My friend Beckie at Infarrantly Creative is known for her amazing “roadside rescues” but last week she created a sweet dollar store homage to The Wizard of Oz. Can you spot the dollar store element? She found some glass slipper party favors in the wedding section of Dollar Tree and transformed them into ruby slippers. I love the creativity! She made a cute frame for a beloved family photo, but this idea would be fun for a Wizard of Oz-themed party or shower, too. [how to make a ruby slipper frame]

Project Estimate:

Frame, $1
Glass slipper party favors, $1
Red acrylic paint, on hand
Fine red glitter, on hand or $1 (I have seen fine glitter in the dollar section at Michael’s)

Total: $2 and up
