Design your very own organizer using Dollar Tree Items

 Learn how to design and create your own personalized organizer using affordable Dollar Tree items. Get creative with materials and follow these easy DIY steps to make a unique and functional organizer for your home or office space.

Hi everyone! I hope that you are doing well. Recently I took a trip to my local Dollar Tree and found these stackable plastic organizers.

 Today we're going to design our very own organizer. To create your organizer you will only need a few materials. Most of my materials were purchased at my local Dollar Tree store. You will need three of the plastic organizing drawers.

Materials

THREE STACKABLE ORGANIZING DRAWERS 5X5X1.75 IN

ASSORTED FAUX PEARL BEADS

SMALL WOOD BEADS

PEEL AND STICK FLORAL DECALS

PEEL AND STICK DECORATIVE PAPER

HOT GLUE

PAINT- I'M USING ACRYLIC MULTI-SURFACE PAINT

SCISSORS

PAINTBRUSH

One pencil



Clear organizer drawer, paint, and one paintbrush


Start by taking your paint, and applying it to one of your plastic organizers. You will only apply paint on the top surface. I used my blow dryer between coats.  You will need around two coats of paint.

Afterward, take your floral peel-and-stick stickers, and begin to add them to the top painted section on your organizer.

Next, take your peel-and-stick decorative paper, and begin to trace the outline of one of your plastic organizers. Place your organizer on top of your decorative paper, and trace around it. After tracing it out, take your scissors and cut out the traced shape. In the end, you will end up with three decorative cut-out papers.

Begin to add each traced shape to your organizer drawers. Remove the backing, and gently press each one onto the bottom of your organizer drawer. If your paper is too big, just take your scissors and trim.

Flip only one of your drawers over. Take four of your wood beads and place each bead onto each bottom corner.  Your beads will act as legs on the bottom of your organizer. Apply hot glue onto each corner and add each bead.

Next, take each of your organizing drawers and stack them. I used hot glue since I wanted my drawers to not move around. I applied glue onto the four corners of my bottom and middle drawer. Your top drawer should end up being your painted drawer with your floral decal.

After you have stacked your plastic drawers, add your pearls to the top drawer.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...

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...
