It's been really hard getting into our local thrift store lately. I've been itching for projects, so I've returned to old faithful: Dollar Tree.
In fact, every project I'm sharing in this post was made using items from Dollar Tree. And, of course, things I have in my craft room.

You may recognize this faux sugar mold candleholder from an older post. It was a thrift store find from 2 years ago. I had originally painted it a robin's nest blue. After being in the elements, it sorely needed an update...
After sanding off the blue paint and original wood stain, I had a nice clean palette to work with. I gave it a couple of coats of white craft paint.
Once the paint was dry, I added these fun rub-on transfers from Dollar Tree. I love anything with numbers, and this really seemed to fit the bill.
I love how it turned out! And it only cost $1 for the rub-on transfers. Stay tuned for more Dollar Tree makeovers.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!

Who's ready for spring and warmer days?! I know I am! I've already packed away the bulky sweaters, and now I'm ready for something more like this! Here are the deets:
Walmart Peplum Top, $11.98;
Levi's 721 Jeans, $49.99;
Halogen Leopard Print Mules, $37.99;
Bubble Necklace, $18.
Don't forget, you can follow me in the LikeToKnow.It app (@okiobdesigns) for more affordable outfit ideas.

Don't you just love a good steal versus splurge DIY? I love the look of these galvanized hanging planters. I do NOT love the $40 price tag. So, like any good DIYer...
I made my own for a fraction of the price! Everything you see here - including the planters - is from Dollar Tree. Yes, you read that correctly. Each contains 4 faux succulents (you could probably add more) and fake moss (which I already had from a previous Dollar Tree visit). My version costs just $5 per hanger.
I'm so in love with how they came out that I'll probably head back and grab some more.
