Hey guys, it's Savannah, welcome back to my channel for today's video. I've rounded up all of my

favorite

dollar

tree

farm DIYs in my thrifted flips that have been my absolute

favorite

s so far this year, so let's start with the DIY first. I'm taking this um. I assume it's a beer mug. I don't know if it's a beer bottle. I got this out of goodwill and I think I paid for it. I tried showing the sticker at the bottom but couldn't remember what it said. I think there were two.

dollar

s and 25 cents um and I'm taking inspiration from a Kirkland piece um and I'm going to make mine a little different but I'm going to insert it right here okay this is the piece that I saw and loved.

Mine is obviously going to be a little different, but Kirkland's has this on sale for 42. Yeah, so I start by grabbing my brush and some Waverly white chalk paint and giving it a good coat making sure the middle is covered. more than like. the top and the bottom because you can see in that photo, we do something different there, but just make sure you get it as good as you want or you know what I mean and I feel like I see these jugs every time. I go to thrift stores so they are very easy to find so once it's dry I take the elephant color and throw it in a plate and then I take baking soda and throw it in the paint. and mixing this up now I've seen a few people make this and I was really excited to try this because I want this piece to look like a pottery piece like it's coming out to my backyard not my backyard because I don't have red clay here , but you know what I mean, I put this on a real ceramic will and I made it, so once I got a good texture, you saw what I did, I just mixed it and started with a sponge first to test. to get that ombre look and it just didn't work for me so I ended up taking a dollar

tree

brush and you can see what I'm doing here, I'm literally dipping it into the paint and rubbing it on.

Let's go to this jar, not going under that little bevel, just if I go under the bevel just a little bit and continue with this technique for a minute, just building up the paint and that texture, then once I get the hang of it, of Turn it over and make the bottom. Sorry, you can't see this part. I didn't know I was off camera, but you'll see me do something else at the bottom in a second. it'll be a little bit easier to see, you can see what I did there. I didn't climb as much as I did at the top, so I wanted it to be minimal and then I'll go back up to the top again. building that texture and getting it to a point where I like how it looks now I was going to leave it with the gray but I wanted to add almost a brown color to it and again I started with that sponge and I didn't like it.

So I'm trying to erase what I just did there and then I go in with the same brush that still has a little bit of gray in there and I take my old Waverly wax and I'm just doing the same thing. technique and I simply build the texture, increasing the color until I get it the way I like. I thought about showing the bottom, but I did the same thing on the bottom and you guys love this for two or three bucks. I just made something that inspired me and cost forty dollars and I love it, I love how our second DIY turned out.

I'm taking three of these dollar tree houses and you guys, I know I need a heat gun, but I honestly don't think about it. Until I'm peeling off the stickers, I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I need that and I know I can use a blow dryer." of hair, but God, that's too much effort. I have to look for one, so once I removed the stickers as much as I could." Could I sand them down and I'll give two of these houses a coat of Waverly white chalk paint and then tell you what I do with the other one.

I made the biggest one and then I made the longest and thinnest one in white now. For this one, we're going to start with some black apple barrel paint and give this house a good coat. Make sure you cover the sides and edges so everything looks even and nice. If you don't get full coverage on the sides because I still wanted that rustic little

farmhouse

look, but for the front I wanted a nice coat of black and then I poured a little bit of black paint on this plate and then adding a little bit more baking soda, so again, you just want to get a thick, thick consistency, and this is my first time doing it, so I don't even know if I did it right, but I was just looking for a thick kind. thick paint, if that makes sense, then I took my brush and started applying that paint to the front of the house once the first coat was dry, then I wanted to add the layer of baking soda on top and you guys, this turned out like this.

Great, I can't wait to show you this. I show them a close-up before showing them the finished product and I love it. I'll definitely work with paint and baking soda a little more and then set it aside to dry and then go back to the first two houses and sand the edges, getting some of that wood to come out and make it look a little rustic, then print our last name on my cricut, I just measured The house is like it's my Cricut measuring sheet again, I'm still working on the lingo and then I put it on a transfer tape and then I added this to the house.

Guys, I don't know if it's the transfer tape or what I'm doing. wrong but I really struggled with this um and then I established that 2017 was when my husband and I got married so I added that in a different source and then I pulled it out once they were on i um because I had trouble with this mod I went through the letters just to make sure they weren't going to go anywhere and then I just sanded them lightly so they weren't such harsh words, um and then I ended up dry brushing them just a little bit. um to add a little more um you know, a rustic kind of distressed vibe now for the other one we painted uh white, I printed five on my cricut because I have three kids and my husband and I that equals five, didn't you know You're going to learn. math today, right, I'm just kidding okay, so I added that in there and you guys, if you don't have a cricut, I was without a cricut for a long time, there are plenty of other options.

The tree has numbers on it, uh, it has letters on it, so you could definitely do this without using a cricut again. I just sanded those five and look, here's the texture of that house. I'm obsessed and this is how all three turned out. I love them. so let me know which one is your favorite, moving on to our third DIY, why am I singing so much? I don't know, okay, I just bought this, I bought it a while ago, but Dollar Tree has these little square things that you guys have seen. I use them and start by giving them a good coat of Waverly white chalk paint and making sure I cover the center as much as possible because there were words and things there and then I also go to the sides once it was dry.

Just start sanding the edges of the face of the sign, not too much because again there were words underneath and you don't want them coming off, but just leave it until I have it the way I liked it and once again. I printed something on my cricut and I had trouble with this too because oh my gosh I'm just learning but I wanted to use this as a template so I removed all the letters and then put it on the front. of the sign and then I just make sure it's straight and if it's not straight it's too late, but I had a little bit more of that paint left from the gray and I thought it would be really nice to use, so I'm grabbing a sponge, thanks a lot to everyone for that advice, if you see me do something and think or know that there is a better way to do it, tell me because I am always looking to learn new things, so this template is the Write the smaller parts and like the p and the e, those They didn't transfer, so I'm going to go back and put them on as best I can and then again I take that sponge and I'm just rubbing it. the letters and then I end up going in and adding a little bit of that black because it was still on the plate and um yeah, then I remove the vinyl and then I go in and remove the letters um and everything that was stuck on and the ones that I had to like I put back to add in there because they didn't transfer well so yeah that's pretty self explanatory and then I just dry brushed them with the same brush that I used to distress the bottle with. and then I sanded it if I felt like it was too hard and I think this is a very accurate saying, you know, about what's going on in the world and then what's going on in my house, okay, so I thought this was so beautiful.

I saw this saying somewhere and I thought I definitely want to recreate that, but then I just go in and go around the sides to make sure everything looks smooth and everything flows together and again, you guys can do this however you want. I want you to know that I always say that, so I felt like something was missing so I wanted to add a bow and I'm taking this burlap ribbon, this type of

farmhouse

ribbon, these are all from Dollar Tree and then this blue ribbon that I thought It was very pretty, I found this the other day and I love it.

And then, of course, you know I'm adding a little bit of raffia to my display and I weave them together, I keep it pretty tight and then I take some jute and I fasten it. arch so it all comes together and then I just hot glued it on, cornered it a little bit naughty on the side of this sign and then if you guys are new here, I love the dollar tree buttons so I chose this type navy blue. one that went with that um, I don't know, vintage type of ribbon and I stuck it in the middle to hold it all together, fluffed my raffia, split it and that's it.

I love how it turned out. I think it's so cute. and my favorite DIY of the day, you will need one of these long dollar tree signs, it doesn't have to be a Valentine's Day one, but if it has 3D

decor

ations on it, make sure you take it down because you can use it. at a later time and then I start by removing the hanger on the back and the staples, then I'm taking some of these dollar tree wood boards. Now I had two, two bags of these and I ended up taking a few from each bag.

I'm really bad about it, if I can't find something I just open a new one so I definitely have to upgrade it but I ended up using seven of these and I'm not sure how many come in one so I would definitely buy two. especially if you can find them because I love them, but I start placing them and spacing them out as much as I want and you guessed it, next we're going to start hot gluing them so I space them out. I just eyeballed them, but I ended up taking my Cricut spatula and placing it between them to figure out how I wanted how far apart the spacing should be.

That way, they were a little bit even, but I'm like I kicked myself a little bit because I don't know the spacing didn't work, but it ends up looking good anyway, so I would recommend maybe using half a ruler. I don't know, maybe just something a little thicker than a cricut spatula, then I take some white Waverly chalk paint and go over this whole sign, focusing mostly on the boards, but still going between them, just dry brushing them, almost to make it look a little worn. behind the wooden boards, once it was dry I just took my brush and went over and messed up the sign.

I'm so sorry this is out of frame. The sign is a little big, it's too big for the camera. but you guys have seen me distressed a million times, I just take it on the edges and then just dry brush in the middle and then next I'm taking these dollar tree signs, these I got back like Christmas, but I know they sell clips like this, but anyway you see it's a screwdriver, but it's a flathead. I had a Phillips head and it's gone. My kids took it, but I just removed the clips from those frames and then.

I laid them out, skipped one, put one in, skipped another, put another in and then hot glued them to the side and then took some lamb's ear. I bought these at Walmart for 97 cents, not sure if I have any right now, I love them, I bought them last year and I have them in my stash so anyway I just grab them, trim them like the long stem and then grab a little jute and I create them almost like a loot. and we just tie it and then we trim the jute so it doesn't hang down and then we're going to create a bow to put it in the middle of this so I'm just taking some dollar tree burlap ribbon and Again sorry I'm out of the frame.

I tried to keep the sign in the frame and then the bow was out of the frame, but I'm a pigeon saying to the burlap ribbon, guys, if you're new here, I like doing these displays. If you've been here a while, you know the drill, you know how I do it, I just take a bunch of tape that I like, I put it in an x ​​formation and then I tighten it and make sure that when you tighten it you leave some tails. on the jute because we're going to take those tails and we're going to wrap them around that booty and attach them both and then we're just going to hot glue this booty on top.

Now I just used hot glue if you guys are making this to sell I would definitely recommend using a dollar tree super glue or something a little stronger but this swag isn't heavy so I didn't think it would be a problem and then I just stuck that on the top board and then I adjust the leaves so they are how I want them to be and then we are also going to add a hanger on the back of this now I don't wantlet the jute show through so I went down a little bit more and used super glue on the popsicle stick just to give it a firmer hold and you guys how cute is this I love it even Be cute if you put strong magnets on the back and you put them on the side of your refrigerator.

I'm obsessed with this, so let me know what you think below. Why will you need another long dollar tree sign? it should be called the dollar tree video with the long sign, but anyway, you're going to start by removing that burlap heart and then for the first time, I had luck removing this paper, no water, no heat gun. I know it's crazy, but it worked and So I started by removing all that paper from this sign, gave it a good position, and then gave it a good coat of Waverly white chalk paint. Next, I'm grabbing these little terra cotta pots from Dollar Tree and yes, one is broken.

I got really mad when I got home because I bought these for this DIY and we make it work so anyway I'm taking some of these popsicle sticks and measuring them all the way to the back because I want them to have a flat surface and something to stick to to that, so I start by measuring them and then cutting out the popsicle sticks and then hot glue them to the terracotta pots. Now guys, I used super glue and hot glue just because I wanted it to have a really good hold, I did. I don't want these pots to go anywhere.

Next, I'll take some of these dollar trees. Don't know. I don't know, facial fillers, half marbles whatever you want to call them. I actually saw this from my friend on Hi Everyone. DIY, I'll leave the link to his channel in my description box. She's new to YouTube and I love her stuff. I saw her do this and wanted to try. I think she replaces the farm beads, they are almost a little thicker. but they end up looking really cute, so I started by hot gluing them and spacing them out looking at them. I didn't measure them, but I just glued them around the edge of these pots.

Now I think it's smart, not difficult, I probably should have painted these. pots before gluing these things because I felt like it was too hard to get in there to make it look like the whole pot was covered, so learn from me. I would paint your pots first, that's what I think would be easiest, but I'll get started. Going on some white Wavelet chalk paint trying to cover the whole pot, I almost still like a little bit of it, like it looks terracotta, but I try to give it a good coat and once they were dry, I'll take my brush chippy and some vintage Waverly wax and I'm wearing them out too.

I go through this bad boy focusing mainly on the fillings of the half marble bowls, um and then just the raised edges of the pot and I do that to all three. Did they forget about this long sign? No, I didn't do it right, so next we'll grab our chippy brush and start distressing. The longest sign and I started with you, sometimes I ask you: do you even know? how to talk savannah, I swear, I know how to talk, I just feel under pressure when I try to explain what I'm doing anyway, I'm just grabbing my chippy brush and some vintage Waverly wax and distressing the sign I put down. where the turn of the ship was to define that a little bit more on the edges and then on the entire sign, then I took the pots and placed them and spaced them how I wanted to make sure the edge of these fell. just below the first overlap mark and then I'm taking a little bit of dollar tree super glue and then also a little bit of hot glue so if you're new to crafting this is the hot glue that acts as a quick hold and then the super glue acts as a permanent hold, so I do that with all three and then I hot glue them to this side.

Now this part has nothing to do with the finished product because I changed my mind, but I wanted to leave it here to show you that there are some. Other things you can do: I put Spanish moss in there, but I opted out and ended up putting this greenery in and I have this in my bathroom on the bottom shelf of the block and I think it's so cute it's definitely like a bohemian style. from boho farmhouse vibe will go, but let me know what you think, moving on to our last DIY, now you couldn't use this because I end up changing my mind.

You are surprised by this video, in fact I made another project for this video. I absolutely hated it, I killed it, so I didn't add it and this one I liked where it was going and I just don't know, I felt like it needed something more so I ended up changing my mind, but it ends up looking really good. cute so I started by grabbing this picture frame and then I'm grabbing this wall tile from Dollar Tree. I love this, it's blue. I love the blue, but I'm taking the back of that photo frame, so this is the only thing you can do.

You would need it, you wouldn't have to use this, but I would recommend having a foam board or something like that for the finished product anyway, so I place this here, trace the size, cut this wall tile and then hot glue it to how it looks. I would call this the back of the picture frame that has the hooks and stuff. I'm hot gluing it to that and that's why I say if you didn't, if you opted out of the picture frame entirely because I don't end up using it, you would need a foam board or something and you would have to add a hanger to it. , so I just hot glued this on there and then I had to go around and trim off the excess edges that didn't work, you know, and then I took a dry brush and some white Waverly chalk paint.

I love this blue, but I definitely wanted to tone it down a bit, so I decided to dry brush it over it and then put this back into the frame. This is not the result, so you can skip it, but you have to watch it to see what I do next. Anyway, I'm grabbing another one of these terracotta pots and I loved it. contrast between the terra cotta and the blue I thought it was very I don't know California adobe, so to speak, but I wanted to mess it up a little, so I took my dry brush and just dry applied some Waverly white chalk paint all around from the pot and then we'll do what we did in the second DIY: we'll take a popsicle stick and put it on the back to act as a base, then I went in with my chibi brush in a vintage waverly style. wax and just dry brush as well to give it a little more contrast and then I'm taking a little bit of super glue again for the long hold and then a little bit of hot glue for the short hold and I'm putting that kind of on the bottom of this DIY jeez okay so yeah I just stuck that right there this is where I change my mind so remember I did a couple DIYs with that sign it was the Valentine's day sign that had wood on the I made a truck outside, I also made the carrot sign with one of them, but I took the wood off of one of them because it was exactly the same size as this photo frame.

Addie is just dressing it up for me, but I'm having some. distressing white Waverly chalk paint over those wood pieces, um just to give them a little bit of a washed, almost washed look, and then I hot glue them around this sign and then I definitely think the wood looks better than the gold that I felt. the gold ruined the other colors, but then I just added some lamb's ear to this pot and I think it turned out super cute again, it gives me almost like California vibes, um, I don't even know Barcelona vibes, Italy, but anyway, You can style this anyway, you could put it as a built-in shelf or hang it.

I think it's really cute, so let me know what you think below which was your favorite first twist. I'll take this cutting board. I bought this for a dollar 98, let's round it up to two dollars, so I spent two dollars on this and started by removing the jukebox cord that is used to hang it. I felt like the jute made it look really cheap. I'll see what we do to replace that, but then I sanded this off camera because I just didn't want this sand left on my mat and then I started by giving it a good coat of Waverly chalk white paint.

I ended up going over this twice just to cover those flowers and make sure they don't show, I guess the person who had this before used a pencil so you could still see it and then once it was dry I usually don't worry about it. the back, but since this is going to sit in my kitchen, I wanted to make sure the back was finished, so I also gave it a coat of Waverly white chalk paint and then I'm going to take my dollar tree chip. brush and some old Waverly wax and I'm just taking it and going to the edges.

I'll let you guys watch this so you can see how I make the worn out things that someone asked me to make. I let the base coat dry before I start. distressing, yes I do, but I don't let the distressing dry before reapplying the base coat, so this is what I do: I just check for distress and then reapply that base coat to try to blend it out. all in and then I repeat the same step on the back like I said because this is going to be in my kitchen and I wanted to finish the back of this for once, then I'm going to take some of this faux or faux dollar tree ribbon. leather I finally found some of these guys, I just found the lightest type but this is the first time I've used it and I have to say I'm obsessed but I cut a piece off and then I'm cutting a very thin strip of this. um this is going to act as the hanger, but I didn't know how much time was left, I just made a rough estimate and then once I got it, um, since I want it as thin as I wanted it, I'm going to put it through the hole. and tie a knot at the top, not the bottom, at the top to create a hanger.

I then printed this on my cricut. I actually bought it from Emily Long, she has her own etsy store and she gave me a discount code for you. Guys, I'm going to leave that in the description box, a link to her etsy shop and then the discount code below, but she has tons of cute little sayings in there, um, so if you don't have a cricut, that's a option too, but I thought this was so cute that it says I will love you until the cows come home. I choose this and then I say: when do the cows come home?

I hope they never come home, so I think it's so cute that she does. I have tons of other cute farmhouses and cute little sayings there, so go check out her etsy store again. I'm going to leave the link to that in my description box, so I started by putting it on the transfer tape and playing. with it I didn't know if I wanted this in the middle and then I decided to go on the bottom so I glued it down pushed it down and then I took out the transfer tape and then I took the same brush that I used. with Waverly white chalk paint and just dry brushing over the letters just to wear them down a little and not make them so bold, so I felt like it still needed something more.

I felt like it was too simple on the top, so I'm grabbing one of these dollar tree hearts, this one is like red sparkles on the front. Obviously I didn't want that, but I wanted one a little bigger than the normal wooden ones, so I stained the back of this one and then distressed it with that white wave, really chalk paint and then hot glued it on top of the text and that's it guys I love this so you have to let me know what you think of this flip and hopefully the cows never come home so our next flip is like this wall organizer.

I saw this and automatically knew what I wanted to do with it. It had something written on the front that was engraved and it was 3.98 so let's round up to four so now we're at six dollars so I started by removing the little hooks on the bottom just because I'm not going to use this for bills like Mel and um and keys so I wanted to remove them and then I started by taking some putty and rubbing it on the front where Those engraved words were because I didn't want them to be there anymore and then once the putty was dry I put it off camera again because it was like snow when I sanded it, so I didn't want it to get dirty. my desk on my mat and then once I sand it I'm going to apply some white Waverley chalk paint and give it a good coat so I have to tell you this was a little hard to figure out. in the nooks and crannies so it took a while but I definitely think it was worth it so I'll just show you parts of the painting process and once I've covered most of it I'll start with my vintage Waverly wax and my chippy brush and I start by wearing down the front sides of these.

Now when I say I have a good coating, I really wasn't worried about some of that wood showing because we're going to go back and wear it down. To start, I'm just going to use Beverly's old wax, you know, and then I reapply my base coat, rubbing it in, blending it and then repeating the same step for the top one and then I forgot about this side, so I'm going to go over that again with some white Waverly chalk paint and make sure to cover that now as well. I wasn't originally going to do this. I was just going to do the old wax, but decided to grab my chippy brush.doing.

I've done shiplap before. Why did I try? To make it different, I have no idea, but I tried to use the color of the elephant and just went down and made lines. It ended up looking horrible, so I repainted it and set it aside to dry. Then I'll take these, look how pretty they are. Guys, I usually don't like dollar trees too much, I like floral ones too much, I mean every once in a while they have some pretty ones, but I loved these ones, I felt like they look like you pull over on the side of the road and pick to your girls. flowers, this is what they would look like, so I'm putting them all together and then I take some jute and I start by tying a knot and then I slowly wrap them together almost like a bouquet that way, they just stay together and don't So don't move, once this sign recovers from the hacking job I did to it, I'm going to take my chip brush and some old Waverly wax, distress it and then reapply the white Waverly chalk paint and just tone it down and come up with a distressing thing that I like, so I'm taking this dollar tree burlap ribbon and I'm putting it underneath and I'm going to put the flowers in the middle to see how much of this ribbon I'm going to need.

I thought, oh yeah. I'm going to make this, measure it and then I'm going to end up cutting it and guessing how much I need, so, yeah, you're going to cut that and then you're going to tie it in a knot and then I go to the bottom and bind the edges together just to give it a closer look. to the finish and I do it on both sides and then I go in with the same brush that I used to do the base coat, the Waverly white chalk paint and then I just Dry brush the tape Dry brush the leaves Dry brush everything um and just to give it a more rustic farmhouse feel, so I was going to leave it like that, but I wanted to add a traditional bow, so I grabbed a little more of that hot burlap ribbon.

I glued it into a little tube shape and then I took some jute and cinched the middle, wrapped it a couple of times, you know, just to make the middle look like it was made that way and then I hot glued it to the center. of the little knot like the tails and then I go in and dry brush them too and then I just hot glue the back where I wrapped that bouquet with the jute just to make sure it's not going anywhere and the flowers were going to stay stand still and then I'll add a hanger to the back.

I'm just going to take a little bit more jute and put it in there, reinforcing it with popsicle sticks just to make sure that hanger doesn't fall off and um. And then yeah, that's it, I love how it turned out. I think it's really pretty for spring, so again let me know which one is your favorite for this one. You're going to need one of these long dollar tree signs, it doesn't have to be. This is just the one I had so if you have this one I started by removing that heart and sanding it because I want to use the front of this one, usually when I work with these I just use the back but I wanted to use the front because it has that boat look and then I started by giving it a coat of Waverly chalk paint, white Waverly chalk paint and I think I ended up having to do three because I don't want any of those words to come out so it took a couple of coats.

While it was drying, I grabbed this glass jar from the dollar tree and ended up using that chain. I covered it with gray first, but I absolutely hated it. so I go back and do something different than that in a second and then once this part was dry, I just take my distressing brush and I'm just going over and again I'm handing this off with the distressing first and then. going over it again with the brush I used to make the white coat and then so on until I got it the way I liked it. I didn't want to sand too much.

I usually like to sand my distressing. but I didn't want any of those words to show up, so I sanded it lightly, but I wouldn't recommend making it heavy and I just sanded it a little bit again, not too hard, because you don't want those words. to pass, then I'll take this dollar tree hanger. I found this like in the home section, this one just says "bless this farm" and I'm taping it about a half inch down from the top and then I'll take it. I found these at Dollar Tree, they have like a star and then they have this one with a chain and I'm trying to make sure my mason jar hangs as low as I want, then I went back in and I just painted this white and distressed it all together because I kind of put the chain on it and then I hung it up and I stuck some flowers on there and you guys, this is my absolute favorite.

I think this is my favorite dollar tree. diy i have done yet, ok for the next diy, i found this chandelier at a thrift store for 2.98 and i loved it, it's really thick and heavy so i started by taking some of this wavy moss color and giving it a nice layer around everything um and there's really not much to this. I just wanted to make sure I covered it as best as possible because I'm going to go back and wear it down, but I wanted this all to have an even coating and I guess. Because this is like such a light color but still, it definitely needed more than one coat, then once it was dry I took my brush and some white Waverly chalk paint and just dry brushed it. everything and you want to do this before you sand it because, you like it, you want everything to flow together, you don't want to put up with it and have some pieces showing and then go over again with the white, at least that's how I do it again, you can do the whatever works for you, but making sure it's harder in the corners and where there are beveled areas, so I just do it like a distressing that I like and, yeah, then I go. to go in with my pinky sander and I'm just sanding the edges, meaning the parts that are kind of raised, so some of that wood shows through and honestly, I'm just going where I think there should be something, there really isn't rhyme. or the reason for it and then once I had enough, um, how I liked it, this is how it turned out and I think it's so cute that I don't even know if I want to put a candle in it, I could just leave it like that. a random piece for

decor

ation idk let me know what you think so since some of you liked the last video i made with the valentine exo with this little box i wanted to make something else that you could use every day for the daily decor, so I'm going to grab another one of these boxes, but this time I'm going to give it a coat of Waverly White chalk paint and then I'm going to make sure to do the sides too like I didn't.

This is in the last video, but I wanted to make it a little different and match your everyday decor, so again you don't have to paint it. You can avoid this step or you can paint it whatever color you want once. that was dry, I'm just taking my chippy brush and I'm just going around the edges and um taking the sides and just dressing it up as nice as I like it um, I wanted to like it on this, there are screws on this sign where it holds that little front piece together and I made sure that they were dressed a little bit more than you know compared to the box and then I go over that again with the same brush that I used to paint this box until I got It's pretty much how I wanted it and then I take it.

You can see the scrapbook paper right there. I don't show myself cutting it out, but I measure it and then cut a small square and slide it down into the small area. where you can, you know, put something and then I'm just going to go in with my little sander and I'm just emphasizing the front, the sides, the corners, um, getting it the way I like it and making this look more rustic and not I don't know the farm and then you can make any scrapbook paper you want here. I just thought this one was really cute and then I took one of these little wooden hearts and I dyed it or I probably had already dyed it and then I'm gluing that in the middle this is super simple but I also feel like it's really cute just to glue it on somewhere or just as additional decoration.

Okay, for this last DIY, I'm going to grab one of these wooden dollar tree signs and this just happens. For it to be St. Patrick's Day, I'm trying to tear off the paper. I don't know why I always try to do this, so I'm sorry this part is out of frame, but all I'm doing is trying to tear the paper off. like a crazy person, so I sanded it and took it off the table because there was shine on this and I didn't want shine everywhere. Has anyone noticed how, like at the beginning of my videos, it's a clean and tidy space? and then towards the end of my videos there's stuff everywhere oh my gosh I'm so messy when I make them guys I need to get more organized.

Okay, I just started. I couldn't remove all that paper, so I stayed standing. That's as flat as I could get it, but it's going to be the bottom anyway, so I started by giving it a coat and this is going to need a couple. I'm using that wavy moss color and I love this color, I think it's very pretty. someone asked me in my last few videos why I did everything in black or white or so I tried to go a little bit adventurous this time and I love that color so I don't know where the footage wanted this but These are the little black gold pots that has Dollar Tree right now and all I did was glue two of them together and now I'm coating them with Waverly white chalk paint, letting them dry, applying another coat and alternating between those two. items as they dry once they were dry on all the sides and the front then I go to the back because the back is going to be on the top of our thing that's what we're going to show and once These were dry.

I'm taking my chippy brush and then the same white Waverly chalk paint that I used to paint them and I'm distressing these. These also came with handles so I ripped them off again, not sure where that was but. We're just going to roll with it, so yeah, I'm just going through this kind of nerve-racking stuff, you know, like in the middle and where it bevels the most, again, you know I always like to go heavy. -hand with the angsty and then tone it down and then I'm just emphasizing the um sign and I just keep going you know again heavy hand everything in this house is angsty including the mother oh my god I'm just kidding angsty yeah I'm always stressed so I just do it heavy handed and then I go back over the color I use and that's usually my technique with anything unless it's wood I like to sand my distress with wood and then I'm going to glue this on hot on the bottom and then you know, hold it there for a second, but be careful because obviously those things are plastic and when you push down you don't want to push too hard. because I think they will melt I'm pretty sure I don't know but be careful so I'm just taking this brush and I like to give hints like cleaning up the glue and that's it I think this is super cute and just one piece simple that you can design with anything put a can in there some farmhouse beads and I love how it turned out so for this DIY I'm grabbing this little wooden stand that I bought from Target the Little Bullseye and it was three dollars.

And I just start by removing the label because I don't feel like you should leave the label on anything and then I just start by taking Waverly white chalk paint and just giving it a good coat. I didn't have to do anything else. of one because this was a blank canvas and I still wanted some of that wood to show through, so I printed this saying on my cricut and I'm not going to tell you guys what it will say, you have to wait until the end. because I just saw this and I absolutely fell in love with it because I couldn't relate even more so I just printed it guys I'm still trying to learn how to solder things so I wanted this all to be. one piece and as the saying goes one up one down, you know, one after the other, so I didn't have to do them individually, but I couldn't figure it out, so this is what we're working with and whoever told me.

First take my transfer tape and stick it on like my clothes or my t-shirt, oh genius, did you see how easy that came out? I'm learning a lot and bought crooked transfer tape or cricut just to try it but it ended up working out fine. So next I take my next little piece of this thing and do the same thing, put the transfer tape on it and stick it to the side and again it comes off beautifully. I actually use the same piece of transfer tape I used. use it for the first one and then the same.

I'm taking the next line and I'm using my transfer tape um and you know, putting that in there um again if you have any tips on how to get like I'm doing a saying and I want to go in and then put something underneath. I tried soldering all of this and it just didn't work. I googled it and it said you have to have ways to solder things. I don't know if that's true, so um. Again, this transfer tape trick worked awesome, so if you're having trouble with transfer tape, one of my subscribers said to like sticking it to something like his t-shirt, and that worked wonders for me, I'm just trying to align them as best I can and then do the next one.

I struggled, no, I wouldn't even say I struggled, like there were some little mistakes, but I just rubbed them in and it came out perfectly, so I'm going to do that. much more often and then I just took these twolittle green twigs I had in my little scrap area and I'm making a little haul. Now the location of this, if you can see at the top, I had trouble with this at first, I was trying it. To figure out how I wanted the greenery to be because I still wanted you to be able to see the words because the words are the most important part of the sign.

I'm going to put this by the door of my house so that when everyone comes in they will know. What's happening? So I just glued the swag to the top of the sign and had to play with it to get it the way I wanted it and then glued the leaves down to make sure they didn't cover up. and then I added these two little jupos and you guys I love this it's so simple but I feel like it's so cute and if you have kids I'm sure you can identify the DIY or the makeover this is like a makeover.

I received this big lot 10 sign, it was probably at most 10, maybe 15 and I've had it for a while and the colors just don't go with my house anymore so it's just been sitting in my guest house. room and I wanted to give it a makeover so I started by giving it a good coat of Waverly chalk paint and then I go in with my chippy brush once it's dry and I start messing it up now guys I bought a tile from Dollar Tree those little ones tiles are like a blue one and it looks like this is up and I can't find it, it's somewhere in this house or in my craft room, but it would be really nice glued on maybe like a piece of wood, um, and then painted like this, Sammy from Unicorn Dust Designs did a great job.

Something cool with stick tiles, so if you're looking for something like this, there's definitely a way to do it with dollar tree elements, but for 15 bucks you can't, I mean at most 15 bucks you can't beat this change of image. I love how this turned out, so once I had enough distress there, I grabbed my sander and started standing on the raised edges to get that metal out. I hate being in the middle because I felt like I put in too much. um, like old wax, which is fine. I went over it with a little more white paint and then sanded it again and this is where I go back with a little more of that Waverly chalk white paint to get a similar tone. in some of those areas where I went a little crazy with the angsty um, but I'm going to show you the inspiration for this.

I saw a picture on pinterest and I thought oh my gosh I can redo that sign so here's the picture I saw and then I liked it and I clicked on it to see how much it was and you guys didn't thank you so I remember that I had this sign up since we moved and I thought about it. It would be really nice to just, you know, take inspiration from that piece and make it my own, so I feel like things like this are really easy to save on, even if you don't want to buy them new, but I love how it turned out.

This is the final product. I think it's very nice and detailed, so let me know what you think. Moving on to our next piece of decor, you're going to need one of these dollar tree home signs. This is part of. their Valentine's collection, I don't know, let's see what collection, um, but I'm starting to go over the house with Waverly white chalk paint again, this wood is already super pretty, so I didn't mind some of that showing through. and then I took a smaller brush to get the sides and the inside of the letters and yeah, once I had it all covered how I liked it, I'm taking my little chippy brush and I'm just distressing it, um, I think my light is haunted today in this video because it keeps changing color, but I just distress it and then I just apply it with a dry brush with the same white chalk paint that I used and go on a distressing shade that I like and then I take some scrap. vegetation now I think you know, you know I keep it as a vegetation scrap box, but you could use anything, any vegetation that you had, you could even use um, like if you wanted to do this more for spring, you could use like some yellow flowers, but I'm just taking a little bit of hot glue and I'm going around the o and putting the greenery in a formal shape and then once I had the o shape with the greenery, I'm just taking a little bit of this small piece There's also greenery, I think this is a 97 cent selection from Walmart that I just took a little bit off and I'm just taking the leaves and trying to make the oh a little bit fuller and make it fit and look. nice and then I don't even know why I did this, but I liked it.

I just took the dry brush and just went over the crown a little bit, I guess the o or the crown, oh, um, and I love it. how this turned out, I think it is very cute and can definitely be used all year round, so for our next DIY, I will take this little house. I used this before in a previous video, but this one is different, obviously, and I start. opening it up and removing the blocks and putting them aside and then separating the house from the block itself. Then I sanded the back so there weren't any rough edges, but we're not going to use that side, so it doesn't really matter unless you want to cover it and finish it, which is completely fine, but I'm tracing it onto scrapbook paper .

I love this black and white scrapbooking paper, um, and then I used too much mod podge. but um, I modified it and then I put the scrapbook paper over that and then I modified it again and I set it aside to dry, then I'm going to take the farmers market calendar and I'm going to cut out that honey part, so I started by taking a lighter and I'm just trying to burn the edges because I want this to look really old and worn out, just be careful if you're using a thumb lighter because I got burned again and if you don't.

I know many of you asked me in my last video what happened to my arm. I burned it with a heater so I just need to stay away from the fire but anyway, I'm just going around the edges and then trying to remove that because it will turn to ash if that makes sense and just trying to remove them and then I cut it off a little smaller and I kept burning the edges until I got it where I wanted and then mod placed that in the house, okay guys I just heard my last voiceover and you can hear my little baby snoring, listen so sweet, okay let's move on so once it was dry I took some of my old Waverly wax and now I'm dry.

Brushing everything like you're not afraid I wanted to go over everything to give it an older rustic look and then I sand the edges so the house is the shape it should be and then I also sanded the front a little bit and took the calendar off a little bit and I thought that looks really cute so I'm going to hot glue the little square back on and then I wanted to distress that too so I just took my sand, my sand, my really waxed old wave and I just went over that and then I I sanded and then put the little blocks back in and that's it, and I think this is really cute for spring. or even all year round on a three-tier tray.

I love how this turned out, moving on to our last and most troublesome DIY of the day. I'm taking this little dollar tree canvas wood sign and I'm giving the whole thing a coat of uh. the waverly the waverly white uh chalk paint and then I had to do it you know sometimes I just do one coat but for this one I had to do two because the middle one where it's at home was coming out so I would recommend that too once . that was dry, I'm going in with my little chippy brush and I'm just agonizing over this and again, no rhyme or reason, I'm just playing with it until I get it the way I like it, okay, this is my second round, OK? you know I just got a cricket and I'm trying to figure everything out and I don't know if it was because I like the texture of this thing, but I tried to just print the words at home and put them up. were there and it didn't work out so sometimes things happen for a reason and I love how it turned out a little bit more, but I removed the actual letters and left them almost like a stencil and transferred them to the um. firm and then up to the e that you just saw I just stuck it there and then I'm taking some black apple barrel paint and I'm going over these letters now I didn't want them to be so hard so I took like my t-shirt I guess , waste, which I use everything for and I cleaned them a little bit, um and then I went back to check them and then I cleaned them again and then when I took it off, there was a little bit of bleeding, but I honestly liked the way it looked, I felt which seemed almost like they did it on purpose so I was fine with that so I feel like you know all that fighting was for a reason so then I'm just sanding the letters once they're dry making sure that are dry.

And you know, make them look like this sign is a little more worn out. And it was done this way. Now I debated. I almost made purple flowers. for spring, but I loved how this sign turned out and I wanted to get it to a place where I could use it year-round, so I took some greenery and I'm forming another o and hot gluing them together and then just like last time. I just took a little more of that little greenery from Walmart and just filled in the places that weren't as full or that I felt needed a little more shape or fullness and then once I had everything I wanted, I just started standing up. down on the raised part of this little sign because that was the darkest part before and I liked how some of those darker things came out and I love this sign I will definitely have it in my house all year round and if you guys did it Up the end of this video you guys are absolutely amazing so leave me a heart emoji and as always thank you all for watching and I'll see you next time.
