Organized Clutter's Ten Best DIY Projects of 2021

December 29, 2021

Photo of two painted and stenciled covered Dollar Tree Boxes.

These mini Dollar Tree boxes were upcycled in early 2021 with paint and Dollar Tree stencils.

I actually shared several Dollar Tree/Dollar General upcycle projects in 2021, partially due to the pandemic. I attended far fewer garage sales and paid less visits to thrift shops as well, but luckily Dollar Tree expanded its craft area.

These stenciled Dollar Tree reverse art canvas pictures were very inexpensive and easy with Dollar Tree art canvases.

Photo of a thrifted book painted and decorated with Dollar Tree rub on transfers.

Besides art canvases, paper mache boxes, and stencils, Dollar Tree also added rub-on transfers to its craft section. After painting a thrifted book, I rubbed the new Dollar Tree transfers on it.

Here I painted and stenciled Dollar Tree Easter egg cutouts! I love the white eggs with black pattern stencils.

I painted and stenciled these Dollar General egg cut outs and added metal stakes to them. Check out the tutorial in the link.

I picked up this burlap sack at Walmart, stenciled it with a stencil from Old Sign Stencils, and attached it to a fence picket! An easy wall pocket project.
