5 Dollar Tree Easter 2026 DIYs | Farmhouse Easter DIY Decor | Budget Friendly DIYs

Welcome back to my channel, The Crafty Quinn. Today I'm sharing five new Easter 2026 DIYs that combine classic spring colors with distressed finishes and cozy farmhouse details. So for most of these projects I'm using Dollar Tree items, but I also mixed in a few things I found on sale at Hobby Lobby and some really cute finds from Target dollar bins. So everything is still very budget friendly, easy to recreate, and perfect for refreshing your home for Easter without spending a ton. All right, we're diving into DIY number one here. So this is a carrot garland that I found at Dollar Tree and then this sign is also from Dollar Tree. I'm so glad they brought these back this year. So I'm not seeing them as much as I would like in my stores, so I don't know if they officially brought it back or it's just from last year, but I was lucky to score one of these signs because I love making things with them. So this is a carrot garland and what's great is that you can shift these carrots all around and they're not glued on the jute twine so they're easily movable for whatever you want to recreate. So I thought let's wrap this garland around and see if I can come up with a cool design for this. So I just kind of went ahead and moved all of the carrots closer to the top because I needed them a couple inches apart from each other, but I still needed plenty of space to wrap these in a zigzag pattern as well. So there's six carrots on this and when I first grabbed this I thought these were the six individual carrots, but they were not. So it's really easy to make that mistake because it looks like the exact same packaging. So adjust as you see fit, but I have spaces in between so I can add some letters. Next I grabbed these Dollar Tree letters and I placed them down where I wanted just so I could have spacing awareness for when I glue down these carrots. This was super helpful to this process and these word letters are definitely hard to come by now at Dollar Tree. It's so rare to see them. So I went ahead and linked some similar letters in my storefront on Amazon and I have them linked below in this video for easy reference. So that way you don't have to go hunt them down individually at Dollar Tree stores. So we're going to be using Waverly Plaster Paint for these letters here. I didn't want to go with like stark white even though it kind of looks like it in the video. It's not, I promise you. It's got a little bit of an ivory tone to it so I love using this neutral color a lot because it's not quite so bright. It's a good balance. So I painted all of the letters and then while I waited for them to dry I flipped the sign over and I took this, I don't know what you want to call it, like it's not buffalo check. It's kind of I guess gingham but it's like a neutral version, like a lighter color. The buffalo check with the darker colors was very, very in a few years ago when I first started crafting and now I feel like it's kind of shifted where you still like that plaid but you like it in lighter colors. I haven't seen a lot of folks use that dark buffalo check. So I kind of took it and I put the the ribbon on a bit of an angle for this just to make it fit over the bunny properly because it doesn't quite fit perfectly but I left a lot of slack on this ribbon to make sure I had a lot of area to glue down. And so when I first flipped it over I'm like, oh no it's diagonal, but I actually ended up really liking it so it was fine. So we're going to distress this. One of my favorite things to do with some Waverly Antique Wax and I use a I have those linked down below in the description of this video for you. I got a whole pack off of Amazon and it was just way easier but they're in all different sizes. It's wonderful. So I glued down each individual letter and then I glued down this jute bow and that's it. This is a super easy sign and I wouldn't necessarily put this outdoors unless you're somehow able to spray paint this or something like that but I think it's adorable to hang indoors so I have it over my pantry. DIY number two. I was so glad I found this wire Easter egg form again this year. This one was kind of bent out of shape but it still works. So I found this over in the floral garden section but I wonder if they have these over in the Easter section as well. I saw the Easter bunny ears one of this. I did grab one of those for a separate project. But anyway this ribbon I got this at Michael's and you might be able to find something similar online but I loved the thickness of this. This is two and a half inches thick. It was perfect for what I'm trying to do here. I love to just take ribbon and wrap it around a wreath form from Dollar Tree. I think it can still look so beautiful that way and so I just took some hot glue and I attached the ribbon. So this is my starting place. I love to put the ribbon starting place down at the bottom for this kind of thing because I put a lot of embellishments right there on the bottom and so you can kind of hide the area where you're starting from if it looks a little bit messy. It's the perfect spot. So this I would say this took the longest so I'm just kind of skipping past a lot of it because I don't want you guys have to watch the whole process but even you can just keep wrapping even when you get to the top. So I have them kind of spaced out like an inch apart from each other so I thought you know that way it still looks pretty thick and you can't see through it because this ribbon is a little bit transparent. So I thought if I just keep wrapping it then the thickness will you know it won't look as weird. You won't be able to see. I didn't want the wire to show through so this actually ended up working out really well. So I did have to adjust it because it looks all like bunchy and things like that so I just kept adjusting the ribbon until all of those weird bumps were gone but they do go away. I promise you this is not the final result as you can tell and I already fixed it. So I just cut it at the bottom there, left a lot of extra ribbon there, plenty of space for for being able to hot glue it down. I'm using Gorilla glue glue sticks for all of my projects. It has a nice hold and I can link that for you as well but I normally just grab it at Hobby Lobby. So I grabbed this Easter sign from Dollar Tree. I love this. You can use the bunny and the other pieces for so many other projects. I typically grab one of these every Easter because it's so versatile and then I just kind of thought it would look nice in the very middle of this because the colors were very similar. Kind of neutral but also very rustic and farmhouse. So I'm just gluing down all of the edges that lay on top of the ribbon and this is very very easy to attach. I just did the tail and the legs and then the face of the bunny and then that was it and it stayed in place. So next I took a separate pack of carrots. Obviously these are not the garland ones. They did come out with just the regular six pack of individual yarn carrots at Dollar Tree this year and I thought, you know what, I'm going to put down the carrots first and that way I can use those as reference for my happy spring sign. So the the white happy spring wooden words there, I think I got that from Joann's Fabrics before they closed unfortunately. So let me see if I can find one and I can link to it on Amazon here as well. It's getting harder and harder to find good items at craft stores and they keep closing down. So it's unfortunate but I end up looking on Amazon a lot or Hobby Lobby now. I think Hobby Lobby probably has something similar to this. So I just used my hot glue and just glued everything down. You could maybe put two more carrots on this if you want but I'm just doing four carrots and I thought everything was better spaced out that way but this is a super easy sign and you're already done. And then you can make a little jute hook on the back. I did do that because it was easier to hang it up for the photo for this craft. So this is the end result and I love the little metal piece on the ear. Another reason why I love this bunny. DIY number three. So these are pieces I got from Target. This is some of the things I mentioned I got from the dollar bins. This was three dollars through three carats and I mean it's kind of better priced than a dollar tree right now because dollar tree is like $1.25, $1.50 per carat so this ended up being a better deal and they're only slightly smaller. So this, I got this cute little, I don't know what it's supposed to be, I feel like it looks like a farm stand, flower shop stand, whatever you want to call it, but it's blank and it's a natural oak color so I thought let's paint the trellis of this. I did use just regular waverly white chalk paint for this. I love using those. They're quick to dry. That's my main go-to. I just thought it needed a small pop of color and I have another idea of how I'm going to use this for other spring crafts but more to come. So I took an egg carton for this because I do want to make it like a true farm stand and have some eggs. So just grab any of these from your fridge, whatever kind you want, but I definitely thought this was better than the foam for this kind of project for the rustic look. And then I took these dollar tree eggs. I got a huge, I think 12 or 24 pack of eggs and I couldn't find the speckled ones, unfortunately, but I know they have them but I needed the right size so I just grabbed these plastic ones and I'm using some white waverly chalk paint. The only downside to this is it does take quite a few layers of paint to coat these eggs completely so I had to keep coming back, wait for it to dry, do another layer, and I think I did three or four. So the time is not worth it. I would rather just pay a little bit more for eggs that are already done. So I'm going to be on the lookout for those if dollar tree does have them but here I am again doing the final layer of paint. I was not kidding. So I'm taking my chippy brush and I'm just trying to do speckles on this and what you don't see off camera is me speckling my wall because I forgot to set up some kind of tarp or something because when I was doing this it went everywhere. I was just flicking the end of the brush and it coated my wall so I had to wipe that down afterwards. So just make sure you move everything out of the way. Don't wear white clothes. All of that. So I've put the finished eggs in there and then this is some moss from Dollar Tree. It's the like really stiff annoying kind. I wish I could could have found their traditional Spanish moss but I haven't been able to find it lately and hopefully they are still selling it. These are some flowers from Dollar Tree. These faux lavender flowers. I love these. They still have great flower picks. I will say that. So I cut three pieces off of this and then I was taking this little planter cup. This is also from Dollar Tree. You get a whole pack of it for $1.50 or $1.25. I'm not even sure what the real prices are there anymore but it was perfect for this craft. So this is reindeer moss. I think I've just had this on hand for a while now and haven't had a chance to use it but I like to use this for my spring crafts but I love the reindeer moss. I was testing it out and it's it's got a very like dewy feel to it so it's kind of perfect and then it holds the little flowers in place nicely so it's perfect and then I just filled it up to the top and this is done. So then I put the eggs back. I put everything. I put the carrots in there at the bottom and then I took this farmhouse sticker. Dollar Tree came out with these stickers a couple years ago and I've just been holding on to them for the perfect occasion and it was a shame they didn't have a farm stand one. I would have loved that but I just thought farmhouse looks like Ray Dunn. I love the lettering on this. So this is a quick and easy craft and you can reuse this box for so many other things. DIY number four. So this is the other Easter sign that they have out right now. I grab this almost every year but I only grab it if I actually have an idea for it so I figured you know what let's try and do a cracked egg look to this. I was trying to do this craft years ago but I could never figure out how to cut these wooden ornaments from Dollar Tree so I thought you know what let's let's just try it see how it works. Miter shears did not work. An exacto knife did not work. Maybe maybe the ones I have are just not strong enough so I did have to get my husband's help to help me cut down these the cracked eggs which I will show you in the next clip. So once I use that finished one as my tracer then I got my husband to go in with his Dremel tool and just cut each one individually and what's interesting about this is this tool does burn the wood so besides it being very loud it's a little smelly because it does burn but it works perfectly for this craft and the noise honestly freaked me out so I was like please do this. So thank you Clint for the assist and once they are all cut and ready to go I'm just taking a little bit more of that plaster paint. I think I use plaster for this either way plaster white both works. So this color is called Summer Porch it is the uh what is it it's the plaid it's the folk art paint from plaid and it I'm pretty sure it is and like a chalk paint it has a chalk paint texture but I'm not sure I don't think it's acrylic because it dries very very quick but we are going to be taking more of our antique wax from Waverly and we are just going to distress this chick. This is one of my favorite things to do I love distressing so I love getting back to that and doing some traditional farmhouse crafts. So the chick I didn't paint the whole body of the chick I mean it was just a time saver and why would you need to because this little cracked egg is going to go on top so just distress that as well catching the edges of each and there you go. I love the distressed look and it gives a nice outline to the cracked egg. So now we are just going to glue the chick the chick and the egg together and finally this craft is almost done. So the Summer Porch paint I hadn't touched it in a while because it's normally a summer paint so when I first poured it out into the little paint tray there um it looks like an egg yolk because it was that um what's the word you know it was um yeah so once I got through all of that then the real paint color was underneath and I showed up the bottle and but I love this color I love use this using this for like lemon crafts and other summer crafts but it's the perfect color for this kind of thing and it's and like a it's not a bright yellow. So this Happy Easter these words I got these from Hobby Lobby while everything was 40% off. I love to grab things at Hobby Lobby while they're doing the 40% off sale I never like to buy anything full price there and when you oftentimes when you get the 40% off it ends up being some some of these items some of these little items could end up being cheaper than Dollar Tree right now because the prices are so absurd now. So this is Dollar Tree ribbon I love how I'm using all of these old things for my stash. I love this ribbon I wanted to do something you know kind of out there I just love the I don't know chevron pattern of this and then I did take another piece of burlap which was another Dollar Tree piece I think I think maybe they came out with this for the fall a couple years ago but it just seems like why did you know why are they not having great pieces like this anymore? So I did put all this together and I'm cinching the back now with some jute twine and I'm just trying to pull it as tight I'm pulling it so tight that it feels like I'm breaking it and my knuckles feel like they're turning white here but you gotta just cinch it as hard as you can and then I did like triple knot this because I wanted to make sure after I cut off the little string that it was not going to come apart. So then I'm just fluffing out the bow the legs of the bow here love how it turned out and then this just needs a little bit of glue at the top and this craft is basically done I just added the jute string back at the top and now it's a hanging sign again. I love this I love making this craft I did another version of this a few years ago so I'm going to link to my previous video where I did another uh option for this craft. DIY number five last but not least. So for this craft this is a Dollar Tree sign and for this I have to cut off the little fluffy tail because we are going to be painting this sign in a brand new color and I guess it's a little bit of a neutral farmhouse color if you will but this is I want to say this is the uh not hazel but it's like a like a toe oh it's called fawn from Waverly so this is another chalk paint I love this color because I've also used it for gingerbread crafts and I feel like it does work but it it's a little bit dark and you'll see once it starts drying this does come out much darker so for this I'm literally just tracing the outline of the bunny I just want to swap out the pink for this fun color so once everything is painted and you have filled in the lines then I mean if you went over the line which I definitely did you're going to be wanting to do this step just take a little bit of plaster paint or just white paint and take a small angled brush and the parts where you went over the line just go over that and just trace over it and then there you go you finish your you've uh covered up your mistakes on this so this is another one of those happy Easter signs from Hobby Lobby I swear I got a pack of like six of these for two bucks I mean not bad so I did use I think I used plaster for this one as well yeah yeah I definitely used the Waverly plaster chalk paint for this one and then I just glued a little cotton tail back on to the bunny and now we're just going to glue down these words as well I grabbed a whole bunch of beads originally I was just going to do larger wood beads for this and I found a pack of multi kinds of sizes of wooden beads off of Amazon so I have that linked below as well in the descriptions video so I ended up using larger size beads at first but then I decided to make a carrot bead so first we're going to make a little tassel here with some jute twine so I just wrapped it a bunch of times around my fingers and then once it has a loop there I did just tie it at the top and then that string that I tied it together with will be the main base for our tassel there so there is another piece of string kind of hanging off the edge and then I thought okay let's just use that and just kind of wrap it at the top and that's what holds everything together so that's how it gets the wrapped look at the top right above the tassel part and then you just glue that down and that holds everything together definitely use finger protectors when you can I'm not very good about that my hands I mean I wouldn't be surprised if I have no fingerprints left as so then you're just going to cut the loops at the bottom this was a little bit long so I definitely wanted to cut it shorter but the tassel is actually going to be the top of our wooden bead carrot so definitely grab some of these um what do you call them sticks from uh I guess wooden dowels or whatever you want to call them but um so I grabbed a pack of these from Dollar Tree and so I put the fatter ones at the top and then the smaller ones I just kind of went like large medium small and then extra small so I think I have about four sizes of beads on this carrot and luckily they all fit on the skewer that's the word I'm looking for skewer so I'm just going to glue the top of this so that the beads don't move and once everything is held in place then I'm holding it from the top there so everything does not slide down and I'm taking some Waverly pumpkin chalk paint I love this it's great for not only fall pumpkins but also for Easter carrots so I just tried to coat it completely it's definitely difficult when they all move around like that so I kind of hold my finger at the bottom and I have that hot glue holding them in place at the top and that holds them and keeps them from moving so it makes it a little bit easier to coat everything I've tried so many different methods with coating these beads I tried the plastic bag method and then it comes out very just the paint comes out kind of chunky on top of it so I don't like doing that so skewers it is so once everything's dry you just place it back on the string there and it doesn't matter how terrible the string looks at the bottom because we are not keeping that so I did make a little I guess hay bow if you will I grabbed one of those Hawaiian skirts from Dollar Tree every summer they come out with those I make sure to grab them because they become my raffia so I love making little bows with it and so I just kind of doubled it up a bunch of times and then cinched it in the middle with one of the ends and there you go you glue it together and you have a tiny little bow so we are just tying a knot here at the end of this carrot I did end up knotting it about three times so I decided let's just put this over the whole of the sign this is not going to be this type of hanging sign so I just decided you know let's just cover it up and then I glued the other end of this carrot I just really wanted it to hang off the side I couldn't find the best placement for it I tried it a bunch of times but I think this actually ended up working the best so now we're just going to glue down our small raffia bow and that's all there is to it this is the finished result I hope you guys love today's crafts I certainly had a lot of fun making them so please stay tuned for more 2026 Easter DIY decor more
