Dollar Tree has definitely shown up this year regarding gardening supplies & decor. With their affordable prices, you can easily create a beautiful & bountiful garden without breaking the bank.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Garden Planters: They have so many cute planters in various sizes. They even have terracotta pots, which I love!

Storage Containers: I will talk about using Dollar Tree storage containers as mini greenhouses until the end of time because I love them so much! They can also be used to store gardening supplies in the off-season. They're such a good value!

Gardening Gloves & Tools: I'm constantly losing my gardening gloves & tools, so Dollar Tree always provides inexpensive replacements! They even have full-sized rakes this year!

Theme Decor: Dollar Tree spring/gardening theme decor is super cute this year. They have little signs to paint & hang up. They also have galvanized signs too! I even saw some gardening-themed ceramic paintable items for the kiddos. I'll definitely be getting my son some crafty things for his Easter basket this year!

 

Hey, Besties!

Are you in the mood to elevate your Halloween decor game? If so, you're in for a treat—or should I say, trick? Today, I'm sharing our hauntingly clever Dollar Tree Ghost Hack that took our Halloween landscape to the next level!

The Backstory: A Ghostly Dilemma

I discovered these irresistibly cute ghost decorations at Dollar Tree a few years back. Budget-friendly and oozing with Halloween charm, they seemed perfect. But hanging them up? That was a whole different story.

The Challenge: Ghosts on Strings? Not So Easy!

We initially tried to hang these adorable ghosts using strings, but let's just say it was more trick than treat. After several years in storage, we brought these spectral friends back to life.

The Solution: A Driveway Marker Makeover

Enter my ingenious husband, who had a brilliant idea. Why not use a driveway marker as the spine for our ghosts? It was a simple yet game-changing solution.

How We Did it:

1. Insert the driveway marker into the Styrofoam head concealed beneath the ghost's fabric.
2. Gently drape the fabric back around the ghost.
   
   

The Result: Ghosts with Personality!

With their new "spines," our ghosts took on a life of their own. They billowed and flowed in the wind, adding an extra layer of spookiness to our Halloween decor.

A Minor Hiccup: Windy Woes

We did face a small challenge: strong gusts occasionally caused the fabric to slip. But no worries—our setup ensured our ghosts stayed put!

Final Thoughts

Our Dollar Tree Ghost Hack was a hauntingly successful venture, and we couldn't be happier with the results. So, if you want to add some extra spook to your Halloween, try this hack!
