DOLLAR TREE CRAFTS ~Easter Bunny Decoupaged Wooden door hanger
I found this adorable Easter bunny wooden door hanger.
It is unfinished wood , and has a little jute tie for a hanger.
What I did is painted the back and sides with black craft paint. Then took a piece of leopard scrapbook paper and decoupaged it on with Dollar tree school glue...you could use Mod Podge also.
Just coat the top with glue/Mod podge, adhere your paper,then trim off the excess.
Coat the top with another layer, add a bow and a pom pom for the tail.
HOW STINKIN' CUTE, RIGHT????
Here is another one...just coat with glue and wrap it with fuzzy yarn...add a bow and pom pom...There are sooooo many variations with different yarn and paper you could use, let your imagination run wild!
HAPPY CRAFTING!

DOLLAR TREE CRAFTS painted eggs / beets and radishes
Ever have waaaay too many of those eggs you buy at Easter, or maybe they had bumps or dings, or maybe just outdated colors?
Don't throw them out...
You can repaint these and add a few silk greenery to the top, and use them all year round for decor...

DOLLAR TREE EASTER CRAFTS
O.k...so as some of you might know, my home is a Victorian farmhouse...no, not all that white and wood you find saturating the internet. Mine is a painted lady of sorts. She has a copper roof which is offset by her many colors of burnt orange, burgundy, green and gold.
As you might well imagine Easter and spring colors are quite the challenge for me. They do not look well against her coat of many colors. This year I decided to think out of the box on my decor. I have always loved Mackensie Childs decor, but was never willing to pay the price .
Hmmmm, well lets just see if the Dollar Tree has anything I could repaint and use...So off I went.
I found these cute little garden stakes that were the perfect size for my window boxes.
And this cute unpainted sign...
And a bunch of other stuff...
O.k....$30.00 later off I went to create...
