DIY Dollar Tree Candle Decor

Hi everyone! I am back to share with you another "DIY Dollar Tree Project Idea". I know I have been doing a lot of Dollar Tree DIY and I never mentioned why. Well my husband and I are having our FIRST and ONLY house built and it will be our FOREVER HOME for us and our girls. So all of these DIY things I have been creating is for our new home. The one project that I will be sharing with you today is a "Candle Decor" project that I plan to put on the edges of our garden tub in the bathroom. But this "DIY Dollar Tree Candle Decor" can be use in other parts of the home and still look beautiful.

This is the vase that I found at Dollar Tree that I used for this project.

I also got this candle stick at Dollar Tree to make the Candle Decor taller.

To glue the candle stick and the vase together I used the E6000 glue. This glue (like I have said before) works great on glass projects.

This is how it look once I glued the vase and candle sticks together.

I wanted to add some color to this "Candle Decor" and also give the candle some height in the vase so I use these blue glass gems that I also got at Dollar Tree.

I put a toilet paper roll in the middle of the vase when I was putting the glass gems in so that I wouldn't need so many glass gems to get the height I wanted for the candle. (Sorry the picture was so dark, it was hard for me to get a good picture without a flash glare).

I then cut four slits in the toilet paper roll down to where the glass gems end so that I could fold it and tape it down.

I then took the toilet paper roll out and taped down the slits.

I then returned it back to the vase with the glass gems around it.

These are the candles that I used for this project and I also found them at Dollar Tree. I was going to use some taller candles I saw at Wal-Mart but I didn't like the look of how tall they were so I used these which was even better because these were just a dollar each and the ones at Wal-Mart were $3 each.

This is how they look. I can't wait to see how these will look in my bathroom on the garden tub. When I move into my house I will be having blog post on how I decorated and organize my house so stay tuned for those future post.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Valentine's Day Heart Gems Decor

YouTube Video

Hi everyone. For the past few days I have been sharing with you my Valentine's Day Decor ideas that I have made this year with dollar tree items. Here are the last two things that I created using Dollar Tree items. 

I have used these Gem hearts before for the Valentine's Day Heart Gems Counting  learning activity I have done with Bri during Preschool and Pre-K learning at home. (click on the link to take you to the post on the learning activity). This year I was going to use these gem hearts to decorate for Valentine's Day. I made two Valentine's Day Decor with these gems.

For the first Valentine's Day Decor, I used these two square vases.

I then filled this vase with the pink heart gems. It took two bags to fill the vase.

I picked these white roses to go with the pink heart gems.

I cut the stems so the flowers could be shorter and fit the vase nicely. This arrangement took two flower bunches.

For the next Gem decor I used this rimmed vase.

I took some green foam, cut it in half, and put it in the middle of the vase. I did this so I would not have to use so many heart gems to fill the vase.

I then filled this vase with the red heart gems.

I then took a white candle and put a red heart sticker on it to make it look more decorative.

I then placed the candle on top of the red heart gems.

This is how I placed my new Valentine's Day Decor on my mom's fireplace.

I hope you enjoyed all my DOLLAR TREE VALENTINE'S DAY DECOR ideas that I have been sharing with you this week. 

Please share with me in the comments section below some of your DIY Valentine's Day creations. I love to see them!

Valentine's Day Topiary

YouTube Video

Hi everyone I have another Valentine's Day Decor idea that I made that I wanted to share with you guys. This Valentine's Day Decor idea I found on Pinterest titled Candlestick Topiary tutorial (click on the title to go to the blog post). The blog post came from the website Stay at home Artist .I thought this decor was so Beautiful and so easy to recreate.

The materials you will need are a candle stick, foam ball, flowers, and craft glue. I got everything from Dollar Tree except the glue.

The first thing you do is glue the foam ball to the candle stick. I actually used E6000 glue for this part. Let the glue dry for 24 hours.

Take the flowers off their stem and put craft glue on the point of the flower.

Starting from the bottom, poke/stick the point of the flower into the foam ball. Make sure that you push the point of the flower all the way through into the foam ball. 

Keep pushing in the flowers from the bottom to the top in any pattern you choose. This one was mine and I choose to have the different color flowers alternating throughout.

This one was my mom's Topiary and she chose to have the different colors in rows. 

This is how my Valentine's Day Topiary looked on my mom's fireplace.

Valentine's Day Dollar Tree Apothecary Jars

YouTube Video

Hi everyone! So Valentine's Day is coming up and I wasn't going to decorate this year for Valentine's Day as I have done before because my family and I are staying at my parent's house until our house is built. But then I saw a post on Pinterest title 30 DIY Valentine Decorations Ideas (Click on title to go to the post) and I got inspired to decorate my moms house for Valentine's Day. One of the ideas I liked was how they filled some Apothecary Jars with Valentine's Day decorations. Since I just recently made my own Apothecary Jars, I thought this would be such a cute Valentine's Day Decor to recreate. If you would like to see the blog post on how to make your own Apothecary Jars click here ---> DIY Dollar Tree Apothecary Jars. I notice that some of the things they used to fill the jars with, I could get at Dollar Tree and I would come up with another way to fill the other jar.

The above pictures show all the Valentine's Day decorations that I purchased at Dollar Tree for this project.

This is one of the Apothecary Jars I made with Dollar Tree items.

I took the hearts off the sticks and put them inside this Apothecary Jar with the shredded papers.

Here is another Apothecary Jar I made.

To fill this one I used the hearts on the string and used one of the sticks from the small hearts to make it stand up in the jar.

This was another Apothecary Jar I made.

To fill this one I just used pink and red rose petals

This is how the Apothecary Jars look on my mom's fireplace. The other Valentine's Day Decor on the fireplace I will share in a future post.

I love how this Valentine's Day decoration came out. Please leave me a comment below on some of your favorite ways to decorate for Valentine's Day.
