Dollar Store Frame Lantern

I love the dollar store! Whether it’s picking up a few necessities, a birthday card or gift bag, candy for the movies, giving the kids a few bucks to spend, or even finding some cute decor items I find myself there a lot. I can’t count the number of times I’ve used supplies from there to create crafts and home decor. Today’s theme is Dollar Store Crafts and I am looking forward to seeing what my fellow crafters come up with. Come join along.

Paper Feather Tutorial

By Dru Leave a Comment

Happy Fall Y’all! I am so enjoying the cooler weather, the changing leaves, and the thought of the holidays around the corner. Do you believe it’s already that time of year?

I finally completed my Halloween decorations which is a first for me. I’m usually waiting until the last second. While I’m on a roll I decided to get a head start on Thanksgiving. I don’t think I’m going to do much other than some pumpkins, leaves, and these paper feathers I’ve been making. Feathers and arrows are such a fun current trend. Here are a few I’ve finished that I think I will keep in my decor even after Thanksgiving.
