Dollar Tree Tea Storage Tower

 



Hi everyone! Today we're creating a tea storage tower. This craft is beginner friendly, and we are only using just a few materials to create it.


Video tutorial



Materials needed

Two wooden crate boxes- Purchased at Dollar Tree

Four large popsicle sticks

Hot glue

Paint

Wooden craft hearts

Wood tile letters-Purchased at Walmart

Paintbrush



Start with taking your wood crate boxes, and applying paint.  Once you have applied paint, set your wood boxes aside. 



Take your four popsicle sticks, and apply paint to each of them. Be sure to apply the paint on the front, and back of each stick. 



Next, take your wood craft hearts, and apply your paint onto each heart. After applying paint, set them aside and allow them to completely dry.




You are now ready to start putting together your tower. Take your four popsicle sticks, and begin to glue them onto your boxes.

Lay your box down, and have the sides of your box facing up. Start to add your popsicle sticks onto both ends of your box. 


Once you have glued the popsicle sticks on one side of your box, flip your box over, and repeat this step on the other side of the box.  Repeat this step for your second box.






Now that all four popsicle sticks are on, you can now add your wood tile letters, and hearts.  Take some hot glue, add your hot glue to each tile, and add it to the front section of your crate. 


After you have glued on your letters if you choose you can now add your wooden hearts to the bottom crate. 




All that is left is to fill your tea storage tower with tea bags. I love how easy this project was, and I hope you do too! Let me know if you decide to create your very own. 

I'll see you soon!

How I Styled 6 Fall Trays Using Simple Reused Decor

  This fall, I wanted to challenge myself to decorate with just a few simple items—things most of us already have tucked away in our craft bins. With one round tray, a Dollar Tree lantern, a battery‑operated LED candle, a handful of faux florals, and a mix of Dollar Tree pumpkins, I created six different autumn looks. Each one feels cozy, seasonal, and unique, all without buying a bunch of new décor. My goal was to show how versatile your everyday pieces can be. By swapping out colors, textures, and small accents, you can build fresh designs that fit your style and your space. Watch the video tutorial Decorating Each Tray My First Tray: Classic Lantern & Autumn Florals For my first tray, I began by placing a round tray on a woven placemat to create a cozy base. Next, I placed the black lantern in the center and added a small LED candle inside. I figured this would provide a soft autumn glow that I love. I took yellow faux florals and arranged them around the lantern to brighten...

Transforming a Dollar Tree Metal Home Sign with Paint

Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality. Watch the Video Tutorial Video tutorial  Materials Dollar Tree metal HOME sign (Crafter’s Square) Black FolkArt Matte Acrylic Paint Light green Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Coral Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Light pink paint Dark green Paintbrushes (flat and detail brushes) I started by applying a black base coat to the entire sign. Using a small, pointed-tip brush, I carefully reached all the tiny areas around the leaves and buds. I applied three coats of black paint, drying each layer with my heat tool. This step creates a clean, even surface and helps the top colors stand out beautifully. Next, I u...

Easy DIY Metal Tea Container Redesign

 Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I'm excited to share a quick upcycled DIY project with you today. I will be transforming a tea container that I recently finished and reusing it to store tea bags. I wanted to give it a fresh new look. This project requires Mod Podge, paint, and other materials. Video tutorial Materials: - One tea container - Decorative tissue paper, wrapping paper, or napkin - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Mod Podge - Embellishments (e.g., wooden bead, hot glue)   Adding Decorative Paper and Mod Podge: For this project, I chose to use floral wrapping paper. I started by applying Mod Podge to the tin can with my paintbrush. Then, I placed the wrapping paper over the Mod Podge, working my way around the container. I used a heating tool to dry the Mod Podge as I went along. Decorating the Lid: After that, I painted the metal lid with acrylic paint, applying around three coats to achieve good coverage. I used cut-outs from the decorative wrapping pap...
