Have you ever thought about using caulk in a craft? Well think about it now! Caulk is perfect for molds because it is flexible when it dries. This is how you can make a DIY Dollar Store Candle Holder in 3D. Just grab some supplies from your dollar store and go to town. Don’t forget to pick up some candles there while you are at it.
This is a cute DIY craft to liven up a wall and to serve as a reminder to take a mask with you before you leave. But, what I like about this Don’t-Forget-Your-Mask Wall Art is that it can serve many purposes. Instead of masks, it can hold your keys. Or, in my house, we have three leashes for our one dog. It would be a great holder for the leashes under the words: Don’t Forget the Dog!
I had a recent conversation with my sister about the look of lattice. While it can be useful, it also is sort of plain looking on its own. But then I found this great tip. By using flowers from a dollar store and a little paint, a lattice wall can look … well, beautiful. Plus by using artificial flowers, you’ll never have to worry about them dying. See how beautiful and easy it can be to spruce up your lattice with this DIY Easy Colorful Fence?
The way this DIY Farmhouse Window Frame is made is ingenious! What looks like a distressed window frame from grandma’s farm is made from items you can get at a dollar store. This is a great decor item, especially if the theme of your home is country or Americana.
Before you dismiss this idea because it says DIY Rustic Christmas Ornament Jars, use your imagination. You can create your spring and summer decor using a little bit of creativity? Instead of putting Santa in the jar, why not add a flower or mermaid tail? You can hang them around your house or place them on your end tables.

A lot of neat decorating and simple DIY ideas but I have to say a resounding NO,NO, NO, to artificial flowers anywhere in the house. You just can’t turn tacky into elegant or even likeable . I am a senior so once upon a time, artificial flowers were in vogue but I never liked them! If I did these activities, I would definitely upgrade flowers to silk or natural materials. Spend more for a lovely looking craft as you are not changing the flowers every month. I DO use artificial flowers in arrangements in my outdoor deck rail planters. I am in a wheelchair and it saves me from having to attend to watering and replanting every year. I just remove them in the fall, give them a good water (hose) cleaning and store them for the winter!
