]]>You’ll stumble upon many cool trinkets during your thrift shopping adventures, but not all of them can be used in your DIY projects. If you don’t have a clear idea for upcycling certain items and can’t use them as they are, your money would be better spent on something else.
Speaking of money, the main purpose of thrift shopping for DIY projects is to stay on budget. Make sure that the second-hand items you’re buying aren’t as expensive as the new ones because this pretty much defies the purpose of thrift shopping.
Thrift shopping requires patience, whether you’re searching for potential DIY materials or not. Unless you’re looking for something specific, take your time to carefully go through each shelf and take time to come up with new ways to utilize items you found before buying them.

]]>Know right away how much time you’re willing to invest in flipping certain items. If the thrift clothes you stumbled upon require too much work, consider going with a less challenging project that won’t be so time-consuming.
Some people like upcycling second-hand clothes because it’s a fun adventure, while others do it to save money. Unfortunately, putting a DIY twist on your thrift store finds doesn’t always come cheap. Try to do a calculation in your head on the spot, and if you think you’d spend more money than on a brand-new item—just leave it be.
Finding a dress or a shirt at your favorite thrift store doesn’t necessarily mean you should transform it into a different dress or shirt. Some second-hand pieces of clothing are worth buying for the fabrics alone, and you can later use them to make pretty much anything.

]]>A peer-to-peer social shopping app, Depop lets you find used, secondhand, vintage, and homemade clothing from the comfort of… anywhere. It’s especially popular among some pretty hip and trendy millennials and Gen Zers, so it’s definitely possible to find really cute clothes and accessories.
A U.S.-based social commerce marketplace, Poshmark lets Americans buy and sell used clothes, shoes, and accessories. The shipping is a bit pricey, but it has a great search and an offer feature that makes it easy to bargain without any of the awkwardness.
An online thrift and consignment store, shopping on ThredUp is just like shopping on any other e-commerce website, but the items are secondhand. The best part is the search function, which lets you narrow down everything from brand to size to color, making it way easier to find what you’re looking for than in a traditional thrift store.

]]>Old-timey cardigans that are popping up on TikTok and Instagram look like something you can find in your grandma’s closet, so it wouldn’t make sense to buy them at a fast-fashion store.
Sweater vests are another cozy fashion trend that you can rock without buying anything new. If you can’t find one in your mom’s and grandma’s closet, head to your favorite thrift store.
Victorian collars are one of the vintage trends we’re seeing everywhere right now, and if you want to fully embrace their retro feel, buying an authentic, second-hand collar is your best bet.
Knit sets are one of the coziest trends this fall has given us, but some of them come with a high price tag. Why break a bank, when you can find an equally chic set at pretty much any thrift store?

]]>It’s not unusual to leave thrift store with a bunch of stuff you don’t actually need, so it’s important that you enter the door with a clear head. If you don’t have the list of things you’re looking for, at least think about the way to use the item that piqued your interest before making a purchase.
If you’re a professional crafter, your DIY project should pay off, and if you’re not, you shouldn’t be spending a lot of money on a hobby anyway. Have a certain number in mind every time you shop at thrift stores, and try not to go over the limit.
Never waste your money on items that aren’t in a decent shape. If your thrift store finds need major repairs that require a lot of time and probably aren’t up to your personal abilities, do yourself a favor and let it go.
