Using Dollar Tree Window Clings for Home Decor
Dollar Tree offers a variety of window clings that can be used to create lovely home decorations.
In this segment, several creative projects are showcased using these clings.
For the first project, a sign from Dollar Tree, even an older Easter design, becomes a charming decor piece.
To prepare the sign, it is painted with white chalk paint for a clean look. After it dries, window clings are added.
The phrase “with a grateful heart” is placed in the center, and adorable pumpkin images are arranged around the corners, covering any holes.
The final touch includes small flowers and leaves added for extra flair, with some sunflowers from a previous year to complete the design.
Next, a simple candle is transformed. Without needing any glue, window clings are placed right on the glass.
This decoration is easy and quick. To add more character, some jute twine is wrapped around the top with a bow.
The third project features a wooden tray. This tray, already painted white, uses the “gather together” phrase from the window clings on the front.
Decorative leaves are added for charm. It’s also possible to place a different cling on the back, making it versatile.
A photo frame project uses window clings creatively as well. This project starts with a frame lacking glass, giving it a different style.
Hobby Lobby fall paper decorates the frame’s backing. The cling saying “fall is in the air” is applied but needs a background to stand out.
Dollar Tree cardstock is used here, adding to the overall effect. To finish, some greenery and a small pumpkin embellish the frame.
These fun and simple projects show the versatility of Dollar Tree window clings. Each piece adds a personal touch to home decor and can be easily customized to fit different styles.
First Project: Transforming a Dollar Tree Sign
In this project, a Dollar Tree sign from Easter is used to create a beautiful home decor piece.
The first step involves painting the sign with white chalk paint, mixed with a bit of water for a washed-out effect. This step is optional; one could use the back of the sign without removing the old image for a cleaner look.
After the paint dries, it’s time to add the window clings. The design chosen features the phrase “with a grateful heart” in the center.
A glue stick or Mod Podge can be used for a more durable attachment. The sheet also includes lovely pumpkin images to place in each corner, effectively covering the sign’s holes.
The remaining images are flowers and leaves, arranged carefully before gluing them down. Extra plastic from each image is cut off to reduce shine. Sunflowers from the previous year add a cute touch.
To finish, some twine bows are added to the pumpkins. The end result is a charming transformation of a simple sign.
Another quick project uses a Dollar Tree white candle adorned with window clings. No glue is needed since the clings stick to the glass easily. The candle is decorated with a twine bow on the top. It turns out to be a lovely addition to the decor.
Next, a wood tray from Dollar Tree, already painted white, is decorated. The phrase “gather together” is used, attached with glue. Small leaves enhance the design, and the tray can be flipped to show either this phrase or “thankful and grateful.”
A photo frame without glass is utilized, featuring clothespins. Fall scrapbooking paper from Hobby Lobby decorates the backing. A window cling with the words “fall is in the air” adds charm.
To avoid blending, the cling is glued onto some Dollar Tree cardstock for better visibility.
Lastly, greenery is tied with fall picks and a small pumpkin added to the frame. A bow under the pumpkin completes the look. Each project demonstrates how simple items from Dollar Tree can be transformed into beautiful decorations.
Second Project: Decorative Candle
In this project, a simple white candle from Dollar Tree becomes a charming decorative piece.
The first step involves using window cleans, which adhere nicely to glass without any glue. They can be arranged in a way that looks appealing until the desired look is achieved.
Here’s how to decorate the candle:
- Choose Window Cleans: Select designs that fit the theme or season.
- Arrange Them: Place the window cleans around the candle as preferred.
- Add Twine: To finish off the look, a piece of jute twine with a bow is tied around the top of the candle.
The end result is an attractive candle that adds a touch of charm to any space.
Third Project: Wood Tray Makeover
In this project, she focuses on transforming a wood tray from Dollar Tree.
She begins with a tray she already painted white, but any color can be used. To enhance the tray’s appearance, she selects a window clean that features the phrase “gather together.”
To apply the design, she uses a purple glue stick that dries clear. She adds small leaf images around the phrase to create a decorative border.
She mentions that the back of the tray can also be decorated with another image saying “thankful” or “grateful,” allowing for versatility in display.
The final result showcases a charming wood tray that’s perfect for home decor. Its simple yet lovely design makes it an attractive addition to any space.
Fourth Project: Redesigning a Photo Frame
In this project, she used a photo frame from Dollar Tree that had no glass. This frame comes with little clothespins which are perfect for hanging photos. If someone picks a frame with glass, they can simply set the glass aside for this craft.
She chose some fall-themed scrapbooking paper from Hobby Lobby to line the back of the frame.
To add a bit more flair, she picked a window cling that says “fall is in the air.”
At first, it blended in too much with the background, so she opted for some Dollar Tree cardstock for a bolder look.
This cardstock had some glitter on it, but she used the plain side for her design.
After cutting a square of the cardstock, she adhered the “fall is in the air” image to the surface.
The frame can be displayed either vertically or horizontally, but she chose vertical so she could add some greenery to the bottom.
By gluing the image towards the top, she created space for her decorations.
For the finishing touches, she gathered two fall picks, tied them together, and topped them with a small pumpkin. A cute bow added some charm below the pumpkin.
The result was a beautiful and festive photo frame that perfectly captures the spirit of fall.
Closing Thoughts
In the video, the speaker introduces creative ideas for using Dollar Tree window cleans to make lovely home decorations. They showcase a variety of projects, emphasizing how simple and fun these crafts can be.
First, she takes an Easter sign and paints it with white chalk paint for a fresh look. After it dries, she adds the window cleans, including a central “grateful heart” and beautiful pumpkin images at each corner.
To give it a personal touch, she incorporates sunflowers from last year and finishes with twine bows on the pumpkins.
Next, she decorates a Dollar Tree candle by placing window cleans directly on the glass. This method requires no glue, making it quick and easy. A twine bow enhances the candle’s appearance.
Moving on, she repurposes a wood tray, already painted white. By using the “gather together” image from the window cleans, she adds charm to the tray. She also suggests that the tray can be decorated with a “thankful” or “grateful” message on the opposite side.
For a fourth project, the speaker transforms a photo frame into seasonal decor. Instead of using glass, she decorates the backing with fall-themed paper and a window clean that says “fall is in the air.” Adding greenery and a small pumpkin makes it even cuter.
