I wrote this a bit ago but I came up with some more great ideas.
I love the Dollar Tree, and I’m lucky enough to have one a few blocks away. Everytime I enter the store…I am overwhelmed with ideas! I walk down each of the isles scoping out what is new and what I can do with it! Here are some ideas you can do for so much less than buying at craft stores, etc.
Are you planning a wedding or a big event? Check this out!
Add a decorative touch to your table settings with Gold Plastic Charger Plates with Beaded Rims at a low $1 price from DollarTree.com. Plastic chargers have a decorative beaded rim and make a stylish presentation under dinner plates — they’ll be a stunning finishing touch to holiday table settings and reception or event tables for weddings, retirement parties, corporate functions, and so much more! Alternatively, they can be displayed on a wall, used as a base for candles, or even decorated as a gift, craft, or piece of décor. The bottom of each plastic charger is black. For decorative use only — not safe for food service. Not microwave or dishwasher safe.
You can purchase everything you see in the picture above…even the succulent! They are also available in Pearlized White. Elegance for less!

Looking for affordable school supplies? You’ve been saved by the bell —Shop the Dollar Tree classroom and stay on budget with teacher supplies from workbooks and flashcards to craft supplies, classroom decorations, storage containers, and more.
Remember the pretty Glass Gem Candle holder?
I purchased everything I needed that you see pictured except the colored sand. You can see here: https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/04/15/glass-gem-candleholder/
The plates above are for decorating, you can not eat off them with the glitter
Below all you need is 3 of these plastic plates, and 2 wine glasses.
Isn’t this pretty. You can purchase a bunch of these compact mirrors and make this pretty wall feature:
I have purchased a few of these at the Dollar Store….but I never painted them like this…how pretty!
This person took a bunch of ice cube trays and stacked and nailed to the wall….creates great little cubies for all those small toys kids love to collect:
Thinking of kids….Isn’t this a cute idea.
You can stencil a pattern on a pillow…isn’t this pretty!
Those plastic gloves….isn’t this a cute idea!
What can you do with those white clear round glass fillers? modpodge a pic of something onto the back. Add mod podge again to back. When it’s dry, you can glue a magnet to the back and put on fridge!
Also in the floral dept. are these square mirrors. Glue them together to create a square, then glue one to the bottom. You now have a beautiful planter.
Those round tins you find in the school supplies. They are great to add a magnet to bottom and spices inside. Just put a label on. They charge so much for these containers in a regular store.
I would purchase a metal cookie sheet or a piece of metal, and put on a wall in the kitchen near the stove…
Isn’t this pretty.
These trays are painted with chalkboard paint!! You can get so many ideas from this.
All of these great ideas were done with supplies from the Dollar Tree. You can find so much online at the Dollar Tree. You get free shipping if you have it shipped to your nearest store.
Love them all, especially the chalkboard trays.
