one of you suggested I go over what craft supplies I like to get at Dollar
Tree so Michelle here it is
welcome to the Sewing Report I'm Jennifer Moore helping you discover your
love of sewing crafts and DIY projects and today we are talking Dollar Tree one
of my favorite new discount stores to hit up there is so much stuff there it's
a little bit overwhelming and I found quite a few things that are good for the
craft room so I want to share them with you I've got a few bags lots of stuff as
you know I've been building a dollhouse I also found some other items that I
think just would be good for your general crafting needs compared to the
hardware store you can get some great deals on comparable items paint brushes
this paint set which I've seen at Home Depot for like four or five dollars a
dollar at Dollar Tree and this comes with like a brush roller gloves tray so
this is an amazing deal and they usually have these at most of the locations I've
also hit up several different stores and I've noticed the selection can vary from
store to store so there are some things I've had to go out of the way for and
I'll go into that they've got these tacks of foam brushes these are great
although they have both of wooden and plastic handle varieties I personally
prefer the handles that are wood but I don't know it's there they're just
easier to use and I find they're better for whatever reason I got this ruler at
Dollar Tree clamps a really big pack of sandpaper this has like thirty six
pieces of sandpaper I haven't even tried to use it yet I got a tax literally a
hacksaw at Dollar Tree toothpicks which may be good for miniature projects and
I've also been using them to apply glue on the dollhouse so getting a dollar I
got these like needlenose pliers which I think will be great for working with
like wires which I definitely plan to do because I got another one of those mini
a DIY dollhouse kits and the other thing that I really love about Dollar Tree
although this is one item I haven't seen around lately a while back I got these
sanding blocks sanding sponges from Dollar Tree one side is medium grit
the other side is fine grit I like them this one I got from Home Depot and while
it does have a beveled edge this was like 350 or 4 dollars and this one was a
dollar the only bummer about this sanding sponge is that I've been to at
least two locations in the past week and neither of them had the sanding sponge I
really hope this item isn't going away because I think this is one of the
better bargains I found at Dollar Tree if you've seen these recently at a
Dollar Tree let me know and let me know the approximate location help out your
fellow Dollar Tree attics here but this is one of the I think best bargains in
the hardware section because again sanding blocks I didn't realize how
expensive they were I've seen these for up to five dollars each other places
this one's more on the crafty side but I got these glass beads it's they're
really good assortment two for a dollar each from the craft section I can think
of many uses for the beads and of course I've gotten some wood stuff from Dollar
Tree these crap popsicle sticks basically great for little crafts or
maybe for my dull housing addiction dollhouse furniture which is one of the
things that the miniature enthusiasts seem to be all about is the Dollar Tree
selection there they have beds tables these nightstands chests lots of
different things so I've managed to pick up quite a few of these dollhouse
furniture pieces for a dollar each and I plan to paint them that will be a future
video also when the craft section was this wood birdhouse kit I actually
didn't buy it for the birdhouse I bought it just for the wood just because I've
been trying to play around with Mickey miniature DIY furniture so I thought
this would just speak some fun you know raw materials for me to try and I found
these wooden dowels there one time as well so I got some of those so again I
do plan on trying to make some DIY miniature furniture type stuff so this
will be great for that if it's not obvious already on becoming a little bit
addicted to Dollar Tree anyways in the comments let me know what your favorite
items from Dollar Tree are one thing I'm gonna be on the lookout for I'm going to
be trying to find cheap like vinyl tablecloths I've heard
those are good for spreading down a near surface when you're maybe like painting
furniture pieces or working with your dollas I've been putting paper over my
work surface but a cheap tablecloth would work really well and I could keep
reusing it so that's another item that's on my list to find hope you enjoyed this
