This mobile is a great way to bring some mid-century modern into your home for less than a buck. Yep! I said a buck. In fact, if you work from materials in your stash, or your recycling bin, your only expense will be the two pennies you use to weigh the mobiles down.

Instructions: How to Make a Jointed Letter Banner

Using my template, you can create a custom banner that says ANYTHING and comes in any color or pattern you can imagine. Simply cut out individual letters and attach them together with brads. If you think you’ll use these templates a lot, cut them out of cardstock or laminate the paper before you cut them so you can use them again and again.

Instructions Here: Make Stenciled Decorator Tins

Make old timey tins with custom stencils from stuff from your dollar store! I saw tins like these at a certain design retailer whose initials are PB, and I knew I could make them for a dollar or less. I found the “No. 2” tin at the dollar store in the gift wrap section (it was formerly pink and flowery), and I had the square tin on hand, left over from a Christmas stocking goodie. You probably have tins that will work already (those metal Band-Aid boxes, anyone? Altoids tins? Cookie tins?), but if not, you can find plenty of interesting tins at the dollar store.

    Wow! Hi Friend,

    I found your site by accident looking for a stained glass craft. It is by far, today, my absolutely favorite find of the day! I call these type of moments, “kisses from God”. You are so clever! I always had a weird idea to have a superstar designer design my dream home with only items from the dollar store. You shame me with your goodness and fantastic ideas. I’m so glad to have found you. My personal motto is “poverty breeds ingenuity” You rock. Thanks for what you do to make so many people smile and have their own, awesome ah-ha moments!

    I have the printable for the mini matchbox covers, but not for the large ones that were featured in Country Living.

    The tutorial for the mini matchboxes is here: https://dollarstorecrafts.com/2011/02/mini-office-supply-bookcovers-for-matchboxes/
    And the printable is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B09ZSYYdS5htUjczQm1mYUVGajg/edit
