Dollar Store Decor – Amazing Wall Art!
As I mentioned last week, I am joining in on Living with Lindsey’s Challenge.
The challenge is to make something decorative using only $5 worth of items from
the dollar store. Of course – as usual I overdid it and got $35 worth of stuff because
I couldn’t decide which project I wanted to do – so I am doing a few! I thought I would
post them in the next week and have you guys tell me what you think. I do ask that if
you are entering the same contest you don’t duplicate my projects 
Here is the one
I showed last week if you want to go take a look.
So here is what I started with for this project -
Two picture frames, two Matt’s, a package of little wooden shapes,
and a piece of scrapbooking paper I got for 0.29 at Michaels. The rules
say you can use glue, paint, or paper that you already have at home.
Here is a close up on the wooden shapes -
Total cost – five dollars.
I started by putting the Matt into the frame.
Then I taped a piece of the paper onto the cardboard back of the frame.
See how tacky I am – the price tag is still on the paper!
I swear I either the laziest crafter on earth or the most impatient!
I put one of the wooden shapes on the paper and figured out placement
by putting the frame over it and moving it around till I liked it.
Then I put the frame back together and it was done! I made two
of them and found the perfect spot for them in my living room -
I had a hard time getting a close up shot because they reflected so
much light off of the glass frames -
So – tell me what you think! Seriously, I would love to hear some feedback. My dorky blog has the
comment button up at the top of the post – Thanks so much for stopping
by The Little Brown Dollar Store House…… Stop back in later this week for another
Dollar Store Decor reveal!!
I am linking up to these site today- check them out for more thrifty goodness!

Your project looks fabulous…so easy and yet so chic. This was a fun challenge. I spent just about as much as you did at the Dollar Tree…so many possibilities!
