So glad so many of you love these thrifted gift ideas! People keep asking what bees wax wraps are for. They are a food storage solution other then plastic wrap. They help cut back on aplastic wrap use and they are reusable!!! :)
Those trees are really pretty! I wonder if the tiny fairy lights could be put on them. Light reflecting off the glass would be gorgeous. I am going to keep my eye out when I go to thrift stores for the components for the tree. I like to make soy candles and I like how you used unconventional containers for your beeswax candles.❤❤
Those trees are Amazing and I saw some other lady making them and the only other thing is like I don't think the glass should be bottom but the face should be glass the bottom should be glass like she did like some like brass Candlestick or something and that looks really really cool against the glass
I have madw garden art with thrisfted glass but never thought to make a Christmas tree! So beautiful! I absolutely lovethe bee and honey gift baskets! We used to keep bees and I too champion the bees!
The crystal Christmas trees are amazing! They sparkle but they're not over the top, and you did an amazing job of piecing together just the right bowls and bells and what a great idea for the top of a salt shaker as the tree top! You got the eye, Girl! In the candles with the matches & striker sets are great spin on gifting candles. And I'm so grateful that you showed me how to make beeswax wraps! Plastic is so horrible and the beeswax wraps take us back to what are great grandmas used to do: such a wonderful idea! Those things are so expensive add Hole Foods and other big profits-not healthy foods stores. Merry Christmas to you and your family! And that's so cool that your husband is a Beekeeping expert!
Oh thank you so much I'm so glad you like all the thrifted gifts I put together! I love the candle set I came up with that idea when I saw the little cup and knew I wanted to turn it into something! I love my beeswax wrap I ended up making some for myself I'm currently using one a bowl in my refrigerator. :) The bees wrap were way cheaper to make I'll be making mine from now on. Merry Christmas thanks so much for watching!!! :)
You gave me fantastic ideas of what to use my parents crystal/ China for- Christmas trees for both my sisters! That will be meaningful and unique for them! Thank you!❤
Oh that's such great idea! I wish I had more of my grandmas glassware to make out of hers or the right pieces. That will be so nice, your sisters are going to love them!!!
I saw the video with the trees too and said the same. Thank you for reminding me and the idea for the salt shaker top. I was finding it hard to find a bell.
This video was in my YT feed this morning (been watching lots of thrifted/upcycled gift ideas the last week). I'm in LOVE with all the gifts you made and can't wait to try them myself. I have to share though - when you got to making the beeswax wraps, I saw the honey sitting in the basket and thought, "That looks just like the honey in my pantry...I guess someone else has a similar label"...but to my surprise...nope! It's the same honey! 😛We live in the same area as your honey bee farms in Virginia. What a small world!
Fantastic job..very frugal beautiful gifts… l’m in the process of making my own glass Christmas trees, gifted to me from my mother in law, as she has moved into a nursing home, so no price there, other than the glue Thank you for sharing your talent with us 👍❤️
I make candles all year long! The ideas for containers for gifts are a brilliant idea!! And the Christmas trees are just adorable thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas 🎄
First time on your channel and am so glad I found you. Those glass Christmas trees are gorgeous and great idea for “someone has everything”! Love the candle idea paired with matches in lovely thrifted containers. The need wax wraps are an awesome idea as well. Thank you for sharing your intellectual property. Will definitely be putting together a few of these on my list for next year( will get started on the thrifting of the pieces after the first of the year.)🥰🥰
I love the christmad tree idea. My mom passed away 2 years ago and i have so much glass that she collected and i think I'm going to attempt to make a tree out of some it. Possibly 2 and pass them down to my daughters when they move out. ❤ just a wonderful idea. 😊
I don't understand what the matterial covered in beeswax is used for. Can you please explain? All of your ideas are beautiful & from the heart. No better gift to send or receive. ❤❤
Oh thank you so much! Beeswax wrap are a food storage solution over then plastic wrap. You can use then to cover food directly or over a bowl. They help cut back on plastic use! :)
Those trees are stunning!! I've noticed the candle and match trend....love it. I've never seen those wraps before.... intriguing. Thanks for sharing these projects.
Thanks so much! I’m always looking for unique gift ideas and those wraps are definitely a fun and easy project. The store bought beeswax wrap are pretty expensive. 🥰 thanks so much for watching!
I love the glass Christmas trees. They turned out beautiful. Especially liked the one with the bird on top. The bee themed baskets are wonderful. I have been wanting to do the beeswax wraps but thought they would be so messy to do but watching how you did them, I am going to give them a try. I saw a video on how to refresh them because they do get crease lines in them. So easy to refresh, lol, just iron them. If really bad, then add 3xyra beeswax in those areas and iron.
I love that one too! They bees wax wraps were so easy to make a little messy at first but once you get the hang of it it's not messy at all. That good to know to refresh them from time to time! :) Thanks so much for watching!
@@MaileyElaine Had to go to town today. Stopped by the thrift store and found all the pieces for the glass tree. All except the bell with the bird. I will find it though. I will put the test of it together and when I find the bell will add it. Have Togo back to town on Wednesday and have 2 more thrift stores to go too. I really scored today though. They were having half off and buy one get one free. Only spent $7.00. I was stoked. Some of the pieces were only 50 cents. Lol
@@joyceterra2265 That's incredible! It really does depend on the location. One thrift store I went to had so many bell options with no dishware options. Then other locations were the exact opposite. You'll definitely find a bell! I will say they can blend in so take your time looking!!! :)
These turned out great. Your family will love them! I saw the glass trees on instagram as well now I need to make one too 🥰 Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄
Oh wow! Those beautiful glass Christmas trees 😮, just stunning and soooooooo classy. The candle ideas are very unique too, will e making them myself. Thank you for sharing. From the UK 🇬🇧
All good I've seen a lot of people ask. I guess my explanation wasn't the best in the video! They are a food storage solution so you can use beeswax wraps to replace plastic wrap and they are reusable! :)
The first DIY. THE CHRISTMAS TRESS. BEAUTIFUL WOW. LOVE THEM. candles well I just rather buy them. lol. But lov the video. Keep them coming. I’m a new subscriber
THE CHRISTMAS TREES ARE SO CUTE. Honestly all of these are really good ideas! I’m having surgery next week after the busiest time of year to work in nonprofit marketing, so I won’t be doing any DIY Christmas, but next year it’s totally on! 🤣
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. I wasn’t going to watch it either but something drew me to it. I’m so glad I did watch it. I subscribed immediately and I’m so looking forward to many more of your videos. I’d love to pick a favourite but that’s impossible. Your gifts are by far the most beautiful gifts I’ve seen be made this year, the Christmas Trees at pre absolutely stunning, the bell with the bird on top is gorgeous but the salad/pepper lid made an adorable topper to your tree also, I love the candles and what a great idea putting the matches and the striker circle ⭕️ on the glass dish. Because these are all cut glass or crystal they look amazing. I can imagine when the candle is lit how beautiful they will look. Your gift baskets are gorgeous also, I went to a market a few years ago and purchased some bees wax covers and they were quite expensive, as is everything here in Australia but they were so nice I got them. I also purchased some bees wax sheets to roll up into candles. Unfortunately I never used them and they are now in storage in another state which is a very hot state. I’m hoping that my wax sheets did not or won’t melt. I won’t get my stuff back until I move back up there, which I will be doing eventually. Personally I don’t like honey but most people do so those baskets will be loved by your recipients. TFS your videos and I can’t wait to watch more. If I get a chance I’m going to try and binge watch some of them. Merry Christmas to you and your family and I pray your New Year is filled with Blessings.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! I'm so glad you found my channel and liked my video that means so much! I'm so glad you like all the gifts! I'm so tempted myself to see what the candles look like lit but I have to wait haha! Also I used to not like honey but I have since found out that most store bought honey is adulterate with sugar syrups to make more money. Since having the honey my husband sells I realized I do indeed like honey it just needs to be real honey haha! Beeswax wraps are so expensive to buy! When I saw how easy they are to make I knew I had to add them to the list. My family is always looking to cut down on plastic so I know they are going to love them!! Thanks again for subscribing and I hope you like the other videos you check out!!!
Hi Mailey! I love your ideas, as usual! I’m absolutely obsessed also with the vintage-style glass Christmas trees; they’re so timeless and elegant. Last week, I made some candles in jars as gifts, but I’m planning to create more using beautiful glassware. They’re just stunning!
Thank you so much!!! You should definitely thrift some containers. I’m so glad I learned how to make candles it’s become such a useful skill!!! Thanks so much for watching!
@@MaileyElaine Hi Mailey! Thank you for always taking the time to respond. So..I made the glass Christmas tree: it turned out so beautiful! I couldn’t wait to gift it to my mother, and she loved it!! Now my sisters, friends, and even some co-workers are asking for one too! I’ve shared the link to your video 😄
My husband says the same thing about coffee ☕️ he loves his first cup he says ha this is so God lol I may make this nexted year I made Christmas jam and bread this year to give out
Love the trees, absolutely gorgeous, also the candle /match set is awesome. Tell me how to use the bees wax wrap, never heard of those!!! Merry Christmas!!!🎄
I was wondering that too. I have never heard of them either. And I LOVE the glass Christmas trees!! They are gorgeous!! And I love the style of your home!! The black fireplace and the wooden table is absolutely stunning!!
Thank you so much! My fireplace in my kitchen is one of my favorite features of my house!!! :) Thanks so much for watching so glad you love the Christmas Trees!
I can’t imagine getting any of these as gifts. Maybe just giving for fun but as an actual gift not so much. I’d give it and something whew but not alone. I like the trees though
Thank you so much! They are a reusable food wrap. So instead of plastic wrap you use beeswax wraps. The beeswax almost turns the fabric into a plastic like material but you can reuse them! They help cut down on plastic use! :)
I absolutely loved this video!!!! The trees look stunning on your mantle against the dark color. And the bees wax wraps… so interesting! I’ve never heard of them. Also the idea of using men’s dressing shirts for a basket liner (or any fabric need) great idea! I throughly enjoy your videos. So inspiring. I may have to try those trees…and candles…and gift baskets!!!! Happy holidays 🎄and thanks for sharing❤❤
I'm so glad you loved the video. I had so much fun putting these all together. You should definitely try all the DIYs they were super fun and fairly easy to put together. :)
Yeah… those pieces have the right graduated sizes…. Really nice trees… I’ve seen others. These look great.., not just a bunch of glass bowls glued together.
Oh my word Mailey!!! This was such a great video! Realistic, adorable, useful, and beautiful gifts! I just bought a bunch of beeswax bars from our local bee keepers and wanted to make candles and beeswax wraps but I actually didn’t know you could use cotton fabric! Question though, do I need to shave or cut the beeswax bar down before I try melting it?
These are wonderful ideas! I absolutely love the trees! I’ll definitely be checking out the honey from your husband’s farm. I won’t buy anymore bee wax wraps now that I can see how easy it is to make them. I didn’t realize you were in Va. I thought you were out west. I’m in eastern NC.
I'm so glad you liked them! I absolutely love the trees as well as you can see. You should the honey is so good I'm a big fan of the North Dakota honey. Every person I know that tries it say its the best honey they've ever had. Yeah I thought the same thing they are so easy to make. We are so close to each other I'm not far from NC
Thanks so much for subscribing!!! Unfortunately it's not. I definitely want to use the wax from my husband far at some point. I would just have to do the cleaning and processing of the wax. I think you could add light it might make it more tricky with how the bowls lay and making them level but if you get a small enough strand and slowly work it in to every layer I don't see why that wouldn't work! :)
Love these ideas. Have pinned for next year. Another way to make the wraps is to grate unmelted wax and sprinkle the shavings over the fabric, then iron over the top with the parchment paper. Did you include the cost of wax, wicks etc in your prices?

So glad so many of you love these thrifted gift ideas! People keep asking what bees wax wraps are for. They are a food storage solution other then plastic wrap. They help cut back on aplastic wrap use and they are reusable!!! :)
How do they stick to the bowl to keep the item fresh?
Those trees are really pretty! I wonder if the tiny fairy lights could be put on them. Light reflecting off the glass would be gorgeous.

I know I’m obsessed! I already have idea of how to do this DIY but make it slightly different next year. 🥰🥰🥰 obsessed!
Those trees are Amazing and I saw some other lady making them and the only other thing is like I don't think the glass should be bottom but the face should be glass the bottom should be glass like she did like some like brass Candlestick or something and that looks really really cool against the glass
But that's salt shaker on top was genius genius
I love the color of your kitchen cabinets
Love the crystal trees!
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness....I have watched and made lots of DIY's but the glass Christmas trees are WINNERS! THANKS!

Thank you so much! Bees wax wrap are to replace plastic wrap so you can cut down on plastic use.
The Christmas trees are so very pretty. Might have to make one next year. What are beeswax wraps? How do you use them? Thank you and take care.
Thank you so much! Definitely should try out the tree. The bees wax wraps are like plastic wrap but reusable. Helps cut down on food storage waste. :)
How do u know pouring hot wax into a glass container won’t break or shatter the container ?
If you choose thick glass containers they won't break. Just inspect the glad for any cracks or damages! 🥰
These were all great, but what in the world is bees wax wraps used for. I've never heard of it. 😊❤
I was wondering that too. I have never heard of them either. And I LOVE the glass Christmas trees!! They are gorgeous!! And I love the style of your home!! The black fireplace and the wooden table is absolutely stunning!!
Thank you so much! My fireplace in my kitchen is one of my favorite features of my house!!! :) Thanks so much for watching so glad you love the Christmas Trees!
So glad you figured it out! I really love beeswax wraps and they cut down on plastic use! :)
I can’t imagine getting any of these as gifts. Maybe just giving for fun but as an actual gift not so much. I’d give it and something whew but not alone.
I like the trees though
That’s okay! I know my family is going to love them. Thanks for watching!
I would be thrilled to receive any of them.
What do you use beeswax wraps for?
Food storage like plastic wrap but reusable!
That is what I say about my first pot of coffee, not the first cup. 😬🤦♀️👀 That 1st pot just hits different, compared to the 2nd or 3rd pot. 😂
Haha honestly same!!! I'm so glad I found a fellow coffee addict haha!
How do you use beeswax wraps? Very beautiful gifts.
Thank you so much! They are a reusable food wrap. So instead of plastic wrap you use beeswax wraps. The beeswax almost turns the fabric into a plastic like material but you can reuse them! They help cut down on plastic use! :)
Which bees wax do you buy or do you get it from were your husband works fresh bees wax
No unfortunately they don't process the wax in a way to make it usable. So I just buy it from amazon!
What do you do with the bees wraps
They are a food storage wrap to replace plastic! :)
What are the bees wax wraps used for?
They are for food storage! 🥰
I absolutely loved this video!!!! The trees look stunning on your mantle against the dark color.
And the bees wax wraps… so interesting! I’ve never heard of them.
Also the idea of using men’s dressing shirts for a basket liner (or any fabric need) great idea!
I throughly enjoy your videos. So inspiring.
I may have to try those trees…and candles…and gift baskets!!!!
Happy holidays 🎄and thanks for sharing❤❤
I'm so glad you loved the video. I had so much fun putting these all together. You should definitely try all the DIYs they were super fun and fairly easy to put together. :)
What are the bees wraps used for?
@ reusable food wrap instead of using plastic! :)
What are the wraps used for? Thanks👩🏻🦳☦️🎄
They are a reusable food storage solution. Basically they replace plastic wrap! :)
Thanks. Great invention! I’m old, but never heard of that! So cool! 🐝 are da bomb‼️🥰👩🏻🦳🐾🎄🏡
What do you do with the wraps?
They are good storage wraps instead of using plastic wrap! :)
Do you you coat both sides of fabric with bees wax?..
If you just really soak the one side you don't have to coat both. It will soak through the fabric. 🥰
what do you do with bee's wax wraps?
They replace plastic wrap for food to cut down on plastic use. 🥰
Yeah… those pieces have the right graduated sizes…. Really nice trees… I’ve seen others. These look great.., not just a bunch of glass bowls glued together.
Thank you so much! It took me a little bit to find just the right pieces but it was worth the wait. :)
Oh my word Mailey!!! This was such a great video! Realistic, adorable, useful, and beautiful gifts! I just bought a bunch of beeswax bars from our local bee keepers and wanted to make candles and beeswax wraps but I actually didn’t know you could use cotton fabric! Question though, do I need to shave or cut the beeswax bar down before I try melting it?
Oh I’m so glad you like it! I would shave the beeswax down I’ll help with the melting process. :)
How would it work to use a foam brush and spread with an old credit card?
I have seen people use foam rollers and that definitely work old CC not sure!? 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
These are wonderful ideas! I absolutely love the trees! I’ll definitely be checking out the honey from your husband’s farm. I won’t buy anymore bee wax wraps now that I can see how easy it is to make them. I didn’t realize you were in Va. I thought you were out west. I’m in eastern NC.
I'm so glad you liked them! I absolutely love the trees as well as you can see. You should the honey is so good I'm a big fan of the North Dakota honey. Every person I know that tries it say its the best honey they've ever had. Yeah I thought the same thing they are so easy to make. We are so close to each other I'm not far from NC
Oh dear, I should've looked further down the comments. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that was clueless. 😅😂😊❤
Haha all good! Thanks so much for watching! :)
Were you get your wicks from
just online there are a ton of options of amazon! 🥰
New subscriber. Is the wax you make your candles from wax from the bees. Also, how could you add lights to the glass lamps? Beautiful!!!
Thanks so much for subscribing!!! Unfortunately it's not. I definitely want to use the wax from my husband far at some point. I would just have to do the cleaning and processing of the wax. I think you could add light it might make it more tricky with how the bowls lay and making them level but if you get a small enough strand and slowly work it in to every layer I don't see why that wouldn't work! :)
Love these ideas. Have pinned for next year.
Another way to make the wraps is to grate unmelted wax and sprinkle the shavings over the fabric, then iron over the top with the parchment paper. Did you include the cost of wax, wicks etc in your prices?
Oh that’s such a great way to do that! Thank you for sharing and yes I did include pricing for thrifted items and supplies! 🥰
How are the wraps used.???
For food storage
Great ideas! Than…
Thank you so much!
Where did you get the small level
It came in a picture hanging kit! It’s the perfect crafting level haha
Super😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much 😀
