Dollar Tree DIY

Looking for a penny pinched Christmas craft? These are so simple, that anyone can do (and your kids can help too!) 

Today on Facebook Live first I made this super simple Snowman Candle using a candle from the Dollar Tree ~ perfect for your kids to make and attach a small gift card too as a teacher gift this year . . .

And then I tackled this mass of ornaments. 🙂

As you can see in the video, to make this wreath I just used ornaments I’d gotten last year for 90% off at Target, along with a wire hanger.

Above is the picture of the one I made today on Facebook Live using just the wire hanger and ornaments (definitely the easiest, but you really do need to glue the ornament hooks to the ornaments so they don’t fall off!)

And here’s one I made a few years ago using a hot glue gun and wreath form instead. (I honestly think that one looks a little better, but I spent oodles more time on it – learn how I did that one over HERE.)

Anyone else need to tackle a tiny piece of your home today?

This weekend, my girls and I made a trip to Michael’s (we love that store!) and I noticed they had their storage bins on sale for $7.

It didn’t take me long to figure out they were just what I needed to organize my disastrous cupboards in my office. 

(You can see how we overhauled this room 2 summers ago over HERE.) 

When we had the office built just over a year ago, I pretty much shoved everything in those cupboards and sat down to work.

From the outside things didn’t look so bad.

But from the inside.

Yikes.

Because I’m such a true penny pincher, I struggle with buying the right things to organize when I think I can somehow just make-do.

Except, I just make-don’t.

But those 4 new plastic bins on sale at $7 each (just $28 total ~ see them on the left?), completely inspired a much needed cupboard clean out.

(This is a note from my father-in-law who passed away a few months ago ~ for years he would mail me the Sunday coupons each week and I’ve kept this in my coupon binder forever.) 🙂 

And I found a few precious memories along the way too. 🙂 

If you have a few places in your home that could use some TLC today, it might be worth spending a few dollars to gather up the right supplies, and just tackle that project that’s overwhelming you today.

Note from Laurie: My friend Cheryl is in the process of making over her living room, and goodness, I LOVE what she’s done! She was sweet enough to share with us here on PPP ~ take a peek . . . 

Wow . . . 

Just . . . wow!

I’m in the middle of a living room makeover (we finally updated our couches after 10 years) and after a tense afternoon of tax preparation . . . this was clearly NOT the time to buy more furniture. 🙂 

Our search for sideboards has been going on for M O N T H S ~ all around the $500 range.  This had me thinking . . . why not just paint the one we have now?

$29 can of chalk paint & wipe-on poly (optional – this was in the garage from previous projects)

If you haven’t use chalk paint before, it is amazing. 

No prep.

No sanding.

Just, paint!

I went to Lowes and bought a $29.00 can of chalk paint, painted this beautiful sideboard to match my new furniture and in just a few hours it was done.

Before . . .

After . . .

I’m thrilled with how it turned out!!  I can’t wait to show you the rest … ALL on a penny pinched budget (I’m learning a few things here at PPP! 🙂

I saw this idea over on Pinterest, and just fell in love!

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• Styrofoam Trees
• Conversation Hearts
• Glue

That’s it.

For real.

This is such a fun way to fluff up your home for Valentine’s Day.  My 10 year old just loved sorting and creating these trees with me!

These candle holders were collecting dust in a cabinet so I used them to set the trees up high and think they worked out  perfectly!

Happy Fluffing!

Dollar Tree Gifts to Give

Y’all know I love gifting from the Dollar Tree . . .

So here are a few ideas.

Grab a bucket from the Dollar Tree or One Spot at Target, and add the words “JOY” (I made mine with my Silhouette Cameo Cutter and contact paper.)

Make this cute snowman using candles and ribbon from the Dollar Tree (the bell ornaments are from the Dollar Tree too.)

So simple, and perfect to give as a teacher gift this year with a gift card attached, or even for kids to make as a class project!

You can also set your table using this cute scarf (seriously folks, I’m addicted . . . )

And you’re all set. Success! 🙂

Soooo, I haven’t had much time for fluffin’ in our home lately, but we’ve had our Silhouette Cameo pulled out for the last few weeks and are determined to make some cute shirts before we go to Disney later this fall! (Our 16 year old’s high school band is playing at Disney, so we’re planning to tag along!)

A friend mentioned that she uses Iron On Glitter paper to make super cute shirts and I was determined to try it out. (The glitter paper is much cheaper at Amazon than we found at Hobby Lobby and  Michael’s, so it’s worth ordering if you’re doing something similar anytime soon!)

Here’s what we made using a few fun t-shirts, bows and more at Hobby Lobby, Walmart and Amazon . . .

We found the onesie and chevron print diaper cover at Hobby Lobby as well as this bow . . .

The headbands were from Walmart (I think they were 4/$3?)

The girls wanted matching Disney tees to wear so we picked up the tees at  Hobby Lobby for $3.99 (these took a bit of work, but finally turned out perfectly!)

And we used this huge pack of cheer bows to make a few cute bows (we had to even make one for our OSU-Buckeye-neighbors ~ I need more red bows because those are my favorites I think!)

So, there you have it ~ no major space updates in our home the last few weeks, but we’ve gotten a good start on one of our favorite projects. If you’ve been debating a Silhouette Cameo I really do love mine (but wait for a sale – I paid $199 for mine and have seen it drop once to $179, so crossing my fingers we see that one again soon!)

Note – I learned how to make these iron ons by following the directions over HERE ~ if you have other tips I’d love to hear those too!

I tackled just a little painting today. 😉

Before . . .

After . . .

As promised in the video, here’s what I used:

• Annie Sloan Duck Egg Chalk Paint because I had some leftover (however you can also find much less expensive chalk paint at Walmart or your local craft store, or make your own ~ Amazon carries it as well)
• Chalk paint finishing wax
• Purdy paint brush (these are my favorite brushes by far)

Now this chair has a partner to match 🙂

Remember two years ago when we just moved in and my daughter was determined to have an IKEA platform bed?

Yup. me too.

Making that bed though was quite near the death of me, so I finally gave in and decided it was well worth the money to start fresh.

(Y’all, getting that bed made up with clean sheets was an Olympic sized feat ~ so much so that I had to muster up everything in me to keep any potty-words from coming out.)

(Seriously.)

(It was ridiculous.) 

So a few months ago we bought Caroline a set of full mattresses (hoping she would occasionally let her sister snuggle up at night), and found a headboard similar to this one online. (I can’t remember exactly where we purchased it, but I wished I’d realized it was really meant for a queen size bed not full/queen. The board is a little wider than the bed, but it’ll do!) 

Her dresser was the one I had growing up that we re-painted several years ago, and for now we brought up these garage sale nightstands from the guest bedroom. (Honestly, we don’t have guests all that often so it makes more sense for her to use them!)

Then I remembered this frame I’d found on clearance for $3 years ago (we’d actually moved it with us), and realized for just a few dollars we could update it to match perfectly.

We found fabric at Hobby Lobby along with a large piece of cork board . . .

cut the cork board to fit the frame (clearly Caroline and I aren’t expert cutters, but my sweet hubby came home and tidied things up a bit to make it work)

I stapled the fabric onto the board . . .

Caroline spray painted the old frame . . .

And for about $8 the bulletin board was done!

I found the flowers, lamp, and dishes at Hobby Lobby as well (all on sale for 50% off this week . . . )

As well as the signs to hang above her bed. (We’re actually waiting on one more anchor to go on the left side ~ our store was out but we had one shipped and it’s on its way!)

(She was in love with the anchor idea – I’m not totally sold on that anchor pillow but for now it works!)

I’d still like to find some inexpensive curtains and shades for those lamps (those lamps have been re-painted about 16 times, but I think with a new shade they’ll do?)

(Not that it matters too much – but Caroline isn’t allowed with a computer by herself in her room – however I was in there with her taking these pictures while she was watching the Olympics, and she used the computer to hide!) 🙂 

And we may repaint those nightstands one day in a brighter color but for now they’re just fine.

We haven’t spent a bundle on the room, but it is so much better and should fit her through college. (I love that!)

If you have a room that’s needed some fluffing, a trip to Hobby Lobby might just get you all set up too. 🙂

After seeing this idea, I wanted to try and make one myself. I found 2 sturdy frames at a thrift store for $7 and a large wooden candlestick at another thrift store for just $1.

I was able to knock the wall mount off the candlestick and just sand down the spots where it attached.  After wiping the dust from all three pieces, I used a leftover jar of sample paint to freshen them up.  (Can’t beat free!) 🙂

The next step was adding the bottoms to the frames.  

This project used pieces of pallet wood, but that was going to be too thick for my frames.  I ended up using strips of lattice wood I had leftover from another project which just happened to already have that “weathered” look since they had been outside in the weather for almost a year 🙂

The thickness of the lattice wood was the perfect match for the frames.  It was also easy to cut down to size with a small saw.  After cutting them down, I glued the strips  into place with a little E6000 Adhesive.

The next step was adding the candlestick to each tray.  You’ll need a drill and a few long screws for this part.

The large end of the candlestick already had a hole in it (where the candle would normally sit), so I drilled a pilot hole into the center of the bottom tray and used a long screw to attach the large part of the candlestick to it.

For the smaller top piece, I drilled a hole into the top tray and used a screw from the top tray down into the top of the candlestick underneath. Before attaching the top tray to the bottom candlestick, drill a pilot hole for another screw to go up into the top candle stick.  The holes will need to be close together so the screws will be hidden by the candlestick pieces.  (You could also use glue for the this part!)

That’s it!  Pretty simple. 🙂 I think it turned out great and only cost about $8 ~ yay!

Not gonna lie. This didn’t turn out as my favorite Friday Fluffin’ project ever.

(I really do like this one. And this one. And even this one. But today’s? Not my favorite.)

But.

I think the idea is good, so I’m sharing it and betting you’ll do it better than me, so maybe it’ll inspire you to just get crafting! 🙂

I saw this super smart idea and thought it would be so simple, then Reagan determined that she wanted them pink, and my main goal kind of got lost in the shuffle. So for a $3 craft project with my kids they’re fine, but I’d love to hear if you can come up with something even cuter.

When I was racing through the Dollar Tree I didn’t catch that these three plates all the same size (definitely better), and I love the stickers that were used. I was in a hurry (like always!) and made these stencils on my Silhouette Cameo since I didn’t have stickers at home, but I love the idea over here so much more.

(I also love this clever way to use these plates. So stinkin’ cute and what I’ll try next time!)

All I did was grab three plates at the Dollar Tree for $3 and used spray paint I already had on hand. 

Then I cut the words using my Silhouette Cameo (you could easily use stickers from the Dollar Tree or Hobby Lobby if you don’t have a Cameo), and painted the inside.

The one thing I did LOVE using were these Command Hooks They handled the weight of the plates perfectly, and are easy to remove without putting holes in the wall. Love that!

If you have a few minutes this weekend this would be such an easy project, just put a little more forethought into it than I did. 🙂 And don’t forget to swing by the Dollar Tree for some crazy fun deals on 4th of July Decor ~ so fun!

I love the Dollar Tree. 

Really, I do. 🙂 

Earlier this week I hauled my nine year old with me to see what we could find (see tons of other items I found at the Dollar Tree over HERE), and when I realized those little storage bins fit our closet shelves perfectly I knew I had to go get more. 

So yesterday I went back to the Dollar Tree one more time, and they had exactly 8 more in the size I needed to quickly tidy up my closet. I threw away and donated things we no longer needed, and in about 30 minutes this mess of a closet was cleaned up.

Success!

Similar bins would have cost me $8-$12 each at the Container Store, so I was just thrilled with my little find. (I even hunted down similar ones on Amazon and noticed these priced at 2/$14.99 ~ crazy!) I paid a whopping $9 total ~ I love that.

If you’ve got some organizing to do this weekend, you might just make a trip to the Dollar Tree to see what you can find.

I found these in the laundry storage section of my store (not in the organizing bin section like I expected), so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for them if you go look! I also found several more projects to craft while I was there, so stop back next week for more Dollar Tree fun. 🙂

My girls are determined that we’re going to get our annual pedicure (I can only stand to pay for it once a year ~ they’ve been patiently waiting!) so this will be the fastest Friday Fluffing you’ve ever seen.  They helped me tackle the project this morning to earn cute toes! 🙂 

My closet has been in some serious need of attention for the last few months, but much like our mudroom it’s been put on the back burner.

So today I set aside a few hours and did a ton of cleaning out. It’s not all that Pinterested (really, who sees our closets?) but it’s so much better. And, I’ll save a bundle on summer clothes because now I know what I already have. (See how we updated this closet last year for FREE ~ love that!)

Before . . .  

Ack!

During (yikes . . . )

After . . .

Other than swapping the mirror and our little rolling cabinet, all I did was tidy things up a bit. James still needs to finish up his side, but mine is done!

And here’s what’s heading to our local free store. I didn’t even take pictures with anything other than my iPhone, but this project is just about done, so that’s my win for the week. Success!
