DIY Quick Artwork Using Dollar Tree Rub-On-Transfer

 Hello everyone! 
How are you doing?  I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to share a quick project with you. Today we're taking one rub on transfer and we're going to create artwork.
I found this beautiful succulent/plant transfer at my local Dollar Tree. I was pleasantly surprised at their selection.

Materials

One Wooden Board
The size of the board I am using is 15''x10''
Rub-on transfer
I found this paper rub-on transfer at my local Dollar Tree
Acrylic paint
Paintbrush
You can use a rub-on tool or a pencil to gently transfer your art

Adding the art to the wooden board

Start by taking your transfer paper and adding it to your wooden board. I decided to use an eraser to rub on my art. Honestly, it is much easier to use a rub-on transfer tool when adding it to your wooden surface.

Adding Acrylic paint to transferred art

After adding your art transfer to your surface, you can begin to add your acrylic paint.  I wouldn't worry too much if your stencil doesn't go on completely, and if there are areas that did not fill in completely. Once the paint is added it will cover most of the areas that may have not completely adhered to the wood surface.

Add your favorite colors to your design. I decided to add a few darker pinks, light yellows, dark greens, and lighter greens as well. When adding on a lighter paint color, I just used a little water to thin out the paint.
I decided to add paint to the frame of my wooden board to finish it off.

Your art display is complete. I love that I was able to create a colorful art piece using one rub-on transfer from Dollar Tree. The next time you're at your local Dollar Tree, check out the rub on transfers they have added. 
Thank you so much for stopping by! I will see you soon.

  4. I swear there are more great ideas walking through dollar tree than going to a craft store...they sure have given us options! I'm addicted to the rolls of vinyl adhesive and their double stick tape. I will look for these transfer things next time!!! Sandi

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...
