Hey, Gifted Crafters! Welcome back to my channel. If you’re tuning In for the first time my name Is Nancy with GiftsHQ.
In one of my prior videos, I shared my Valentine’s Day Dollar Tree haul. Today, I want to show you what I made with those Items. and how you can make these simple projects too. I also want to reveal the makeover of my window dressing transformation.
So let’s get started! If you recall my window dressing was decorated for Christmas so I took all of that down and I started with a blank slate. As you can see I kept the window swag as my base and I added some pink and purple flowers from the Dollar Tree. This Is what I used as my center focal point. Then I took two of the mesh ribbons and I wrapped them loosely around the swag to give it that fuller effect. I also had some garland so I decided to use that as well and I grabbed my hot glue gun and added the hearts and love words. And voila!
I love the way it came out. It was pretty easy to pull together. The window dressing came out great.
But I wanted to add something to the sides. So I took the love wall hangings that I got from the Dollar Tree. And I used some apple berry paint on them. The colors that I used were flag red and pink blush. For the second one, for the letters I used white. Once that was dried I took some floral foam from my stash and also that was purchased from the Dollar Tree store. I did have to cut it down to size but then I inserted It. And once I had that in place. I took some flowers. Arranged them until I got the effect I wanted. And this Is what I ended up with. I think it looks great. And you can change up the flowers whenever you want to give it a new look.
Next, I took this home sign from the Dollar Tree and I painted it using the apple berry candy pink color. I took some glitter and sprinkled it on; in order to make the heart stand out. If you want to paint it a little darker, you can add a second coat. But I thought it was just fine exactly the way it was. You can either hang it up on the wall or place it on top of a surface.
Next, I took some vases that I got from the Dollar Tree. And I painted them using the apple berry white paint. Once that was dried, I added a coat of mod podge. And I wrapped them using tissue paper around the vase. I didn’t want it to have that perfect effect. So I let it wrinkle up so I could get the effect that I wanted. Once that was dried. I felt like it still needed something. So I took some decorative stickers and I added it to the top. And on the second vase I went with just a plain little pink ribbon. Then I just stuck some flowers inside and your project Is complete. Perfect to add to any side table.
With the wood heart cut out, I decided to just try a different effect. So I painted it black and I took the Dollar Tree window cling and placed it in the center. Then I took a handful of glitter and sprinkled it on round before it dried. And voila! There you go. Another wall hanging just so you can hang anywhere in your home.
Now I wanted to create a little gift for my kids. So I took the acrylic plastic flower pot from the Dollar Tree. And I painted it white. Once the paint dried, I added a layer of modge podge and then I laid another round of the tissue paper. Then I took the styrofoam heart shaped foam from the Dollar Tree and I painted it. I used apple berry paint called flag red. I grabbed the wood dowel and I painted that too. I also took some glitter and I sprinkled it around the heart just to give it a little bit of a better effect. Then I took the love sign and glued it to the center. I grabbed some floral foam from my stash. And I put that at the bottom. Then I took the embellishments and I took some pink tempura paint also from the Dollar Tree store. And I added some color to It. Once I did that, I stuck in the lollipops and all sorts of candy. And there you go, a quick gift for the kids. I’m sure they’re gonna love It.
I decided to add a few Items that I made using my sewing machine by taking some of the fabric from my stash and creating a pillow. First, I took some felt and I cut out the shape of a heart using a small wooden template that I had. I sewed the felt onto the fabric and then I sewed the sides using a quarter inch seam allowance. Leaving the hole and the top in order for me to add the stuffing. Once I was happy with the filling, I just finished sewing the hole and then that’s it. I had a cute little pillow that you could add to any couch.
I took the same Idea and made a mini version that can be used as a pin cushion. But for this I decided to use a decorative stitch. And then I used my pinking shears on the end to finish It off. Cute little handy gift for all your sewing friends.
I also had some extra fabric so I decided to make a few more pouches to hold some candy to give as a gift. Cut the heart out from some fabric that I had laying around and sewed that on. Then I just sewed the size to create the pouch and added some chocolate and of course some furry friends.
I had some fun striped fabric left over in my stash. So I decided to cut it out in a heart shape and take some heat transfer vinyl that I printed with my cricut maker. I just took the words hugs and kisses are my valentine wishes. And with my heat press I applied that to the fabric. Then I sewed it all the way around using a decorative stitch. Leaving a hole at the top for the stuffing. Then I used my pinking shears all the way around to give it that extra touch. I did the same process with some other fabric that I had on hand. It was just a simple red but these are just some cute Items that you can give away to anyone.
So that’s it. Just a few simple Ideas. I was able to make with my Dollar Tree haul and using a few Items that you might have lying around in your home. Let me know what you think of the
