dollar

tree

and the one and only Joanna Gaines. There are some older favorites, as well as several from their new spring. collection there are eight diys in total and a lot to cover so let's go ahead and get started first is the large faux succulent terrarium which is new to the spring collection. I picked up this bag of pebbles as well as the small succulent plant from the Dollar Tree, the other materials will be recyclable including this wide mouth jar, this lid with an old handle and then also another lid which is a smaller lid that can go inside the larger lid and then a vitamin water bottle lid as well as a large bead that If I had on hand, if I were to color match the original, I would have painted these items a light brown color like this Waverly painting However, I want to match the wood I already have from the candle lid, so I'm going to take a brown and a red and mix them together until I get a color close to the color of the candle jar lid I have here.

I have been paying my lids and the bead with that paint color and then I put the smaller lid on the larger lid and glued it on with a little bit of e6000 glue and then I also glued the bead on top of the vitamin water lid which also was painted and now I'm going to go ahead and Add all of my rocks to the base, which is now the smaller cap inside the smaller cap. I'll do this by simply hot gluing, putting a little bit of hot glue on the bottom and then placing some of the little pebbles on top and tapping them. the glue and then I proceed to build the rocks again using the glue and I want to get them down and into place because they will move around in the bottle when I try to put the Bob or the jar back in. to the lid and then it comes out everywhere and gets where you don't want it to go so anyway just gluing them on is the best way to do it so this way everything stays in place so I'm just going to just take the little one succulent from my succulent plant that I got from the Dollar Tree, add a little bit of hot glue to the bottom and then place it inside the rocks and then everything is ready to put the jar on top.

To move on and, like I said, it gets a little hairy, so you know, at least this jar and this plant were a little tight, so I had to move things around and now I'm going to just take the candle lid, add some e6000 on top and just put my terrarium on top and then add the little ornament and put it in the middle and they'll be nice together and this is what it looks like when it's all together too Little wooden rounds you can get at Michael's for about a

dollar

, so they would be a good substitute for that jar of candles if you don't have one on hand and here they are both together.

The next one is oldie but goodie. On a metal stand, I started with one of these sets of football pegs from the Dollar Tree and put one of the pegs there in the bottom hole. I then grabbed some caulk from the Dollar Tree and then proceeded to apply it with my finger. in all the other remaining holes, then I use an old gift card to go back and scrape the top and remove all the excess putty. Then I took a plant stand that I bought from Lowe's for 98 cents and measured 10 inches, marked it and then cut it there, then removed the red dowel and added some hot glue to the hole and then inserted it into the plant stand cut out, then I went back and used the red dowel to squish that glue you know into that hole and make sure it was Next, nice and safe, I painted the entire piece with a little bit of this

modern

farmhouse

metallic black paint.

Once the paint was dry, I grabbed one of these vases from the Dollar Tree and inserted it into the little holder at the top and here's the finish. project filled with some greens, buds or flowers, makes a lovely little vase and here is the original in comparison, project number three was

inspired

by one of my all time favorite

magnolia

pieces, the open frame vase to start with, I'm going to grab one of these little 4 by 4 inch wall hanging plaques that they sell at Dollar Tree and they sell them in different types. This one has burlap and a metal plate on top, so I just removed those as well as the little hanger on the back and then sanded the front a bit before painting it with this sterling silver metallic folk art paint and I gave it two coats of paint to make the posts.

I used these barbecue skewers from Dollar Tree and painted them with the metal. I painted again this time in bronze color. I then cut four pieces each eight inches long to help with construction. I temporarily glued one of these little votive candles to the bottom of my shadow box. I then took some e6000 glue and added a small dab to each end on the side of the box, then I went back with some hot glue and added some to the top and bottom of the e6000 and then proceeded to add one of my 8 inch sticks to the side and held it in place until After placing the hot glue, I repeated the process on the other end adding a bit of hot glue on top and below the e6000 and then added my stick with help to the side keeping it on in place until the hot glue set.

Then I repeated the process until the end. around the box until all four sticks were in place for the crossbars. I took a remaining piece of the skewer and measured it right into place, simply marking it and cutting where necessary. I then used a little hot glue to attach it and then repeated it for On the other three sides I use the same process to measure, cut and attach the top cross bars once all four of us are attached. I simply went back and touched up the necessary areas with a little more bronze paint to give the piece the tarnished look that I used. some black craft paint on a makeup sponge and it was like a dry sponge that was dried, sponged on and then wiped off to give it a kind of hazy tarnish over the top of the crossbars.

I also used the Black paint around the edges of the base as well to give it a rusty look. I used some brown craft paint and applied it around areas that would rust naturally, places like corners and areas where metal would have been welded, areas that would be exposed. to rust and here is the finished project with a little Dollar Tree and some freshly cut vegetables and here is the original and the Dollar Tree version side by side the family favorite the hanging nut for this one. I'm going to use one. of the Dollar Tree utility hooks this is the one with seven hooks there's one with five hooks this is the biggest one with seven and I'm going to remove all the center hooks leaving the two outer hooks and then I'm going to grab a package of mouse traps Dollar Tree and remove all the hardware from which I just want to use the wood, there is also a small sticker on top.

I just took it off and then I went back with my pliers and tapped the wood to give it a more aged look and then I'm going to use some of the e6000. I applied the e6000 in kind of a dash format and then I went in between the dashes with hot glue to add a little bit of hot glue to the wire like Okay, I'm going to start in the middle with these little mousetrap blocks and that's for be able to align it well and in the center the four pieces are good and in the center and then I will do it on the left. right side and then repeat the process on the right side, the hot glue just allows it to set quickly and then you definitely need the e6000 to hold the wood on the metal, but you don't want the e6000 to move so the hot glue is what which will hold it in place while the e6000 is set up and then for extra support I'm going to go ahead and just hot glue some popsicle sticks in, well not the pop ones, see the larger hotter craft sticks. glue them to the back at the seams like this so they'll stay together nicely, so I'm going to place two of those sticks on the back behind the mouse traps.

Next, I'm going to use the handle from one of the Dollar Tree Plungers and I'm going to do some spikes using these table tennis balls, so I took a knife and cut an of the balls and then I'm going to come back with some scissors and I'm just going to cut those edges off and then I'm going to create a hole in the ball so I can attach it to the end of the handle and create a nice

decor

ative rod for the holder and then I'm going to Take the rod, the holder and some of these magnetic clips and paint them all with the farmhouse metallic black paint.

Once the paint is dry, I'll add a little bit of weathering to all the pieces by using a little bit of this brown craft paint and then just going over it again with a makeup brush, dry brushing it. I'm also going to accent with that bright yellow paint because the original piece has a little bit of blonde wood peeking out and that yellow paint is going to give me that effect. and I'm going to give this treatment to everything, including my little ping-pong ball finials for the scroll. I'm going to use this craft paper from the Dollar Tree.

I'm going to leave the plastic on the plastic wrap and I'm going to measure it 12 inches and then mark there and then proceed to cut the paper with the wrap and everything at that 12 inch mark and I'm going to use my little dollar

tree

saw to do that and then I can just remove the cellophane and add the paper to my

decor

ative rod and here is the finished project ready for your shopping list, little reminders or maybe a local and then here is the original and the dollar tree version , side by side, project number five is Another new item in Magnolia's spring collection is a ceramic black rimmed cake stand.

This cake stand may be familiar to you from our hot chocolate bar video last Christmas. In that video and this one, I'm going to use these Better Homes. and the Gardens plate and bowl are ninety-nine dollars each at Walmart and they are great because they are nice heavy ceramic and the plate looks more like a tray so it makes a perfect cake stand and a tray of two levels. and then I'm just going to add a little bit of e6000 glue to the bottom leaving little gaps for my hot glue because I always like to do that so my hot glue can grab it quickly and hold the e6000 or the pieces in place while the e6000 When sets up, I'm just going to add that to the bottom of the plate, hold it in place until the hot glue makes sure it's nice and centered as well and then I'm just going to flip it over and I can apply my pinto all the way to the edge and to To do that I'm going to use some chalk paint.

You could use the all-purpose paint which was the other paint I showed there briefly. I'm going to just use a makeup sponge and I'm going to go all the way around the edge with black paint, now I use chalk paint because even though all-purpose paint is supposed to be the most preferable for glass surfaces, I find that enough really has Staying power like chalk. paint so I'm going to go ahead and use it for this application and again go around the entire edge and create the look of the

magnolia

cake stand and here is the finished project with all the paint applied and then here are the two sides.

On the other hand, project number six is ​​also new this spring. It's the Baxter flashlight for this project. I used three of the little black frames, also some of the craft wooden dowels, one of these battery operated candles, some of this garden wire, and a box of Tabasco sauce. of this came from the Dollar Tree, including the Tabasco sauce. Actually, I just want the box in there. The Tabasco sauce is a bonus to start with. I'm going to take my dolls now. Four of those studs will be thirty centimeters long. Twelve inch pegs will still be twelve inch pegs, but I'm going to take a couple of pegs and cut them into two and a half inch pieces that will be for the cross bars of my flashlight, etc.

I'll take one of my 12 inch dowels, put a little hot glue on the end and then add one of those crossbars to the bottom and hold it in place while the hot glue hardens. I'm going to repeat the process on top of that same Dao just add one of the crossbars to the side and then hold it in place. Now I'm going to take some more hot glue and put it on the ends of those cross pieces and add one at a time. another one of my 12 inch dowels to the side, so I'm going to create this nice rectangle from the two short pieces and the two long pieces of the Dow, then I'll repeat the process and make a second one and then to take my little black frames and the two of those, I've removed the frames and all of their contents on the third, I'm going to keep everything in place except I'm just going to remove the back and then I'm going to remove that little you.

You know, the bracket that sticks on the back, so I'll go back to thefront of that same frame, the one that's intact, I'm going to add a little bit of e6000 glue and then I'm going to come back again with my little hot glue dots and then I'm going to take one of my empty frames and just place it right on top and glue those two pieces together and now to my combo frame of two pieces glued together, I'm going to go back to that, add a little bit of e6000 and a little bit of hot glue. to the center of that frame at the top of that frame and then I'll add the glass piece on top.

Then I'm going to take some e6000 and also some hot glue and add them to the top of the glass and then I'm going to take my rectangles and I'm going to put them on the glue that's on the top of the glass, on top of the frame, so that the rectangles they sit on the glass, otherwise it would just be that little thin piece of the frame and so the glass in the frame gives you more surface area to work with, so I'll take my smaller pieces and go back and cut them to size and I'll just add some crossbars again adding some e6000 and some hot glue to the top of the glass so I can secure the sides on both at the bottom of the frame and then also on the sides keeping the two rectangles together and then I just repeated the process. on the other side for the top of the lantern I'm going to use the third frame again replacing the frame glass on the outside of the frame so I added a little bit of e6000 and then a little bit of hot glue on the top of the frame and then I'll take that piece of glass and place it right on top and then once the glue is ready I can go ahead and just replace the backing of the frame and then glue the cap on top of the lantern.

I'm going to use the Tabasco box to create the top of the lantern, so I'm only going to measure an inch and a half. It probably would have been better with 1 inch, in fact it looks a little out of place. I think 1 inch tall would have been fine, but anyway I cut it to an inch and a half and then I just used a hole punch to create two holes in the side and then I used some wire to create a little handle and I just cut a piece and then I wrapped it. around the edges through the hole and on the other side as well and we simply gave it the same shape as presented in the Magnolia version.

The candle comes with a small stand and also has a base that unscrews, that's where the batteries go. and I'm going to take that base, the stand, the little ornament and the lantern and I'm going to paint them all with antique copper metallic oxide-oleum spray paint and that's there on the left side which is the finished product, this is what it looks like after. I spray painted it and now I want to give it a little bit of a dull look, so I'm going to grab some of this burnt umber paint. I'm also going to add some glazing medium because I don't want the paint.

To make it really thick, I just want to give it that kind of tarnish haze on the top so I can achieve that with a little bit of the icing medium. I have a big bottle there, but you can get it, I think it's like $1. or $2 for the small container and then that just thins out the paint and creates an effect on top instead of painting over it with the burnt umber color, so it just gives it a little bit of a burnt umber accent and still allows the antique copper to shine, so I'm going to paint the entire piece with this glaze.

You'll be able to see the effect better on this little ornament so you can see where it was like a brighter aged copper look underneath and then when you apply the varnish, it just gives it a nice haze on top. I'm just going to take a little bit of my e6000, apply it to the bottom of my ornament and add it to the top of the lantern, do it right in the middle on the right. at the top and then there is the finished lantern with the small candle on top and here is the comparison with the original Magnolia version.

Project number seven is a grass jar and, like the terrarium above, offers an unconventional way to add a touch of green. In this project I used one of these glass jars from the Dollar Tree as well as some reindeer moss and just placed the reindeer moss on the bottom of the jar, then I grabbed some of these onion grass stems also from the Dollar Tree and I unwrapped the stems, the kind of outer shell and then that reveals all these smaller stems that you can cut into pieces and then what I did was I took a piece and I measured it four inches, so I'm going to cut four inch pieces. the grass, so I cut all the stems off the main stem and then proceeded to cut them all back to four inches.

Then I took the top pieces that work, you know, the cut remains and then I just taped them to the bottom and again cut four. inches to create a few more steps and then I simply proceeded to hot glue the bottom parts and stick them directly into the moss. I decided to go back and add some floral tape to the bottom since the clear tape was sticking out from the mall that I could see it, so it's a better idea when doing this project to use floral tape to the bottom of the little stems that you cut and here is the finished project with all the breasts inserted and here is the comparison between the Magnolia and Dollar Tree versions. and last but not least, one of my other favorites of the Magnolia coffee sign.

To start, I bought the Dow square lumber at Lowe's for two dollars and 18 cents, it's a 36 inch dowel, so I just wanted to measure 25 inches, mark and cut. There I then sanded the edge to get a nice smooth surface. Then I used a ruler to mark the spots where I'm going to apply or place the letters, so first I marked the one inch mark on the four inch mark on the five inch mark. then I went down at the 8 inch mark, then at the nine and twelve inch mark. Then I took my ruler and reset it at that 12 inch mark to start over and then again at the one inch mark, at the five inch mark and at the nine inch mark now I'm going to start putting screws in these marks and that's what's going to hold my letters on so I'm going to grab some hot glue and these are two inch number 10 screws.

I will have a list in the description box. too and I'm going to add two inch screws to each mark except the one I'm making right now. I'm going to go back and change to a 1 inch screw, but for now it's enough. Say all other brands will receive a 2 inch #10 screw and simply go ahead and hot glue each of the brands made above. Now, you see, I'm going to go back because that's not going to work. it's a small piece that has to go there, so I need a 1 inch screw in that place in that second place, but the rest will be two inch screws and now I'm going to make my letters using these paper straws from Dollar Tree.

So the first letter I'm making is an F, so I'm going to use a full straw for the bottom piece and then cut pieces one to three inches and one to two and a half inches and then that one. The cross piece will be on top, it will be the three inches to create the first horizontal line of the F and then just hold the hot glue in place until it hardens and then go down about an inch and a half, add another bit of glue heat and Place the two and a half inch cross piece in that spot now to make sure all of my subsequent letters line up with my first letter.

I went and took the vertical piece and marked where the horizontal pieces came in, obviously the top piece. it will always be on top, but the bottom pieces may not line up, so you need to go ahead and make sure you do that. I went back and marked on the board that the actual numbers lined up, so that's how it would be. It's easier for me to explain where I was saying I was going to put the letters, so what I'm going to do is add the first F first and I'm going to add it there in the number nine place, that first number nine place, and so I'm going to take a little bit of this putty from Dollar Tree and I'm going to put it on all the threads so it's nice and tacky around the screw threads, so I'm going to take my finger and make sure it all stays. nice and smooth and inside the threads a little messy but it's worth it it's a really cute project and then I'm just going to insert the straw over the top of the screw then I'm going to go ahead and add the next F and use again This time I'm going to do the same process in the number one spot, there won't actually be anything in the number 12 spot, that was just so we could reset the rule, but that second number one spot will get our next F and then just go in and again clean up any excess chatter sticky at the bottom and the next letter will be the e insurgent at the number five, the second number five and the e was made in the same way as the FS except of course a third horizontal piece was added at the bottom and that was a three inch long horizontal piece to make the oh, I'm going to go to the first five and eight screws and add some and then I'm just going to just add two full straws right on top now before I do my horizontal pieces on the o .

I'm going to finish all my vertical pieces and I'm just going to go down to the C real quick and add some putty to that number one and number four screw and then I'm going to add a full size straw to the number one and then a piece of cut one inch straw and a half to the number four screw to make the horizontal pieces. I'm going to take a straw and measure it right in place so I know how much to cut, then I'm going to go ahead and add some hot glue right in place and just add my piece for the top piece.

I'm going to measure again right there at the bottom, cut the piece out and then just add it to the top, then add another one and a half inch vertical piece to complete the top and then repeat the process to complete Oh, once that's all was on, I painted it again with metallic black spray paint and here is the finish. project and here are the two versions, Magnolia and Dollar Tree, side by side.
