18 Brilliant Dollar Store Buys That Will Help Organize And Beautify Your Home

You won’t believe these eye-catching solutions started at the dollar store.

1. Plastic Elephant Book Ends

After spotting a pair of cute Labrador bookends at Pottery Barn Teen, blogger Liz decided to make her own for a fraction of the cost using plastic elephants from the dollar bin at Michael’s. All she needed to pull off the cute accessories for her kids’ playroom was a few blocks of wood, teal spray paint, and some wood glue.

2. DIY Wreath

Save yourself some money the next time you want to display a wreath and DIY it. Blogger Ananda from A Piece of Rainbow discovered a brilliant way to assemble a beautiful door decoration, using a dollar store laundry basket as a handy base.

3. Paneled Mirror

It’s hard to believe that this beautiful paneled mirror cost Dollar Store Crafts blogger Heather just $11 to make. Even better: No special tools are required to make it! All you need is duct tape and glue. If you think this mirror looks familiar, several high-end stores sell their own versions for a lot more than $10. (This one at Pottery Barn, for instance, is $299.)

5. Waste Basket

While buying stuff from the dollar store certainly saves you money, you don’t necessarily want your home to look like you got everything for a dollar. The bloggers over at Two It Yourself was looking for a simple solution to give their dollar store trash can a chic twist. Using leftover rope, they were able to replicate cans that can cost up to $50 for just $2.
