Vintage Christmas DIYS Dollar Tree 🌲⛄

Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. Today's the start of my new Christmas series for the season. I created five adorable vintage DIYs, so I hope you guys enjoy this video. If you do, don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe. For the first project, we're going to use this little decor piece that I got from Dollar Tree. A little wood plank, also from Dollar Tree. I'm going to use some scrapbook paper. This came from Hobby Lobby. And I have this little gift bag that that I used last year. And it's not in the greatest shape, but I loved it and I wanted to use it in this DIY. So I'm just going to place it on that little wood plank, make some creases, and then cut it. To place it on the wood plank, I'm just going to apply some Mod Podge and then place the gift bag right over the top. It's not going to completely cover the wood plank, but we're going to take care of that a little later. Now I'm going to add a little more Mod Podge on the sides and a little bit on top. So now I'm going to do the same thing with the scrapbook paper, place it inside. Create some creases and then cut it. I love vintage DIY, especially for Christmas. I like the traditional classical Christmas as well. I'm just going to cut that scrapbook paper and then place it inside with some Mod Podge. This project comes out really cute, super easy. Now, my Dollar Tree has not put out any signs like this one that I'm using today. I got this a few years ago. I haven't seen anything there. I don't know what's going on with them, but they're not bringing back the really nice stuff they used to have. All right so now I'm just going to place that craft paper right inside. Now for those ends on that wood plank I'm just going to use some anti-wax or brown paint. I can't remember which one I used and I just wiped it off a little bit because I'm going to actually add some white glitter over it. I could have made it white but I was trying to make it more vintage. I'm also going to paint the outside on the wood plank. So I'm going to add a little bit of the Mod Podge on the wood plank and add some of that white glitter. I got that wood, I think I got that glitter at, I want to say Walmart, but I could have gotten it at Hobby Lobby, one of the two. Now I'm going to add some Mod Podge around the bottom, a little bit on the sides. I'm going to add some fake snow inside the frame. I'm not going to take that wood plank and just hot glue it right inside that frame. I went ahead and made a messy I'm starting to see Beau using some Home Spun, I guess it's called, but I call it Fabric. I believe I got this fabric from Hobby Lobby because Joanne's closed now. And like I said, I just made a cute little messy bow. I'm going to place it in the corner. I'm also going to use a green button and place that right in the middle. And I went ahead and created a little tag. These came from Dollar Tree. I just wrote out the word. It says, let it snow. Added a little bit of the antique wax around the front of it and kind of crinkle it. I'm going to place a little jute twine around. The inside and I'm going to attach it to the button at the top. Just going to wrap it and tie it off in a knot and this project is complete. Here's a little frame from Dollar Tree. I was going to use these but I changed my mind because they're too big. I used my Cricut but I'm not going to use that as well. I'm going to use this little Santa hat. I believe I got that from Dollar Tree and the Dollar Tree card. So I need to trace out that card. I'm going to place that Set frame right on top. Use my pencil, then I'm going to cut it out. This one's more of a vintage classic DIY, but it's really cute. So now I'm going to place the card in back. I'm just going to use my glue gun and place the card in back of the frame. This project is super cute. That card from Dollar Tree is adorable. Now I'm going to take that Santa hat. I'm just going to glue it to the top in the corner. Place it down with my glue gun. Now I'm going to glue down that little Santa hat, the tip of the Santa hat. Because it was flopping all over, so I'm just going to place a little glue to hold it in place. Now I took two Dollar Tree wood cubes, I'm just going to paint them red. And my camera shut off, and I didn't show it, but all I did was glue it inside. And then I placed the numbers 2 and 5 in front. And you'll see at the end, I'll show you what it looks like. I don't know, my camera decided to shut off when it wants to. And this is how it turned out, it's so cute! Alright, for this project, we're going to take these new trees that Dollar Tree came out. They're only a dollar. They're little metal trees. One's green, one's red. That's all they had. I'm going to use four Dollar Tree wood cubes for this project. I'm going to start off by using a little paper towel, a little bit of antique wax, just to dirty up those little cubes. I want them to look vintage. The trees are really cute as is, but I want to make them look more vintage. So I'm going to take a little bit of the Mod Podge. I'm going to add a little bit around the star, a little bit around the tree ends, and then I'm going to sprinkle some cinnamon. This is going to make it look kind of like rusty and old. Now I'm going to sprinkle some cinnamon all over the tree. Not only does it look really good, it also smells really great. So once it dries, I'm going to actually add a layer of Mod Podge over it, so this way it'll seal in that cinnamon, but I don't show it. I'm just letting you know what I did. I'm going to do the other one off camera. And this is what this one looks like with the cinnamon. Now I'm going to take those little cubes and wrap it with some fabric almost like a present. So I'm going to take a little piece, wrap it one direction, and then take another piece and wrap it the other direction. So I'm going to do all four the same way. You don't have to use any type of fabric. You can wrap it with jute twine or anything like that if you choose. I just decided to use the same fabric that I've been using through the whole video. And that's it for the presents. I'll do the rest off camera. Now for the bottom of the tree, I'm going to add just a little bit of the moss. I don't have any of that stuff that Hobby Lobby carries. I ran out, so I'm going to have to compensate and just use the moss. So I'm going to go ahead and glue a bunch down at the bottom, because I need to place the presents, and I can't leave it bare like that. I have to have something. So I'm just going to add more moss in the back, all the way around, trying to cover the green. Like I said, you don't have to use moss. Now I'm going to place down the presents. I'm just going to glue them. Right on top of that moss and like I said I'll do the other one off camera and that's pretty much it for this project. I think they came out really adorable. Okay for this one we're going to take a Dollar Tree wood shelf and I'm going to use a piece of scrap wood that I had in my stash and Dollar Tree came out with these really vintage looking Santa Claus napkins. I love them. So unfortunately my camera shut off, all I did was put Mod Podge down, cut the napkin and place it on top and just clean off the edges. Now I'm going to take that piece of scrap wood and I mix some brown and red paint. I'm just going to paint that, kind of like a burgundy color. So I'm going to be using this Dollar Tree ribbon, I'm just going to place a piece down at the bottom and then a piece at the top, just going to glue it down and I'm just going I'm just going to trim the ribbon ends. Then I was thinking maybe I should just paint the outside trim so I'm going to use the same paint that I used prior and just paint that as well. So I made a simple bow using this fabric and I'm just going to place it at the top and then I'm going to be using some greenery. It just took two pieces and I'm going to place it right underneath the bow. I also found this cute little bell. It's kind of like rustic looking and I thought it would be perfect for this project. I'm going to place that right in the middle of the bow. I'm also going to trim the bow a little bit because I think it's a little bit too long. Now I'm going to take that stand and add a little jangle block right on top because I need to place that little sign in front, so I need something to support it. I'm going to place a little glue, place the sign in front, and that is it for this project. For this one, I'm going to take some Dollar Tree Styrofoam balls, this peapod, and this fabric from Dollar Tree. So basically, I'm going to be wrapping. The styrofoam balls in this fabric. I'm going to place a Mod Podge on top and then I'm going to place the material or the fabric over it. Try to smooth it out as best as possible. Now it doesn't have to be perfect, but it should be somewhat smooth because you're going to be creating a face on the snowman. So at the ends, it doesn't matter because they're going to be hidden anyways. It does take a little bit of patience to get this right. And this is how it should look, nice and smooth. And then, like I said, the ends doesn't really matter. I'm going to tie it off with some jute twine. And then I'm going to cut it. And then, like I said, it's going to be hidden. One's going to be hidden under his hat. And then the other one's going to be in the peapod. So I'm going to do the other one off camera. So now this step is optional. I want to make my snowman kind of like old and weathered looking. So I'm going to use some antique wax. With a cloth and just kind of like dirty it up a little bit. I'm going to do the same thing to the peapod. Just going to add a little bit of the antique wax here and there. Make some spots. Dirty it up. Now I'm going to put the snowman together. I'm going to use a toothpick and place one in the middle. And then place the smaller head on top. So I'm going to use the eyes and nose off of one of Dollar Tree's snowmen. I just pull them out and they work perfect. So I'm going to place the two eyes on this snowman. And then I'm going to use the nose as well, but I'm going to paint that, because I didn't like it bright orange. I'm going to give it a coat of like a brownish color paint to tone down that orange. Here's the carrot nose I pulled off from One of Dollar Tree's Snowman. Like I said, I'm going to just give it a little coat of brown paint, tone it down. So now the nose is dry, I'm just going to place it on the snowman. And you can see off to the right, I made a snowman hat. Just use black craft paper. Uh, really easy. Just made a little circle, put a little hole in the middle, and made the top hat part. Just rolled it and glued it together. Real simple. Now this mouth, I used, um, a piece of the craft paper that I cut the hat out of, and I said, well let me just use it for the mouth, and it worked fine. Now I'm going to use two black, I think they're black, they might be brown, buttons from Dollar Tree. Just going to place two on its tummy. I wanted to add something in the pea pods, so I'm just going to take this page out of a book and just cut it in strips. I use a little bit of the raffia as well, so I'm just cutting it right now, and then I'm going to start placing everything inside. I do add a lot more off camera because once you place the snowman inside it kind of like smushes it down. So now I want to add some color to his cheeks. I could not find my makeup, the pink makeup, so I'm going to use a little bit of the paint. It's kind of like a darker pink. It's like almost like a burgundy. I think it looks a lot better than the pink. So the snowman needs a scarf. I just cut a little piece of that fabric. I'm just going to wrap it around his neck, glue it, and then place a little bit towards the right. and glue that down. I cut the ends to make it look frail. Is that the word frail? I think that's what it's called. Frizzy frizzy ends. So now I'm going to place the little snowman inside that peapod. Now I'm going to place this hat on top and like I said the ends that I tied off you're not going to see. I'm just going to cut it down just a little bit more so I make sure that hat will fit and then once I have it cut down I'm just going to go ahead and place it on top of the snowman I'm also going to add some arms and I went outside to look for some twigs. I couldn't find any, so I just pulled a few pieces off one of Dollar Tree's little flowers and I'm just going to place it on the sides. I'm going to use a toothpick to poke a hole and then place it inside. So I thought the snowman needed a tag, so I'm just going to take a little piece of a tag from Dollar Tree, just cut it, and I'm just going to write out the word burr. I couldn't find my black marker, so I'm just going to use a black pencil. I think it's almost like a marker, but it's not. I'm just going to, like I said, write out the word burr and use a piece of wired jute and place it right underneath his scarf. So now I decided to add some fabric to his hat. So I just took another piece of that fabric and I'm just going to glue it all the way around the top of his hat. Isn't he so cute? Now I'm going to place him right back to his peapod and that's it for this project. So cute. Well, that's it for this video, guys.
