LOOK at these EASY Dollar Tree DIY's

Well, hello, how are you today? Fancy doing some Christmas DIY? Come on, let's get started. What do I have to do for you today? Well, today I'm bringing you some fun holiday DIYs that really pack a punch. a punch that I think you'll love and want to add to your Christmas decor this year, so I'll put down my gabbin, let's jump into it and do some Christmas DIY on a budget because that's what we do here. Learn who the KB Creations Artisan of the Day is. You'll want to stay until the end of the video to see if it's his creation that's featured in today's video for this first DIY.

Six of these light ornaments are what I. I will be using these are probably my favorite plastic ornaments from Dollar Tree. I have been known to create my own colors, my own rustic colors, these colors have just a little bit of brown just to mute that green in the red. Some of the green and red I'm using is Waverly's Fern and Cribson, which is the touch of the Apple barrels. Sprinkle chocolate now to paint these bulbs. Yes I am using a sponge buffer because it gives it texture and you are not going to get the brush strokes, if you use a brush on these it will take several coats to get the coverage you want and it kind of disguises and hides the brush strokes that appear when you paint them if you just grab a sponge from Dollar Tree.

Dabbers, you'll get three in a pack, you'll probably get full coverage with one or two coats, depending on what paint you're using, so I'm going to give three of the bulbs a good coat of my rustic green, my rustic. Christmas green, that is, and three of them in that rustic foreign red. Birch wood stems at Dollar Tree. They just started selling them again. You're going to want to buy some because they are useful for many DIY projects, but for this one. We are going to need a power tool. This is a hand drilled Black and Decker that I bought at Walmart.

It's USB. I guess it's loaded. You're going to spend less than $20 on it and it's a useful tool to have in your trade. Hiding place. I'll use a drill bit for this, any size will do, that will give you a size big enough to get some thread through, so ask me what size this is. I couldn't tell you, but you'll get the job done, I'm going to drill a hole in each of these stems right in the center,

look

like this, and I'm going to do that on about 20 of the stems. I love that Dollar Tree has fat quarters, now this Buffalo Check is It's going to work perfect for this rustic Christmas DIY I'm making.

Once I open it I fold it in half, this will make it easier to cut to get straighter lines. There's really no need for perfection when I'm going to cut this. I'm going to cut strips about an inch and a half wide, just using the fabric pattern as a guide, and since these strips are on the longer side, I'm going to spread them out. and I'm also going to cut them in half. These are another one of those items that Dollar Tree started selling that I'm obsessed with and love to use in DIY. I'm going to use a couple of strands of these beads.

I'm going to remove the beads from the thread because it's a very good quality thread and I'm going to use it to make what will be a garland, so I'm going to use the beads that I'm going to add. the wooden stems and I'm going to string everything that we just made onto the fabric, the fun light bulb ornaments and this is going to make a fun rustic foreign Christmas garland. Now, this wouldn't be one of my crafts if I didn't do it somehow. incorporate one of my yarn bows and the perfect place for them is right on each of these light bulb ornaments.

Perfect finishing touch. Let's take a

look

at this rustic Christmas garland, all hung, quick,

easy

, economical and the result is incredible for this DIY. I'll use these wooden shadow boxes. We have two different styles from Michael's in their

dollar

bins. A great place to look for craft supplies because they are a buck, not a buck. 25 on the back of these, they have these sawtooth hangers that I don't need them for this DIY, so I'm going to remove them. I'll save them and put them in my stash because you never know when they'll come in handy for that rainy day DIY when you need a hook.

Sawtooth Hook Sawtooth Hanger Yeah, for this this is kind of a DIY series that I started. I mean in September I maybe did a fall one. This is a fun decor piece to add to your seasonal decor. I'm going to give you these shadows. boxes, a good coat, well, a light coat, not too thick, a light coat of that rustic red that I'm using just this. I diluted it a little because I want it to act like a wood stain. I love the look of wood. grain, but I like to add color. I don't always have some Minwax on hand to make a stain.

The dye takes a while to dry, so a trick is to thin the acrylic paint a little and you will still get it done. painted look, but the wood grain finish will bleed through, so I'm going to give three of these boxes a good coat of that diluted rustic red of mine and three of the boxes will get a light coat of my wash. rustic green I'm also going to incorporate some chipboard letters, these letters are going to be well covered using some of those Brown chocolate chips that I like so much and a Dabber cake.

I tell you that a Dabber cake is the way to go when making it. I realized this about a month ago. I don't know about you, but when you paint something like these letters, you have the sides, you have paint and it can be kind of a job to do. Using a Dabber Sponge really moves the paint job much faster. These chipboard letters are ones I cut out using my Cricut. I wanted to make them in two different sizes. Chipboard letters are very inexpensive, you can get them for about 50 cents. 99 Cents and I would say 99 cents is on the higher end so I recommend you go to your local craft store and you can probably buy the entire alphabet for less than five

dollar

s and you will get several of each letter for those of you who are new to my channel, I mean three or four things.

I'm talking about the personality of the character, adding dimension to a DIY and texture, so for this DIY I wanted to add some dimension in an

easy

way to add dimension to a DIY. so it's to raise the letters that say on this one that I'm going to place in the shadow box by lifting them out of the Box instead of just gluing the letters inside the Box, it makes all the difference in the world. and then the easiest way to elevate the letters is to use some of those wooden beads from Dollar Tree. This comes in a multi-sized pack, yes, in a multi-sized pack, so just stick them on the back of each of the letters and you're done.

I'm going to add yes Dimension to this shadow box, that's what it's for. This is the part where I convert or try to convert non-sewers into sewers. Look what a difference all the personality you add to these shadow boxes makes. I say just add dots, add lines, add wavy lines, be creative and make it your own, but add that finishing touch because I feel like it takes DIY to the next level, so with this one I'm going to the chunkier side with my sewing because this It's a darker, larger DIY and I really want the seams to stand out.

I find thinning the paint is the easiest way to add seams because I guess it goes on smoother. I feel like some snowflake decorations are needed when I started gluing When I put them up I realized that I should probably glue the boxes because of the location of where I want to place the snowflakes. This is one of those DIYs where you can glue the boxes together or you can just keep them individual and as a set. Place them maybe on a mantel or in your home or on a side table and place them at a different angle and it will give it a really fun festive effect because this is going to be on my mantel and I wanted to add a hanger to it, this is something I could even hang it on the wall.

I'm going to go ahead and glue my boxes together and now I'm ready to add more of those snowflakes that I wanted to place where each of the boxes met the meat, yeah, let's get back to this. DIY I wanted to add a bead hanger, but it's going to serve as a decorative hanger so I need it to stay upright, I guess upright over the boxes, so to do that I thought I'd use some of the thickest floral wire from Dollar Tree is that wire we've seen at Dollar Tree for years that comes in those horrible colors, the fluorescent yellow and the green ones, why they don't have a neutral color I don't understand, but it will work and it will work anyway.

The work is done by simply stringing the beads onto this thicker wire, it will then allow my beads to sit over my shadow boxes, adding more of that rustic feel using these, I guess, raw wood beads from Dollar Tree. stick that wire right there in the back and see where it goes, let's take a look at this DIY.
