off mr. elves and add some berries I picked up from the craft store to make it look like this one Ruthie's this would be an inside joke I'm actually going to leave on half of these little pine needles because I think it's kind of nice to bring in some green and I will use the other ones that I'm taking off on the other reef to make a match next up I'm going to start weaving on the holly berries since they have a wire stem it's really easy to attach them and I'm using a couple of sprigs to go around the entire wreath and I'm even alternating directions as well to make it look natural and wow they now look like twinsies I can't believe how well that turned out they're maybe not identical twins but they're definitely fraternal maternal fraternal please let me know don't put this in the video they may not be identical twins but I would definitely say that they're fraternal fit from mama Kelsey well weird yeah wait hold up speaking of mama this is a real mama this is the one that is the larger one and if I'm knowing grandma's vision this will be like you may be more of a main center one when these are the supplementary wreaths so my first tip for this guy is to take off all these berries even though obviously we're going with the whole berry thing these are like nasty foam berries and rocket candy and I need to take it all off I might keep the red roses though though thank you so I'm gonna take off all these ugly foam berries and the rock candy really gross thank you favorite no no and what sets off this wreath is actually has a really good base I like the variety of needles I'm actually gonna leave the red roses I just think that they're really pretty and they look like a really high quality so those get to stay I'm going to take some more of the red berries that I used for the other wreaths and add that in coming out from the roses because I'm actually going to be doing a side accent wreaths where the majority of it comes from the side I mean Loki grandma might hang this upside down I don't really have control over that but in my vision the roses are on the side i layered in a bunch of berries using the stems to wrap themselves and you can even use some floral wire to also hold things in place once I had something that I was liking I brought in some pinecones and attached those underneath the roses so this is my final wreath and I really really like it and best of all is that it has its little babies that I think matched so perfectly they're not like all the same they're very complementary same family I think this was an absolute huge success and what a savings for Grandma hope you like a grandma okay wait I forgot to add breathe wait what wait I actually forgot to add lights to my wreath that was my plan and I forgot to do that in my plan so I'm gonna add these so that grandma's house is lit so next up we're gonna tackle this clock that we want to turn into a tiny little apartment sized faux fireplace mantel because as the story goes Santa needs the fireplace to come into your house through and if you don't have one we can make one today with this so as it currently is it's a currently a clock but it's broken so my first step is gonna be to try and take apart the clock and I'm hoping that behind it is a similar space to what's going on down here watch there's like money back here there's no but it's like velcroed on that makes my life so much easier so I was able to get the clock out which is amazing and then I'm just gonna go ahead and take off any extra little bits that I don't want and then I'm coming in with the sander just to take off the veneer a little bit because it is quite shiny and I want to make sure that my paint stick so now the clock is looking less like a clock I think we can start calling it the fireplace now my next step is gonna be the pieces so I'm gonna use a technique that I saw him I kind of do I'm gonna link her channel below because she does great rift market transformations and she made over this trunk and used a combo of stone paints and white paints to get a white finish that looked kind of stone and I think turning this fireplace hearth mantel and something that has like a stone finish will make it look even more believable as a fireplace so that connect steps do a layer of this stone finish spray paint and then once it's dry go over it with white so once the stone spray paint was dry I'm just using some white paint to go over it and using a roller so we don't see any brush strokes and then after that's dry I'm coming in with some black paint and painting all of the inside parts I think this really helps see of the effect that is truly a fireplace because fireplaces are black and dirty inside because they get charged with fire and then once all the paint was dry the very last step is to go and add some keyhole hanging hardware to the back so that we can hang this in a corner ok so this is how my little faux mantle fireplace has turned out I actually love how that stone texture worked maybe it doesn't show up so well on camera but in real life it really does look like a stone piece instead of wood which is awesome and the black actually did so much to kind of make these like do spaces I don't know saying dark holes just sounds weird and then the very last step to making this come to life is to make it look like a real fireplace and that we're gonna do by adding some LED candles into one of the spaces here to give the vibe but we also have a really fun twist if you may be more tech savvy on how we can do this look so next up we're going to tackle the stalking hook decorative pieces oh my god I'm like strangling him I'm so awkward the first step is to actually make them all the same color luckily my birdie and my dear are already beige so I'm going to make up a concoction to make my mom still here also beige to make the beige I'm mixing white and brown and yellow I'm just getting real crazy here but also really not crazy kids were making beige until I find the right color and then painting my little dude the beige color next up I'm also going to make a kind of like Coralie color and green color to match the same colors that are on two deer here so to do this I'm using green and white and kind of any other color to make it actually making colors is very difficult this is what I learned today artists are no joke if you like have an idea of what color you want it's not easy to get there but I made my green I made my pink my orange e pink my coral and then all I have to do is go ahead and paint my little dude so on my dude I'm giving him rosy cheeks and making his mustache green and also filling in his tie and then because the other two animals have brown eyes I thought brown eyes might look weird on this human so I decided to go in with some brown eyebrows and then on my bird I decided to paint the beak pink and then the feathers green it just like sporadically I think it looks like a little weird I didn't really know what to do with the bird so just please think it's cute so now with my little guys painted the next step is to add them to a hook we need a hook part of this docking hook so I got these standard stocking hooks you just kind of like put them around the mantel and that just makes it so that they don't fall they're kind of fall proof I think also just don't put your very full stockings on the mantel I don't know what you guys put my mom always puts the full stockings I mean Santa Claus always with simple stockings on the couch should I refill that we're not it's content also you don't want the chocolate that's in the stockings to melt on the fire anyways I digress we got these stocking hooks I'm going to use a two-part epoxy to glue them to the base and I'm also going to add some little rubber feet because the extra height that the hook gives them I want to make that up and make sure that the whole thing isn't wobbly oh my god this is the best because she's like dough getting it started at how smart this is because how many of you out there buy mantle hooks and then maybe you add to your family whether that's a pet for child's for a spouse or something and then all of a sudden you have mix-matched ones these are mixed mat mismatched and mix-matched from the beginning and then if you need to add more you just go to the thirst store get your little dude and then paint it up it's so smart I think it's a really good idea and I think they're really cute thank you for watching my TED talk okay so last up we are gonna converge this round lampshade and this like light base that we thrifted into something really cool the idea here is that it's gonna actually turn into a snow globe lamp and this is gonna be really simple if it works the way I think it was gonna work so basically I'm just gonna use some white craft paint and draw like a winter landscape scene on to the glass and my hopes is that why don't we put the light in it it will illuminate and you'll actually see the little scene light up so really kind of first and only step is to get drawing my little winter scene so I'm starting by drawing some big trees these are easy to do by kind of just painting upside down V shapes and then making it a little thicker I'm adding some snow clumps on the bottom and then moving on by it trying my best at drawing a deer in the woods then I added two little houses on this side and a tree for it's a little bit farther back moving up to the sky I'm now gonna try my best at drawing a little Santa and some reindeer Oh in hot tip when you're working on this if you do make a mistake you can rub it off really easily before it dries and it comes right off yes I know I only drew four of them but if you imagine they're standing side by side then there really is eight don't come for me stars are super easy to paint all you need to do is just draw a t-shape with a longer bottom and then an X over top of that if I added a moon and some more stars and then the very last step is to add some snow because after all it's supposed to be a snow globe so to do this I just dotted some white paint and little dots all over the globe okay so after all of that and drawing my little painted wintery singing motive truth' trying to find out if this actually works and lights up so we've got the light base here that we threw up dead okay ready the moment of truth wait that's so cute that's even here than I thought it would be I kind of like that you can see it's almost paint stroke II it feels very like I don't know MA I'm very happy with those three flips if you like holiday throw flips we've done them in the past and we will link them at the end for you to watch and make sure you're subscribed because it's gonna be holiday content coming holiday coming content both things thanks for watching see you next time bye youit's my Amash to Eugene Levy shits

smart this is because how many of you out there buy mantle hooks and then maybe you add to your family whether that's a pet for child's for a spouse or something and then all of a sudden you have mix-matched ones these are mixed mat mismatched and mix-matched from the beginning and then if you need to add more you just go to the thirst store get your little dude and then paint it up it's so smart I think it's a really good idea and I think they're really cute thank you for watching my TED talk okay so last up we are gonna converge this round lampshade and this like light base that we thrifted into something really cool the idea here is that it's gonna actually turn into a snow globe lamp and this is gonna be really simple if it works the way I think it was gonna work so basically I'm just gonna use some white craft paint and draw like a winter landscape scene on to the glass and my hopes is that why don't we put the light in it it will illuminate and you'll actually see the little scene light up so really kind of first and only step is to get drawing my little winter scene so I'm starting by drawing some big trees these are easy to do by kind of just painting upside down V shapes and then making it a little thicker I'm adding some snow clumps on the bottom and then moving on by it trying my best at drawing a deer in the woods then I added two little houses on this side and a tree for it's a little bit farther back moving up to the sky I'm now gonna try my best at drawing a little Santa and some reindeer Oh in hot tip when you're working on this if you do make a mistake you can rub it off really easily before it dries and it comes right off yes I know I only drew four of them but if you imagine they're standing side by side then there really is eight don't come for me stars are super easy to paint all you need to do is just draw a t-shape with a longer bottom and then an X over top of that if I added a moon and some more stars and then the very last step is to add some snow because after all it's supposed to be a snow globe so to do this I just dotted some white paint and little dots all over the globe okay so after all of that and drawing my little painted wintery singing motive truth' trying to find out if this actually works and lights up so we've got the light base here that we threw up dead okay ready the moment of truth wait that's so cute that's even here than I thought it would be I kind of like that you can see it's almost paint stroke II it feels very like I don't know MA I'm very happy with those three flips if you like
