With that in mind, here are 21 budget-friendly Dollar Tree DIY projects you can easily do!
21. Easy Mummy Wreath DIY
The inspiration for this wreath came from a simple Paper Plate Mummy craft I made with my kids. You can check that craft out here. I loved the simple, fun look of that kids paper plate craft and decided to make a wreath version for my front door. Here’s what I bought at the Dollar Tree to make this wreath: 3 packages of creepy cloth, skeleton hands and google eyes.

19. Upcycled Bread Pan Planter
I love having fresh flowers in the house. But I also love crafting with silk flowers. It’s fun to make a centerpiece that will last for an entire season instead of just a few days. I’ve been wanting some kind of long and low that would be great for the kitchen table. I prefer shorter centerpieces when eating so that everyone can see each other, I think it makes the conversation easier. When I realized I had an old pan that I didn’t want to bake with anymore rather than toss it out I turned it into my ideal dining room centerpiece.
