There’s something so satisfying about giving new life to a craft you’ve already loved once before. This little heart-shaped decoration from Dollar Tree has already had its moment in the spotlight—first as part of a Valentine’s Day wreath, dressed in soft pinks and sweet charm. But as the seasons shift and winter settles in, it felt like the perfect time to transform this piece into something fresh, cozy, and winter‑inspired. If you enjoy upcycling as much as I do, this project is a wonderful reminder that our décor doesn’t have to be single‑season.
