Hello everyone! Today, I will show you how to decorate a sled from Dollar Tree. You can find these adorable sleds at your local Dollar Tree or create your own. We’ll use simple materials such as acrylic paint, craft gems, and gold letters. As always, I’ll include a materials list below.

  • Acrylic paint
  • Craft gems
  • Gold letters
  • Paintbrush
  • Mini bow
  • Hot glue
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive

Materials such as mini bows, gold letters, wooden sled, paintbrush and paint

Applying acrylic paint to the wooden sled
To begin decorating your sled, take your paintbrush and apply acrylic paint to the wooden surface. You can choose any color you like. I used a darker green color to go along with my Christmas decor.

Adding craft gems to the sled

Next, take your craft gems and begin to add them to your sled. The craft gems I am using are from Dollar Tree, and they come in strips with a sticky backing. And they do require you to cut them to the size of your liking. After cutting your craft gem strips, take each strip and begin to add it to the sled. If you find that the adhesive on the back of the gems is not strong enough, you can use a little extra adhesive to ensure that the gems stay in place.

Adding the mini bow to the sled

The final step is to add a mini bow to your sled. I used a red mini bow and placed it in the top corner of the sled. This completes your Christmas hanging sled design.

2 Easy Ways to Upcycle Glass Jars into DIY Candle Lanterns

I love taking something I already have around the house and giving it a little new life. These two jars started out plain and simple, but with a bit of gallery glass paint, a few butterfly stickers, and some gems, they turned into the sweetest little candle holders. They’re soft, colorful, and full of that handmade charm — the kind of gift that feels personal and thoughtful without being tied to any specific occasion. I used battery‑operated candles inside each jar, which gives them a warm, cozy glow while keeping things safe and easy. They’re perfect for gifting or adding a gentle touch of light to your own space. Video tutorial coming soon... Sometimes the smallest projects bring the softest kind of joy. In today’s quick video, I’m sharing how I decorated a few glass candle holders using paint, stickers, and little gem accents. It’s an easy, calming DIY that adds a warm glow to any corner of your home. I hope it inspires you to create something simple and beautiful for your own spac...
