and

ating

hacks

, but the cool thing is that a lot of the

decor

and

gifts

can really be used year-round or incorporated into year-round gift giving. I said we're starting right now for the last few years Dollar Tree has been carrying these super large heart bowls for Valentine's Day, in my personal opinion this is a really cool gift trick, just take some cardstock, trace your heart and then cut it out. Optional, you can take some of the letters from their sticker signs and spray paint them white that way you will make your heart look like one of the conversation hearts or one of the candy hearts, then Walmart, not Dollar Tree, sells Super long, super large rods for less. of a

dollar

, I'm using the orange color or the 3 8 inch color, it's only 62 cents and I paint that white, then take your stick and use masking tape or some type of masking tape to stick it to your cardstock and then you can fill your heart with you can fill your heart with whatever your heart desires just fill it with gifts.

I'm making these for my kids and this one is from my son who loves the crayola bath paint that they actually sell at Dollar Tree. also, tape it down with regular duct tape, use the clear wrapper from my

dollar

tree

and also tape it around the bottom with regular old duct tape or another brand's duct tape and now we have a great way to upgrade your gift. optional presentation set, come back with some ribbon from Dollar Tree or whatever ribbon you have on hand and add a little bow at the bottom just to give it that extra chic factor and I also made one in pink just by spray painting it with prickly pear of rust. -oleum spray paint for my daughter and that one just says xoxo, super cute fools.

I really love how she turned out. I think a big part of giving a gift is the presentation and this has that wow factor for almost any holiday or season. Dollar Tree has these felt stickers that are great for cutting out basic items and making them look awesome, so I love these brown lidded containers from Dollar Tree, they are airtight and food safe and all you have to do is just put some of your felt stickers. on the containers, add some bows or ribbons if you like and then Dollar Tree has a million and five options for things other than candy or candy to put in your containers.

I'm giving this to someone who doesn't like sweets, but I love it. that these are just felt stickers so they can be easily removed and the containers useful. The same goes for bows and ribbon. The hot glue will come off easily and we move on to the next idea of ​​where Dollar Tree carries so many little terra cotta pots or planters. The pots I'm using come two to a package. You can leave them as is or I painted mine white because it's more of a neutral color, but you can paint it completely pink and then use one of their felt stickers once again.

Put your felt. sticker on the pot and the same is a felt sticker that you can easily remove and then like me I have a snake plant that gets little pops, I separated my snake plant and I'm going to give this to someone who is just a total Plant Lover, I think this is a great simple idea, but another idea for your fellow plant lovers are plastic dollar

tree

gift baskets like this red one, which is great as is or You can spray paint it using candy pink or any pink or white color you prefer. I want and so this is a great way to give a plant that's a little bit bigger.

I would love to receive this gift. I would love to receive any of the latest gifts. I would rather get a plant than flowers any day and I just think it makes it look prettier and if you go to Walmart or something where you already have the wrapped and pink or whatever, it's a lot more expensive now I love a good tree door mat of dollars, all you need to do is grab one. of your welcome mats, it doesn't matter which one, as long as it's gray, turn it over and then every season the dollar tree will take some kind of big cut for Christmas, Valentine's Day, fall, all the holidays , more or less as they usually are. slightly sticky or I just don't like much shine so in my opinion it's not what I would really like to just put it in the middle of the rug and then spray paint it.

This works best with a highly pigmented spray paint. using Rust-oleum prickly pear a thick coat and then just pick up your love sign and voila, you got yourself a very nice doormat, but by the way, if you're bothered by how the spray paint blends into the letters, it's not. In a defined line, you can grab some puff paint from Dollar Tree, which works very surprisingly well on door mats and on the outline or color of your carpet, and that's what I did and this door mat looks great layered, like with this Czech buffalo doormat which is also a dollar tree DIY or a different style, my all time favorite dollar tree DIY door mat with tassels looks great on both senses, but another idea for a doormat if you get the black style, so the black colored doormat flips it over on the back and is totally black.

One of the easiest ways to personalize or personalize a doormat, get some of your lyrics on signs and you can make your favorite verb, Bible verse lyrics from a song, your favorite quote, you really know the possibilities are endless, paint it with spray anyway and then if the spray paint leaked a little under the sticky letters a basic old marker will fix it super simple and super easy but if you want to put this outside and you don't want to blow the liners off the Dollar Tree shelves. works great and you get a little more than if you bought the Dollar Tree rug liners to keep the doormat in place.

I use it outside so this is the one I have on my front door and I like the shelf liners because they are a little denser than regular rug liners and the following is another idea that can be used as decoration or To give as a gift, just grab some of the little square wooden pieces from Dollar Tree, they come in a pack of six and then you can paint or spray paint them any color you want. I prefer to spray paint and I chose gold so it's more of a neutral color so I can skip them.

You know, when Valentine's Day is over and it doesn't feel like it's random. Pink coaster design, but your choice is your DIY, you do what you want, then you only need one of Dollar Trees chalk paint markers, you can personalize them, the hearts write love and then to turn them into coasters, you simply grab some of the cork backings from Dollar Trees. On the back of your wood pieces and boom, you have some really cute coasters, super simple to make. I always get asked, hey Megan, what do you do with all your DIYs? Well, if I don't give them away too many times, I'll reuse them.

So this is a Christmas DIY where I just grabbed one of the burners from Dollar Tree that covers one of their candle holders and you can use any candle holder, it doesn't matter what type, some permanent glue or strong glue, I prefer gel super glue, combine all that together. We spray painted and then had a super pretty Christmas centerpiece. Well now that Christmas is over all we have to do is take it apart because other than the tray that is attached nothing was permanent and I spray painted it white but you can spray paint it. pink or whatever you want, I chose white because I feel like it will also go with spring and summer, then one of the smaller wreath packs from Dollar Tree that come in packs of two and I grab some flowers that are Valentine's Day or you already know. just your favorite colors, it doesn't really matter and place your flowers around the wreath shape, but the nice thing is that there's no hot glue here, we're not hot gluing anything, we're just twisting the wire pieces all the way around. the wreath shape and lamb's ear I'm using are from Walmart you get two pieces for two dollars or a dollar each however you want to look at that and that's it then we just have to put in our glass vase which is also from Dollar Tree. and a candle back on our tray and now we have a super pretty centerpiece for Valentine's Day dinner or can be used for spring and summer anyway.

I think this is really pretty and what I'll probably do after Valentine's Day is just swap out the flowers for white flowers and we move on to the next one where all you need is one of the glass jars from Dollar Tree, preferably the kind with metal lid, and then spray paint your favorite color. I'm using candy pink, I think it's a really cute color for Valentine's Day, optional, add some of the felt stickers on top. You know they come 100 in a package and I had so many left over, so why not? And then Dollar Tree sells all kinds of candy, so you just pick your favorite candy or the person you're giving their favorite candy to and then you can dress it up by adding a dollar frozen ribbon and a little bow on top.

This is a super cute gift, but here's another idea. Now I'm giving this away but an Idea if you would like to decorate with this this is a cake tray another DIY I made with a pink spray painted dollar tree and I think this would look really cute in the kitchen again if you're someone who likes to decorate your kitchen for Valentine's Day Full disclosure Honestly, I don't really decorate for Valentine's Day. You know, I can't get into that. I'll make a rug, maybe a wreath, but I don't go all out after Christmas. I like my house to rest and this.

The next one is very easy, you can use any pillow. Now this is a dollar tree pillow that I made with your own hands. I've shown it so many times that I don't want to repeat it, but I will have a video linked in the description so you can check it out if you want to see how to make one too and then some dollar trees felt hearts with a low temperature hot glue gun, hot glue them together and you'll have a super cute pillow for Valentine's Day, but here's the cool thing: use low heat and this can be easily removed after Valentine's Day, so you'll have a normal pillow again and once You can use any pillow for that, but here's another idea.

Dollar Tree also sells these tote bags. You can use the same white felt hearts or they also have a larger size, they come in eight units, they have pink, hot glue, I would say high temperature or high temperature glue gun in your bag and then if you want to optionally add a ribbon at the top, this makes a really cute tote bag. but what I really love about this is not only that it's a cute tote bag. I think these bags are also great to use as gift bags, so it's kind of a double duty to spend time here and it's just something they can reuse, but it's also the bag that you used as a gift, I think you have it below, just you need some of these hearts cut out from the dollar tree, print out the sheet music or you can use a book if you want and then trace your hearts on the paper. cut them out and just use a basic old glue stick to attach the paper to the hearts, then dollar tree cells, colored wooden beads, you can use those, that's what I did, string them, you can use any type of twine, I like to use your wire. because it is very thin but sturdy to get through the hole but still bendable so it doesn't feel or look like wire and then spray paint them but use high quality spray paint if you are going to spray paint your beads. colors.

Make sure you don't use 97 cent spray paint from Walmart. Use a high-quality spray paint. I prefer White Heirloom or Rust-oleum White Heirloom. I don't remember what it is right now, but it's kind of off-white and this. it works great so like a thick layer or a layer and a half everyone looks at that full coverage and you can't really tell they were deep colored beads so you can just poke a hole in your heart or what I did was I just glued Hot glue a clip on the back so you can reuse the beaded part of the sign and remove the hearts whenever you want and now you have a very nice sign for Valentine's Day but very neutral.

You can put it on a whiteboard. You can put it on top. your door however you want, I really like that it can be reused and in fact I did this last year and continued to use the beaded sign throughout the year. I had to use two packages of the cut out heart, so I had one left over. I cut my sheet music the same, this time I dyed them with coffee, regular oil glue stick and glued them on my heart. So in my opinion the best option or best deal would be to get some wooden hair beads from Dollar Trees for this DIY.I got 24, but I had a bunch of colored beads left over, so I did the same thing, hung them, and spray painted them.

The only difference in this DIY is that I made a lot less beads and two, I only used a little bit of wire. To connect the heart to my beads, I guess three, three, three different things because I also added a tassel at the end, but I love it because I use it as a bookmark, so it would be great as a decoration for you or as a gift. to give to someone else from your book loving friend as a bookmark or you can completely personalize it and maybe just put someone's initial on there. It's a great DIY.

I love how it turned out and we're on to the next one, so Dollar Tree. He sells shirts from time to time and I was really surprised by the quality. I bought a few of these, I just work in the garden and wear these tank tops. They will also sell these larger cutouts like the ones we used on the rug. We are using the smallest love. size sign, put it on your shirt and then put some kind of cardboard support behind your shirt and then the same prickly pear that I've been using throughout this video, you can spray paint your shirt and by the way, this holds up, think about it.

Have you ever gotten spray paint on your clothes or anything else that doesn't really come off so I tried to do a kind of ombre effect where I really focused on the love part and then blended it out, it didn't work very well , but The shirt turned out fine, so this is what it looks like after washing it. I'm not a model, but I wanted to show it to you, I mean, it's a shirt, it works, you can wear it, but that's how it looks on, so here we go, approved, it looks great and we're on the latest DIY tree that sells these coasters. of stone just for you. get one for a dollar, so mind you, Dollar General sells four for 250 and their Christmas items are on sale right now, so if you can get your hands on some Christmas coasters, you'll probably get them for about 25 cents at this point, Spray paint your coasters. white it doesn't matter if you have a four dollar tree or if you get a better deal at Dollar General so this is a free printable that I made every time I make a printable I share it with you for free and it's linked in the description so just cut out, trace, love, make it look like scrambled letters and you're going to use some mod podge so the trick to not getting bubbles with the mod polish and the paper is to mix water on your brush, press the paper and then just take your brush is the same brush you don't need to dip it again in mod podge smooth out the letters and bubbles and then you can come back if you want with another thin coat of mod podge now to keep this waterproof you want to spray it with a clear spray paint or, at some point, a sealant.

I just used clear spray paint. I think I bought it at Dollar General and it held up great. I think it's very cute for coasters or for decoration. This would be a great gift. It would be great for. decoration and this is my coffee placed on the coasters of love because it works like a roller coaster. Hey, thanks so much for watching, I'll see you next time my friend.
