Sorry if you are seeing this post twice. I tried to schedule the post and it didn’t work right!
Yesterday I talked about my trip to the Dollar Tree. Well it really was a fun trip. I saw so many
fun things with lots of possibilities. With all this inspiration abounding, Camera Phone Chronicles was born. I snapped some pics of the goodies I found while strolling the aisles of a local Dollar Tree. Some I bought, some I didn’t, but I saw potential with all of them.
#1- 140 jewel embellishments. I’m calling it a good deal. These are much more expensive at craft stores. Didn’t have a particular project in mind, so I passed, but it was awfully tempting.
#2 – These are cameo hair elastics. Probably wouldn’t leave them on the hair elastic, but Cameos are in. Hard to tell from the picture, but they had different backgrounds.
#3 – tiny decorative plates. I’m guessing about 3″-4″. Comes with a stand too. Can’t beat that. I bought one in green. Not certain what I will do with it, but something in miniature is too cute to pass up!
#4 – Decorative boxes. Mod Podge them over if you like, or use as is. Lots of possibilities here. These scream multi-functional to me. Mother’s Day gift wrapping and cute storage.
#5 – Took a picture, but can’t find it. 🙁 They had tons of wall hooks. All kinds of shapes and sizes. I’ve seen a lot of projects using hooks, so it wouldn’t be a bad supply to keep on hand.
I picked up a few more goodies that I didn’t officially chronicle. Be on the lookout! More affordable crafts coming soon.
Okay, there you have it. What have you seen at the Dollar Store recently?
I was just in Dollar Tree today… Got a giant Styrofoam plane for my son to decorate, put together, and fly with his dad, some spices (they have the best Italian seasoning ever) and a few other odds and ends! I want to go back next week and get some of the Luau stuff for my birthday BBQ!
Cute! I need to get over to the mesa store…ours is scary!
I cannot step foot in Dollar Tree without filling up a basket. It’s crafting without guilt! Today I bought ribbon, more magnets (the ones I doctored on my blog this week), wooden signs left over from Easter that are destined to be made over for my kiddos’ doors, and a mirror with a hideous frame that is begging to be decoupaged.
