Dollar Store Christmas Decorations

Sharing is caring!

Today it is time for another Dollar Store Christmas Decorations segment. I have been decorating with dollar store items for the last few years and love the challenge of making nice decor items and saving lots of money. I am happy to say that this post is sponsored by Dollar Tree.

I recently went to my neighborhood store to check out their supplies.

I ended up getting these items.

I wanted to make a nice inexpensive Christmas tablescape using the items.

Dollar Store Candles

First I took these glass vases and decorated them with glitter pens. I just drew swirls around the glass. It instantly updated these!

Then, I wanted to make a cute centerpiece using the foil trees. So I started by printing off the words Merry Christmas on cardstock.

I cut each letter out, making a little tag for each letter then punching a hole.

I then attached the letter bunting tags to create a banner on the string of bells.

These became this.

I used the gold pipe cleaners and wrapped them around the small clear holders twice around and tied together.

I then added my dollar store chargers for place settings and placed the dollar store ornaments on the napkins.

And those dollar store vases that I painted on? I added water to the vase and floated little candles on top.

    I LOVE the Dollar Store and I get a lot of items from there too. You did a fabulous job with the items you picked up. Especially like the glitter vase and the bells wrapped around your mantle vase.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
