Hi friends. Today I shared a Dollar Tree Haul video with clips of how I'm using the Dollar Tree products around my home. A lot of the stuff from the haul is Christmas decor, so I thought it would be fun to include Christmas Decor DIY into the video. 

This LOVE sign is from ALDI's and they had NOEL and JOY signs as well, but I thought love would work all year long. The sign is wooden with LED lights and cost $14.99. I thought the price was was fair because there would be no way to DIY it myself for cheaper. Aldi has some amazing Christmas Decor out right now, so run to your store and see if you have anything for your home.

This is an easy peasy DIY! I used Dollar Tree picture frames, wrapping paper and the a beautiful ornament from the Dollar Tree. I love the concept because you can tie in all the colors you're using and it doesn't break the bank. I did 2 of the same exact frames to use on the ledge we're using for our stockings.

This candle is from Aldi and it smells like a literal Christmas WONDERLAND! The price isn't as good as the fall candles, that they sold but they smell amazing! I'm sort of a candle snob, if it's not strong and burns slow, it's not for me. Aldi's has NEVER disappointed me on candles. This brand is Huntington Home and they had a few different Christmas scents. I totally forget the price but it was reasonable.

These Dollar Tree Stocking holders have to be some of my favorite Holiday finds! Dollar Tree is stepping up their modern glam pieces and I'm not mad, at all! They have really seen what was trendy and made decor that works. Mixing the Dollar tree items with a few other rustic glam pieces, really makes them look more expensive than they are.

DT bucket used to hold my thrifted mini tree! YASS! 

The beads are from Rite Aid and they also have a great seasonal section. They often have 50%off sales, so you can score things for much cheaper. After the holidays are over Rite Aid is one of my favorite places to go. These beads were $2 after 50%off. I'm not sure if they will stay there or if I will find another DIY for them. For now this section of my home is making me very happy. I didnt spend a ton but it looks fun, festive and that was my goal!

Our Christmas Tree including DIY Ornament Tip

Hi friends! Just when I thought I was back to posting regularly, I had to go drop my tablet in a sink full of water! I thought I was seeing things, like my tablet really couldn't just be sitting in water, It was. Luckily we had insurance and thats why I've been gone for so long. So lets keep our fingers crossed for no more issues!
I love seeing the way people decorate their Christmas tree. I would say our tree is an eclectic style, we have a variety of ornaments and special touches.  One great way to add your own touch is making your own ornaments.

What you do is purchase clear ornaments for any craft store. Stock up now! It's the perfect time since they'll be on sale, you can store them away until next year. Then get any color acrylic paint I will say this, glitter paint sucks! It was clumpy and too opague for what I wanted. Pick at least 3 different colors to give some variety. Now, all you have to do is place paint INSIDE the ornament, swirl it around to coat the entire inside. Beware that the paint will run before drying. You'll have one of a kind balls that give your tree an ecletic look.

I added glitter feathers, branch, pine cones and picture to the more traditional collectible ornaments. I love how our tree reflects our family. It's fun, laid back with a touch of traditional. I love seeing all the new trends this year, but when I look at our tree I see memories and that makes me happy!

I would love to see how you decorated Christmas tree! Leave a comment or tweet me below with your blog link,
