Eco Friendly Restoration of an early 20th century dresser | ECO FRIENDLY CHALLENGE
Hey Guys! Welcome back to another episode of Missflips! Today is a very special day as I am hosting my very first ever CHALLENGE! I have participated in many, and if you are new here, you can see all of my previous flips in my Challenge Flips Playlist
But I have never hosted one so here we are!! Being eco friendly is something that I always strive to be. Our planet is the most important thing because without it, there’s not us. So I do my best to spread the love of being eco friendly and encourage you guys to do the same.
In this challenge, the goal is to do a flip using as many eco friendly techniques as you possibly can. The winner will be judged on not only the creativity of their flips, but also on their creative eco friendly solutions and how many elements they use. Don’t forget to go watch all the other amazing artists participating!
Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed this video!
As usual, stay flippin!
