The easiest DIY farmhouse craft you’ll ever make

This little diy is the easiest and probably cheapest craft you’ll ever make! For $4.00 and less than 5 minutes of your time you’ll  have this cute farmhouse style galvanized tin with the prettiest artificial flowers I’ve seen on a long time!

I have previously used this floral in another project and loved it so much that I wanted more of it where see it and you can really enjoy how pretty this artificial floral bundle is. Personally I love fresh flowers and I’m usually disappointed in mostly anything artificial but as soon as I saw these I instantly loved them! Best part is they are only 97 cents each!

So I grabbed a couple and waited until I found the perfect container for them. Fast forward a day and one trip to the dollar tree and I find this adorable galvanized tin! All the Spring decor is out in full swing at the dollar tree and honestly it’s my favorite place right now!  They actually come in 2 different sizes of these galvanized tins. One is taller than the other. This one here for the decor is the taller one.

Also while your at the dollar tree grab this 2 pk of round foam. They are the perfect fit for the inside of the tin. No need for glue. Just press firmly and evenly down and wedge it in the tin. It’s like they were made to go together!

The only tool for this entire project is a pair of wire cutters or heavy duty construction grade scissors. You’ll snip each flower steam that branches off the main stem off. Make sure to snip as close to the main stem and as far down as possible.

Once you snip them off of the bunches stick each one into the piece of foam you have wedged in the galvanized tin. Make a circle around the outside using half the clippings. Place the other half of the clippings in the center of the foam making sure to spreading them out evenly.

This it! So simple, so quick and so cute! This has to be one of my all time favorite projects! So little time and so little money.

Below is a step by step picture toutrial of this Spring time farmhouse decor.

Here are all the supplies you’ll need

•1 tin
•1 2pk round foam
• 2 floral bunches 
• wire cutters 


Unwrap the round pieces of foam, take one piece out and wedge it evenly into the tin. 




Next take the wire cutters and snip off each floral steam that branches out from the main stem. Make sure to cut as far down to the main stem as possible. 



 Once you have each stem cut off stick them into the foam one at a time around the edge of the foam making a circle. Use about half the floral pieces around the edge and use the remaining pieces to fill in the center. Be sure to place them spread out filling in the center evenly.

Dollar Tree Shelf Liner Cricut Hack

Image
This little Cricut hack took my crafting to a whole new level! Since I have discovered this hack I haven’t used vinyl as a stencil since. I mean, why would I? This dollar tree shelf liner cost only $1.00 per roll and it’s 6 inches longer/wider. Below is a step by step walk through on how to make a simple wooden sign using the Dollar Tree shelf liner as a stencil and transfer tape. Get your rolls ready. Cut a piece from each roll to size for your stencil. Choose an image or saying for your stencil and cut with your Cricut or  Silhouette machine. I use the lowest setting for this. It’s a little thinner than vinyl. Remove the letters or image with a Cricut tool or similar tool you can buy on EBay , that’s where I got mine. Once you remove the letters set the stencil you’ve created aside. Take the clear shelf liner a.k.a transfer tape back off and place the transfer tape over your stencil. Take your time and make sure it’s lined up close to the same. Watch for

Spring is right around the corner it seems, especially where I live in PA it’s 50 degrees in January today! So needless to say I’m feeling like Spring today! I recently discovered that Lowe’s has packs of 10 paint sticks for only 99 cents! Naturally I know they are going to make a great addition to my DIY projects. So I grabbed a few and began brainstorming. This rustic looking floral HOME sign is my first paint stick project. There will be more to come, I already have tons of ideas that so want to try.  For this project you will need:  • 2 packs of paint sticks (totaling 20 sticks)  • An H, M and E wooden letter (I got mine from Walmart for 97 cents each)  • Paint (any color you choose really)  • Floral bunch of lilacs (again, from Walmart 97 cents)  • Hot glue gun and 2 glue sticks  If you’d like to watch my DIY YouTube video you can here   https://youtu.be/77AejbFOFcQ    or continue reading for step by step instructions  Here’s a quick pic of all the

Thrift Store Farmhouse Decor

This DIY was so simple to do and cost me less than $10.00! First let me say that pretty much any vase, bowl, candle holder and container can be transformed into beautiful farmhouse decor, all you need is some white paint! I’ve had this vase for quite some time and used to use it but I’ve been re doing rooms and it kinda got pushed into a closet and that was it. Then the other day while scrolling through Pinterest I saw a beautiful centerpiece with pretty flowers and thought, my big vase would be prefect! So I went to Walmart and bought one can of white spray paint, the cheap 99 cents kind of course. Then over to the Dollar Tree to check out their Spring floral collection. I ended up buying 4 bunches of purple lilac looking flowers ($4.00 total) and headed back home. The hardest part of this whole project was trying to find something tall enough and sturdy enough to place my vase on upside down to spray paint, it’s a rather large vase. I ended up using a big mason jar and 2
