The dollar store is definitely one of my favourite stores hands down. Their are so many Dollar Store Decor Hacks you can try. Why toss hundreds of dollars on items you can get for $1. This is my second dollar store post, check out my other article on Dollar Store Organizing Tricks and hacks.
I have complied 11 dollar store decor hacks to spruce up your home on a budget.
1. Head to your nearest dollar store and purchase a file box to help organize your home supplies.
2. A simple dollar store trash can be turn into a really nice night stand, now that’s a dollar store hack.
3. Make an elegant greenhouse out of picture frames.

Let me know if you have tried any of the DIY’S above and any other ideas not listed you have tried. I love seeing cheaper ways to decorate and organize on a budget.
I used photo frames and candle holders to make a bathroom tray for toothbrushes, makeup brushes, Q tips, etc. I took spray painted the entire frame silver including the glass silver to mimic a mirror. Arrange them in a V shape,and tie a bow around the center one to match decor. These were a huge hit. I was kind of jealous to not have made one for myself! If I could, I’d include the final image of how it turned out!
That’s awesome!!!! I would love to see it Lisa.
I use the glass marbles in a recycled jar to hold flowers or candles. Thank u
I have been looking for the trashcans featured in idea #2 for a LONG time. I haven’t even been able to find them on the Dollar Tree website. I need HELP!!
Any ideas? Does anybody know the name of this item so I can find it online? I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thank you
Hi Kim,
Unfortunately, I am unable to locate this item myself. Sometimes these items are sold for a limited of time and I believe this trash can was a different colour but then DIYed into turquoise. However, you can find similar trash cans online and repurpose it into a nightstand and spray paint it into your colour of choice. 🙂 Thank you for visiting.
How do i make the lampshades out of the wine glasses? Also would like to see a pic of the picture frames made into the holders for my bathroom and learn how to make them.

You have some of the most innovative projects I’ve seen, from the Dollar Store. I love the way you think. Thanks so much for passing on your talent.
I don’t know if this would really count as a DIY I think its more of a life hack but if your ever tired of putting plastic garbage bags in your trash because of the little holes they sometimes have, it’s easier just to put a more durable and heavy duty one in (the bigger white garbage bags in a smaller trash) and then just push it in and it holds all the trash you need, even in a small room trash.
