Dollar Tree DIY Stocking Hangers

*Some of the links below are affiliate links.*

Okay, so now that I have your attention you are definitely going to watch closely…

I made a complete step by step video that you will enjoy (while sipping your coffee, or eggnog, or Coquito – I won’t judge😉)

 

The main components of the stocking hangers are gift boxes from Dollar Tree and the metal wreath hangers they are currently selling with the Christmas items.

>>>Oh and by the way Dollar Tree is having flat rate $1 SHIPPING from Dec. 14th to Dec. 17th so if you do not have one near you THIS is the time to shop! Go here NOW! <<<

And yes, I totally weighted them down so they are fully functional…. can you guess what I used?

 

They are the perfect blend of function and style. I love their perfect farmhouse vibe and the fact that they go great with the stockings I made earlier this year.

Now without further ado…. I leave you with the tutorial below!

 

Tell me what you think?! Would you ever have guessed that they were from Dollar Tree?

Okay, I don’t know about you, but I don’t really go all out when it comes to gift wrapping. I mean I have a 6 year old, a 5 year old and a 3 year old…. they tear that wrapping paper up! LOL!

I think the only person who cares about not ripping wrapping paper in my circle is my dad and I get frustrated just looking at him taking his time not to mess up the wrapping paper.

I’m like “Open it up already!”

Ha! So when it actually comes to making them a little bit prettier, I head to Dollar Tree….. cause I know it’s going to get ripped up anyway!

And if you feel the same way I do, make sure you check out my ideas below.

Dollar Tree Christmas Gift Wrap Ideas

 

The first thing I do when I want to make a present look nicer is add a simple ribbon. Seriously that is all it takes. I wrap it horizontally and vertically and tie it in the front with a bow.

Boom!

But if you want it to look a little fancier, take a garland pick (the same I used to spruce up my Dollar Tree Farmhouse Trees) and bend it in order to form a wreath. Add it to the ribbon and you’re done!

Okay if that is not your cup of tea, you can always add a bow with a little bit of greenery.

Or you can always add an additional “gift” by adding an ornament that matches the theme of your paper.

 

Or you can add a little bit of effort and make one yourself! I literally made the ornament below with popsicle sticks and wooden dowels. I freehanded the reindeer with a paint pen and added a red nose. Cute!

*LEARN how to make the Shiplap Reindeer Ornament below on my Youtube Channel and get the free downloadable patterns here.*

All of the items I used were from Dollar Tree including the ribbon. The only thing I did not use from Dollar Tree was the wooden dowel that I used to make the frame of the ornament above.

Simple and inexpensive yet totally makes a statement and elevates your gift wrap. How awesome is that!?

So there comes a time in a kid’s life where they enter that in between stage… ya know, not a “kid” anymore and not a teen either. That “tween” stage. It’s at this awkward time that we scratch our heads the hardest and ask, “What in the world am I going to get him/her?!”

Well I have a few nieces in that stage (and you may too) so I thought I would share this cute little gem I found at my local $5 and Below store….

Easy Christmas in a Jar for a Tween

As you know by now I am a little obsessed with Dollar Tree and I go there for all things crafty. However, I saw a $5 and Below from the corner of my eye while shopping a couple of weeks ago and decided to try it again…

The first time I went I wasn’t impressed, but I guess Dollar Tree has become such a big hit that they had to “up the ante”. 

And let me tell you I was so happy they did! They have all sorts of goodies (that are actually nice!) in there and since nothing is over $5 it is all very reasonable.

While strolling through the store, I came across this little beauty:

Isn’t it adorable!?

It’s a frickin’ mason jar with nail polish and accessories inside and you can use the container to drink cause it has a frickin’ straw! 😱

I felt like a 90’s teenager who won front row tickets to see NSYNC!

Okay maybe not that excited… 

But still! I just had to get it!

The colors were girly but not too girly.

The nail polish wasn’t too “adult”.

They could all be contained in the jar for no clutter (thinking like a mom here).

 

It was a done deal for me…

The only, and I mean only, thing is that the cup is not glass (which may be a good thing for a Tween) but that was the only downside.

But you can totally get all kinds of stylish ones in different colors like the ones below if you are looking for something a little more “higher end” – you can totally DIY this and I probably would have if the idea had crossed my mind without seeing this first. But it looks like the universe gave me a break. 😂

Now, of course this isn’t the only thing I would get a niece for Christmas, but it is a nice little side gift.😉

And of course you can always fill it up with the polishes and accessories of your choice if you wish to piece them together yourself.

So, as you know I created a YouTube channel in order to share my projects there as well. Since becoming part of the YouTube community I have joined in on several challenges and have gotten to know other Youtubers.

One of my favorite challenges is the $5 Goodwill Challenge and there is one every season. I thought my project for this Christmas edition was perfect since I decided to created a Christmas centerpiece out of the candleholder I bought for $2.92 at my local Goodwill.

I used that outdated candleholder and turned it into this!!!

Of course, I made a DIY burlap box to go around it as well and in my latest video, I show you just how to make it…. sometimes, things are better seen than read. 😉

Most of the items you see are from Dollar Tree and the burlap was leftover from another project…

I wanted to keep this centerpiece neutral and rustic and I think I achieved just that!

Now grab a coffee and a donut (or two) sit back and enjoy the tutorial below!
