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.

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!

DIY Air-dry Clay Ghost with Tea Lights Craft

We recently made these cute little ghosts using air-dry clay. Great DIY craft for your kids, grandkids, or for yourself, and set them right in there with all your Halloween decorations. 

Here’s what you need:

• White air-dry clay 
• Rolling pin
• Straw or lollipop stick
• Knife or a bowl 4.5” across
• Aluminum foil 
• Tea Lights 

Instructions:

1. Roll out a 2-3” ball of clay.
2. When it’s about 1/4-inch thick, cut out a 4 1/2-inch circle.
3. Continue to roll the circle until it’s about 6-inches in diameter.
4.  With the straw or lollipop stick, make two eyes a bit off-center. 
5. Use the aluminum foil to build a mold to drape the clay circle over the ball. 
6. Let the ghost dry for up to 48 hours. You may need to turn it over to dry underneath after the first 24 hours.
7. Rest the ghost over a tea light.

And the final project looks like this...

Below is our 10/19/22 LIVE video with the craft that starts at 20:00.

We hope you enjoyed this little tutorial. Do you decorate for Halloween? Do you make crafts for the holidays? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

DIY Over the Door Sign

This DIY over the door sign is simple and a quick way to decorate over any door in your house. I was looking for some scripture signs to put over two open doorways in our home and after researching, I thought why not make them. I have a Cricut Explore Air & vinyl, all I needed was the wood and paint.

I found the unfinished wood at Home Depot.  I bought two 1 in. x 4 in. x 39” Spruce/Pine/Fir Common Board Bed Slats @ $2.96 a piece. 

The paint I bought at Walmart, Waverly Inspirations Ultra Matte White for $6.54. 

The vinyl I used was Cricut removable vinyl. It actually wasn’t easy to remove when I made a mistake, that was disappointing. 

The 2” font was Courgette and I cut black vinyl. I had to make it fit on the 12” x 12” vinyl sheet. After cutting it out with my Cricut Explore Air, I cut sections of the words and used transfer paper to adhere to the painted wood. 

As far as the removeable vinyl goes, it didn’t want to remove when I made a mistake. OOPS! Oh well, we will see how long it will last until I can't stand looking at my mistakes. 🤣 

To hang them I used 3M Command strips which, with my experience, usually work very well .

What are your thoughts? Would you try and make something similar? We’d love to hear from you, please comment below.

Stay safe & sassy!

Christmas Decorated Wooden Spoon Challenge November 2020

We had a challenge recently to use old or new wooden spoons decorated in a Christmas motif. This was so much fun and some folks really did create some unique spoons. Maybe you can design your own with a little inspiration from these wonderful ladies who participated in the challenge.

Joyce Edstron did a fantastic job on her spoons

Kelly Flickinger and her Upside Down Santa and Elves

Cathy Wright and her Ornaments

Rhonda Byler and her Snowman Bunch

Thank you to all those that participated and we hope we gave you some incentive to a DIY project for the upcoming holidays.

Stay safe and healthy,

DIY Valentine’s Day Centerpiece for under $10

Cathy made this DIY Valentine's Day Centerpiece for under $10 and you can too!

You can get these items at the Dollar Tree!

You will need...

• 2 pillar vases
• 2 LED tealight candles
• heart banner
• tiny conversation hearts
• 2 items as fillers

Here is how to make this project:  

1. Put the filler items inside vase and TRY to center.
2. Put candy around filler. Shaking helps the candy to go around the filler.
3. Place tealight on top. As you can see, there is candy dust from shaking. You want to take a dry paper towel to wipe off.
4. Turn the lights on when you need them!

Easy project and you can reuse the vases, lights and fillers for another holiday!
