Dollar Tree Haul and Christmas Decor Tour

                   

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!

Chic Dollar Tree Pumpkin DIY | Electrical Tape Stripe Pumpkin



Hi friends! Happy Fall! It's time to start my Fall DIY series and I couldn't be more excited. Fall is one of my favorite seasons to do DIY's and crafts, so lets see what I can come with this year. I posted this video on Youtube (if you aren't subscribed, please do so and help me get to 10k before Christmas!!) I wanted to share my chic Dollar Tree pumpkins and how I use Dollar Tree pumpkins around my home for our fall decor




If you haven't been to your local Dollar Tree, I think you're truly missing out! They have all the decor and diy supplies you'll need this fall season. The flowers are beautiful, the ribbon is glitter-y and they have a ton of owl knick-knacks (YAZZZ!) Everything you'll see in these 3 projects is from the Dollar Tree (with the exception of the wreath).




When it comes to fall decor, I love a rustic feeling but I also want it to match with my current decor. So this fall I'm aiming for "Rustic Chic" Lots of natural materials but with black and white stripes and chic vibe. My favorite color is orange but GAWD, why is everything "fall themed" orange?!!? I don't want to slap you in the face with orange when you walk in my home, I want you to feel warm, cozy and ready for a fall themed beverage! Let's see how that works out this year and I know mainly everything will be affordable and home-made!




Be sure to watch the video above to see the before and after shots. You will get to see exactly what I used from the Dollar Tree. CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE and follow my blog because it will make me happy!

3 DOLLAR STORE ROOM DECOR DIYS





Hey Friend! Today's video is all about Dollar Tree diys. If you know me, you know I love me a good DIY project! I share 3 ways to use Dollar store products to make nice room decor pieces. If you've tried any of these projects let me know and share  with me using #sensationalfinds 

If you have joined me on Youtube, please come and join me! We just reached 7k subscribers and it literally makes my life, to be able to connect with so many amazing people. Click here 


This peacock wall art is such a simple diy. If your looking to add to  a gallery wall or just starting out,  this diy is for you! Full directions are in the video. 




How to make the paper flowers: 
  • Tissue paper
  • Wire
  • Florist tape
  • Stapler
  • Wire cutters
  • Scissors
  • Dollar Store flowers that have  medium/light green colored stems and leaves – not dark green stems.  You can even use real tree branches
1. Lay 5 layers of tissue paper cut to 8” x 11” on top of each other. Accordion fold

2. Find center and staple. Then wrap a 5” piece of wire around. Round edges with scissors.
3. Carefully begin to spread out each layer of tissue paper to start forming the flower.
4. Fluff so that most of the petals are to one side, unless you want to make pom-pom flowers to hang.
6. I poked the tip into the center of the tissue paper flower and then wrapped the wire around the stem to secure. You could also bend the tip of the fake flower stem to create a hook to wrap the flower and the wire around. I did a few each way. Cover the wire with florist tape.




The flower led lights is the last of the DIY's. This battery operated string of lights can be used just about anywhere in your house. The steps are so simple and I explain in the video.

HOW I ORGANIZE UNDER THE BATHROOM SINK| Sensational Finds








 Hi Friends! With Spring right around the corner, I'm in full organization mode. I'm tackling each "problem" area in my house, slowly but surely! Since having Quincy 9 months ago, we're noticing how cluttered our 2 bedroom apartment is. I decided to try to implement organization into our home, room by room. I took on the easiest area first, the bathroom!





We're lucky enough to have great counter space and that in turn gives us great under cabinet space. I'm really the only one that keep things under the sink, so I didn't have to worry about what worked for the family. For my home and family, it's important that things look  nice. This way we're more inclined to keep it looking nice. If everything has a "home" we all know where that home is and can put any items away, quickly. I feel like I was able to do this in this project, because my things are contained, labeled, and accessible.


These DIY Lazy Susan's are so popular right now and they work so well. All you need is 2 cake pans and 1 package of marbles. Add a little washi tape and a you have a cute and functional organizational piece.


I hope this project was able to give you some organization inspiration! I love to look and see how others organize, it's motivating and inspiring. Especially if it's budget friendly. Dollar Tree is the place to go when you want to organize using bins.  My second option would be Bed Bath and Beyond, this is because they offer a 20% off coupon so you can score some major deal.






What have you organized lately?
