Dollar Store Crafts and Hacks
Make your Dollar Tree finds look like a million bucks! The Dollar Tree has hands down the most affordable crafting essentials. They are honestly the most overlooked store, in my opinion. With tons of home goods, kitchen utensils, organization materials, and crafting products, there’s really no limit to what you can create! We’ve organized a great list of some of the most imaginative DIY Dollar Tree crafts. I can’t believe the supplies these creative bloggers used to turn dull into extraordinary! Best of all, they all are frugal… but they look expensive.
Why are things so cheap at Dollar Tree?
It’s no secret, things are just cheaper at the Dollar Tree — it’s literally a dollar (well, mostly). Dollar stores acquire cheap, liquidated goods, so you can still get the low price without them going out of business. As for crafts, there are tons of options for your kitchen and home DIY Dollar Tree crafts. They’ve got lamps, vases, cups, forks, spoons, knives, organization materials like dividers and binders, and even things for your bathroom! At the Dollar Tree, and at pretty much all dollar stores, there are DIY options for any room in your house!
