Hi everyone! Today, I'm excited to share a simple frame craft using Dollar Tree materials. We'll create an easy Spring frame design with one of their frames. I'll provide a complete materials list, and for those who prefer visual guidance, there will be a video tutorial to follow along with.
Video tutorial
Materials:
-4x4 plywood frame (I'm using the frame with the bead design around the front)
-One mini bunny wood decoration (I found a pack at Dollar Tree a few years ago)
-Acrylic paint for painting the bunny (I'm using brown acrylic paint), and light blue paint for the frame
-Spring embellishments - I'm using spring buttons and other decorations for my frame
-Peel-and-stick decorative wallpaper - I found a few new designs at Dollar Tree
-Hot glue
-Paintbrush or spongebrush
Removing the backing from the frame:
Before you begin, remove the backing and the glass. Set the back of the frame aside.
Preparing the peel-and-stick paper:
Flip the peel-and-stick paper over. I used the frame's paper insert and placed it on the paper. I traced the shape with a pencil.
I used scissors to cut out the shape on the peel-and-stick paper.
Remove the backing of the peel-and-stick paper and apply it to the insert. Note that the glass will not be placed back into the frame.
Applying paint to the frame:
I started with a sponge brush. I dabbed it in the light blue paint and applied it to the frame.
For smaller areas and between the bead design, I used a smaller paintbrush. Set it aside and allow it to dry, or use a heat tool to speed up the drying process. After the paint has dried, take the backing of the frame mount and reinsert it into the frame.
Painting the bunny decoration:
I used a small sponge brush to apply brown paint, thinned with water, to the bunny decoration.
Adding the bunny and other embellishments:
Lastly, I attached the bunny to the frame using hot glue.
I added a small flower button decoration to the bunny just below one of its ears. Additionally, I included a few smaller gem floral embellishments and a mini butterfly to the design.
That completes your spring frame decoration. I love how I transformed a Dollar Tree frame and gave it a completely new look using peel-and-stick paper, paint, and other decorations. I hope you enjoyed creating this simple DIY project with me. See you soon!

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 ...
This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him. Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one. Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...
I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...
I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project. Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
If you’re looking for a quick, beginner‑friendly craft, this hand‑painted clay trinket dish is such a sweet project. I’ll show you how to turn a simple clay blank into a petite floral dish with a glossy finish that’s perfect for holding rings, earrings, and tiny treasures. It’s a small DIY that comes together quickly and adds a charming, whimsical touch to any space. Watch the Video Tutorial Want to See the Process? I filmed the whole thing! You can watch the full painting process here: Materials I Used small clay trinket dish acrylic paint (green base + floral colors) fine detail brush gold paint Mod Podge (glossy) This dish started out completely plain. I love pieces like this because they’re basically a blank canvas, no pressure, just play. I chose a soft green base coat to give the florals something cozy and calm to sit on. Once the base was dry, I started building the design: stems and leaves first tiny pops of color for the flowers a thin black outline to make everything stand ou...
