$5 Target Mini Wheelbarrow Decoration Redesign


Hello everyone. I hope that you are all doing well. Last week was a busy week for my household. We had lessons and appointments, and a lot of studying happened. With all of the hecticness going on, I was able to take a trip with my girls to one of our local Target stores. I found this super cute mini wheelbarrow in the dollar section during our trip there. This was five dollars, and I couldn't wait to come up with a craft to share with all of you.
This is a quick redesign project; you only need a few materials.

Adding painter's tape to the wheelbarrow

Stary by adding your painter's tape to your wheelbarrow. I applied my tape to the areas where I did not want my spray paint getting on.

After adding your tape, take your wheelbarrow and add your spray paint.

Begin to add your craft rocks to the inside of your wheelbarrow. I filled my wheelbarrow halfway with my craft rocks.

Take floral cutters and cut your succulents or flowers to size.
Once you have cut them to size, place them into your rocks. I used hot glue on the ends of each of my succulents to help keep them in place. This will prevent them from moving around and falling out when the wheelbarrow is moved.

That completes your wheelbarrow redesign. I love how easy it is to take an item, and completely change the look of it just by adding paint, flowers, or succulents. Did you enjoy this craft? Let me know in the comments below if you will be creating your very own. Thank you so much for stopping by. 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 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...
