Are you tight on cash or just looking to stick to a budget? Then the dollar store is your best friend!
These organization, decoration, and other fun tips will have you MacGyvering your way to the home of your dreams in no time!
Shower Caddy Snack Packs
Use shower caddies to divvy up snacks for movie night at home. It’s a great way to keep everyone’s candy, drinks and popcorn organized – and separate!! Since everyone gets to have their own snack box, the only thing the kiddos will be fighting over is which movie to watch.
Picture Frame Terrarium
This mini terrarium looks like something that you’d buy at an expensive home decor store. But, believe it or not, it’s actually made from dollar store picture frames!
It’s as easy as gluing 4 frames together to form a cube. Then use a chop saw to cut the pieces of the frame for the pyramid on top. You can decorate the inside of this mini terrarium with candles, succulents, or whatever else strikes your fancy.

Fruity Dots
Turn color dot stickers into “fruit” like lemons, apples, and watermelon. Just cut the dots into half moons, then make the “seeds” with a fine-tipped black pen.
You can use these stickers to decorate things like bullet journals, handmade cards, or gifts.
Inexpensive Interior Design Hack
Use gold thumbtacks or pushpins to glam up old hand-me-down furniture. It’s perfect for those IKEA pieces that always end up looking rather plain after you assemble them.
The design possibilities here are endless. Use your imagination and have fun with it!
DIY Flower Wreath
You can easily craft your own flower wreath using a wire coat hanger and dollar store flowers. Bend the coat hanger into a circle and then start stringing like you do with popcorn at Christmas, but with flowers.
Pack on as many different blooms as you like! Each one will look totally unique, and will only set you back about $15.
Glass Bead Backsplash
The dollar store is a treasure trove of crafty items, and you can usually find glass beads or pebbles in the decoration aisle. Most people just stick them in glass jars and call it a day, but there are plenty of clever ways to use it.
Glue glass beads to your bookshelf to create a beautifully textured backsplash. What a neat accent feature!
