Introduction

Welcome to the Crafty Cove, where we love to do farmhouse decor on a Dollar Tree budget. In this article, we will be discussing five DIY projects that are under five dollars each. These projects are inspired by popular decor dupes found on Amazon and Etsy. We will be showing you how to make these projects step by step, so you can create beautiful decor for your home without breaking the bank.

DIY Number One: Dollar Tree Riser

For this project, we will be making a riser using Dollar Tree items. We will be using four circles and a string of beads to create a beautiful farmhouse-style riser. First, we will glue the beads around one of the circles to give it stability. Then, we will use hot glue to attach the other circle on top. We will repeat this process to make two risers. Next, we will add three loose beads to the bottom of each riser to act as feet. Finally, we will paint the risers with Waverly wax in antique to give them a rustic look.

Pros: This project is easy to make and can be customized to fit any decor style. It is also very affordable, costing only a few dollars to make.

Cons: The risers may not be as sturdy as store-bought ones, and the beads may come loose over time.

DIY Number Two: Farmhouse Houses

For this project, we will be making farmhouse-style houses using Dollar Tree items and some paint. We will be painting two small houses and one medium-sized house with white Waverly chalk paint. Then, we will use popsicle sticks to create a roofline and paint it black. Next, we will stencil the letter "N" on one of the houses and add a "Welcome Home" rub-on transfer to another. Finally, we will glue the houses together to create a beautiful farmhouse-style decoration.

Pros: This project is easy to make and can be customized to fit any decor style. It is also very affordable, costing only a few dollars to make.

Cons: The houses may not be as sturdy as store-bought ones, and the paint may chip over time.

DIY Number Three: Barn Wood Tray

For this project, we will be making a tray using barn wood and some glue. We will be gluing four jumbo popsicle sticks to the bottom of two barn wood pieces to create a tray. Then, we will add some handles to the sides using extra hardware from a kitchen remodel. Finally, we will paint the tray with some white chalk paint to give it a rustic look.

Pros: This project is easy to make and can be customized to fit any decor style. It is also very affordable, costing only a few dollars to make.

Cons: The tray may not be as sturdy as store-bought ones, and the handles may not be as secure.

DIY Number Four: Lantern

For this project, we will be making a lantern using Dollar Tree items and some paint. We will be gluing two boxes together and adding dowel rods to create a lantern. Then, we will paint the lantern with a textured paint using white, gray, and black chalk paint. Next, we will add a candle holder to the top and some greenery to the bottom. Finally, we will tie a burlap bow around the lantern to complete the look.

Pros: This project is easy to make and can be customized to fit any decor style. It is also very affordable, costing only a few dollars to make.

Cons: The lantern may not be as sturdy as store-bought ones, and the paint may chip over time.

DIY Number Five: Home Decor

For this project, we will be making a home decor piece using a Dollar Tree box cutout and some paint. We will be distressing the box cutout with some sandpaper and water to give it a weathered look. Then, we will paint it with some light Waverly chalk paint and wet distress it again. Next, we will add a candlestick to the top and some greenery to the bottom. Finally, we will tie a burlap bow around the candlestick to complete the look.

Pros: This project is easy to make and can be customized to fit any decor style. It is also very affordable, costing only a few dollars to make.

Cons: The decor piece may not be as sturdy as store-bought ones, and the paint may chip over time.
