When Debbie of Debbiedoos announced she was going to have a
Dollar Store Valentine's Day crafting party,
(wow, that's a mouthful)
I knew that I needed to get my wheels turning.
I have been a wallflower at too many parties lately, and
I refuse to watch any longer!
Off to the Dollar Tree I went.
Mind you, without a plan in sight.
(why would I ever have a plan?)
(why would I ever have a plan?)
I walked around the store for a while,
formulating a loose plan.
I ended up purchasing the following supplies:
C'mon now.
You're dying to know what I'm going to do with that orange,
aren't you?
heehee
Well, I got home and set to work.
Still not really knowing what I wanted to do,
I started folding the paper doilies,
just for the heck of it.
I grabbed some straight pins
and using that orange like a styrofoam ball,
I pinned all the doilies onto it
and ended up with this:
Pretty cute, huh?
Much better than that whole
pumpkin primping disaster, right?
(I know I shouldn't ever bring that up again,
let alone add a link to it!)
I'm thinking this might make a pretty
centerpiece for a Valentine's Day
tablescape and you know how much I love
tablescapes!
Believe it or not,
while I was folding all those doilies,
I actually came up with another
Valentine's Day craft idea.
I'll share that one with you soon.

Head on over to Debbiedoos
for more Valentine's Day craft ideas!
(I believe the party link will be up
Thursday morning.)
Enjoy the day, dear friends!
This is really cute! I love the Dollar Tree, but finding items that aren't plastic and cheap looking can be THE challenge sometimes. This looks like it came from a florist. Great job. xo
ReplyDeleteThis is cute....great job!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Can't wait to see the tablescape that you will do with it!
ReplyDeleteReally cute Gina. I haven't come up with a dollar tree craft yet.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I can't wait to see your Valentine's tablescape. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening Gina, We have the equivalent of the Dollar Store here in England....it is the Pound Shop, but I think I would struggle to finds such lovely items like yours. I love the idea of using the orange instead of a green oasis as it will make the glass much sturdier.
ReplyDeleteYou have made a very pretty arrangement which will be perfect for your Valentine Tablescape.
Have a lovely evening.
Best Wishes, Daphne
How adorable! Can't wait to see that tablescape. Enjoy your day, Gail

Gina, that is so cute!!! The Dollar Tree is really close to my house, and usually I only run in there to get giftbags, and I'm in a hurry and never look for anything else!
ReplyDeleteDebbie is probably going to kick my butt if I don't come up with a Dollar Tree craft, but I haven't left the house much lately....these antibiotics are tearing me up! :/

Clever and so cute! Now I would not have thought to use the orange. I'd have bought a styrofoam ball. Creative gal are you!
