20 Dollar Tree Farmhouse DIY Decor Crafts | DIY Spring Summer Fall Christmas | BEST 20 DIYs in 2020

Hello friends, today I am sharing my top 20 DIYs in

2020

. Let's make something for my s'mores project. I'm using one of the

dollar

tree

porcelain dice, they are a little smaller than the foam dice, but the foam dice will work just as well for this project for my graham crackers. I'm using one of the

dollar

tree

wood planks. This die has so many fun sayings on it that I hated painting on it but I'm going to use my white chalk paint and I'm going to end up giving it two coats when I'm done, I set it aside to dry and now I'm going to cut out the board on my future graham crackers.

It's seven inches long, so I marked it. in half at three thirty and then cut it into two pieces. I'm using a golden brown acrylic paint but I'm going to lighten it a little with some white to lighten the paint. It is completely optional. I just wanted a little more. a contrast when I added the chocolate I painted both pieces on both sides and ended up giving them two coats each once they were dry I used one piece and on the top I'm going to accentuate it to make it look like a graham cracker. I used my full golden brown color and with the back of a brush I made some dots on the top to mimic the top of a graham cracker for my chocolate pieces.

I'm using four of the brown blocks from the dollar tree

fall

ing tower. I placed them side by side on my wooden graham cracker and then, using my hot glue gun, glued them in place with my now dry marshmallow cubes. I'm going to add a simple face and let me warn you that I'm not an eye artist. I'm using the tip of one of my paintbrushes and some black acrylic paint. I dipped the tip of my brush into the lid and then made two simple dots on the face using the tip of a smaller brush which I made a semi-circle for. in the mouth I want to add a drizzle of melted chocolate to the top of my marshmallow, so I'm going to use a little bit of mod podge and a little bit of this chocolate brown paint that I found at the dollar tree to thicken the paint that I mixed a little bit. a little bit of the mod podge and paint together, this was the fun part.

I started drizzling my chocolate mixture around the top of the marshmallow. When I was done, I turned the marshmallow on its top and let it dry overnight. I wanted to do a little. rosy cheeks, so I dipped a Q-tip into my blush and then twisted the Q-tip to make two little cheeks with everything complete. It's finally time to put this s'more together using my glue gun. I assembled the three pieces, you can leave this. as is and it's super cute, but I decided to take it a step further and I'm going to add a little bow to the top using some of this red and white Czech dollar tree ribbon.

I made a simple bow and to finish this one. Plus, I stuck it in the center of my graham cracker. Today I will be participating in the top 20 diy projects of

2020

and sharing with you my favorite diy projects from january to december 2020. This will be brought to you by heidi from heidi. sumbold diy and leonepp from beauty i will purposely link their amazing channels along with the playlist below in my description. Let's stop this Valentine's Day project with a Dollar Tree Metal Pizza Pan. You will also need some. white spray paint, you will need two packages of glitter vase fillers, you will also need four three inch hearts along with some popsicle sticks and some wooden dowels, hearts to scatter on the table with glitter and some twine and all of these items I bought at For the dollar tree you will need a little modification, some magnetic strips and lastly some pink and red paint along with some e6000.

First we are going to take the wooden blocks, you will need four and we are going to cut them. at nine inches each. I'm using a utility knife to cut them, but use whatever you're comfortable working with once they're all cut. If you have a little ragged ends, just use the sandpaper to file them down. You are going to use your e6000 to attach the dowels to the back of the pizza pan, you are going to use your e6000 to attach them after placing a bead of glue along one side of the dowel, you are going to measure three and a half inches from the widest side of the pan and an inch and a half from each end to place the cross pins, measure down three inches and then measure six inches joining both with your e6000.

They should also measure about an inch on each side once your e6000 has dried, give it a good coat of white spray paint once the front has dried, be sure to give it a coat on the back. This step is optional, but if you want to hang it on the wall, we will add a jute hanger. on the back, all you need to do is cut it to size and then fix it with some e6000 keeping with the Valentine's theme for this project, we are going to use the larger glitter vase filler balls, they are super easy To put.

I'm just going to use the hot glue gun I use the pink, red and white pattern once the outside edge is complete we're going to use our mod podge and give the top and sides a good coat if you're just going to use this as a wall hanging tapestry, you don't have to give it a coat of mod podge if you are using it as a tic tac toe board, the mod podge will protect the surface from scratches to make our x's for the board we are going to wear. To start with 10 popsicle sticks, I used my scissors and cut off one of the rounded ends, then using a ruler, I measured my popsicle stick at two and a half inches and cut it.

I used my sandpaper to file the edges and then made nine more of these once I have ten two and a half inch bars now we will use our e6000 to put them together place a small dot of glue in the center of one of the bars and then place the other bar across it. a crisscross pattern once they are completely dry I will keep with the Valentine's theme and paint them this pretty pink color. Once the top is dry you will paint the bottom now that our x's are complete it's time to make our hearts.

I'm using four three inch wooden hearts, two of the hearts in the package are covered in glitter so I'll sand them lightly with my sandpaper once that's done now it's time to paint all four of them with my red acrylic paint and one more time. once the top is dry I paint the bottom now that the paint is dry on the hearts it's time to add the little sparkly heart details using our hot glue gun we're just going to put some hot glue on one side and then glue it. to the wooden heart after gluing the large pink heart to the heart, then I glued the smaller red heart.

I followed this pattern on all four hearts. I've also used similar hearts like this in a couple of my previous projects which I'll link to. they are below in case you want to take a look at them and check them out now with the hearts and axes dry, we're going to add the magnets to the back. I'm using some promotional magnets I got for free. What I'm going to do is turn them over and cut the back for the x's. I'm using this popsicle stick as a guide. I'm placing it against the magnet, a little bit below the edge, tracing it with my pencil and then cutting it out now. using my e6000 all i'm going to do is attach it to the back of the x after placing one strip you're going to cut another one and add that to it you're going to do this for all your exes adding a heart magnet i'm just using this larger piece of recycled magnetic strip.

I'm going to copy the heart on it, cut it out and then e6000 on the back of the heart when you're done with your four hearts and your five x's are complete and now your Valentine's Day ticking heart is ready to give as a gift. It can be hung on the wall as a

decor

ative piece and then removed for competitive fun while mom cooks in the kitchen and the

best

part is that you will never lose the pieces because they are magnetized and stick firmly to your board. I can't help but collect driftwood every time I'm at the beach, so I'm going to use some of this I had in my stash.

Using a 12 inch wooden wreath form along with 64 inches of jute, I had these turquoise shell pieces on hand so I'm using them as an accent. This shape has pre-drilled holes that make it easy to attach the hanger. I decided how long I wanted my hanger and pulled the jute through the holes. I then knotted each end twice to keep it in place. Once this was done, I wrapped the rest of the jute around the hanger and knotted it at each end. I am using jute. for my hanger, but wire would work just as well to finish, I cut off the excess jute and then hot glued the center piece to the form.

Once that was done, it was time to decide how big I wanted the wreath. I picked out a few pieces of my driftwood. and then I measured them against the shape. I was happy with the size so I used a piece of driftwood as a guide using a pencil. I marked the end and then trimmed it. I knew I needed quite a few pieces for this project, so I continued. marking them and cutting them until I thought I had enough. When you work with driftwood you can never know what type of wood it is so some of the pieces were very easy to cut and others were more difficult with all my pieces cut and ready.

Now I'm going to hot glue them onto the form. This part is pretty easy. I decided which piece I wanted to start with and hot glued it onto the form. I made sure the flat end was in the center and left it a bit. of the flat edge of the driftwood hanging over the edge of the form as I place the pieces, I press them close to each other, but also try to keep them straight as you continue to add the pieces, it will start to look like the sun, now that the first layer is complete, we will use more driftwood and fill in all those empty spaces.

I love making these driftwood wreaths because each one is unique and each one ends up looking different. Moving on, I'm using my cut pieces to fill in all the open gaps as my wreath grew, I started placing the hot glue on the ends of the wood. The reason I started doing this was because after I had a couple layers of wood, the hot glue would seep in between them. them, so placing it directly on the wood allowed it to join the other pieces to finish off the top of the wreath. I'm using my thinnest, roundest pieces of driftwood.

I assume they were branches that at one point ended up in the ocean and this is just a personal preference. I just wanted to give my wreath a little rounded look, so I saved them for last. I only had a handful of these pieces and hot glued them evenly around the wreath that these wreaths are sold for. a hundred and more on etsy and you know what it only cost me 2.99 plus my hot glue to make and here is the end result of all of you watching how I glue my driftwood pieces together to finish the wreath and give it a little shine.

I'm using these turquoise shells I had on hand. I wanted them to be spaced evenly around the center circle, so I positioned them to get their spacing before gluing them in place. I'm using these shell pieces to embellish my wreath, but you can use anything you want starfish other shells flowers anything Now that my shell pieces are exactly where I want them, I'm going to hot glue them into place. I spend a lot of time on the south coast of Maine and that's where I collected all these pieces of driftwood and it's so nice to be able to make something that reminds me of my happy place.

I also made a driftwood mirror with the wood I collected and I love it. I have it hanging. at my beach house and I'll link that video above in case you want to go and watch it with all my pieces attached. My project is complete, it was super easy to do and the

best

part it was basically free. I'm starting my

fall

prep project using this old piece of wood that I discovered is 12 inches long and five and a half inches wide. It definitely looks better today so I took a piece of sandpaper and just gave it a good sanding once the surface was smooth I painted it completely with my khaki acrylic paint it didn't repair any of the imperfections in the wood I wanted this to be more like a rustic scarecrow I thought the imperfections could give it a little more character Once the paint was completely dry, it was time to add the face.

I decided to give my scarecrow oval eyes, so I'm using two of these scratch stickers as a template. I found the center and then placed them on the wood. Then I traced them. and you can definitely do this freehand. It was easier for me to get both ovals to be exactly the same size. When I was done, I removed the stickers and my eyes are ready to paint. I then used my black acrylic paint to fill in the scarecrow's eyes once the black paint dried, now I'm going to use some white acrylic paint to give the eyes expression.

I used a thinner brush and did two halfmoons on the outside edge and then using the back of my brush I added two dots. I drew two eyebrows and used them as a guide for my nose brush. I cut a triangular piece of paper and used it as a template once I was done. I used a spicy orange paint to fill in the triangle once my orange paint. I dried, then added some small black stitch details on the nose using the same brush, then gave a free hand mouth, I'm giving the scarecrow some hair using some raffia I had on hand, grabbed a handful and then I tied it in the center with another piece of raffia then using my glue gun I glued it to the top of the head then using my scissors I cut some of the hair to make the hat I'm using some fabric that I already had around hand to cut out the wing I'm going to use a 12 inch plate as a template.

I'm using this cardboard triangle. Measures approximately 7 by 16 inches. You will need to cut four of these for the hat. I used it for some gnome hats. which I made and I'll actually link that video above in case you want to watch them Now that everything is cut out we're going to hot glue the pieces together. Normally I would sew them together but today I'm going to attach them with my glue gun. After applying the glue, I'll place one of the other triangles on top. I follow the same instructions until all four pieces are joined together. I put a dot of glue on the last triangle, then fold the edge of the first triangle and join them together, don't worry if it's not perfect because the scarecrows are definitely not perfect for determining how big the hole I need to fit. hat on the scarecrow's head I placed it against it and then used my scissors to make a couple of holes in the fabric for reference, then using my scissors and the reference points I cut out the center attaching the top of the hat to the brim place a drop of hot glue on the edge of the fabric, then fold the bottom of the hat slightly and place it over the hot glue.

You'll continue to do this as you move through the opening and if it looks like you're going to have a little more fabric, just gather it together when you're hot gluing it, give the hot glue a few minutes to set and then we'll flip the hat to give it a more rustic look.

farmhouse

look, I'm going to fray the edges, this is completely optional, but I really like how it looks. I'm using some dollar tree burlap and some ribbon I had on hand. I'm wrapping the burlap around the hat. where we sew it together to get my measurements, then I cut the top and bottom finished edge once I'm done, I'm fraying both sides once again, this is completely optional, I really like how it looks.

Then I'm gluing the burlap to the center of the hat where I attached the brim and top. The fun part about this project is that it's a hoarder, so you can use almost anything you have on hand, you can use yarn. or hair twine and mix and match different fabric patterns once this is done using a black ribbon that I am attaching to the center of the burlap. I'm adding some raffia to the hat, so I'm cutting off about two inches. the top I'm making the raffia for the hat just like I did for the hair, once I'm done I'm pushing the loose ends out of the top so they don't move, I'm securing them in place with my Glue Gun I'm not going to stuff the hat, I'm just filling it with some loose raffia just to give it a little fullness with the full cut.

Now we'll slide it over the scarecrow's head once you have it exactly right. where I want it, then I hot glue it into place. I'm adding this cute sunflower as an accent. I folded one corner of the wing, hot glued it into place, and then attached my sunflower. I also ended up adding a bit of leave. Below the flower to finish the project, I'm adding a couple of jute details. I made some eights out of the jute about eight inches long, then tied it around the top of the hat and then separated the jute into some loops to make its bow.

Tie, I thought about how big I wanted it and then once again I just made a bunch of figure eights in the jute, added a little bow of twine in the center to hold it together and then to finish it off I used a piece of coordinating. fabric and I just hot glued it around the little center tie, hot glued it in place and our scarecrow is complete to go. I'm using six of the two-piece drawer boxes I found in the dollar tree craft section. I found a A piece of wood is nine and three-quarters long and three inches wide.

I'm using a piece of sandpaper to remove any rough edges. I thought these blocks would make good handles, so I'll use 12 of them to give my project that industrial feel. I'm going to use this metal organizer with the matching pencil holder. I'm adding a bead accent so I'm using 20 of the 5 8 inch wood beads. I am also using four three quarter inch and four one inch, my colors for this project will be white and medium gray and I will also be using a mod podge. You will also need a wooden skewer, a piece of white paper and some small e6000s.

The drawers have cutouts and I'm actually going to reverse them and I don't want things to fall out the back so once I remove the drawer I'll trace it on my white paper once I'm done just cut it out make sure it fits in its place and cover the cutout, then using my mod podge and a paintbrush I glued it in place once I was done I did the same with the remaining five drawers. I'm painting all the boxes and drawers. inside and out with my white acrylic paint, these are the colors I chose for my project, but I think any color you use that matches your home

decor

would look absolutely perfect, all my boxes and drawers are painted, like this which now I'm going to paint my wood block before I start painting.

I'm using my sandpaper to sand all the edges and ends and making sure there are no rough spots. I'm using the same white acrylic paint and giving it a good coat. the handles i'm using 12 of the spinning blocks using my e6000 i'm gluing them in pairs once i'm done i place a heavy book on top of them and then let them sit overnight once my handles were dry i used my medium gray acrylic paint and I gave them all a coat and while I have my gray paint I'm also going to paint my beads. I'm using the eight largest beads as feet for my organizer and my pencil holder.

I slid them onto the skewer and then painted them with the same gray paint. Once I finished painting the larger beads, I slid 20 of the 5 8 inch beads onto a skewer and painted them as well with all of our painted and dried pieces. Now it's time to put the project together, we're going to add the handles and I'm reversing all the boxes so the cutout is on the back. I'm finding the location for each handle and then using my e6000. To glue them in place, it is important to make sure that when gluing the handles they line up perfectly.

Placing the handles on the next three boxes. I'm using one of my originals to get my location once again. I'm adding them with my e6000 and making sure they all line up perfectly once the handles are in place, now it's time to glue the boxes to the wood. Once again I used some e6000 and put some glue on the bottom of one of the boxes, it doesn't fit. exactly perfect so I made sure it was centered on the wood and then I added another box and this time I not only added glue to the bottom but I added some e6000 to the side and then pressed them together after completing my first row.

I continued until all my boxes were added. One of the most important parts of doing this project is making sure the handles and boxes are aligned with each other once I'm done and making sure they all dry evenly and in order. Instead, I'm just adding a piece of painter's tape to hold them together. I'm using my largest beads as legs for the organizer and pencil holder. I use my sandpaper to rough up the four edges of the organizer and this is where I'm going to glue my beads with that complete. I added a bit of e6000 to the bottom of each of the four one-inch beads and then added them to the organizer with the ones they were in place.

I used my sandpaper to rough up a small section on the bottom of the pencil holder, then glued four of my three-quarter inch beads to the bottom. Once I was done, I gave my pieces time with their glue to set up. I'm going to add my bead strip to the front of the pencil holder. organizer, I'm going to leave them on the skewer, so I'm going to use a little bit of my e6000 to attach some of them. I want to make sure I don't get too much glue on the beads, so I open the end of a paper clip, then insert it into my e6000 tube and put some glue on it, put it between the beads and on the skewer and do this In a few different places, there was just a bit of skewer sticking out of the end, so I cut them both off, then ran a bit of e6000 along one side of the beads and attached them to the front of the organizer.

I used painter's tape to hold them in place and then let them sit overnight once. my e6000 had been set up then i removed the painter's tape and now once again im going to attach the organizer and pencil holder with my e6000 i put a drop of glue on the metal strips on the back of the organizer and then attached I placed it in place and pressed it against the block of wood. I'm doing the same thing with the pencil holder, but first I'm going to put it in place. I found my contact areas on the boxes and organizer and then used my e6000 and secured.

You are now in place to make this little gnome in a bathtub. I'm starting with this plastic bathtub I found in the toy department at Dollar Tree. You will need a face cloth from the two pack and I chose blue because it is my favorite color. I am using 14 strands of this dollar tree mop for the gnome body. I'm using this white sock as stuffing for the gnome's body. I'm using these vanilla scented bath salts. I'm using these foam letter stickers that I found in the craft department every tub needs a yellow duck so I'm using one of these snack clips.

I'm going to use this extra large craft stick as his feet and one of the table tennis balls as his nose. You will need some filling. For the hat and some of these dollar tree beads as bubbles in the bathtub you will need a pipe cleaner and some nose paint along with something to decorate the hat. I'm using these little flower sprigs and this sheer white ribbon. Using my blue letters, I am spelling the word bath on the side of the bathtub to make the body of the gnome. I am filling the white sock with the bath salts to tie the end of the sock.

I'm wearing a ponytail band once. Ready, I checked the adjustment in the tub to make the beard. I am using 14 strands of this mop head, once cut I place them all in a row and make sure they are as even as possible. I fold one over to find my center and then run a line of hot glue down the middle using a pipe cleaner or a piece of string that you are going to place it in the hot glue on, then take one side of the mop threads and flip them over the other once everything is done.

What you need to do to make the beard is to untangle each of the strands with the full beard, all you need to do is trim it a little once your gnome is in the bathtub, you can always customize the beard before placing the stocking in the bathtub. I'm going to cut off the excess and tie a knot once it's complete. I place the sock in the tub. I cut off the excess ends of the pipe cleaners and hot glued the beard to the sock that will become the craft stick. the gnome's little feet I placed it on the end of the tub and marked it, cut it out and matched the other side and made two feet now all you need to do is paint the two pieces and the nose once the nose is dry.

I'm hot gluing it to the center of the beard. I'm gluing some polyfill to the top of the gnome's head to add the towel hat. I'm turning one of the corners towards the center. I put in some of the folding. corner under the gnome's head I wrapped one side of the towel over the other and then secured them with a little hot glue then I glued the towel to the side of the gnome's beard I glued the bottom of the towel and then I glued with hot glue towel up to her nose, I twisted the remaining piece and glued it to the side of the tub to add her feet.

Let me tell you, I'm not an artist, so all I did was take a pencil and draw some little lines on the ends to make them look like tootsies. and then I used my scissors to cut them out and hopefully they look like feet once I was done I hot glued them in place and detached the clip from the duck and added it to the tub once again. I usedhot glue to secure it. instead to add some bubbles. I'm using these dollar tree beads. I added them randomly to the tub once I was done. I hot glued some of the beads together.

I'm adding three sprigs of flowers as an accent. I did a little accent. from the ribbon I then added the flowers and ribbons to the hat Once you're done, your gnome is ready to soak in his bubble bath. I found these wooden blocks in my firewood bin and they were all different sizes so I thought they would make perfect wooden candle holders. I cut a hole in the top of each to accommodate these little metal candle cups I had left over from an old project. All of the blocks were worn and had many imperfections, so I thought I would give each one to you. one, a base coat of white paint.

I'm going to paint stripes on my larger sail instead of measuring stripes on the block of wood. In fact, I'm going to use painter's tape. I want the top stripe to be red, so I'll go with that. Along the edge with my painter's tape, my next stripe will be white, but to keep everything aligned and straight, I'm going to place another piece of tape. I added another piece of ribbon to hold the line of my fringe. My first stripe is glued. Remove and recycle some of the tape and don't waste it. I'm going to use it now and place it under the last piece of tape.

The most important part when adding the stripes is to keep everything straight and in line. I will continue with this. pattern until you get to the end and now comes the easy part: just added the red paint once the paint was dry, I gave it a second coat to make sure the paint was dry, let it sit overnight and then removed the tape . Once all the tape is removed, it's time to distress the wood. I used an old piece of sandpaper and sanded the sides and edges until I had the right amount of wear. My second chandelier will be blue with white stars.

I don't have templates, but I'm going to use these little blue plastic stars. I'm going to attach them to the wood using a light coat of mod podge. I let them dry for about 5 minutes and then added my blue paint. Wood destroys foam brushes and I didn't want to ruin my stencil brush, so what I did was take an old foam brush and just tapped the paint around the stars. When I was done, I let the piece dry completely and then removed the little plastic stars. After making one side, I continued the star pattern on the other. three and once again to give it a worn look I used some sandpaper and filed down the sides and edges.

I was a little worried that the stars wouldn't work, but I was very happy with the end result. I leave you the smallest candle. white candle holder but I am going to distress it before embellishing it to embellish the front of the candle. I'm using two strips of fabric that I soaked in coffee and cinnamon and then baked, tied them around the wood and then finished with a simple knot, found some assorted pome berries in my stash and hot glued them under the fabric . I needed something extra just to top off the chandelier. I found this little weathered tin star and attached it to the In the center I painted the little candle cups and added them to the top of each of the candle holders to finish this project.

I added some LED candles. I'm starting out using all the different lengths of this vintage lace and trim. I'm also going to use some of this tape I have on hand. I am using the 12 inch outer ring of this wire frame. I cut some thin strips of white fabric and I'm going to use this to cover the ring. bouquet of beautiful flowers, so I'm going to select them and decide what I would like to use to start the project. I removed the outer ring from the frame once the 12 inch ring was free by placing a small dot of hot glue.

I glued the ring to the fabric and then rotated it around the entire circle. I added a dot of hot glue here and there along the way to keep everything in place, although most of this won't show up on your project, it's important to try to keep it. As tight and smooth as possible just when I thought I would never finish this I finally made it to the end. I inherited a variety of pretty lace and trim, all in different sizes to keep me organized while doing this project. I measured the length of each one. piece once they were measured, I labeled them and then organized them from longest to shortest.

By doing this ahead of time, you will know their location space on the ring. I cut some tape and used it in the areas where I didn't. I have enough lace with the ring completed and the lace organized, now it's time to put the pieces together to attach it to the ring. I'm making sure both queues match up perfectly. The longest piece of lace I had was 22 inches so this will be the center point of my ring to attach it to, all you need to do is place the end of the loop under the ring and then thread the two tails through the loop .

The length of my ribbons measured 22 inches up to 6 inches starting with the longest piece in the middle this way my project will taper more on the sides. This is very easy to do and works very quickly. If you don't have lace, you can always use ribbons, strips of fabric, beads, pearls, whatever you have on. hand, now that all my lace is adhered, I am now adding some extra white fabric to the sides, this is completely optional for me, it just gives me a little more base to place the flowers on once I finished one side on the that I went up to half. the other side to neaten up the ends of the varied lengths of lace, I gave each one an angled cut, choosing a variety of pretty flowers and leaves that I thought would complement the lace.

Everyone's ring will be different and no two will be exactly the same, but To start, I found the center point of my longest lace piece. I'm going to start decorating the side of the ring by attaching my leaves. Once I had them in place, I started adding my flowers. I continued adding my flowers here and following the ring shape once all the larger flowers were glued in place, then I filled in the open spots with some baby's breath after completing the first side and then started working on the Another when making this ring, it is completely optional how many flowers you add and if you want to add them on both sides, but anyone who knows me knows that I am not a minimalist and I go on and on until I finally have to stop to finish.

I used some white acrylic paint and accented. On the rose borders, my cats really helped me with this next project. I saved a bunch of cans of cat food. I removed the labels and ran them through the dishwasher using my spray paint. I sprayed seven of them white and eight of them black. I painted the The inside of the cans that will be on top you will need some e6000 to hold them together along with something to weigh the cans down. You can use sand or rice or whatever you want. In fact, I'm going to use some of these rocks that Lo had picked up from the dollar tree a while ago to keep the chandelier from leaning.

I'm adding some of the stones to the bottom base tin for stacking. I'm applying a bead of e6000 to the inside edge once it's done. I'm alternating the color of the cans. The cat food cans for this project are 5.5 ounces. If you don't have them on hand, any small stackable can will work. It is important to add enough glue and when stacking the cans on top of each other. They are perfectly straight my cats like to eat so I had enough cans to make three different sizes using some white acrylic paint. I'm going to splash the black sections.

I removed most of the paint from my brush and then used the tip of my scissors. I just tapped until I got the right amount of splashes. I used this same technique in a previous video of a farm making a flower and sugar container and I'll link it above if you want to see it. I'm making a simple black and white bow for each candle holder. I cut each piece eight inches long. I fold the ribbon in half to find the center, then place a dot of hot glue in the middle and then glue both sides to the center once all the loops were made.

I cut a 2 inch piece of ribbon for each of them, put a small dot of hot glue in the center and then wrapped the short piece around it. I'm placing some simple plants and flowers on the front of the bow. I glued two sprigs of greenery. and a flower in the center of each one with them now all complete. I'm hot gluing them to the front of each candle holder to finish them off. I am using LED dollar tree candles and they are not tall enough. I'm using the center cardboard rings from some of these used ribbon rolls.

I'm adding one inside the top of each candle holder and then adding my candles. The first project starts with this plastic dollar tree mirror. Four shiny heart-shaped table packs. mod podge and a paintbrush and a small piece of sandpaper to start. I'm going to lightly sand the plastic part of the mirror just enough to remove the shine. Once this is done, we will use our mod podge and paste in the scattered dots. The mirror is very easy to make, just paint glue on one side of the heart and then stick it on the mirror frame. You will continue to do this slightly overlapping the hearts as you move around the outside edge of the frame.

Keep hitting. the hearts on the outside edge until it is completely covered now that the red hearts are complete we are going to glue the pink one, you are going to follow exactly the same instructions as to place the red hearts, but this time we are going to place them on the inside edge of the mirror once again, overlapping them slightly once it's complete, now we're going to add the smaller hearts, this time we're going to do things a little different, we're going to put on some glue. On the back of one of the small red hearts, we will then place the two tops of the hearts together and interlock them.

Once it's complete, we'll add a little glue to the back of the pink heart and then turn it over. placing the colors opposite the mirror keep repeating these steps until your mirror is completely covered with glitter hearts once it is complete you can hang it on the wall you can make two or three and hang them in a group use it as a backdrop or as I am using as a base starting with my patriotic popsicle wreath. I am using the 14 inch dollar tree wreath form. I'm going to use about three rolls of red, white, and blue mesh as my center accent.

Using this US Dollar Tree Sign, I'm turning these Dollar Tree Snack Clips into Popsicles. You'll need some wooden popsicle sticks along with some chenille stems or pipe cleaners as accents. I'm using some of the scattered stars and also Using this leftover sparkly balloon stand, I'm starting the wreath by combining my red, white and blue mesh once the ends are evened out, then I gather them up and secure them with a chenille stem. I then attach it to the center support on the Once this is done, I make sure to keep all the pieces together. Then I slide them under the first two rows of the form.

I'm making the height of each loop about three inches while continuing to hold the loop. Then I rotated the form once more. I'm doing another loop pushing the mesh through the second and third section of the form to finish. Now I'm pushing the mesh through the last two sections to help keep everything in place. Then I'm turning the stitch a couple of times, now you move to the front again and place the next loop next to the first loop where you started and now all you do is continue repeating the pattern. Be afraid to move your form to make it easier. run that mesh through those sections, as anyone who works with dollar tree mesh knows, sometimes it doesn't like to settle and likes to stick to anything in it, including your clothes, so be patient and do your best. can and try to conserve them. pieces of mesh together, just keep adding the loops to your rows and when you get to the end of the mesh, you will use a chenille stem and once again simply twist the mesh and attach it to the wire. frame, you're going to attach your new mesh group by doing the exact same thing and then continue working around the wire shape until your project is complete.

Once you're done, now it's time to add the ribbon details. I'm using a variety of ribbons that I already had on hand and I really wish I had more patriotic ribbons, but I'm just using what I have. I'm adding eight ribbon details to my wreath and I'm cutting my ribbon to 12 inches long once I have them all cut and then I'm going to attach each of their ends if you've never attached a ribbon before it's super easy all you need is you need to do is fold the tape in half and then cut at an angle with all the tapes. cut, now is the time to group them.

I am layering my ribbons and will attach them with half a chenille stem. Once all the ribbons are complete, I will add them to the wreath.I'm placing eight. decorative ribbons on the wreath so what I'm doing is spacing them evenly around the form once I decide where I want them to be I attach them to the two center supports of the form and continue moving around the wreath until all of my ribbons are together once you have them all in place, then it's time to separate the ribbons. I found these snack clips at the dollar tree and all I could see were popsicles, so I bought a few packs and I'm going to spin.

Turn them into popsicles and add them as accents in this wreath. I took each one out of the package and took them apart. Turning them into popsicles was very easy. All I did was take a popsicle stick and hot glue it to the back once I was done, then I heated it up. I glued them all in place. The fun part about making a patriotic wreath is that you can add whatever you want to it and now that all the patriotic popsicles are in place, it's time to add the USA sign using my glue gun that I'm attaching them to. the center of the wreath, once the letters are attached, I then attach the little stars scattered here and there around the wreath.

My final accent for the wreath are these little wired stars that are on this balloon stand. I took it apart and then cut the little wired stars out of the stem once I was done I glued them randomly onto the wreath. I had so much fun making this red, white, and blue dollar tree wreath. I used a lot of things I already had on hand and I'm very happy. With the way it came out at first, I'm using one of the white socks as a body, then I'll fill it with my bath salts, filling the body is quick and easy, just slide the sock over the open end. container, you can make your gnome any size you want.

I use about a container and a half of bath salt. You tie the open end with an elastic and in fact I like to follow it not only with an elastic but also with a hair band with your scissors, cut the center of the top of the sock and then tie a couple of knots for this gnome. I decided to use this patterned sock. You will only need one and all you have to do is simply slide it over the base of the sock. gnome body, once he is dressed, using your glue gun, join both parts of the socks and add his top hat.

It's super easy. You're going to slide the two white sock pieces onto the top of the hat and then secure it all together with your glue gun. You will only need one of these orange palms as a gnome beard, but I grabbed a handful, took it out of the package and then opened the back and couldn't believe what they had hidden inside, it was an extra faux fur that I don't need for this project, but I will definitely keep it and use it in the future. I flattened the orange fabric and I really like the shape so I didn't even have to cut it and all I did was lay it on top. against my gnome making sure I stuck it against his hat with my glue gun.

I'm just attaching the bottom of the beard to the body. The reason we're not attaching the beard completely to the body is because we have to add. the nose but first we add the noseI'm going to give my gnome a pair of little feet. I cut out the sides and stem of the shamrock and then glued it to the bottom of the gnome with a little hot glue to make this gnome's nose. I'm painting a ping pong ball. Once it's dry, I'm ready to put it up. I removed the top part of the beard, decided where I was going to place the nose and then using my scissors I cut a small V into the beard with that complete I could now add the nose.

I then placed a dot of glue where I wanted to place my nose and then just pressed it into place now that your nose is glued use your glue gun to glue the rest of the beard now that my gnome is put together it looks like it may be in need a little haircut, so using my scissors I'll just trim the sides of his beard. Once it's all cut out, you can leave it as is for my gnome. I'm going to give him a clover pipe. It's very easy to do. I'm using one of the dollar tree candle snuffers.

The end is removable so I'll remove it and then use some e6000. I'm putting the two pieces together. The bottom of the cone is movable, so I put some e6000 in it. I added the piece I separated under the cone and then added some e6000 along the base using masking tape. I glued it to a piece of wax paper and then let it dry for 24 hours once my pipe was dry I shortened it a little. When cutting off the extra piece of metal on the end, I decided to paint mine this pretty gold color, but you can paint yours any color you want.

I don't have gold spray paint on hand so I'm using my acrylic paint, but if you have spray paint it will definitely work much faster. I am going to cut out some of the shamrocks from this shamrock garland once you are done, all you need to do is use your hot glue gun and attach them to the inside of the pipe. I continued gluing them until the pipe was full of shamrocks. I decided to add a simple accent to the piping. I'm using a green pencil and all I'm doing is just adding a little accent line around the edge of the pipe. the pipe to the gnome you will need to use your scissors I decided where I wanted to connect the pipe and then using my scissors I moved them back and forth to make a hole through the beard and into the body of the gnome after that I just stuck the end of the tube in the hole now that it was in place.

I secured it with some hot glue. This leprechaun is practically ready for St. Patrick's Day, but I had a little extra beard left over and decided to add it under his nose for this project. I'm going to trade this ugly duckling that someone threw away for a beautiful swan. The swan is made of wood and there are a lot of chipped paint chips, so I just used my sandpaper and sanded it good. I'm always amazed when someone throws something like this in the trash and all you need to do is spend about 30 minutes and give it a good paint job and a whole new life. there were a few pieces of wood missing from the swan and I went down and checked my wood putty and guess what it was all dry so I used some paint putty and filled in the holes as best as possible once the putty had dried.

I then sanded the surface to a smooth finish once I was done sanding I used a slightly damp cloth and wiped them all down to remove any leftover residue with all the pieces prepped and ready. Now I'm giving each one two coats of my white. acrylic paint I made sure to let each piece dry completely before adding the second coat. I'm using the same color scheme for all my projects and I'm painting the swan's beak with this pretty full beak periwinkle blue acrylic paint. I'm using a fine black marker to line the eyes, after I did one eye I did the other and then I lined the beak.

I'm displaying the swan on an enclosed porch, but I wanted to give it a little extra protection, so I'm going to give all the pieces a coat of mod podge. A clear coat spray would also work great with all of my completed pieces. I used some e6000 and joined them together. These pieces of wood are quite heavy, so I used a generous amount. I want to add a nice accent on my swan neck, I'm sure you're wondering what this woman is showing me what this mess is. My husband and brother-in-law trimmed the vines from it, so I told them to let me have the cuttings I love to make. my own vine wreaths, so I thought I would make a smaller version for the swan neck.

When I make my grapevine wreaths all I do is twist the vines one in and one out of the other in a circular pattern, they are super easy to make. and the best part is that they are free when I'm done, then I secure them with some floral wire. I'm using the same flowers with the exception of one of the flowers that has this really pretty butterfly for this project. I am removing the flower heads, buds and leaves to make the crown for the swan's neck. It's super easy. All you need to do is start hot gluing the flowers to the vine.

When I glue the flowers to the wreath, I have them all. heading in the same direction once all the flowers were attached, I then used my green leaves to fill in the open spaces to finish this project and change this discarded duckling back into a beautiful swan. I placed the floral vine crown on her head and neck. I'm completing this upcycled project by adding this cute butterfly to the wreath. If this is your first time, welcome.

. I always love to see what everyone is doing so we can stay in touch. Don't forget to click the little red subscribe button below to make my card. I am using one of the dollar wood trees. boxes and I'm using one of the blocks to cover the opening in the back. I'm using e6000 for this project because hot glue just won't hold it together in the long run. I cut two medium sized craft sticks and glued them together.

About the opening on the inside of the box, I'm using a small dollar tree dowel, so I make sure to leave a big enough opening. I'll be using two large skewers for this project, so I'm just going to cut off the end of one to make a handle for my cart. I'm adding the skewers to add some dimension. I am measuring and cutting them four each in width, depth and length and once again I am using my e6000 to join them together. on the top, bottom and sides, once it had dried I gave the cart and handle two coats of white acrylic paint.

Once it's completely dry, it's time to attach the handle. I slid the handle through the opening and marked where I wanted. I secured it and then using my scissors I made two notches in the marked areas, I slid it through the opening and lined up the notches and then applied a bit of e6000 to help keep it in place once I was done I used two pieces of painter's tape. To keep it in place until it's set up, I'm adding two different paper banners to the sides. My printable pumpkin and sweet red apples that I made in Canva for free using my mod podge.

I attached each one to a different side once both sides were dry. I then used my Exacta knife and ran along the original lines on the box when both sides were done. I then used a pencil to accentuate where I had cut using that same pencil. I accentuated the back, front and all the sides I'm wearing. these little dollar tree letter stickers and I'm adding the word fall on the back. I am painting eight water bottle caps, four are orange, four are red and I am also painting three small wooden beads, turning the beads into apples that I am using. a piece of twig for the stems and all I did was add a little hot glue to the bottom and then inserted the stem to make the apple leaves.

I cut a piece of a vein from the stem of a silk leaf and then glued it on. Put it on top and add them to my little cart. I simply hot glued them in place to add the same 3D effect on the other side. I'm cutting one of the dollar tree pumpkins in half and it's as easy as just gluing it in place. For my wheels I am using four of these dollar tree shaped tin storage containers and I am spraying them with my black spray paint once they dry and since the paint scratches very easily I am giving each of them them a layer of mod podge.

I glued two orange and two red bottle caps to the center of each tire to accentuate the hubcaps. I'm gluing some buttons in the center with a screwdriver. I cut a hole in the center of the remaining bottle caps. I'm measuring two skewers at the bottom and these will become the shaft. I already have two wheels made and to complete them I am sliding the red cap on the axle of the orange wheel after adding some e6000 and then attaching it to the inside of the red wheel and now I am doing the same, I am putting the orange cap on the wheel red and then, using my e6000, I connect it to the tire.

I let them install overnight and, using my e6000, attached them to the bottom of my car while I glued them on. I made sure both oranges were on the pumpkin side and both reds were on the apple side to start my Christmas house project. I am using one of the log houses and the dollar tree house sign using my white acrylic paint. giving each piece a full coat. I'm doing my project in white, but I think any color would be pretty once my word home is dry. I'm using a festive red to paint the base now that my base isdry.

I'm adding a White Decorative Ribbon. I had this ribbon on hand, but the dollar tree has some really pretty Christmas patterns that you can use to coordinate with your colors. I want to add a fireplace to my house so I'm using the dollar tree rotating tower blocks to attach. My blocks together I'm going to use my e6000. I'm duplicating them and hot glue might work, but the last set of blocks will balance on the end of the previous blocks and I wasn't sure if hot glue would work. Strong enough to make the chimney in my house.

I'm using eight of the blocks. If you want to make it a little higher, you can always add an extra set before placing the last set of blocks. I'm going to use a heavy one. piece of floral wire and I'm going to bend it not completely in half but a little bit off center. I'm using a pencil and I'm twisting each of the ends and it's very easy, all you do is wrap the wire around your Pencil, the wire is now my billowing smoke and I'm connecting it between the top four blocks. Once I was done, I wrapped a piece of wax paper around my fireplace, placed some heavy books on top, and then let it sit until it dried.

With my fireplace dry and continuing with the Christmas theme, I'm going to paint it with my forest green acrylic paint so that the spirals on the fireplace look like smoke. I'm giving each one a coat of gray paint to make the wreath inside my house. I'm using a piece of dollar tree wire garland, I measured it inside the house, decided how big I wanted it to be, and then wrapped the extra wire around itself to decorate the wreath. I'm wearing some mardi gras beads and I don't know anyone else, but I swear I have a collection of at least a hundred of these.

I don't know where they all came from, but I picked my favorite colors and then cut them into individual beads and added them to the wreath. Easy and fun, I just placed a small dot of hot glue and then attached my topper with my now completed wreath. I'm going to fix it with a little haircut using my scissors. I just cut off all the scruffy ends. Using red and white checkered ribbon from the dollar tree and making a simple bow for my wreath, I fold both ends of the ribbon and then grab it in the middle and secure it with a piece of floral wire that I cut.

The angled ends removed the extra wire and then I hot glued it to my wreath to finish it. I placed a dot of hot glue in the center and added one of the red beads with all my pieces complete. I'm hot gluing. the chimney on the side of the house. Now I'm adding my Christmas wreath with my wreath securely in place. Now I'm finishing up the sign for my house. I'm wearing one of the dollar tree witch hats and a floral ring. I will slide the finished ring onto the hat, so if you don't buy it at Dollar Tree, just make sure it fits.

Dollar Tree is really stepping up their game with flowers so I decided on my color scheme and then grabbed a handful and wanted the centerpiece to be a little spooky so I made sure to get two of the roses with the eyeballs. I cut all my flowers off the main stem and left about a two-inch stem on each. My purple flowers are my base. flowers, so I started placing them evenly around the ring. Once I was done I started placing my black flowers and made sure to put the two roses with the eyeballs next to each other once my black flowers were in place, then I added my purple and my green berries, the other Flowers could simply be pushed into the ring, but berries had to be hot glued into place.

One of the fun things about this project is that you don't have to use the same flowers I used, you can pick them. your own halloween colors and you can even use things you already have on hand. Then I added the leaves from the pumpkin stems and placed them here and there to fill in some of the empty spaces. Then I took the pumpkins that were on the stem and glued them evenly around the ring here and there on the ring there are some empty spaces so I'm going to use some black dollar tree mesh and make some curls.

I don't need much so when cutting my chanel stems into three pieces I'm not measuring my mesh but I'm guessing it's about six inches once cut I just roll it into a little curl and tie it with my chenille stem when I'm done .I had made about 10 and hot glued them into all the little open spaces. My black bouquet came with two spiders and some random black branches, so to not waste anything, I'm just going to hot glue them around the ring if you want. I don't have any of these, you could always paint some twigs black and that would work great too.

The witch hat stands up pretty well on its own, but I'm going to stuff it with some stuffing just to help it out a bit. and if you don't have any stuffing on hand, you can always use paper towels or an old sock or whatever you have lying around to give this witch a little flair. I'm going to use the same black tool that I used for my ghost candle and make a simple loop. Putting this together is as simple as sliding the ring over the top of the hat. I added a little hot glue to the tip and then attached the bow.

I finished the center piece. By adding one of the sparkly spiders to the arch, I'm starting my pinecone wreath with the 14-inch dollar tree wire frame. I need some kind of base to hold my pine cones, so I'll use the dollar tree burlap. tape, but you can use anything you have on hand. I wrapped the end of the ribbon around the form and glued it in place. I started wrapping it making sure to occasionally add a little hot glue to keep it in place. I ended up needing two rolls of burlap ribbon to add my second ribbon.

I just glued it on with a little hot glue to the end of the first one and then continued wrapping it around the wreath frame while wrapping the burlap. I wasn't very well. fussy because no one is going to see the front when you are done your form will be completely covered and like I said you can use anything you have on hand as long as the cones and hot glue adhere to the wreath shape. wrapped now we are ready to get to work I am painting about 75 pine cones and I choose red green white and a clear coat nothing glamorous here I just put the pine cones on an old piece of cardboard and now I am adding a layer of spray paint to each side, you can use regular spray paint and I did that for my white and clear coat, but for the red and green I ended up using this florist spray paint, they usually use it on flowers, the color is usually less dramatic. and my sister-in-law gave me a whole ton of this paint in different colors when she was closing her flower business, so I figured instead of running out of money and spending money, I would just use what I had on hand when my red paints and pine cones greens were ready, then I used regular white spray paint and sprayed my next batch.

I also sprayed some with clear coat. I waited for all my pine cones to dry on one side. I flipped them over and then coated them on the back. I used Christmas colors for my project, but I think any color would look absolutely beautiful. I'm adding a simple wire hanger that will make it much easier when you want to hang your wreath and all I did was take two pieces. from a heavy gauge floral wire and I just twisted it and then wrapped it around my wreath form and then twisted it into a little loop. The finished wreath isn't that heavy, so if you don't have wire you can use something else you have on hand once my pinecones are dried.

I took them inside and separated them into colors to start the project. I just picked the green color at random and using my hot glue gun I glued my first pine cone to the side. I'm gluing them all in the same direction and at an angle. I also keep them more or less in the same color pattern, but this is completely optional now that the outer layer is complete, I'm going to work in the middle and I follow the exact same instructions, this project works super fast and it actually smells great because you can smell the pine, but the downside is that even though I have sprayed all of these cones, there is still some sap that leaks out if you do. make one of these wreaths, just be prepared because your hands will get a little cheesy.

Now I'm finishing the center ring of the pine cones. I'm doing the exact same thing, only this time I hot glue them into place, although you can. I have to add a little extra hot glue to the sides of the pineapple, it just helps it stick in place when I'm done with my center ring and this is completely optional. I had some thinner pinecones and put some hot glue on the side. and then I just pushed them against the bottom row and tucked them underneath and like I said, this is completely optional, it just gave it a nicer look, but if you don't have these, leaving it with three rows looks great.

Also at this point your wreath is complete, but if you want to continue with what I'm doing I'll fill it with some of the pine cones I had left over, they're too big so I'll cut them down to about an inch from the end to finish my super project. easy, I randomly glued the shorter pine cones here and there along the wreath. I love the way this wreath turned out. I think it's beautiful and I can't wait to hang it for Christmas. I love the fact. I used pine cones from my own garden and using some dollar tree supplies I think it cost me about eight dollars to make our bunny truck.

Let's start with two of the happy Easter blue truck signs you'll need. I bought the 1 inch wide craft sticks at Walmart, but you can find smaller ones at the dollar tree. I'm using two blocks of wood. Some of the black stick-on letters will need some acrylic paint. I'm using blue, black, white and some. brown as accents I am using some buttons that I had on hand you will also need a cutter or a blade, the first thing you need to do is remove the hangers and happy easter signs, once this is done you will remove the carrots. the back of the truck using your cutter cut the outline of the truck these signs are quite thick so you will have to use a little muscle and continue working until the carrots separate from the truck once the first truck is complete then do it exactly the same for the second truck, the next steps will require measuring and cutting with your cutter.

We are using pieces from the back of the Happy Easter sign to attach the two trucks. You are going to measure and cut a Then you will measure a 2-inch piece and cut a six-inch piece of the sign. If your ends aren't perfect and have some residue left from cutting, simply use a piece of sandpaper and sand lightly. finish off using your glue gun now we're going to glue the two pieces together I placed a drop of hot glue on the edge and joined the two pieces together now with that complete we're going to cut two one and a half inch pieces with those two complete now we're going to cut an additional five inch piece now we are going to attach all the cut pieces to one side of the blue truck put hot glue on one side on the edge of the piece you have already glued together then press it against the truck about an inch from the part top once it's in place add a little extra glue to the bottom to hold it together now place some hot glue on one of the one and a half inch pieces then place it against the end piece and once again add a little hot glue on the back to help keep it in place.

Now we are adding some hot glue to the edges of our five inch piece, place the short side against the one and a half inch piece to help prop it up. Above, I'm adding some hot glue to the bottom and side to finish the truck bed. We're adding the last inch and a half piece, once again put a little bit of hot glue on the edge and the side and then press against Then add a little bit of hot glue to the back of the truck. Now we are going to make the roof hood and the box with the craft sticks.

They're pretty thin, so I'm just using my scissors to cut off the rounded end. Measure and cut four craft sticks into six-inch pieces if the ends are rough, just use sandpaper and smooth them out. We are going to divide two of the sticks in half using your ruler. Measure half an inch, cut one side and then the other so you have two pieces if the edges are rough use sandpaper to smooth them out when you are done you will have four six by half inch pieces now we are cutting three three inch pieces again cut two of the three inch pieces in half I'm softening this golden brown color with a little bit of white all these pieces are for the truck bed once I mixed the color I liked then I painted all the pieces and both sides when the pieces were dryI used a pencil and put two small circles at the end of each board.

This is completely optional. I thought I would add a little character to the back of the truck using your glue gun. All you're going to do is run a bead of glue along the side. truck covering just the bunny's feet now place one of the six inch boards to the side once you have done this for the first truck do the exact same thing with the other one at the bottom of one of the half inch boards put some hot water glue on, place this near the top on the outside of the truck, keep it in place until installed.

Now we are going to follow the exact same instructions and place the second piece once again, holding it in place until it is installed, follow the exact same instructions. Same instructions for the other truck now with the sides complete, we can attach both pieces together, apply a thick bead of glue to the outside frame of the truck, align the trucks and then put both pieces together, hold it in place until it sets. I'm using these two three inch pieces as supports for the side rails using my hot glue, I attached the four pieces together and once again after doing that on one side I did the exact same thing on the other to finish the back.

I'm going to start by adding the entire three inch piece once again. I'm adding a little bit of hot glue and then just attaching the three inch piece to cover the back. I'm putting hot glue on the ends of the two half inch pieces and then attaching them. against the side rails to finish, we are adding the last top piece to cover the body. You will need 12 3-inch pieces. Three of those pieces he will cut in half, once cut he will paint them all on the front and Back I am using the sailing sky color and this one matches the truck almost perfectly, once the pieces were painted I painted the inside of the truck , it's time to cover the outside of the truck and we're going to use our painted color. pieces, I'm placing one of the half inch pieces on the back and now I'm placing three of the full three inch pieces.

Make sure that once you apply the hot glue, you press the pieces firmly together. I'm leaving an opening for the windshield, so I'm putting one of the half-inch pieces on the bottom and then we add three three-inch pieces to cover the hood. I am placing three of the half inch pieces to give the hood a rounded look on the first piece. glued and the second piece will sit on the small shelf. I'm placing the third piece and that will cover the one on the shelf. I'm putting in two three inch pieces to finish the front and to complete the hood I'm adding. one three-inch piece to cover the two half-inch pieces and give the truck a more uniform appearance.

There are many pieces involved and I have all the measurements listed below in my description. I'm using a piece of sandpaper to just file the edges on the truck a little bit and smooth them out. I wanted to cover the two small holes in the front so I cut a thin straight piece and a rounded piece from one of the leftover craft sticks that I did some touch ups on. the truck and then painted the two small pieces once they were dry. I used my glue gun to glue them together and hide the hole in the door left by the hang tag.

I'm adding a small sliver of wood from the craft stick. I just pushed it through the hole and then using my paint I covered it, the dried paint held it in place to cover the hang tag holes in the tires. I'm doing exactly the same thing, but this time I'm using black paint to give the truck a little shine. I'm adding some decorative buttons. I'm gluing two to the center of the tires to look like rims and then two to the front to look like headlights. I am using two of the wood blocks to make the license. plates for the truck there is not much space, so I came up with the word egg.

I attached one to the front and then one to the back to complete the project. I used some of my blue paint and painted the back to start. I am upcycling this 24 inch Happy Easter sign. I'm also using four sets of these arrow signs that I had left over from last

summer

. You will need two packages of these extra long bamboo skewers. You will need something to support the back of the bench and I am using this strip of recycled wood. Your bench will need four legs and I'm actually using these four legs that I found in a recycling bin.

I used four bottle caps, some mod podge white acrylic paint and my e6000, my bunny sign. It was missing the arch and legs, so I took a piece of sandpaper and smoothed the surface. The arrow signs come in packs of three, so you will need to remove the hanger, staples, and labels. When you're done, you'll have 12 separate signs. These signs have some glitter and raised graphics, so I'm using a piece of sandpaper and lightly sanding them on some of the signs. The decals began to separate from the cardboard backing. I took them off as much as I could.

I could and then used my sandpaper to smooth the surface on the back of the signs. Small holes remained from the staples. Once again I used my sandpaper and sanded them until they were smooth. I also sanded the sides with what was missing. decals once i was done i used my mod podge and gave it a coat of both the front and the back. I am using two of the arrow signs as armrests to get the correct size. I measured both ends and marked them with my pencil once I was done. I placed them on an old piece of cardboard because I didn't want to damage my table and then I used my cutter.

I followed the pencil mark. You don't want to cut completely. You want to cut just enough so you can fold. the sign without breaking it in half once both signs are cut and folded in half I used my hot glue gun and attached them to the ends of the sign. I'm using this ruler to fill the open space at the back of the bench. You can use a piece of cardboard. You can even use another sign. You just need something to fill the opening first. we added the back panels we need to check their placement they are not all exactly the same size so I placed them next to each other on the bench to see how they would fit one of these panels overlapped a bit to remedy this issue I used .

My sandpaper and I sanded each side of each side once they all fit together. I used my glue gun to attach them to the back with all the panels in place. Now I'm adding the back wood support piece, I measured it and hot glued it. instead I'm using some of these wooden skewers to hide the glued edges on the bench, I measured each piece and then cut it to size once they were all cut I glued them in place with all the pieces glued in place , now I added the support caps for my legs I used a combination of e6000 and my glue gun and placed the four caps on the corners of the bench now with all the pieces assembled it's time to paint the bench and the legs I'm using white acrylic paint but You can choose any color you want and if you have spray paint, you can use that too.

I painted the front and then the back and once it was complete, I painted the legs. I needed to give them all two full coats. I set the legs aside to dry and then painted a package consisting of 12 pieces of wooden skewers. I'm attaching the legs using the same mixture of hot glue and e6000. You may need to hold the paw in place for a minute or two. The hot glue has a chance to set up once all the legs are attached, flip the bench over and let it sit overnight. I'm going to use the painted skewers as a support for the bench.

I'm measuring and cutting two sets of three ones. for the front and one for the back i also cut two sets for the inside support now that the pieces are measured and cut i am hot gluing them in groups of three with the support pieces complete then hot gluing them in place . I attached the front and back and then the two sides in the back for extra support. I attached two of the skewers in a criss-cross pattern. I used some leftover skewer pieces to decorate the back and hide the hole in the ruler. I made a similar chair. to this bank and if you want to see that video, I'll link it below.

This step is completely optional, but to finish I like to accentuate the back panels. I use my pencil to accentuate the edges and individual pieces once I'm done I rub my finger along the edges of the pencil marks doing this accentuating each individual panel for the bumblebee gnome. I'm upcycling the bottom half of one of the round gift boxes. I placed a handful of stones that I found in my garden. inside to give it weight I'm using an old black sock as her body I'm using another ball as her nose for accents I'm using the bumblebee headband and also one of the skirts and I found these in the toy department I'll need a little more padding and you will also need some paint once again.

I'm using some of the mop threads as a beard and you'll also need a pipe cleaner. I'll use this black and yellow tape. and some of the flowers from the previous project we will use some of the same flowers, you will need a piece of wire. I'm going to use the flower stem. My stones are already in, so I'm sliding the black sock over the base. We're using the bumblebee skirt as a hat, so you need to take it apart. I rolled the body along the fabric one and a half times, then cut it out and made a second matching piece.

I want my hat. To be tall, I placed one piece of fabric on top of the other, matched the lines, and then hot glued the fabric together. I folded the fabric in half on the wrong side and hot glued the two seams once the glue hardened. up and then flip it over, we're making the beard exactly like we did for the bathroom gnome and this time I'm using about 20 strands from the mop after putting it together, once again you separate the strands when I'm done and cut them off. I removed the excess pipe cleaner and then hot glued it to the mold.

Then I gave it a little trim. I painted the nose with my yellow paint. I'm using the stem of my flower to hold up the height of the hat. I cut a small hole in it. top back of gnome head i hot glued the wire and inserted it in place, attached the nose to the beard, then slid the hat over the wire with the hat in place, then attached it to the nose once that the nose was in place. I then placed the hat on both sides once this was done I placed it on the back and then using some of the filling I stuffed the hat.

I wanted my hat to be thinner at the top than the bottom, so using my glue gun I just pinched a little. of the fabric and attached it. I made other gnomes with dollar tree supplies and I'll link that video below in case you want to watch it to finish the top. I folded the edges and glued them together, joining the antennas. I made a hole in the fabric with my scissors and then just slid them through. I'm adding a little yellow flower accent to the bumblebee just like I did with the butterfly. I am making a decorative bow with the black and yellow ribbon for the top of the hat I folded it into the position I liked and then added the bow to finish the project.

I found this little tin bee in my stash and added it to the bow if you made it to the number you're amazing thank you so much for checking out my top 20 of 2020. If you're new hit the red subscribe button below give me a big thumbs up and I will see you all very soon, goodbye everyone.
