$.99 Cent Only Store Finds

I recently took a trip to the $.99 Cent Only store in my area after a post that my friend Karen at DesertDealsDiva.com did about a recent find of Toy Story buddy packs http://www.desertdealsdiva.com/?p=5952 . Unfortunately, I couldn't find those but I did pick up a few neat things! Here are my dollar store finds:


Tulip Craft Mat, great if you craft on the go!

Cute headband to thread scarves through.

I love these crosses, I think they are a plaster material but not a bad deal for as much detail as they have!

Bento type lunch kits

Mickey Mouse pencil pouch for my daughter.

I also found a cute purple watch for my daughter for school.

This place is great for cheap finds and for putting goodie baskets together!

Dollar Tree Organizer: DIY Jewelry Holder

I have found that I have an overwhelming amount of jewelry and I needed something to hold my necklaces. This is an organizer that I bought at Dollar Tree. I turned this organizer into a jewelry holder with just some paint and glaze. I used Gloss Enamel from and Clear Gloss Glaze ( I love this coating) which I bought at Joann's Craft store. I painted 2 coats of the enamel and let them dry, then coated it with the glaze. After, I measured out the places on my wall I drilled the holes and I was done! It looks fabulous next to my handmade jewelry holder made from a picture frame.

Thrifty Thursday: Dollar Tree Finds

I wanted to share a few finds I found at Dollar Tree!

Polka dot plastic trays and matching plates, star shaped ice tray and plastic buckets. The buckets are great for organizing kids room or using for storing drinks at a party! I'm going to try to do an ice cream party this summer and the polka dotted party items were perfect. Dollar Tree also had blue colors too. I was able to find matching balloons at Hobby Lobby!
