This month's fall fashion craft challenge sponsored by Dollar Tree was an exciting one for us because we love dollar store fashion projects! DIY fashionistas know that you don't have to spend a bundle to look great. We saw some great examples of that in the entries; are you ready to find out who won the $100 gift card prize?

Before we announce our favorite projects, let us introduce you to our guest judge! When we think DIY fashion, one of the first bloggers to come to mind us Kristen Turner from Glitter 'N Glue. She has all kinds of inexpensive, stylish projects that are timelessly trendy. Check out some of her ideas that we love:

[Embellished Sunglasses]

[Colorful Thread Wrap Bracelets]

[Ombre Straw Hat]

Like what you see? Make sure you check out her blog for countless more fabulous ideas!  With Kristen's help, we narrowed the field of entries down to our top five choices. [Insert customary drumroll here.]

[Jazzed Up Jeans by I Love 2 Dream, Do You?]

[Table Runner Handbag by Re-Creations]

[Fanny Pack by Glitter & Glue]

[Triple Circle Pendant Necklace by Simply Belle]

And our favorite project in this month's contest, nabbing a $100 Dollar Tree gift card, is...
