Create a festive and budget-friendly Christmas truck hanging decoration using items from the Dollar Tree. This DIY project will add a charming touch to your holiday decor.
Here's a simple and quick Christmas craft using a Truck plaque from Dollar Tree. Follow the material list below and let's get started!
Video tutorial
Materials
One truck plaque- I purchased my truck plaque at Dollar Tree
Paint- I'm using red, black, and green acrylic paint
Faux greenery
Hot glue
Faux snow
Twine or craft rope
Optional
Christmas light stickers, or any holiday sticker design
Paintbrush
Start by taking your truck plaque and adding your red paint.
Next, take your black paint and begin to paint the wheels of your truck.
After, take your green paint and begin to paint the bed of your truck plaque.
I decided to add my Christmas sticker lights onto the front side of my truck just below the bed of the truck.
I used my scissors and cut the size needed to fit on my truck plaque.
After, take your greenery and add it onto your truck. Using hot glue, begin to attach your greenery. Flip your truck plaque over, and start adding your hot glue. Be sure to protect your fingers when adding your greenery over your hot glue.
After, take your hot glue and begin to apply a thin layer of your glue onto your truck, and add on your faux snow.
You are now ready to add your twine. Carefully flip your truck over. Take your scissors and cut a section of your twine off. After, take your hot glue and add it to the back of your truck. Your twine will be used for hanging your design.
Your design is complete. If you would like you can add a Christmas sticker just below the window on your truck design. I added one, and I think it looks adorable.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and creating with me. I'll see you soon!

I created these magnetic faux succulent and floral lids using some metal jar tops that I had saved. With a little creativity, they transformed into charming, lightweight accents that add a pop of color and personality to the fridge. Each lid features its own tiny arrangement—part succulent and part floral—all crafted with intention and charm. This project is easy and budget-friendly, allowing you to use items you already have while adding a lovely touch to your home. Quick Video Tutorial Materials Metal jar lids (one large, one small) Letter beads (to spell LOVE ) Faux moss Faux succulents Faux vines Faux flowers (pink, green foliage, white accents) Hot glue gun and glue sticks Magnets I began with the larger metal lid, attaching small letter beads to spell out LOVE . This created a meaningful little focal point and set the tone for the rest of the design. Next, I glued a layer of faux moss along the bottom of the lid. The moss added softness and helped anchor the colorful...
