DIY Floral Love Truck. A simple Upcycled Craft

 Hello everyone! Happy February. I am so happy to begin a new month this year. How have you been? I hope you are all doing great. Today I am sharing another upcycled craft with you. I will be taking my Dollar Tree truck crate design and decorating it using a few materials. We will change the railing color, and add some twine and additional decorations.

Materials such as mini garland, paint, and twine on a table

Materials

If you are creating this craft for the first time, you will need one truck plaque and a wooden crate box. 
I purchased these two items at my local Dollar Tree. If you are upcycling this craft from a previous craft as I am, you are good to go.
Acrylic paint
Flower sticker
Felt hearts
Vine garland
Twine
Hot glue
Paintbrush
Faux flowers
One foam block



Applying paint to the truck railing

Start by applying paint to the truck railing. I had painted the railing black and decided with this new design that I would go with pink.

Removing the old sticker and adding the new design

Next, if your truck has a sticker from the previous design, remove it. For the new design, I wanted to add a flower sticker in place of the old sticker.

Cutting and attaching the twine

After, take your scissors and cut a section of twine. Use hot glue to attach the twine from one end of the railing to the other.

Adding felt hearts

Next, take your felt hearts and add them to your twine using hot glue.

Cutting and attaching your vine garland

Take your floral cutters and cut a section of your vine garland.  Take your vine and begin to wrap it around the top area of your railing.

I decided to add a thin layer of white acrylic paint to the wooden crate that my truck is attached to.
All that is left is to place your faux flowers into the wooden crate. I also used a foam block to insert my flowers into. I found it helpful when keeping my flowers in place.

Completed white truck design with faux floral, twine and red felt hearts

Your truck is now complete. If you would like to see how it was previously designed be sure to check it out here, DIY Wood Crate Floral Design.  This was such an easy upcycle craft and I love that it can be displayed with either Valentine's decor or even during Spring. Thank you for stopping by and creating this craft with me.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...

This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. Hello everyone! How was your week? Is the weather cooling off where you live? I hope you are all doing well. Thank you to those who took the time to check out our Milwaukee trip post; your kindness and thoughtfulness mean a lot to me.  Last weekend, the girls and I harvested peppers from the garden. Before we left for our trip to Milwaukee, we checked the garden and saw a few peppers; however, after our return, there were even more. This weekend, we'll be doing some organizing and making repairs on a cracked section of our front porch.   As always, I appreciate each of you and thank you for joining us here every week. I enjoy reading all of your posts and am grateful to have you as part of this community! The peppers we harvested from the garden Congratulations to our fe...

The Crazy Little Lovebirds Link Party 156

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #156! I'm so happy you're here! This gathering is all about sharing what brings us joy.  Bring your delicious recipes, fun family moments, cozy crafts, and home projects—basically, everything wonderful you've been working on. Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you’re doing well.  This week, we finally went to court about the damage to our fence. Honestly, no one likes to go to court, and we would have preferred to resolve this issue privately with the individual involved. He didn't cooperate, which ultimately led us to take him to court. We hope to finally move on from this situation. I can't wait to share the lovely featured posts with you all.  **Update** Looks like Blogger has fixed the comment section. Yay! Blogger is having some issues with commenting. It shows "publishing..." when the button is clicked and stays there for some time. As always, thank you all for joining! ⭐Congratulations to our fe...
