DIY Dollar Tree Bless This Home Fall Sign

This DIY Bless This Home Fall sign is so adorable and easy to make using Dollar Tree products. This craft cost me all of $4. I did have some of the supplies already in my craft arsenal but even so, it’s a fraction of what you would pay for something similar at Hobby Lobby or some other home store.

Prep Time 5 minutes      Active Time 15 minutes      Drying Time 30 minutes      Total Time 50 minutes      Difficulty Easy

SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:

• Dollar Tree pizza pan
• Dollar Tree round fall sign
• Dollar Tree Rope
• Glue gun and glue stick
• Chalk Paint in white
• Faux leaves
• Paintbrush

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Paint the pizza pan white with chalk paint. You really only need to paint the edges. Let dry completely.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Glue the round sign in the middle of the pan. 
   
   
   
3. Glue the rope inside the edge of the pan.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Arrange the leaves at the top of the pan/sign and glue them.
   
   
   
5. If you are hanging this, you can use the twine that was originally on the sign and glue it to the back. I suggest not using the glue gun because of my experience. It fell off the wall. Oh well, you live and learn. Maybe try E6000 glue, but remember, it will take longer to dry.
   
   
   

VOILA! You have a simply beautiful sign to hang for the fall.

Here's a short video of the project ↓

DIY St. Patrick's Day Banner

This simple St. Patrick’s Day craft is easy to put together, uses supplies that are readily available and I love how it looks displayed! 

What you’ll need:

• Some string
• Stapler
• A few buttons
• Green cardstock
• Gluestick or another type of adhesive
• Some pages from an old book or if you are like me and don't want to tear up a book, search for FREE old book pages and print them out

Instructions:

1. Using the book pages cut out 5 or more rectangles approximately 3.5″ x 6.5″ in size.
2. Cut a triangle shape out of the bottom of your rectangles. Hint: From left to right, find the center of your rectangle then measure 1 3/4 ” from the bottom to find where the top point of your triangle will be.

4. Cut out the number of shamrocks you’ll need from green cardstock. I used my Cricut but here's a template you are free to use. Make them around 2" wide. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Attach shamrocks to your banner pieces being sure to allow enough room to fold over the top edges. Place a button in the center of each shamrock.
   
   
   
   
   
6. Now you’re ready to put your banner together. Simply cut your length of string and attach banner pieces to the string by folding the top edge of the banner pieces over the string and staple or use the adhesive or glue. Space banner pieces evenly along the string by sliding them back and forth as needed.
   
   
   
7. Now hang it up somewhere and enjoy your new St. Patty’s Day decor!
   
   
   

Do you decorate for St. Patrick's Day? We'd love to hear from you and if you happen to make this project, please message us or share it on our social media pages.

And like the good Saint Patrick, may your home and life be blessed with all God's special favors that make you happiest,

Christmas or Winter Gnome Craft Project with Lights

We had so much fun making these little Winter Gnomes, that we thought we'd share the craft with you. Maybe you can take it and use your imagination and make whatever gnome your heart desires.

There are many holidays throughout the year to make a gnome for Valentine's Day, St.Patrick's Day, July 4th, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.

Here's all you need:

• Pint jar with lid
• Paint that will adhere to the glass
• Small paint brush
• Glue gun and glue sticks
• Fabric, cotton will work best
• Rick rack
• Felt
• White faux fur
• Plastic small snowflake or what embellishment you would like to use, depends on the theme of the gnome
• Wood bead with a flat side
• Styrofoam ball, pompom, cotton ball whatever you would like for the snowball
• Pink powder for the nose
• Qtip or brush to apply the powder
• White paint or marker
• LED lights

Step-by-step instructions:

Paint your pint jar with white paint, preferably for glass, then sprinkle white glitter all over the jar. Make sure you let it sit and dry before moving on to the next step. I also suggest you seal it because the glitter comes off rather easily and who likes glitter everywhere? Not me!

Cut your fabric into a triangle shape, and make sure the bottom is curved, it will go on the jar lid easier. Then hot glue the rick rack onto the bottom of the fabric.

Hot glue the fabric to the lid and overlap the fabric.

Glue the fabric up the middle to make the hat.

Cut the arm pieces out of the fabric and the mittens out of felt. Then glue the mittens to the back side of the arm fabric. 

Fold and glue both sides to make the arms.

**************************************************************************** 

Would you like to help us do reviews? Here's a link to our 

wishlist on Amazon.com. We have items starting as low as $6. 

****************************************************************************

Cut a piece of rick rack out for the trim and hot glue them.

Glue the arms to the sides of the jar.

Cut a piece of faux fur and glue it to the jar. Make sure it's under the lip of the jar because you will have to screw the top on.

Cut out a heart shape for the feet and glue it to the bottom of the jar.

Pull back the fur to make a little area to glue the wood nose on. 

Glue the nose.

Use the powder to make the nose rosey on one side.

Use the white paint or maker to make three dots on the side of the rosey nose.

Fold over the hat and glue the snowflake onto the top of the hat. 

Glue the snowball onto the felt hand.

Turn the lights on and stick them in the jar. Close the lid on the gnome. 

VOILA! You've created a Winter Gnome. How fun is that? 

Watch him glow in the night. Cute little gnome.

You will find us making the craft here on our Youtube Channel at around 16:00 minutes. We had a lot of laughs with Rhonda making the gnome, she's a good sport. Her poor fingers. 🤣

Or you can take a look at the tutorial I made, whichever you choose I hope you enjoy the effort.

Are you a crafty person? Have you made anything like these gnomes? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Happy holidays!

DIY Wood Slice Christmas Ornaments

These gorgeous napkin ornaments are simply easy to make. Within a few minutes, you can learn how to make napkin ornaments that you can totally personalize for yourself or friends and family.

How do you make Napkin Ornaments? Watch the video.

Instructions

1. Gather your supplies.

You will need the following:

• Wood Slice Ornaments 
• Paper Napkins (I bought mine at Dollar Tree)
• Mod Podge
• Scissors
• Sponge Paintbrush
• Fine grit sand block or paper
• Embellishments ( Dollar Tree )
• Craft glue or hot glue (I love this glue gun)

2. Line up the design. 

Line up the design you want from the napkin onto the wood slice ornament by laying the napkin over the top of the wood slice. You don't have to be precise (unless you have a particular design). 

3. Separate the napkin. 

Paper napkins have more than one ply. Gently rub a corner to get them to separate and then carefully pull it off. Cut it larger than the wood slice.

4. Put a layer of Mod Podge onto the wood slice. 

Use a paintbrush and paint a generous layer of Mod Podge onto the wood slice.

5. Press on the napkin. 

Carefully lay your napkin circle on top of the mod podge wood slice ornament. Use your fingers to press the napkin down and smooth it out. Make sure to press out any wrinkles or bubbles.

wishlist on Amazon.com. We have items starting as low as $6. 

****************************************************************************

 6. Sand the sides.

I used a fine-grit sand block to sand off the edges of the paper, plus you can see some of the bark of the wood.

7. Mod Podge the top of the napkin. 

Use the paintbrush and paint another layer of Mod Podge to the top of the napkin. Cover it completely up to the very edges.

8. Add the hanger.

You will have to push through the paper in order to pull the hanger through the hole.

9. Embellishments. 

Use your imagination on making these ornaments. The sky's the limit!

Do you like to make ornaments? Have you ever made this type of ornament? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Stay sassy,

Kelly
