These dollar store crafts are easy and cheap to make, so jump right in!
1. Cupcake Stand
This is one of the most useful dollar store crafts you can make.
I call these cupcake stands, but really, you can use them for anything!
Pop one on your bathroom counter to store your jewelry, one on your dresser as a catchall for your trinkets or use it as a cupcake/pastry or appetizer serving tray!
They’re so cheap to make you can have several of them in various sizes all over your house to help keep you organized!
All you need are 3 plates and 2 candle holders, that’s a total of $5 for such a cute and functional craft!
Lay one plate down and use a strong glue to affix the first candle holder.
Lay the second plate on top, followed by the second candle stick and then the third plate.
You can use plates that are all the same size or a trio of gradually smaller and smaller plates.
You can even use mirrors, which most dollar stores carry in various sizes!
2. Cheap and Easy Focal Point Mirror
Isn’t this beautiful?
If you bought this in a store like Bed Bath &
Beyond or Crate &
Barrel you’d pay a pretty penny, but if you make a knock off version yourself, it only costs $20 (plus a little more if you don’t have duct tape or glue on hand).
To make this gorgeous piece you need 20 individual framed mirrors at $1 each and a foam board ($1).
Flip all of your mirrors over so that they are lying face down in 5 rows of 4 mirrors.
Use duct tape to tape each row of 4 together.
Use a LOT of tape!
Now tape the 5 rows together, making sure to reinforce the seams where they come together.
Slather the back with hot glue and affix your foam board.
Try to use a board that is the same color as your frames.
