Thrift to Treasure - Bulk Bleaching 400 Flannels & Cranberryfest Update -
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- In today's video, I'm giving you an update on the bulk bleaching of almost 400 flannels. I finished this process in 2 days and I'm feeling completely exhausted! I thrifted flannels for the past 2 months...grabbing as many as I could find and decided to hop on the trend of bleached flannels that is going on here in the Midwest. I'm going to have them available at my upcoming show Cranberryfest which is being held in Eagle River, WI the weekend of October 7 & 8.

How do you do it all and STILL sleep?!?! Girl, you are such an inspiration and PLEASE don't let the jerks get to you❤❤❤ they are just miserable and they want to make others miserable. I actually feel sorry for people in that position. If we could all just love one another and have grace, this world would be such a better place ❤❤❤
My husband worked for Clorox and said that all bleach on the market is Clorox. Off brands are made by Clorox. Bleach has a shelf life. Old product is resold to third parties and repackaged. It's Clorox, just weaker. 😊
Wow Sonnet, You sure have had your fill of snarky comments lately. From the comment about you sounding too "sing songy" to the person who said "no, I've never wondered". 1st of all, you are not too sing songy. You are one of the most down to earth/funny people that I watch on here. I have a few favorites. 2nd, I don't think some people appreciate how much of your time and energy you put into making these videos and the fact that we are getting some free teaching/advice on how to do these awesome crafts, thrift flips, furniture re-dos etc. You're a plethora of knowledge and I, for one, really appreciate it. When I'm flipping through listening to different people I decide (usually by the 1st video) whether they're too loud, too quiet, too silly, too grumpy and so on. Then I make up my mind to move on to someone else WITHOUT making a nasty comment first. It's that easy folks. Sometimes I think people just like to see their name up in lights (so to speak) and don't consider that it might hurt someone's feelings.
I would pay $30-$35 for one of these flannels. That's a ton of work. I do love them. Good luck at Cranberry Fest. I wish I lived closer. 🥰
If you decide to do this again, maybe the day you bring them home, go ahead and get them buttoned up and ready to go. That will save some time. Also, maybe bleach a group here and there and not do it all in one day. If they are just bleached with no pressed on designs or sayings, I would say $20-25 each. If you get to the festival and you have competition in the flannel department, you can always put them on sale for a cheaper price. One good thing is, they will not go bad! You can always put them in a tote and pack them up till next year.
You always have a ton on your plate. You are a hard worker as well. I love your projects. Have a lot of fun at Cranberry fest!❤❤❤
Years ago there was a big push for bleached flannels and they were going in craft store for $20-25. And with Inflation!! I would ask $26-$34.
I would ask a couple dollars more for larger sizes as I see that done Everywhere!
God bless your efforts. How you hanging them, girl😄😳
Preferably on the upper end!!
I think a good price for a used flannel bleached is probably 15-20$
Can't wait to see how you display all of your flannels. Can't believe you got all of those done over the weekend, so wish I had your energy!
LOL, I gotta say that if you don’t want someone to say they never wondered, then maybe say,”If you’ve ever wondered,” because saying, “Have you ever wondered,” is literally inviting someone to respond to your question by saying, “No, I’ve never wondered.” It doesn’t seem like a big difference, but one indicates you’re answering the question for those who did wonder and the other implies you want to know if the viewer ever wondered. Love your videos, but I’ve never wondered either. LOL
😂😂😂 She commented because you asked! 😂😂😂❤ You crack me up!....but hey! Any comment is interaction on your content for the algorithm. Im excited to see these flannels again! I loved them so much last year! I've got to make some! ❤ TFS superwoman! ❤
I thought that as well. And really who does sit around thinking I wonder how it looks to see that many flannel shirts. She might have just been funny. Some have a humor. 😅
Sonnet ~ You are truly amazing!!! Thank you for taking us along on your journey. I am heading down to So Cal for Debi's event and am sooo excited to meet you next weekend!!!!!!!!!! 💖
OMG 400 flannels!!!!!!! You go girl!!!!!
I live in central Mo and the bleach flannels were popular 6 years or so ago and then kinda dried up three years ago so it’s hard to give one away now. I use to also emblems them when the market slowed to change them a bit. Hope your buyers are ready to buy and you sell them all. That’s going to take a lot of room just to hang them. You’re going to do great!
That’s a lot of flannels!! They are going to be a hot seller! Looking forward to seeing the set-up for Cranberry Fest this year. Such a great event, and the location is so nice!
I never find flannel shirts around here.....I cannot fathom finding 400... oh what fun that would be ❤❤❤❤
You are SUCH A HARD WORKER! I sure hope you do VERY WELL AT CRANBERRY FEST!
I bought one of these a couple of years ago in Atoka OK. I love my bleached flannel shirt. My shirt goes from heavy bleaching at the shoulders and get less and less bleached going down the body until it is normal color around the bottom. Good luck!!
I remember the very first video I watched, I did not yet know that you had booths and your own little business and I thought you were a crazy hoarder with obviously way too much money to spend! Then I realized everything you do is justified. Now... I've decided you're as crazy as I first thought! 😂💖👍
is that a compliment, lol
@@lgreenmllg a teasing of sorts... with love, of course! 🙂
I wish you showed more of the flannels. I was hoping to see what colors they turn into once bleached
O would be happy paying $25 - $30 and Im cheap....i think you would sell more in this model.
Great job
You are the cutest, hardest working, mid-west accent lovin gal out there!!!!! I adore you Sonnet, I truly hope you get to rest in between everything you have going on!!!! Take care, have fun!!! Toni
Sonnet-I bleached 25 flannel shirts on Saturday. Took me all afternoon! I did it outside on my south facing driveway in the sunshine! I tried different brands of bleach and I had the best luck with Dollar Tree bleach. I had better control with that brand. I used2 bottles of bleach to 2 of water. I have 2 shirts that did not even fade! I’m doing them for my craft show at the end of October, and 2 following weekends in November! You should come! It’s in my friends home! send you a flyer b when I get one! It’s not like Cran fest-we only have 20 vendors.
Best of luck in Eagle River!
Hi Sonnet, I don’t know where you get your energy girl! What a marathon. I would price the flannels in the $30-35 range. You would pay more in a boutique and if you find they aren’t selling you can always reduce a bit. I would also suggest what doesn’t sell should go in your three booths. I would think with winter in Wisconsin you would sell plenty! Don’t undervalue your hard work.
Next time ... If you ever bleach shirts again ... Chlorine for a pool is stronger and would use less .. Just a thought .. We have a pool ...
First of all-YOU ARE AMAZING GIRL‼️. Such a hard devoted worker!
The flannels look awesome. Did you thrift them & for how much?
I have never heard of this process of bleaching plaids, who knew it was a thing, but I think they will sell well in your booth as I can only imagine your booth attracts locals and people who might travel a bit of.distance just to buy your amazing art, like the barn stars, quilts, etc. If I did not live so far away in Canada, I would for sure want to visit your booth. Bravo to you for taking on such a big job of bleaching so many plaid shirts. 🙌🏻
Lol… I saw your reel and yes, the comments you got where ridiculous! 😂😂😂
Try only bleaching 100 percent cotton shirts.
I wish I could go to Debi’s open house! I’ve followed her for years. I’m sure it will be very cool!! ❤❤
Wow Sonnet! You had a very busy weekend. What did you do with your bleach solutions when you finished?
I am not familiar with bleached flannel, would love to see some hanging up😊!
How are you planning to display them?! Your displays are always The bomb diggity! 💣 💥 ❤
Sonnet I hope you do great at Cranberry Fest, I have been watching you for a few years, I love your energy and Barn Quilts , they are so Stunning, My dear some People just are Miserable and likes to Leave Ugly Comments, You are Above them, just ignore it,
I will be at Debi’s party too! I can’t wait to meet you!
You are crazy 😂😂😂❤❤
Great job!!!
Those flannels are perfect!!!!! I hope you sell out! You are awesome! ❤ Husbands are so sweet but dont give away the farm and 4 flannels for your husband. 😂😂❤❤ You did SO much for these flannels! Your time, effort, stress, lungs, back, haul, $28/shirt I think is reasonable. Your shirts are worth so much more but strategic pricing.... im curious... What are you pricing them? 😂❤
Does anyone know how she got the 400 flannel shirts? Maybe that was discussed somewhere but it seems interesting thank you
How much did you charge for the shirts last year?
Do you know Unicorn Dust Designs? She use to do the flannels. She just bleached on the back and put designs over the bleach area.
Wow! Well, you did ask a question . "Have you ever wondered what 400 flannels look like?" I would have probably given the same answer, especially since I am not even a fan of flannel.😂😂
I thought maybe your reader was just trying to comment to increase your comments to help your algorithm? That could be something I might think…
Place an upright fan. The square kind at the end of your table and have it backwards to draw the fumes away from you
Great tip, thank you!
I do this when using bleach or oil paint (because of the turpentine fumes)…
I don't know your market, but I would expect to pay $25 -$45 per flannel.
I pay $7 for my flannels at the thrift store and sell them for $34.95 in my booth.
Dawndy- what state or area do you live in? Thinking about what prices people will pay for goods in my area-south central Wisconsin and what I should price my bleached flannels.
There going for anywhere from 35$ to 55$ on tiktok shop or Etsy hope that might help for next time
You want them all to sell so 20 is a good price. I’d pay that
I think the pricing depends on the area. Here in my area you wouldn’t get more than $15-$20 each.
In PA we get about $20 for a bleach dipped flannel. 😊
In boutiques they are anywhere from 34.99 up to 47.99 but competitive stance, do them for 16.99
I would think anything over xxL would be more expensive. 3x what you have in them I would say. You did wash and dry and that is water and electric expense. So you would need to figure that and your time.
Are there other people selling them, if so, Id go with $22. If you are the only one $28. Or you could do $25 for 1 and $45-46 for 2. You have enough to do that! I'm super cheap, but I'd pay $20-22. If you do them lower they are more accessible to everyone's wallet, lol. My mom always say a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush or in your cash a sale for 1 is better than bringing 2 (or 200😂) home Best of luck and keep us posted!
$32 for one and discount for multiple shirts
Wow!!
Wowsa…..what was the price?
Twenty dollar bill seems about right. Because they’re buying a one of a kind item. It’s a festival not a boutique and the economy is rough at the moment.
Oh and besides the bleaching of flannels that I did, I also did some kids jeans and adult overalls. Now my 2
Adult girls each want a pair. It’s hard to find overalls in my 2 thrift stores.
Not sure what price I should put on them. I don’t think they will sell in the $30. range, Thinking about $18. to $20. Overalls more , of
course. Next I’ll be painting unicorns on little girls Jean jackets-I sell this for $25.
I’m seeing brand name bleached flannels going for $36, lesser brands for $20 to $28.
That is a lot of shirts. I tried doing one and got no results.
Etsy has them for $40-$55. You’re amazing for bleaching that many flannels!
You are right!
I wish I could remember what she charged for hers.
Flannels look cool. I would love to go to Debbie’s party. Sure looks like a great time. But not in the cards. Have fun!
Pricing, one of the hardest parts of a small business when the majority of it has been thrifted.
Wanna make sure you have a sale not a show. Don’t price em too high…..I’m afraid they will be priced high
I love the look, but they fall apart after a few washes.
❤
$24.95?
Why do you bleach these flannel shirts and why so many!
How bout watch the video
@@JuniperJax I DID! Why can’t you be quiet and allow the presenter answer the question. If your attitude is an example of this Chanel I will unsubscribe.
@fayejohnson4490 I'm sorry that was rude..Just my observation..she doesn't answer or reply on very many...she keeps super busy..
Time+materials+business cost $20-$30
I would price them all the same
I charge $30 for mine
Let me get this.... you ask a question, someone answers politely and you trash them for answering. How sweet of you. You're the one who needs to find some tolerance in your heart. Time for me to unsubscribe especially since you'll probably trash me too.
I would pay $30.00 to $40.00 for one of your flannels. My thought on this.
