Budget Friendly Crafts
DIY Owl Book Page Art
Don’t worry about what to do with old books anymore you can upcycle them into a book page craft. Amy with Atta Grils Says did just that and made an ADORABLE owl! I am sure there are tons of other animals you could make with all those old books you have laying around! Make your own today and it will be perfect to add to your fall decor.
DIY Throw Ladder For Beginners
OK, I am known to LOVE all the throws! When I saw this budget-friendly craft to make your own DIY Throw ladder by Dream A Little Bigger I knew I had to share it with ya’ll! What better way to display and hold all your pretty throws than a wooden ladder that only costs $6.00 to make!
DIY Dollar Tree Cake Stand
This is the PERFECT way to add height without breaking your budget! I used only dollar store items to make this DIY Dollar Tree Cake Stand and it only cost me a whopping 3.00 to make! Think of all the different cake stands you could make using different colors and your own creativity.
DIY Farmhouse Riser

These are such a cute and inexpensive way to add some height to your decor. You are going to LOVE how easy these are!! Thanks to Stacey from Wilshire Collections for sharing her idea and talents!
Dollar General Home Decor Sign Makeover
Do you remember my live on Facebook where I made this craft? I made over a $2 sign from the Dollar General. It was FUN and I think it turned out SUPER cute! You too can create your own! Just check out exactly how I turned a Dollar General premade sign into a beautiful Valentine Decor.
DIY Burlap Heart Banner
I love a good crafting project that costs absolutely nothing. With just last year’s sale items and some lace ribbon from the Dollar Tree, you too can have as much fun making this DIY heart banner as I did!
Dollar Tree Calendar Magnets
Using mini Jenga blocks and those sought-after Doller Tree calendars is all you need for this craft! Koti Beth made some ADORABLE magnets using all things from Dollar Tree. So next time you shop in the Dollar Tree be sure to check out the calendars. I am sure they will have a calendar you love that would make the CUEST magnets!!
Easy & Fun DIY Dollar Tree Tiered Tray
The best part about this BEAUTIFUL tiered tray is that it doesn’t cost much to make! Simply grab your supplies from the Dollar Tree and follow along as Love To Frugal teaches you how to create your own Tiered Tray. Having a decorated tiered tray can really add a beautiful piece of decor to any home
Colorful Chalkboard Calendar
There’s nothing quite like a bright and cheerful color to get your day started off on the right foot. When I saw this DIY Chalkboard Calendar by Haw Thorne, it was hard for me not to share with you all of its FANTASTIC features! Be sure to check out her tutorial. She shares step-by-step instructions that will make anyone feel confident in making their own calendar. No matter your crafting experience.
Personalized Rolling Pin
If you have a special recipe or note from a loved one that has passed then I am here to tell you that Carol with Bee Inspired knocked it out of the park! Changing old rolling pins into a unique piece of home decor that has meaning is the most FABULOUS idea ever! I love owning things that have meaning and what better thing to own than a rolling pin with your grandma’s recipe on it?

I’ve been following you for quite awhile now! I love to watch you craft. It relaxes me. I have two auto immune diseases and don’t get to do as much as I’d like, but when I can and am feeling good enough…I’ll do a little crafting. I also paint on canvas using acrylics. I just started back a couple years ago while I can still use my hands to be able to paint for my family. I love making things!! You are such an inspiration to myself and all your followers! I appreciate the time you spend online with us. God bless you and your family!
