2. DIY Floral Monogram

Dollar tree craft: a floral monogram letter decorated for a fraction of the fifty to one hundred dollar store price

Architectural and 3D letters are super popular right now, but buying one in a store can cost $50-100. Why pay that price when you can make an awesome letter yourself, and know you made the gorgeous piece of art adoring your wall for only a dollar. Cute in pretty much any room, and I bet the first person who sees yours asks which store you but intend to start selling them in my Etsy shop, too!

3. Dollar Store Galvanized Planters

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
