2. Make a DIY Dollar Tree snow globe decoration ($5 for one globe).

You’ll never have to worry about your kids breaking this snow globe (at least that’s the goal).

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• Faux snow ($1.25)
• Plastic snow globe ($1.25)
• Bottle brush trees ($1.25 for 3)
• Glittery ribbon ($1.25, 144-in roll)

What you’ll do:

• Fill the ball with faux snow and insert the base.
• Screw on the bottom and hot glue ribbon in place to dress it up.

 

3. DIY Dollar Tree Christmas crafts: Turn flameless tea light candles into snowman ornaments ($10 for 6).

You can easily make several of these tea light snowman ornaments because (other than the tea lights) you’ll have lots of materials left over. To make the materials stretch, opt for buying a large box of candles. For instance, Walmart has a 6-pack of flameless lights for about $4, which is only $0.60 each. So technically you can make six of these for about $10, or $1.70 each.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• Flameless tea light candle ($1.25 for 3)
• Pom-pom balls ($1.25 for 80 or 90-count bag)
• Pipe cleaners ($1.25, 45 pieces)
• Googly eyes ($1.25, 125 pieces)
• Glittery ribbon ($1.25, 144-in roll)
• Black permanent marker
• String ($1.25, 5-pack)
• Hot glue and hot glue gun

What you’ll do:

1. Use hot glue to attach pipe cleaner and pom-poms to a tea light to make tiny earmuffs.
2. Add googly eyes and then draw on your snowman’s mouth with a Sharpie.
3. Wrap a piece of thin ribbon around the bottom to make a scarf.
4. Attach a string for hanging your snowman ornament.

 

4. Create Dollar Tree Christmas decorations with old mason jars to decorate your holiday table ($11.25 for 3).

Using canning jars for DIY Dollar Tree Christmas crafts is a no-brainer because they’re convenient, cheap, and always turn into something I can use next year.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• Glass canning jars ($1.25 each) or repurposed jars
• Mod Podge ($1.25)
• Foam brush ($1.25 for 8-pack)
• Epsom salt ($1.25 for 6-count tablets)
• Glitter
• Greenery ($1.25)
• Colored twine ($1.25 for 3-pack)
• Flameless tea light candle ($1.25 for 3)
• Hot glue and hot glue gun

What you’ll do:

1. In a disposable bowl or cup, mix Epsom salt and glitter.
2. Apply an even layer of Mod Podge on the exterior of your jar. Be careful not to layer it on too thick to avoid it dripping once the Epsom salt glitter mixture is applied.
3. Sprinkle the Epsom salt glitter on the mason jar until it’s completely covered. For easy cleanup, do this over a paper plate to catch any excess. Place the jar on wax paper and allow it to dry overnight.
4. When the glue is completely dry, wrap twine around the mouth of your mason jar and attach faux greenery with a dab of hot glue.
5. Insert a flameless tea light into the jar, and use this Dollar Tree Christmas decoration on your table as a holiday centerpiece, on your mantel, or on your front porch.

 

5. Make light bulb Christmas ornaments out of burned-out light bulbs ($11.50 for 10).

Never let another burned out Christmas light bulb go to waste. Reuse them or find them for cheap at Dollar Tree. This craft comes to about $1.15 per bulb if you’re painting ten.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• C7 or C9 light bulbs (10-pack for $9)
• Mod Podge ($1.25)
• Spray adhesive glue ($1.25)
• Paint brush
• Glitter (in all your favorite colors)
• String
• Hot glue and hot glue gun

What you’ll do:

1. Use a paintbrush to apply an even layer of Mod Podge to the exterior of your bulb.
2. Dump glitter, found in the craft section of the Dollar Tree, over the glue, making sure the entire bulb is covered. Allow it to dry for 30 minutes.
3. To avoid a huge glittery mess (you know the kind I’m talking about) carefully spray each bulb with a spray adhesive. This will prevent all of the glitter coming off when the bulbs are touched!
4. Once it’s completely dry, attach a string to the neck of the light bulb Christmas ornament and hang it on your tree!

 

 

6. Use paint and glitter to make an unbreakable DIY Christmas village ($6.75).

Actual village pieces are made of ceramic and are not only expensive but also very fragile. Save money and create a Christmas village your kids won’t break by using plastic village pieces!

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• Dollar Tree village pieces ($1.25, 62 pieces)
• Flameless tea light candle ($1.25 for 3)
• Mod Podge ($1.25)
• White spray paint ($3, Walmart)
• Paintbrush
• Glitter

What you’ll do:

1. Following the directions on your spray paint can, apply several even coats of spray paint to your plastic Christmas village pieces.
2. Once the paint has completely dried, apply Mod Podge where you want it — I applied mine only to the areas that were previously white with snow — and then sprinkle on a layer of white glitter.
3. Put a flameless tea light candle beneath each building and display your new village pieces for everyone to enjoy.

 

7. Transform a regular Christmas ball ornament into a Santa ornament ($7 each).

This is one of those DIY Dollar Tree Christmas crafts that comes together pretty quickly and is also quite impressive to look out.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• Large red Christmas ball ornament ($1.25)
• Black glitter paper ($1.25)
• Gold glitter paper ($1.25)
• Craft knife ($1.25)
• Ruler
• Hot glue and hot glue gun

What you’ll do:

1. Use a craft knife and ruler to cut a strip of black glitter paper 1.5″ thick to make your belt.
2. Create a buckle by cutting a square out of thick gold glitter paper. Carefully cut out the center of the buckle, making sure the belt fills it completely.
3. Assemble the belt with hot glue and attach it to your ball ornament.

 

8. Make your own jingle bell napkin rings and skip the expense (starting at $5.50).

Since Dollar Tree sells bells of various sizes, the cost of this craft may vary depending how big or small your bells are. You’ll likely need 20-30 bells to make one dinner napkin ring.

Dollar Tree Supplies you’ll need:

• 2 sizes of bells in desired colors ($1.25 per 20, 32, or 50-count bags)
• Wire ($3, Michaels)
• Needle-nose pliers ($1.25) (Borrow one or ask a friend!)
• Dinner napkins

What you’ll do:

1. String jingle bells onto the wire alternating the pattern by size — for example, one large and two small, repeated until there are 10 large and 20 small bells on the wire.
2. Cut the wire and use the pliers to twist ends tightly together, forming the napkin ring.

 

9. Turn a Christmas tin into a gift card holder decoration that can hang on your tree ($2.50 each).

Just like the other crafts here, take inventory of what you have first or borrow an item from a friend or family member. Of course, whatever you buy (like tissue paper or ribbon) can be used for other DIY projects.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• Small Christmas gift box or tin ($1.25 each)
• Ornament hook ($1.25, 300 hooks)
• Ribbon
• Tissue paper

• Place a gift card inside the holder (honestly, you could opt for candy or a piece of fancy jewelry too).
• Add an ornament hook, and on Christmas Eve when Santa comes, hang it on your tree as an alternative to a boring envelope which is usually how gift cards are presented.

10. Make easy snowman candles (starting at $4.25).

Pillar candles are only $1.25 at Dollar Tree and you can decorate them any affordable way you like. Look for buttons, ribbons, or stickers at home. If you draw a face, you should opt for the suggested paint pens because they’re a no-mess way to write on glass. Plus, the tip is larger. Permanent markers can bleed and not properly adhere to glass.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• White candle ($1.25)
• Black and orange paint pens ($3 each)
• Pipe cleaners (45-count for $1.25)
• Holiday ribbon ($1.25)

• Tie a ribbon just above the pipe cleaners for a scarf.
• Use paint pens to draw your snowman’s face, and finish off your snowman candle by hot gluing buttons in place.

 

 

11. Make a star ornament Christmas craft out of wooden dowels and twine ($3.25 for 10).

Finding wooden dowels at Dollar Tree can really depend on your store. I found a 50-pack of dowels at Walmart for about $2.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

• Wooden dowels ($2, 50-pack, Walmart)
• Colored twine ($1.25, 3-pack)
• Hot glue and hot glue gun

What you’ll do:

• Use hot glue to assemble the dowels into a star shape.
• Once the glue is completely dry, wrap the twine around the star ornament, varying the pattern as you go.

 

12. Build a winter terrarium globe tree farm ($7.50 for 3).

Non-plant terrariums are all the rage! Make your own winter terrarium globe tree farm by filling small Dollar Tree fish bowls with bottle brush trees and faux snow.

For something extra fun, take a kids’ toy car or truck and tie a small tree on with twine. Display it as a table centerpiece or on your fireplace mantel.

Dollar Tree supplies you’ll need:

14. Make DIY Christmas ornaments that look like vintage sleds (starting at $6.75).

I feel like every household has a random stash or craft sticks just dying to be used for something (how about DIY Dollar Tree Christmas crafts!). The decorations can be leftover holiday items (although I included the price), but you will need the wood glue to keep the sticks together.

• Craft sticks (5 short and 2 long for each sled)
• Foam brush or paintbrush
• Wood glue ($3, Amazon)
• Faux greenery ($1.25) (Or, find some outside)
• 2 sizes of bells in desired colors ($1.25 per 20, 32, or 50-count bags)
• Colored twine ($1.25, 3-pack)
• Paint
• Hot glue and hot glue gun

What you’ll do:

1. Use wood glue to attach four of the short craft sticks together to make the seat of the sled.
2. Once the glue is dry, paint or stain two long craft sticks brown for the runners.

5. Attach faux greenery with hot glue and string jingle bells to the top before adding a string so you can hang the ornament on your tree.
