Aside from the festive feeling brought by the holiday season, I also like how you can unleash your creativity during this time of the year by making your own decor at home. For your first holiday DIY, I recommend these mini Christmas trees from @thenavagepatch on TikTok. Now, can you believe these are made with dusters from Dollar Tree? They’re so pretty; they can pass as something you bought in Pottery Barn.

For the materials – you only need a few items, and you can all buy them in your local Dollar Tree as well along with the dusters. It’s a fun, easy, and inexpensive project you can do with your friends or family to kick off the holiday season. Ready to make one? Check out @thenavagepatch’s video tutorial below to learn the step by step instructions, or continue reading below.
To start, shake the duster a few times to fluff it out, then start trimming about three-fourths downward using a scissor, shaping it into a tree. Once done, remove the handle, shake it again to fluff it out, and remove the excess duster threads. Next, wrap the tree with fairy lights, distributing it evenly. Repeat these steps to make more trees.

Now, place a piece of floral foam inside a wooden cup, then stick the tree on it. Another option is, you can also drill the trees you made to a wooden board to make a more rustic look. Now, turn on the lights and place your trees wherever you like!
