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.  

DIY Quick Artwork Using Dollar Tree Rub-On-Transfer

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

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...
