Sometimes, the most stunning pieces of decor come from the simplest materials. This DIY rope basket, reminiscent of those found at Pier 1, is a perfect example. It’s a delightful surprise that such a stylish basket can be crafted at home using items that are much more affordable.

For this creative Dollar Tree home decor project, gather these materials: Cotton Piping, Plastic Bins, and White Spray Paint (optional, in case your basket isn’t white).

Begin by deciding on the color scheme for your basket. If you fancy a pristine white look, leave the cotton piping as is. For a pop of color, dip the cotton piping in any paint color that suits your decor.

Next, using a hot glue gun, start wrapping the cotton piping around the plastic planting basket. Ensure the piping is secure as you craft your way around the basket.

The finished product is a charming, handcrafted rope basket perfect for storing throw blankets, magazines, kids’ toys, or even as a stylish plant holder. This Dollar Tree DIY project highlights the potential of Dollar Tree items to become high-end looking home decor pieces. So why not give it a try and add a touch of handmade elegance to your home decor?

Dollar Tree DIY: Elegant Candle Holders

A subtle ambiance can be achieved by incorporating candles into your décor. Interestingly, elegant candle holders can be made using Dollar Tree items. You’ll need: glass vases, salt, and candles, all of which can be purchased at your local Dollar Tree store. Filling the glass vase with salt and embedding the candle inside creates a tranquil, beachy ambiance. These DIY candle holders are perfect for your fireplace mantel or coffee table and demonstrate the versatile nature of Dollar Tree home décor.

Seasonal Burlap and Twine Wreaths: A Dollar Tree DIY Project

For this Dollar Tree DIY project, gather a wreath form, burlap, twine, faux fruit or berries, and seasonal leaves from your local Dollar Tree. Hang these on your door, wall, or window for a charming welcome to your guests.

DIY Elephant Bookends

These are my fave to make, especially for my kids’ rooms. You can use any plastic animals or dinosaurs you’d like. Just spray paint them the color that matches your decor and glue them onto a wooden block or some kind of base. Easy peasy Dollar Tree DIY!

Dollar Tree DIY: Minimalist-Style Metal Wreath

One way to bring a minimalist style into your home is by creating a unique, metallic wreath using a Dollar Tree hula hoop.

For this Dollar Tree DIY project, you’ll need a hula hoop, rose gold spray paint, and a bit of greenery. Begin by spray painting the hula hoop rose gold. Allow it to dry completely, creating a sleek and modern metal-looking wreath base.

Next, attach your chosen greenery to the bottom side of the wreath. This subtle touch of greenery, juxtaposed with the rose gold, offers a minimalist yet chic look. This idea showcases how a simple hula hoop can be transformed into a stylish piece of decor. Hang this minimalist-style wreath on a wall or patio and enjoy the contemporary feel it brings to your space.

To nobody’s surprise, there are a ton of books on Mason Jars. It makes sense because these are easily the most useful craft items that I come across.

These DIY Mason Jar organizers are simple to put together and you get to choose the color scheme you wish to use.

With just a few simple materials, you can create a more elegant centerpiece that combines the beauty of flowers with the warm glow of votive candles.

For this project, you’ll need wine glasses, votive candles, a mirror, and flowers. Start by flipping the wine glasses upside down and placing a flower of your choice inside each glass. On the flat bottom surface of each wine glass, carefully place a votive candle. The combination of the clear glass, the bright blooms, and the reflection of the flickering candlelight creates a captivating effect.

Grab some spice jars, and salt and pepper shakers, print out some labels, and bam, you’re good to go. What I love about this idea is that you don’t have to worry about different size spice jars which makes things look all crazy.

Instead, grab an expandable spice rack and you have not only great-looking spices but also a great-looking place to store them.
