3 MODERN FARMHOUSE KITCHEN DIYS | DOLLAR TREE DIYS | BUDGET FRIENDLY DIYS | SUMMER REFRESH

Hey friends! Today's video is full of cute Dollar Tree kitchen decor DIYs and it's a giveaway for a brand new Cricut Joy and EasyPress Mini. So there's two chances to win. So stay tuned and listen for my question that you'll have to answer to be entered to win. Now let's get crafting. So first we have these adorable little glass jars I just got from Dollar Tree and I thought they were so cute and I just thought it'd be really fun to revamp these. Like the second I saw them and I saw that those had these little spaces right there where you can write stuff on them. I was like these are perfect for labels or to to make these you know labeled jars whatever you want. So first I started with my Cricut Joy and Marcus got a little freaked out by it. So he was just like what is this thing? So that's me stopping him from from attacking it. But the crafty kitty is fine I promise you. He's just a little bit spooked. You can see his ears moving. He thought it was alive I think. So anyway everything's fine. Crafty kitty is fine. Cricut Joy is fine. We're good. So after that I just pulled off the vinyl once I had this all printed out and I had them spaced right next to each other so I could use as much well as little vinyl as possible. I'm trying to get better at that because I'm a brand new Cricut Joy user myself. So um well brand new Cricut user in general. So Cricut Joy is perfect for me because it's small. It does it works great for small projects. So this is why like this I feel like the Cricut Joy is kind of like my gateway into other Cricut projects and products. So this has been a really really fun machine to work with. So it's great for for printing out labels like this. So those jars I took some Krylon Chalky Finish spray paint in the color Classic White and that's what I did to these jars right now. So they have a great texture, a nice chalky finish, just like the label says. So it was perfect for this project. So I just put my labels now onto my transfer tape and I'm definitely still learning how to get the vinyls onto that transfer tape. I don't know if I'm just not pressing hard enough down when when things are like ready to go onto the transfer tape. I don't know if I'm just not pressing down enough with my scraper tool or what but I'm I'm working on it. So this is definitely the trickiest part because these jars are rounded so just go slow. That is my advice because the second you get impatient then you can easily mess things up because you just want to get this thing on there. So I kind of started off with okay I'm going to get these two little letters on here first and then and then I was like okay well once those two letters are on then I can move the rest of the of the transfer tape around. So that was kind of what I ended up doing. I did one half and then once the one half was done then I kind of went to the other side and just slowly pressed down letter by letter because this was definitely tricky. What's great is that I didn't have to press down very hard with my fingers to actually get it to stick to the jar. So here is my plan for this jar, the salty jar. I have my pink Himalayan salt going in this one and this I actually found at Dollar Tree, this Himalayan salt packet. So it can definitely hold a lot which was great and then I put all my Splenda packets in here and I spray painted the lids with just regular black spray paint. And look how cute these are! I was like my vision has come to life! I adore these. So these are now on my kitchen countertop. I really wanted to do a lot of functional decor DIYs so like this was absolutely perfect. Now as I mentioned at the start of the video, this video is a giveaway. It's also a collab, the Summer Refresh Room by Room. So we have a playlist for you so you got to make sure to watch all the videos on the playlist. And what's great is that we are each doing a room so you get plenty of decor ideas, but so we each have a video for you and we each all have a question for you. So you have to answer our questions in the comment section of our videos to be entered to win in the giveaway. And we are going to pick the winner July 19th. So you have until July 19th at 11 59 p.m eastern standard time to enter the giveaway and comment on our videos to be entered. So we are mostly just trying to have this giveaway stick to people in the U.S. because it's definitely difficult to get these products shipped. So we are unfortunately limiting this giveaway to just people here in the U.S. So with that being said, my question for the giveaway is what season of decor is your favorite to decorate for? And not just season, what holiday is your absolute favorite to do decor for? Do you like to do fall DIYs or decor? Do you like to do Halloween? Do you like to do Christmas? Do you like to do Valentine's Day? What is your favorite season or holiday to decorate for? And mine is definitely fall, I will say that. So next up we have this, as you can see I'm already well into the process on this, but what this one is I'm trying to actually make a little grocery list board for my pantry that we just redid. So I took this 8x10 frame and I spray painted the frame as you just saw. I was outside just giving it a coat of white spray paint. I just really wanted to spray paint things for this video. I don't know why, but I used that same chalk paint spray paint for the last project for this, for the frame for this. It's the Krylon Chalky Finish classic white classic white color, classic white color. Oh my gosh, I can't talk today you guys, I'm so sorry. So I'm actually doing this to glass and you guys are gonna think I'm absolutely nuts for doing this, but I could not find another material to put for this board. So I'm using that the chalkboard paint and you can get that at Dollar Tree, they sell it there. And so I did a few layers of that and that's perfect for the chalkboard part, but for the corkboard here is where I didn't show this, but you're gonna have to do a few layers of corkboard to be able to actually push, you know, use push pins and have things pinned to this corkboard. I just did one layer because I was just showing it for the video, but if I want to actually go back and make this an actual working corkboard, I will. But I just wanted to have it nice for display for the video. But if you want to actually have stuff pinned to this, definitely use at least two to three layers of that corkboard. And that is the Dollar Tree corkboard. So it's adhesive, so it clung right away to that chalkboard paint, which was great. And then once all of those were put together, I just put it back in the frame. And funny enough, my husband actually dropped this when he was helping me hang it to the pantry, and then everything got cracked. Oh my gosh, it was just such a mess. So we do have the final shot in here somewhere, which I will show you, but I had to show you this quick video of Marcus staring at the Cricut Joy when I was printing out my vinyl. Oh my gosh, guys. So today was not my best day for crafting, I will say that. So I apologize at the chaos in this video. But anyway, so I printed out more vinyl for this, and I'm just going to call this Grocery List, because that is the purpose of this DIY. It's going to hang in our pantry, and it's going to be the perfect place to put things, to write things on this chalkboard of things that were out of in the pantry, and any coupons we can pin to the corkboard. So that's really the whole purpose of this. Sorry, you got a getting a great shot of my body here. I don't know why I was in the shot, but like I said, I apologize for the chaos of this video. So now this is what it looks like when it's actually hanging up in my pantry. So I just tied a little bit of twine, and I did reinforce this by taking some twine and some popsicle sticks, and that's how I hung this sign. But so you can actually, okay, so you can actually see that I did include the footage here. But basically what I did was, I decided not to hang it to the frame, but because when this frame fell, it split off in different pieces, so we had to like super glue it back together. But so, so I'm like, I don't trust the frame, I don't trust this hanging from the frame, so I'm going to reinforce this to the cardboard, over the twine, and to the frame. So this way it's definitely extra secure. So this is how it actually turns out. But I'm obsessed with this, and I can't wait to start using it. And I'm keeping the chalk elsewhere, but.

Got a spatula, got a whisk, got a spoon. So we are going to, we are going to turn this Easter cutting board. This is one of those Dollar Tree Easter cutting boards. I had snagged two, and I did do something with the other one. That's in an earlier Easter video, in my modern farmhouse Easter video. And I did all like black and white Easter farmhouse decor, so that was really fun. So I held on to this one not knowing what I was going to do with it, but I'm just taking some white Waverly chalk paint and just kind of going very very light with this. I thought it, I thought it'd be really fun to do kind of one of those like, I don't know, it kind of like looks like it's unfinished I guess. So I've been really wanting to try that style for a while, so I thought I'd give it a try on the cutting board and see how it turned out. And I actually really liked it, so I decided to leave it like this. I was like, do I paint the whole thing? Do I leave it like unfinished? And so I actually spray painted all of these tools and, well, utensils, whatever you want to call them. But they were all so small, I thought they were like meant for kids or something, but it turns out they're just actual like regular size things. But anyway, I spray painted all of them black with just regular black spray paint, and then I hot glued all of them down. And that was all they needed to to cling to this. They really held on nice. I guess the plastic, I guess, melted enough into the cutting board that it adhered great. So then I just made a tiny little bow, and I decided to put that on the handle of this. And then just like that, it's done. And then this is how it looked when it's all finished, and I really thought this looked like something you'd see at, I don't know, HomeGoods or something? So I really, really liked this one. And maybe this was my favorite project, I'm not sure. But thank you guys so much for watching.
