Dollar Tree Hanging Heart Decoration

Are you looking for an affordable way to add some love to your home? Why not try making a Dollar Tree Hanging Heart Decoration? In this project, we will be creating a beautiful hanging heart decoration using a wooden heart plaque that I found at Dollar Tree last year. I will provide you with a material list below, and you can also find it in the video tutorial that I have included.

materials, twine, faux succulents, tissue paper, and Mod Podge

Materials needed

One wood heart decoration
Decorative tissue paper
Acrylic paint
Paintbrush
Mod Podge
Hot glue
Wooden beads
Twine or craft rope
Scissors
Optional craft gems
Faux floral
Pencil for tracing

Cutting and applying the decorative tissue paper

Begin by taking your decorative tissue paper, and cutting a small section of it. I cut a small square section of my tissue paper. You will need just enough to trace out the smaller heart in the middle of your plaque. Next, take your pencil and start to trace out your tissue paper on the smaller heart. Take your scissors and cut out the traced heart of tissue paper.

Mod Podge and wooden heart

Next, take your Mod Podge and apply Mod Podge to your smaller heart. After applying your Mod Podge, take your traced-out heart and add it over the Mod Podge surface. Smooth out your tissue paper. Use my blow dryer to help with drying and creating a smooth surface. After, take a second coat of Mod Podge and add it over the decorative paper. Repeat the above steps.

Next, take your acrylic paint and begin to add your paint onto the larger heart surface. I gave it around two coats of paint.

Adding faux flowers and leaves

You are now ready to add on your leaves and flowers. I chose some paper craft pressed leaves and my smaller succulent flowers. I added them using hot glue. I attached them to one section on the bottom of my heart plaque.

Adding embellishments

This is optional, but I added a few of my faux pearls around the smaller heart. Even though the pearls have a sticky backing,  I used my E6000 adhesive. I wanted to make sure that they would not fall off.

Adding beads and twine

Lastly, take your twine and begin to string on your wooden beads. You will want to determine how long you want your twine to be since this will be used for hanging the heart decoration. Depending on the size, you may not need to use many beads. My twine was medium-length. After adding my beads, I tied a knot on one end, took my scissors cut the twine on the other end, and then tied it off. I left a small amount of the twine on both ends of my knot. Flip your heart over, and using hot glue, attach your twine to the back, creating a loop.

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...
