This year is quickly flying by and Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, so today I have something really special for you. 

Ya know, the older I get the less knickknacks I want around the house cluttering my space especially for fleeting holidays. While I enjoy making home decor and unique pieces for my home, I want to make more meaningful pieces for my decor. And by meaningful sometimes I mean more challenging.

This year is going to be the year where I test my artistic abilities so I thought why not challenge myself in creating custom artwork for Valentine’s Day.

I love watching people paint and one of my favorite watercolor painters is Ellen Crimi Trent on YouTube. She’s amazing and I hope to one day paint as good as her. She created two beautiful watercolor pieces of art and I thought I would recreate one of them (using my stash of non-professional craft acrylic paint, LOL!)

So here goes..

Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I bought some canvases at the Dollar Tree (in their more expensive section). They have 3 packs for $5. I used the largest one of the pack for this.

I gave it one coat of white chalk paint. And when that dried I used a heart doily to trace a heart onto it. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 1 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

Next, I taped off the inside of the heart so I wouldn’t get paint on that portion. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 2 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

Then I just pulled out some of my craft paint and began adding flowers all around. I used light pink, peach and a fuchsia color. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 3 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I started with roses, made buds and honestly I just kept adding shapes all over the place. I really didn’t know how it was going to turn out. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 4 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I also added stems and random leaves throughout. 

Valentines Wall Art and Printable 5 Valentines Day Wall Art and Printable

I added layers of color, waiting until the paint below dried to add more. Then I continued to fill in all the white space left around the heart.

Once I thought I did enough, I removed the tape.

Here’s how it turned out in the end! I didn’t think it was too bad considering it was my first attempt. And while I am happy I can enjoy this in my home, I figured I would share it with you all!

I adjusted the colors just a bit in order to make a more romantic and upscale look but the quality of the image turned out pretty great!

There is an 8 x 10 version as well as a printable for a Valentine’s Day card for you to use this Valentine’s Day.

Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Every once in a while, I like to do compilation videos on my channel. This helps newer subscribers become familiar with any past DIYs that they haven’t seen yet and it also gives me the opportunity to group things in a video with a particular theme.

I have used Dollar Tree rope to create a lot of DIYs and I thought it would be great to round up some old ones and create some new ones, so that’s what I did.

I shared 12 ROPE DIYs in my recent video and in today’s post I am sharing one of those 12. This is a brand-new DIY and I think it’s perfect for the warmer months ahead. It has a coastal feel but it’s not too “themey” which is just the way I like it. 

The next bonus is that it’s super easy to make and really inexpensive.

Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

What you need:

  • Wreath Form
  • Nautical Rope
  • Regular Rope
  • Greenery 
  • Floral 
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue

I took a green wreath form and wrapped 2 different types of Dollar Tree rope around (the nautical newer one and their original brown one). 

DIY Coastal Wreath 2 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

Quick note: when choosing your nautical rope make sure you select the same color. Some batches were dyed differently. I know it’s hard to tell, but the left rope below is more creamy and the one on the right is more gray. It may be subtle but it can affect your final look. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 1 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

Moving on…

You want to wrap your rope two at a time, making sure that they are nice and tight as you go around. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 3 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

You will notice that the rope will start to become more and more angled as you continue. This is due to the roundness of the wreath. You can go as far as you can without it being too much of a slant. 

Once it was too slanted, I decided to stop and continue my rope wrapping on the other side. You can see what I am referring to below. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 4 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

The good news is that I did not have to go all the way to the bottom since I was going to add greenery. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 5 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

I had some leftover palms from a previous DIY that I adhered with some hot glue.

RELATED: Stunning DIY Cork Wreath

DIY Coastal Wreath 6 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

Then I added one stem of pink flowers to the front. I didn’t want to add too many since in this case less is more. You can choose to add as many or as little as you want and you can use different colors of flowers as well. 

DIY Coastal Wreath 7 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

And that was pretty much it! I hot-glued small piece of jute to the back of the wreath and hung it up with a command hook.

DIY Coastal Wreath 8 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

It’s simple but the rope just makes a beautiful statement. And now that my door is a blue color, I think it looks perfect for summer!

 

DIY Coastal Wreath 10 Coastal Rope Wreath DIY

I think the combination of the two ropes is stunning and so unique. Put this on your front door and your guests will love it for sure!

Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

*Some of the following links are affiliate links. Please see full disclosure for complete details*

Hey there and Happy Friday! I have a little bonus blog post for you and it’s another Valentine’s DIY!

For this one, I am using 4 of the canvas frames (5″ x 7″) from Dollar Tree in order to make a lantern. These frames were back from my Christmas Haul and I was supposed to make something for Christmas out of them, however I never got to it. 

But hey! It still worked out. 

Make sure you scroll to the end for even more DIYs! 

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 1 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

The first thing you need to do is remove the canvas.

RELATED: DIY Valentine’s Wreath

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 2 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

Next you want to remove the staples. If anyone tells you this is easy, you are being lied to. Holy moly, it took me forever to remove them! 

An hour later, I was left with a ton of holes! I didn’t like the way they looked so I had some Dollar Tree spackle and used it to fill in the holes.

Once the spackle was dry, I sanded everything smooth.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 3 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

I put them together with some wood glue to create the shape of a lantern. 

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 4 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

Then, I painted the lantern in my favorite white chalk paint.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 5 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

After the paint dried I came in with my Rustoleum Aged Glaze and applied a light coat all over with a lint free rag.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 6 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

I then took these cute Dollar Tree hearts that were new this year (they come 5 to a pack) as well as this new striped ribbon in order to hang it from each side. And I cut the ribbon in 4 pieces that were all the same length.

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 7 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

Then I glued the center tip of the heart to the center tip of the ribbon with hot glue to secure it in place. And then I hot glued the end of the ribbon over and under the top of each frame that way there were no ribbon ends exposed on the inside of the lantern.

Once all 4 sides were done that was it! All I needed was a candle to place inside. 

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 8 Dollar Tree Valentines Lantern

I love the rustic touch this brings to my decor but it still has that romantic shabby chic feel. 

Dollar Tree Valetines Decor 10 Dollar Tree Valentines LanternAnd of course, like always  you can adjust the color of the lantern and/or the color of your ribbon to match your style.

Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath Pin Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! Today I have a simple Valentine’s DIY that you can recreate with items you may already have at home.

My goal for this year is to not buy too many unnecessary things, especially when it comes to crafting. I will be taking that into consideration whenever I bring you DIY’s going forward. Oftentimes what happens is that crafters and DIYers like me end up buying “all the things” because we think we can make “all the things” but honestly life gets in the way. And then we don’t get everything done that we wanted to in the first place. In the end we are left with a stash of unused crafting items. Ugh.

Trust me, I know… (consider this an insider’s look into a DIYer’s life, ha!)

 This presents several problems:

  1. Unused items that will take up space and clutter my home
  2. Spending unnecessary funds (that’s nicer than saying “wasting money”?)
  3. Disappointment and guilt 

So… we are nixing all that this year!

Seriously… the only thing I bought new for today’s DIY was the heart wreath form and that only cost $1. The rest was left over from my DIYs from last year.

I said it was a problem. ?

You will simply need a wreath form in the shape of a heart, khaki colored ribbon (or any of your choice) and faux florals. 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 1 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

>>>As always you can follow this tutorial on my Youtube Channel. <<<

The first thing I did was cut the ribbon in half to make thinner strips. Since it is so wide it would have been too hard to wrap around the wreath.

RELATED: Neutral Valentines Day Decor 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 2 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Then I hot-glued the end of the ribbon to the center wreath wire from behind and I began to wrap it around (hot gluing on the back as I continued around).

*In order to make this look nice and clean you want to make sure you space out the ribbon evenly as you wrap it around.

I didn’t have to worry about bringing the ribbon back down to cover the wreath form completely because I was going to cover that area with the roses.

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 3 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

The first thing I did was remove the rose heads from the stems.

I took the leaves of the bushes as well and began to glue them onto the bottom third of the wreath. I did this in order to have some back fill.

Then I placed the roses on the wreath. I used hot glue to secure them. 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 4 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

*Now, in order for the roses to lay flat you will have to cut off the stem to the very end, but if you do this the rose will unravel because nothing is holding it together. So, in order to prevent this I like to add hot glue between the petals to make sure the whole flower stays intact.

I placed the lighter roses on the top and the darker roses on the bottom.

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 5 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

Once I was happy with how it looked I added a little piece of jute string to the back with hot glue to hang it up.

And that was it!

It looks awesome on my front door (it also helps that I just painted it, LOL!). 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 6 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

I love that it’s not cheesy and over the top, yet still has that “romantic feel”. 

Dollar Tree Valentines Wreath 7 Dollar Tree Valentines Day Wreath

And the best part about it is that it only cost me $1 (everything was left over from last year with the exception of the heart form ??).

Hello friends! Hope you are doing well! Today is Day 11 of my 12 Days of Christmas and I am going to have to apologize from the get-go. My plan was to create a detailed post on these Christmas trees, but my husband has been dealing with the manflu and since I have been taking care of him, guess who now is feeling under the weather??? 

Ugh! I love taking care of family when they are sick, I just don’t want to get sick myself, but here we are…

So I will have to give my self a little grace and take it easy or else there won’t be a Day 12. I did try to make it up by adding 2 different DIYs and one of them in a Pottery Barn Dupe! 

I was able to edit the video tutorial for both, but I didn’t have enough strength to edit the images… Video is included  below for you. All you have to do is click PLAY. 

CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

Here are what the first set looks like.

I used popsicle sticks and thumbtacks to create the look of metal corners on the larger crate. I have a full and detailed tutorial on how to create a faux galvanized look on anything in this Youtube video. 

Dollar Tre Mini Christmas Tree Decor 2 Dollar Tree Mini Christmas Tree Decor

The larger trees are new from Dollar Tree this year and I used white pom poms to act as snow.

For the second DIY, I recreated the trees below. The cheeseboards from Pottery Barn are so pretty but too expensive so I recreated the look for less. 

Screen Shot 2020 12 09 at 5.02.06 PM Dollar Tree Mini Christmas Tree Decor

I used Dollar Tree wood tree cutouts and painted them with my favorite white chalk paint and Aged Glaze to give them a similar look.

And even though these aren’t cheeseboards, you can still enjoy how closely they resemble the original inspiration pieces and use them as decor.

Happy Monday! Hope you are all well! 

Today is Day 7 from my 12 Days of Christmas and I have another easy DIY for you! This time I am up-cycling an old and unused tray that I have had for years. I was seriously about to get rid of it by donating it, but then I thought I would give it one last try at redemption.

CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

Cookies for Santa Tray 1 DIY Cookies for Santa Tray First thing I did was prime it with spray primer (you can see some upcoming DIY’s coming your way).  

Trying to hit 2 birds with one stone there. ?

Cookies for Santa Tray 2 DIY Cookies for Santa TrayNext, I spray painted it with some leftover white satin spray paint that was literally almost out (but I made it work!).

I use a spray tent whenever I spray paint inside my garage (especially in the winter). It’s the best thing ever for spray painting! I think this is actually one of the things I have used the most in my DIY years. It’s great to capture overspray! If you haven’t gotten one, it’s definitely a must have for the Christmas wish list! 

Then with my Cricut Maker I made this cute vinyl decal. This decal is also available in my shop. 

Cookies for Santa Tray 3 DIY Cookies for Santa Tray

I tried very carefully to place it in the center. Talk about pressure! 

Cookies for Santa Tray 4 DIY Cookies for Santa Tray

Then I got the crazy idea to hand paint some holly leaves and berries on 2 corners of the decal. 

Cookies for Santa Tray 5 DIY Cookies for Santa Tray

For the berries, I used a berry off a Dollar Tree bush, put it on a toothpick, then used it as a stamp! 

Talk about craftiness! ?

Cookies for Santa Tray 6 DIY Cookies for Santa Tray

It worked out pretty good actually. I used the color Crimson by Waverly for this. 

Cookies for Santa Tray 7 DIY Cookies for Santa Tray

And that was it!!! Eventually I will probably seal it with a clear coat, but since I will just be using it once this Christmas it should be okay for now.

I am sure the kids are going to be excited to actually have a tray this year to put mommy’s amazing sugar cookies on! 

Seriously, if you haven’t tried the recipe you totally should!

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments


NEW Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments
Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 

Hey everyone! It’s Day 4 and I am still alive! Today I am making these adorable little Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments that have yet to be seen (well I haven’t seen any ?) so you can imagine how excited I am.


CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

DAY 1 | DAY 2 |DAY 3 |DAY 4| DAY 5 | DAY 6 | DAY 7 | DAY 8| DAY 9| DAY 10 | DAY 11 |DAY 12

You can also watch all of these video tutorials as well on on the playlist and see these back to back on the playlist!


 The best part about this is that Dollar Tree is currently flooded with these in the craft section because these are for Spring so you should definitely find plenty! 

I chose these 3 different styles but they do have others as well. 

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 2 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

In addition, I decided to give them all different paint jobs so that you can see several options. 

I chose to paint 2 of the house “bodies” with my favorite white chalk paint and the other I decided to use my Rustoleum’s Aged Glaze that I have been using on everything lately to give one of the houses a stained look. 

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 3 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

I also painted another house’s roof with the same aged glaze.

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 4 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

On that ornament, I also decided to also paint a red ticking stripe with some Waverly chalk paint. 

Then on the house with the white roof, I wanted it to have the look of snow. So, I decided to use some school glue and add glitter to the roof. Once the glitter dried, I sprayed it with some Mod Podge Ultra in order to make sure the glitter wouldn’t fall off. 

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 6 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

I added a few more details like this cute little bow from another Dollar Tree ornament that I didn’t use. 

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 7 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

And I added some berries to the one with the black chalk painted roof. I wanted to create a wreath around the entrance hole. 

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 8 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

Lastly, I added a little bit of greenery and some tiny berries to the last house.

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 9 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

Finally in order to hang them, I used the same hooks that I used on my glass ornaments and simply screwed them into the little roofs. I added some ribbon and that was it! 

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 11 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

Aren’t these the cutest ornaments (besides my last ones ?) ever?!?!? 

Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments 13 Dollar Tree Birdhouse Ornaments

And the possibilities with colors and accessories are truly endless…

I think the little bow on the one below was just perfect.

Happy Day 3 of !2 Days of Christmas! I am excited for today’s DIY since I have never actually made an advent wreath before. 


CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

DAY 1 | DAY 2 |DAY 3 |DAY 4| DAY 5 | DAY 6 | DAY 7 | DAY 8| DAY 9| DAY 10 | DAY 11 |DAY 12

 

You can also watch all of these video tutorials as well on on the playlist and see these back to back on the playlist!


 

Also before I start I wanted to share some happy news! If you follow me on Instagram you probably already know, but one of my DIYs was featured in the special Christmas issue of Country Sampler Farmhouse Magazine! %name Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

I even got a full page spread!!!!! How cool is that?!? I was so excited and honored and humbled…. frankly I couldn’t believe that one of my DIYs made it’s way to this nationally distributed magazine. ?

%name Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

You can see how I made those featured ornaments here and if you wish to get your own copy you can always order one online or you can purchase them at your local craft store or grocery store. My dad got his at Publix ?.

Okay, let’s get right into it and as always you can find the video tutorial for this on my channel as well. 

*Some of the links below may be affiliate links. Please see full disclose for more details*

You will need at least 2 bags of these cut pieces of birch from Dollar Tree.  If you wish, you can always use more in order to make it larger, but definitely no less than 2. 

Advent Wreath 1 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

You will also need candles. I used these LED battery operated ones since I have little kids, but you can use the regular wax candles. Keep them the traditional purple and pink or go neutral as I did. 

Advent Wreath 2 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

Next, you want to hot glue all of the pieces together. You will start with one ring, but be sure you have enough for two layers (one on top of the other). 

Advent Wreath 3 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

When you place the second layer make sure you stagger the pieces as best as you can. This will create a stronger hold. Hot glue each piece to the ones below and next to each other. 

Advent Wreath 4 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

After that is done, hot glue the stands to each of the candles on all 4 corners. Try to get it as square as possible. 

Advent Wreath 5 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

Next, get yourself some flower bushes. I chose these white poinsettias in two different styles. Pull off the flowers from the stems as well as some of the leaves. 

Advent Wreath 6 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

Use some of the leaves on either side of the candle stands to hide them. You can add more greenery throughout as well. 

Advent Wreath 7 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

I then began to hot glue the poinsettias onto the wreath. 

Advent Wreath 8 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

You can make their placement completely random or you can do as I did. I did two mesh poinsettias with one glittery poinsettia in between each of the candles.

Advent Wreath 9 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

And that was it! So simple and elegant. I also love the contrast of the rustic birch and the white blooms. 

Advent Wreath 10 Dollar Tree Advent Wreath

Please let me know what you think of this little advent wreath! Have you made one recently?

I hope you are enjoying these quick DIYs and I will see you back here for the next one!

DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous week! Today I am sharing another DIY… as a matter of fact, I am doing the 12 Days of Christmas on my Youtube channel where I share one DIY every day for 12 days and I am wondering if I will keep up here. ?

Here’s hoping! ??


CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

DAY 1 | DAY 2 |DAY 3 |DAY 4| DAY 5 | DAY 6 | DAY 7 | DAY 8| DAY 9| DAY 10 | DAY 11 |DAY 12

You can also watch all of these video tutorials as well on on the playlist and see these back to back on the playlist!


In order to get started on these DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments you will need some of the little glass bottles below. 

Yes, we are making glass ornaments! Cute little mini snow globe village ones that is…

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 2 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

You find the bottles you see above near the sand bags in the decor section at Dollar Tree. Remove the stickers and wash and dry them well….

Next, you will need these village accessories, also from Dollar Tree. 

RELATED: DIY BALLARD DESIGNS CHRISTMAS TREE DUPE

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 3 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

I will be using the Christmas tree and one light post for each ornament. 

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 4 DIY Dollar Tree Glass OrnamentsSince the light post is too large for the bottle as is, I needed to cut it down, so I started by removing the snow on the bottom (it’s one piece that pops out). And then I cut the half wall side off. 

The pieces are hollow and in order to prevent this from showing, I cut off the end of the half wall that I cut off and then glued them back together…. 

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 5 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

I just put them together like I did below and filled them with hot glue. Once the glue dried it was one piece.

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 6 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

After removing the bottom snow portion of the tree I filled the underneath area up (since it was also hollow) with hot glue and then placed it inside the bottle.

I couldn’t find my craft tweezers so a mini clothes pin had to do! 

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 7 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

Then I added the light post. After those were dry I added a little bit of Dollar Tree white sand. 

RELATED: DOLLAR TREE HIGH END ORNAMENTS

I added a couple of dots of hot glue to the cork top and placed it back on the bottle. This will ensure the cork doesn’t just slide off. 

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 9 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

Afterwards, I tied a bow around the neck of the bottle.

And then I used this small hook (found in one of my picture hanging kits) to screw into the top of the cork so I could have a place to hang the ornament from. 

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 11 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

With the addition of another piece of ribbon, I was done!

How adorable is this?!?! I love the delicateness of it all… and the fact that it’s actually glass so it doesn’t feel cheap. 

Dollar Tree DIY Glass Ornaments 13 DIY Dollar Tree Glass Ornaments

These bottles are just the perfect size as well. Since they are glass they are heavier so you wouldn’t want anything bigger weighing down your branches.

I have been creating videos on Youtube so don’t forget if you are not subscribed, please make sure to head on over to get even more inspiration. I will also be sharing specific videos at the end of the posts so make sure you scroll to the end. 

For today’s DIY, I will be making a Dollar Tree Farmhouse Christmas Countdown that is brand new and never before seen!! This is part of my 12 Days of Christmas where I bring 1 Christmas DIY a day for 12 Days. 


CHECK OUT all of the 12 Days of Christmas here!

DAY 1 | DAY 2 |DAY 3 |DAY 4| DAY 5 | DAY 6 | DAY 7 | DAY 8| DAY 9| DAY 10 | DAY 11 |DAY 12

 

You can also watch all of these video tutorials as well on on the playlist and see these back to back on the playlist!


I was looking for something I can create that would be solely my own since there are so many options out there already so I made sure to include a free printable that I designed so you can make your own too. More on that in a bit… 

Here is the item you will need from Dollar Tree. It’s not the cutest thing in the world, but it had instant potential in my opinion. Extra points if you can guess what that date means…

First thing to do is remove all of the tags, then paint it with black chalk paint. 

Dollar Tree Farhouse Christmas Countdown 3 Dollar Tree Farmhouse Christmas Countdown

My Folkart black chalk paint only requires one coat, but I did two so I could make sure the indentations from the original sign’s design did not show through.

Next it was time for the printable, you can sign up to download these here. 

It’s best to print them on card stock. I also have a version in Spanish as well.  You can use a paper trimmer or scissors to cut them. I like to leave a little bit of white on the exterior to showcase the border, but you can cut right on the line.

Next, take a hole punch and punch the top centers. You want to make sure to punch in the exact same spot so they all hang evenly.

Next, I cut the ends off of 4 jumbo popsicle stick for my frame hack. If you don’t have these sheers get them, they make projects like this so much easier! 

Plus it’s a great gift for any fellow crafter. ?

Set those 4 popsicle sticks aside and get yourself some ribbon. 

Dollar Tree Farhouse Christmas Countdown 8 Dollar Tree Farmhouse Christmas Countdown

I decided to layer mine and add this cute gingham ribbon from Dollar Tree. 

Use hot glue for the ribbon and then cut the ribbon on the edges, enough to fold over onto the back of the sign and then glue those ends down as well. Next, hot glue the popsicle sticks to the back of the sign. 

Dollar Tree Farhouse Christmas Countdown 9 Dollar Tree Farmhouse Christmas Countdown

You want to make sure you leave half of the popsicle hanging out from the original frame. This is where you will attach dowels to form a frame on the exterior of the sign. By doing this, you’re adding more surface area to glue the dowel down and make it more secure.

I used my sheers to cut my 1/2″ dowels and then hot glued them down. 

Finally, it was time to add a little finishing touch and I used a piece of greenery that I removed from a Dollar Tree ornament and placed it in the center of the sign.

And that was it for this Countdown to Christmas DIY! I love how it turned out!

Happy Hump Day! Hope you are all are doing well on this very chilly day in Georgia. Last night we lit a fire in our fireplace for the first time since moving into our home and it was glorious! 

Today I will be making two different versions of the ornament above so you can see how versatile this simple piece can be for your decor this season. 

Dollar Tree sells these little wood pieces for the Christmas season. They come several to one pack. I am using this bell one below…

…as well as this snowflake one. 

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments 1 DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments

For each of these, I took the spackle that they sell at Dollar Tree and filled in the little holes at the top as well as the line across the bell piece. 

I sanded them smooth and they painted them with my favorite white chalk paint. 

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments 3 DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments

I set those to dry and then I took this little hexagonal plague I purchased at Michael’s in their dollar section. It already had a little jute loop to hang it up. 

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments 6 DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments

I taped the inside up and painted the inside and outside of the frame. I used black chalk paint for this, but you can use whichever color you prefer. 

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments 7 DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments

Next, I took my Chalked Aged Glaze (this is the glaze I use to create a faux wood look on just about anything) and used it as a stain for this inside of the plaque. 

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments 8 DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments

I set that aside and went back to my smaller pieces. Since, I am really loving ticking stripes right now, I decided to add some to my bell. I chose to set it off to the side so I taped it off with washi tape and painted it black. 

Then I removed the tape and once the paint was dry I did a perpendicular line to the first one, intersecting them on the bottom right. 

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments 4 DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments

Then to add the smaller stripes on either side I used a ruler and a sharpie.

Once done, I used these adhesive dot risers from Dollar Tree to raise the little snowflake and bell before placing them on the plaque. 

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments 9 DIY Farmhouse Christmas Ornaments

I still used hot glue on the back of the snowflake and bell, because the risers don’t hold up as great with items that are a little heavier than paper or card-stock.

I then placed them in the centers of the plaques.

And that was it! 

I LOVE how these turned out! They are rustic, farmhouse, neutral and just classic! They are also a great size so they are really noticeable on the Christmas tree.

Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees

Happy Friday! Hope you all are doing well! The weekend is here and I am so excited!

I have nothing exciting planned except sleep. That’s fun right?

I have another super easy (and neutral) Dollar Tree DIY. In the image above 3 out of the 4 trees you see are Dollar Tree DIYs. I actually made two of them two years ago and I added a new one to the collection this year. I grouped them with the tall vine tree from Hobby Lobby to show that they can totally blend in with higher quality seasonal decor. 

So let’s get started! 

For this you will need one of those little terra-cotta pots you can get at Dollar Tree (they come in a pack of two). I chose to paint mine with my favorite white chalk paint, but you can use whatever color you desire. I only needed one coat for full coverage. 

Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees 1 Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees

Next you are going to take a foam cone (from Dollar Tree’s floral section) and the new nautical rope they carry. Make sure to remove the black tape at the end before starting… you want to wrap the foam one starting from the bottom up. 

Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees 2 Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees

In order to make it nice and clean take your time and pull the rope slightly taught and keep it level as you move up the cone. Add hot glue as you go. This tree will take one and a half ropes. 

Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees 3 Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees

When you get to the top leave a little hole, fill it with hot glue, then stuff the end of the rope into the hole. This will give the top a clean seamless look. 

Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees 4 Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees

Finally take some more foam (any kind you have on had). Glue it to the pot and then add glue to the top for the cone. 

Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees 5 Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees

And that’s it! A super easy neutral tree!

These are currently on my mantle next to my latest large farmhouse sign DIY. 

Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees 7 Dollar Tree Neutral Christmas Trees

I am loving this neutral look right now, but if I ever want to add color to these trees it will be so easy to do. Simply add ribbon matching any future color schemes!

By the way those stocking holders are another Dollar Tree DIY and they can actually hold stuff!

I hope you enjoyed another simple Dollar Tree DIY and I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Hello there! Hope everyone is doing well! Here in Georgia we are missing out on some fall weather. 70’s all week! Like what the heck?

I have been busy crafting up a storm and if you haven’t checked out my Youtube channel for lots of video tutorials this Christmas season, you definitely must. For today I have this really cute ornament DIY made from Dollar Tree items…. and no one would ever know. 

Let’s get started. 

You will need Dollar Tree pearls, ribbon, wire, large popsicle sticks, a little bit of greenery and berries.

Dollar Tree Ornament 1 Dollar Tree High End Ornament DIY

Take the pearls and feed them through the thick floral wire you can find in Dollar Tree’s floral section. Each of these will use 20 pearls. You can make 2 ornaments with one bag. 

Dollar Tree Ornament 2 Dollar Tree High End Ornament DIYWhen you get to the end, leave just enough wire to go in the last pearl. Add hot glue to both ends place the pearl in place. Hold until it dries and your mini wreath is secure. 

Dollar Tree Ornament 3 Dollar Tree High End Ornament DIY

Next, take some large popsicle sticks and cut the edges like you see below. This will make the popsicle stick look like a little banner.

For this next step I used these rub on transfers from Dollar Tree but you can also write words yourself or use a Cricut to personalize the ornaments.

Add it to the popsicle stick and then adhere it to the wreath with some hot glue. I added small bits of greenery from a greenery bush and added it to the top of the ornament with some hot glue. 

Dollar Tree Ornament 6 Dollar Tree High End Ornament DIYI cut some ribbon (this one I got from Hobby Lobby) and added it to the top. The best part about this is you can use any color ribbon to match your decor. I used some rose gold berries after I tied the ribbon.

You can use the ribbon to hang it on the tree, tie a bow out of it or just let it hang like I did. But that’s it! 

And as you can see, it looks good on a green tree.

3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

Hey there! The air is crisp in the mornings and I am loving every minute of it! How is the weather in your area?

I am so ready for sweater weather! 

I recently made 3 farmhouse signs in a partnership with Cricut for my Youtube channel. Since the partnership did not include a blog post, I had not created a a detailed tutorial for it here, however, I did want to share them with you since I think they came out really nice. 

I have wanted a huge Pumpkin Patch sign for a while now and I just had been putting off buying one since I figured one day I would make one. I was then approached by Cricut to try out the Cricut Maker and see what I could come up with, so I thought it was now or never. 

I looked online for inspiration and the one below is what I came up with. 

High End Fall Farmhouse Signs 1 3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

I think the best part about this sign (besides the fact that it has my color scheme) is that I made it with a scrap piece of particle board, a couple of furring strips and 3 Dollar Tree pumpkins! 

It came together beautifully! 

And I proudly display it on my mantle. 

I was so excited that I decided to take another scrap piece of wood that I had lying around – I have a lot of those – and make another sign. 

I always thought the “hello pumpkin” signs were cute so I decided to make one too! 

High End Fall Farmhouse Signs 2 3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

Another success using scrap wood, poplar wood, paint, ribbon and another pumpkin from Dollar Tree! 

My mother has her eyes on this one, I might lose it just like I lost that cute teapot. 

But of course, I couldn’t stop there. My subscribers love Dollar Tree DIYs so I made sure to give them that option as well. And that one is just darling! 

High End Fall Farmhouse Signs 3 3 High End Fall Farmhouse Signs

I used wooden beads, scrap paper, a Dollar Tree frame, Dollar Tree pumpkins and some scrapbook paper and voila! Another cute sign. 

And the fact that I can add whatever lettering I want to my signs was the icing on the cake. I want to customize all.the.things! And that Cricut Maker is a beast! It can cut so many different types of material, I cannot wait to see what else it does. 

Ahem… I have this one DIY for Christmas that I hope to make…??

So, if any of these signs strike your fancy ? check out the video on how they came together below!

Hello friends! The weather has been slowly changing here in Georgia. And while the days are still hot, the evening  climate has gotten quite comfortable. And because of this, I have been inspired to start creating for Fall. 

There are several DIY’s I wish to share, however for this post, I will be sharing how to make this cute pumpkin “grateful” sign inspired by one I saw at Kirklands. 

This was super inexpensive since I had everything on hand with the exception of the wood square sign that I had just purchased at Dollar Tree. 

For this you will need a square sign, pumpkin form and a leather strap to start. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 1 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

The first thing you need to do is sand the glitter from the words on both the sign and pumpkin form. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 2 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

You can paint these any colors you want to suit your decor. I used Nantucket Blue for the pumpkin and Vintage white acrylic paint for the square sign.

Next, cut a rectangle out of your leather strap.

With some scissors cut off all 4 corners as shown.

Then, with a wood burning tool. I used this one… make stitch marks along the border. And then write whatever word you choose for the front of the leather piece. I kept the word the same as my inspiration piece. 

Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor 5 Amazing Dollar Tree Fall Decor

Next, I hot glued the leather piece to the pumpkin.

Afterwards, I used some gold thumb tacks from Dollar Tree, cut off about half of the pin to make it shorter, added some hot glue to the tip and attached it to the leather strap and pumpkin. I used a small hammer and covered the pin with a towel so that whenever I hammered it down, it did not damage the gold finish.

As for the square plaque. I added some horizontal lines and used a combination of colors to add paint onto it. I used a spatula to scrape the paint across the “planks” in an attempt to give it an old painted barn wood effect.

The pumpkin will go in the center so you don’t need much detail there. To attach the pumpkin, I used hot glue as well. And that was it!

I am loving that Nantucket blue. It goes so well with my previous DIY raffia pumpkins as well.

That tray is an updated version of my last Dollar Tree raised tray. When I shared it last year many people couldn’t find the legs I had used for it, so this time I used items from Hobby Lobby that are found all year long.

7 High End Dollar Tree Fall DIYs

Hey there friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your September. I have been thinking about the Fall DIY’s that I wish to share with you all for this season and I thought it would be fun to share some of my previous DIY’s that I have made in case you haven’t seen one or two. 

Some of these are either a favorite of mine or a popular DIY among readers. These are all Dollar Tree DIY’s, but you might not have thought so at first glance. I really tried to make these so much more than just a DIY so I hope you enjoy. 


As always you can find all of the tutorials for the following Fall DIY’s in this compilation video on my Youtube channel.


  1.  Succulent Dollar Tree Pumpkins

These were made out of Dollar Tree foam pumpkins and succulents. I painted them neutral colors and added moss. You can find the full tutorial here.

4. Dollar Tree Blue & White Pumpkin Candleholder 

This one was made from another foam pumpkin. I love blue & white together and I decided to create a “faux” ceramic pumpkin that I could add a candle too and I was really happy with the result. Great thing about this is you can make the pattern any color you want to match your decor! Full tutorial (along with 3 other versions) here.

Happy Monday! We have been away for a little bit h Happy Monday! We have been away for a little bit here on Instagram taking a much needed vacation because we are about to get really busy over here.
.
If you watch our channel we just shared big news last week and our lives are about to change in an enormous way. We just purchased land and will be creating our very own homestead. We have been dreaming about this for quite some time. Last year we wanted to move forward but due to personal reasons we had to put it on hold. But for the past few months God has been calling us to pursue our dream and we finally found a little piece of heaven on earth.

We can’t wait to share more with you all but if you haven’t seen the video make sure to click the link in bio and head to our latest video on our channel. We are so excited about our new chapter and we can’t wait to get started. 💕

So I did a thing…. 🤪 I shared that I started So I did a thing…. 🤪
I shared that I started pouring my own natural soy wax candles 🕯this past Wednesday and our signature fragrance (Egyptian Amber) is already sold out. 😱
.
Holy moly! I’ve already ordered more of that fragrance and wax! But no worries - we still have 3 more fragrances available: Honeysuckle Jasmine with a hint of Vanilla (a special mix by me😏), Vanilla Lavender (also a custom mix) and Clean Cotton… plus tomorrow I’m adding Coconut Lime to the shop! 🤩
.
And if you’re wondering a little bit about these, these are all hand-poured by me (I’m still in the learning process but I’m getting better with each pour). I use nothing but USA grown soy wax, all natural, no dyes. These all burn clean as well. One thing I have tried to do in the past few years is make a healthier home for my family and I no longer buy mass manufactured dyed candles with artificial fragrances and harsh chemicals. One thing though is that I am very picky about scents and don’t really like what’s out there in the natural soy wax candle world so I started coming up with my own. If you like elegant, soothing and spa-like fragrances you will love the custom blends. 😍 
.
Plus, I find this so much fun too! I’m like a mad scientist experimenting with fragrances and percentages in my studio.

Sometimes simple is just better. Don’t underesti Sometimes simple is just better.
Don’t underestimate the ordinary pieces in your home that may be outdated or just lack a little character.
.
Many times we see what everyone else is buying right now and we think we need to have all those things too. I see so many people getting rid of perfectly good pieces in their home just so they could keep up with the current trends. A lifetime ago I might have felt left out (stressed out) because I couldn’t do this. Now, I could care less. 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
It’s been a while now since I have begun to appreciate more timeless pieces. Pieces with more classic looks. Pieces that are inexpensive but well made and purchased second hand. Yes, they may need a little TLC but they are oh so worth it in the end.
.
But you don’t always have to find something new to have nice things in your home. For example, my parents gave me these stools several years ago and they have been in our basement since we moved to our house. They are simple and definitely not “In style”. But I decided to give them a facelift and bring them back to life if you will.
.
Now speaking frankly, I am not in need of any stools nor do I have space for them but I hope their next owner will appreciate them and love their new look.
