Easy DIY Metal Truck Floral Decoration

 Hello there! If you are new to my blog, welcome. My name is Stephanie and I enjoy creating affordable fun crafts and sharing them with all of you. Today we're decorating a metal truck. I found this metal truck from my local Dollar Tree for $3. I love these simple projects.  I'd love it if you checked out my recent craft.--DOLLAR TREE GALVANIZED HANGING FLOWER DECORATION. If you're ready to start decorating, let's begin.

Applying paint to the metal truck

Begin by taking your acrylic paint and your paintbrush and applying paint to your metal truck.
I applied around four coats of paint to the metal truck.

Next, using your smaller paintbrushes, apply your second color of paint to your truck. I used a pointy paintbrush when outlining areas on the metal truck. I also added my paint just above the wheel on each side.

After, you can begin to add your paint to the wheels of your truck. I added my light cream paint in the center of each wheel and later took my black chalk paint and applied it to the rest of the wheel. I needed around four coats of paint for this as well.

Adding moss and faux floral

You are now ready to add your moss to the bed of the metal truck. I decided to add just a little hot glue before adding my moss into the bed of the truck. You could just press the moss into the bed of the truck and skip the glue part.

All that is left is to cut sections of your faux flowers and greenery. After cutting your floral to size, take each section and begin to add them inside the bed of the truck. You can use a little hot glue to keep them in place. I used just a little on each of my floral pieces.

Your floral metal truck design is complete. I love how simple this project was. Be sure to let me know if you create your very own. I'll see you soon.

Quick Upcycled Bottle Decoration

 Upcycled Bottle Decoration Hello!  I hope that you're having a beautiful day. I recently created this simple upcycled bottle decoration, and I'd love to share this simple DIY craft with you. Materials needed for this project Flowers Twine One or two bottles Hot Glue or any other heavy-duty adhesive And Scissors The cost of this project is fairly cheap. The bottles that I am using are Cold brew Starbucks bottles, but you can use any bottle of your choice.  Each bottle was around $3. The twine and flowers were picked up from my local Dollar Tree, and they were $1 each.  I had everything else on hand.  So my total cost for this project was around $8.

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...
