Log in to the "File Manager" for the service you use to host your blog -- "BlueHost" and "GoDaddy" are two common choices for WordPress bloggers who self-host -- and navigate to the "wp-content" directory. Download the .css style sheet for the themes whose features you want to implement within Thesis.

Sign in to WordPress. Scroll down to the "Thesis" pane on the left side of the interface, then choose "Custom File Editor." The Thesis stylesheet, named "custom.css," appears by default.

Paste elements from stylesheets of other themes into the stylesheet. Open a new browser tab or window and open your WordPress blog.

Right-click on the element to which you want to apply a particular style directive, then click "Inspect Element." Locate the name of the element -- which is behind the <div-id=> tag.

Return to the WordPress dashboard and change the name within the style sheet to make sure changes are applied correctly. If a stylesheet section from another theme looks like this:
.post-area {background:#fff; repeat:no; border:1px}
But Thesis has named the section to which you want to apply it "content-area," change the section of the stylesheet so it looks like this:
.content-area {background:#fff; repeat:no; border:1px}
