For those who love a vintage aesthetic, this easy DIY turns a simple stool into a beautiful side table.

Materials Needed

• White stool
• Thrifted silver tray (wider than the stool)

Steps

1. Remove all plastic coverings and the black feet from the stool.
2. Find a tray that complements your style; a vintage silver tray works well.
3. Apply E6000 glue to the top of the stool.
4. Place the tray on top and let it dry for 24 hours.
5. Once dry, style it in your home as a functional and decorative piece.

For a rustic vintage look, an old drawer can serve as a tabletop when paired with a stool base.

Materials Needed

• Stool with removable top
• Vintage drawer
• E6000 glue
• Angle grinder (if necessary)

Steps

1. If the stool’s top is too large, remove it using an angle grinder.
2. Clean the vintage drawer, removing dust and debris.
3. Apply E6000 glue to the top of the stool legs.
4. Position the drawer on top and let it dry completely.
5. Once dry, decorate with plants or other stylish accessories.

DIY 3: Textured Planter Makeover

Liz also shares a creative way to elevate a Dollar Tree planter using a simple spackling technique.

Materials Needed

• Large Dollar Tree planter
• Plastic tiara (from the Dollar Tree spring section)
• Spackling
• Sandpaper
• Beige texture spray paint

Steps

1. Apply spackling to the back of the tiara and press it onto the planter to create petal shapes.
2. Continue layering petals around the planter in a symmetrical pattern.
3. Let the spackling dry completely overnight.
4. Sand the edges to smooth out rough spots.
5. Spray paint the exterior with a textured beige finish.
6. Let dry before styling with a plant.

These DIY projects prove that high-end looks can be achieved on a budget with a little creativity. Whether repurposing old furniture or giving inexpensive items a makeover, there are endless ways to customize décor. And for those who prefer a no-DIY option, Dollar Tree’s pre-made stool toppers offer an affordable alternative.
