ate in the new year. I recently went to Dollar Tree and bought some really cool things, so the first thing I found were these cute little wooden boxes that are in the craft section and I bought four. Of those, I'll start by hot-gluing these four boxes together.

I'm going to try to make them as uniform as possible because many of them don't match perfectly once they're glued together. I'm going to stain them with a stain color called special walnut and I like to use a foam brush and I'm going to clean up the stain and then I'm going to take my paper towel to remove any excess stain. Now, on the front of this, I created a printable farmhouse. that will be linked in the description box for you if you want to see it you can print it out on regular printer paper that's what I did and then I also grabbed a pack of these wood plaques that they have at Dollar Tree so I'm going to put the wooden plaque and trace around my farm sign.

Next, I will cut out the farm printable and then adhere my sign to the board using hot glue to distress the edges. I'm going to use a marker and just go around the edges, if you make a mistake that's okay, you can always make a little curved part at the top so it blends in once I have the edges worn down. I'm going to hot glue it on. my container now the fun thing is that you can fill it with whatever you want. I'm going to use some really pretty flowers from Dollar Tree in my container and here's a look at how it turned out when I was shopping at Dollar Tree. through these really cool wreaths, I hadn't seen them before, they were completely new to me, I posted them on my Instagram account and if you're not following me on Instagram you should because every time I go to Dollar Tree I post things that I've found or just different things behind the scenes so make sure you follow me on Instagram so for a

I keep adding until I like the way they look and I always like to use hot glue to attach the pieces. Now to hang this, you can do many things. different options, I'm going to use burlap and then another farmhouse ribbon from Dollar Tree and just hang it on my door and this is a really simple and inexpensive way to create a wreath for next to nothing when you consider how much wreaths typically cost, so this one This next project is probably my favorite one I created in this entire package.

They are now located in the party supplies section and I would always like to choose three groups of three, but they look much better in my opinion, so I will start by putting a layer of painter's tape on the top of each of these containers and I will try to make everyone see each other. the same thing and I have the tape about the same level, then I'm going to paint everything with matte black spray paint. Now this is going to take at least two coats and I also flipped them so they were upside down so I wouldn't spray the inside of my containers once it has a chance to dry.
I'll remove the tape and then you can do a lot of things with this. I'll fill it with some natural stones from Dollar Tree and then put in three. one of my favorite succulents, this is so quick and easy to make and how adorable it looks on my table for our next DIY. You'll need to pick up a cake plate from Dollar Tree and a blue glass vase, and I'm also going to need some toilet bowl cleaner, so with my cake plate I'm going to get two trash cans, I'm going to put the plate for cake in the bottom and then I'll start filling it with toilet bowl cleaner.
Now I'm not going to touch it because there are chemicals in there that can react and you don't want to play with any of that and when you take it out you have to make sure you're wearing gloves and what. What I do is just put it in the bottom of a trash can and let it sit for a couple of days. Some people say you don't need to let it sit that long, but in my case, I just let it sit for a couple of days and forget about the blue glass. I'm going to paint it with at least two coats of flat white spray paint.
Now for my cake plate, after the two days, I'll wear gloves and rinse it. It comes out great, what that toilet bowl cleaner is going to do is remove a lot of the coating, so you're going to have rust, you're going to have kind of that silver that comes off and it's going to look great aged. and worn and give it a nice fresh look, so once you get to this point it's very easy: you'll just turn the cup over, add a little hot glue to the bottom and then place the cake plate. on top of the cup and this makes an amazing tray.
You could put it in your kitchen or your bathroom and I love the way it looks, so you guys know I love creating rope trays, but I thought I'd give you a different option. that's even less expensive than the nautical rope tray, so you want to buy a clear tray from Dollar Tree and then you also want to get one of the mop heads that they sell at Dollar Tree. Next you will take your mop head and I have to remove the black piece on the top so the only thing I found to remove this, scissors didn't work for me so I went back with a wire cutter to cut the top off So once you cut it out, we'll be left with, I would say, 12 to 15 inch strips of white thread and that's what we're going to use to create our tray, so you're going to start in the middle of the tray and add hot glue. and you're going to place a strip in the middle and you're going to start wrapping it in a tight circle adding hot glue as you go.
Now, once you get to the end of that strip, you'll just grab another one. strip and hot glue it and glue it in place so it looks like you have one continuous piece of rope, so do that until you're about a third of the way through, then you'll take that and I. I'll take it outside and spray it with two coats of black spray paint, let it dry completely before moving on to the next step and then you'll come back and finish your tray. Adding the white that you were putting in previously now make sure you do it as tight as possible so that there are no gaps when you get to the end of the tray, you want to make sure you get all the way to the end. all the way to the edge, you don't want to see any clear pans on top, even if you have to do some extra travel, that's better than having little sticky clear parts.
Now for the handles, you want to turn them to the back and You're going to put together maybe four pieces and then I'm going to twist them slightly to cut them to the length that I want for the handles and then I'm going to hot glue them in place and then I'm going to repeat this. for the other side, making sure that I try to make them as uniform as possible. Now you don't have to measure it, just observe and try your best to make them as obvious as possible. Here's a look at how my tray turned out you guys will have to let me know what you think of it, if you like the tray or not so let me know in the comments so I found a lot of cool things in the serving aisle and a of things.
What I found was this really cool serving bowl and I loved that it had a cool texture so I'm going to paint it with two coats of white spray paint so once it's completely dry I'm going to pull out a color called elephant from Waverly and I'm also going to grab one of my big foam brushes. Now I'm going to put a little bit of that paint on the foam brush, not too much because I want it to be light. layer and then I'm just going to lightly brush that elephant paint onto my textured piece. Now I'm trying to do just one top coat to really get that texture out so you can always go back and add more paint, so get started. slightly and then you can always add more.
I think this is a great decorative bowl that you could put as a centerpiece or on your counter so I tend to get a lot of inspiration from Dollar Tree just walking around and seeing what I see and sometimes. When I see something really cool, I think, "Okay, I have to come up with a project with this," so I found this scarf and of course I loved it and when I was writing my notes I realized that scarf looks like the shirt that I'm wearing today, so I must really like that animal print. I wear a lot of animal print.
I know, so I grabbed the scarf and I also grabbed this little Christmas tupperware. Now you don't have to have the same tupperware that they have. several different variations on the dollar

tree

that you can use this was what I found at the time so my idea was to wrap this scarf around this container and make a little book basket but when I started doing that the red was coming out , so if you had a clear container it would work much better, so to solve that problem, what I did was I just took some white paint, I used Waverly paint and I gave this a coat of paint now that it was gone.
I wasn't worried about this being perfect, I was just trying to cover that red so I could wrap the scarf around it, so then I took my scarf, cut off one of the ends and then started hot gluing it to the bottom. The edge was level with the base because I knew that edge was going to show and I just hot glued it around the container making sure the bottom was nice and perfect all the way to the bottom and once I got to the end I'll glue it on hot. instead now with that top I decided to just put it in my bowl with the excess scarf that I'm not going to use.
I'm going to fold it and put it on the bottom and this is a cool little book basket. that you could put on your kids' nightstand or sit anywhere, so I love this time of year when there are all these huge serving platters and I found this really cool one at Dollar Tree. They don't usually have serving platters this big so I had to grab it because I thought it would be the perfect tray for the coffee table so I'm going to spray this again with two coats of white spray paint and then to decorate it , I wanted it to have a worn look.
I'm bringing out something that I haven't used in a while, which is my vintage effects wash that sold out on Amazon. I've probably been hoarding it so I don't waste it, so I grabbed that and a dollar tree brush and I'm now just going to brush it lightly around the edge whenever I'm feeling distressed. I don't really know how it will turn out, so what I like to do is add different layers until I'm happy with the result, so off I go. To brush it around the edge and then I'll take a paper towel and wipe it off so it's not too much.
Then I decided to use a black paint pen from Dollar Tree. These paint pens are a bomb, like they are amazing dollars. tree, these are some of the best paint pens I have ever used. If you see them, buy them. I'm going to slightly go around the edge of my piece. I'm going to add a little bit of brown again until I'm happy with the look. The wonderful thing about distressing is that it's totally a personal preference. You add as much or little as you want and then I'm just going to add some decorative elements, but I think it would be great to use as a coffee table. tray, would also be great as a centerpiece on your kitchen table.
