Crafting on a Budget: Easy and Creative DIY Dollar Tree Ideas

My favorite way to craft is by gathering my supplies from DT because there are so many DIY Dollar Tree Craft Ideas out there and it’s cheap to get started.

I love shopping there and finding new things I can create.

Who would have thought that you could make so many things that come from DT. I had no clue for a long time.

I have listed many of the ones I have done so far below. I will be adding more to this list as I post them, so be sure to bookmark this page.
