Besides planning, my main hobby is coloring. I like the Dollar Tree cutting mats to place behind a page to protect from alcohol marker bleed through. I use shiny side up, which you can clean easily with rubbing alcohol (i keep that in a spray bottle.)
Good tip!! Thanks for sharing!
Mats become level when put under a book for a day or two
Great finds and ideas for using them! I hadn’t thought of greeting cards for embellishments, I’ll have to look more closely next time I’m in the dollar store. Thanks so much!😃
Thanks for coming along on the field trip!
Great finds and ideas!! Please show us how you use that gorgeous tissue paper in your work 🙂
You got it!
I would be VERY interested in a video all about the many uses for the cutting mats.
I use them to create templates for sewing patterns.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
❤ your idea with the little glass bottles and container. I could store my small beads, etc. with I make shaker cards.
Great idea!!
I love the cutting mats. I use it next to my sewing machine to trim up fabric.
That's a great idea!
I love Dollar Tree for craft stuff and a lot of basics around the house and toiletries and stuff like that. We have some really good stores around here. Isn't it funny how easy it is to spend a lot of oney in a dollar store??
Haha, yes, those dollars add up so fast!
@@ScrappyWife They sure do!! But it's so worth it, considering the price difference!!
The glitter hot glue works awesome for making faux wax seals,I use a silicone mat for easy removal 😊
Great idea!!
Do you need a dedicated glue gun for it?
So many of these I use! The cutting mats are great for inking and gluing without getting my desk dirty. Love all the little storage containers in my desk drawers and on my shelves.
Totally agree!
would love to see a video on all your uses for the cutting boards
👍🏻
Great video! You can flip your clear jars upside down so you can see the different colors of your diamond dots. I saw another person store her embossing powder that way.😊
Great idea!!
genius!!!
I love the spray bottle to make my own in sprays.
So cool!
First of all I love your Dollar Tree store, wish I had a big one like this near me especially so well stocked. You had so many good ideas . I saw lots of items that I own like the collapsible storage cubes. I use the small ones on my vanity to store my cosmetics and hair brushes. The larger ones store my purses and shoes in my closet. I used greeting cards to scrapbook my daughter’s graduation pictures, I used the ones that had the year on them. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Looking forward to more.
Thanks for watching!
I was just trying to figure out dividers in stamps and diecuts-love the cutting mats idea!
Oh yes, that would work well for those!
i use foam core! so cheap
I like to cut those chopping mats into 2 x 14" pieces. Then I label them with paper lines' names. I also put a red, green, yellow, or blue sticker on the mat/label if I have stickers, ephemera, washi, stamps/die sets that go with each line. Great way to store like items and also have a reminder that I have in another place.
Fantastic idea!
The DT small clothespins are great to hold paper projects while they dry. I like that I can get cheap canvasses for experiments. They have various seasonal
napkins and other paper decor. Tina, Al's wife
Thanks for the tips!
Weirdly, it never occurred to me to have a look at Dollar Tree greeting cards to use as ephemera. Great tip! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
The Dollar store is awesome. I love the crafts 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Some great options to choose from!
I purchased their peg board systems over a year ago and I LOVE it!
That's awesome!
New to your cha, thanks for lots of info & ideas. FYI Lighter Fluid is a wonderful solvent for anything you need removed. It will even clean fabric. It evaporates quickly leaves no residue. Learned this working in a furniture store in my 30's, now I'm 68, still use it. Buy behind counter where tobacco is sold.
Thanks for the tip! I feel like I would be nervous to put lighter fluid on a project!
I use those little spray bottles for my watercolor painting. I love them!
Awesome!
smart 🍪! i'd love to see how that works.
@@jmsl910 I spray the paint pans or palette with my dried tube paints to soften them. After that I use a wet brush to activate the paints. I’ve seen other artists spray their paintings to let the paints spread around the page.
Those different sizes of foldable fabric bins: I use the small ones in my suitcase to organize socks and small stuff!
Nice use!
I love the watercolor brushes. I fill them with liquid watercolor
Nice!
FYI on the peg boards and accessories, they could be ANYWHERE at your local store. I've found them in the party section, in with baby products and toy sections!!!
Good tip!
I am so jealous of your dollar tree. Ours has a tiny craft section. Thanks for sharing ! Love your channel!
Thanks so much!
I too have just gotten into diamond painting and love your idea to store the extra drills. Thanks also for the idea on how to get off the stickers with the heating tool. I use the cutting mats for crafting on to protect my table top.
Yes, those cutting mats come in so handy for so many different things!
ohmygosh. i loved trying it!! too much stress on my eyeballs. any tips?
When I saw that rubber holder thing I immediately thought about holding my glue bottle upside down in it.
That is a fabulous idea!
We have a larger Dollar Tree in Blacksburg (We call it the Gucci Dollar Tree). They have so much in that store!
Gucci Dollar Tree - that's hilarious!!!
Go Hokies!
Great haul. I love the cutting mats as well. I use them in my larger baskets to keep my ephemera separated. I make things in advance. Its all basic colors and I decorate when I use it. Thanks for other tips.
Great tip!
Nice variety at your store. The problem with DT is just what you did, LOL!! When you see something that you haven't seen before, you tend to grab a lot or all that is there, so then it is gone. I got a few of the cutting mats so I don't ruin my good one when using brads. I will have to look for the tissue paper and those floral stickers, loved them.
I didn't take all the mats, but I definitely know what you mean :)
I use the flex cutting mat as 1/2 moon moss poles for my plants. Literally the best & holds more moisture for the plants!
Great tip!
I bought the same rainbow note cards a while back and have used them in my Art Journal and even in my planner. They're so so cute and the paper quality is right up there with the best of them. I also love the flexible cutting mats for making dividers of all kinds, especially in my planner. The wall decals are so unique and are great for decorating a page super quickly. Let us know if the little cricut weeding cup sticks to your desk...if so, it's a great idea and I'll definitely be picking one up the next time I go to DT. 😊
It has been sticking really well, and I've actually been using it a good deal. Totally recommend it.
I'm so glad you showed us those cutting boards in a previous video, as well as this one. I use them a lot too and I didn't even know they existed until i watch your video where you talked about them! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Three of the Dollar Trees near me haven’t been “well stocked” which is disappointing but I keep going back in hopes of finding something! Love the ideas you mentioned in this video. 💙💛🪴
Hopefully they will restock again in the future!
This was fun! I bought a bunch of the flexible cutting mats (clear ones) and one of my favorite stencils was made out of a piece of this mat. Very durable!
Wonderful!
I was thinking they'd make a great stencil with my Cricut!
My daughter loves Paris and I found a glass sticker at my dollar tree and it stuck really nice to one of their stemless wine glasses.
That is awesome!
I will take a picture of it and post it here, it is eifel tower
The little cutting mats are perfect for small projects!
Awesome!
Thank you for doing this video. Al DT stors are not the same. I have 3 near me in Tucson and when I can I go exploring. None of my stores are as organized.
But, you are right about trying new things and $1.25 is a good bang for your buck. Thanks again and see you soon. I did subscribe.
Thanks for subscribing!
Nice haul...
Thanks!
Cutting mats for dividers!!! Genius 🎉
They are fabulous!
I used the cutting boards ( the clear ones in the kitchen section)with a file divider to make the dividers for my stamps and die cuts. They are stored in cd cases, I can easily see what is there. I also recently converted my wooden block stamps into flat stamps that I can now use with my Stamparatus.
Great use!
FYI you can take apart the dimensional stickers easily and have two flat stickers per design. 😊
Totally!
Do you have any CZcams videos of some of the things you’ve made with those cutting mats?
Yup, if you search my page for custom dividers, you can check out how I made those.
I can only fantasize having a Dollar Tree that well stocked. Wow! I use the cutting mats for dividers as well. My DT stopped carrying them.
Mine stopped for a while and then have restocked at different points.
Here's another use for the vinyl weeding thingy (haha that's what I call it 😉) I use it to put bottles of paint or glue in it upside down so that the product runs to the lid when the bottle gets low on product.
Love it!!
Use your heat gun to flatten those black cutting mats. I use the kitchen mats to keep craft resin from sticking to my table & desk.
Nice!
Those bottles were well I used them all the time
Nice!
Great craft section. Sad not all DTs are the same. The green mats work good with my BigShot. Use a sharp utility knife to cut to size. The dish pans work good for a camping wash bin. Their Crayola crayons are pricey. WalMart usually have them cheap close to school starting. Stock up when on sale.
Good tips, thanks for sharing!
I sure do wish we had a Dollar Tree here in Australia! I loved watching you visit 🎉
Maybe one day!
i wish i had HER $T here in NC!!! 🤍 btw, i'd rather live in australia than have dollar tree stores!!🤍
@@jmsl910 Fair call... we are very blessed to be living here. I've visited the US once (years ago) and didn't get inside a dollar tree 🤣
Really cool finds! Love that you have storage for your diamond art leftovers!! ⚾️
It is helping a lot!
@@agnesvandenbosch7612 Creating a sparkling masterpiece is as easy as affixing vibrantly colored resin rhinestones to a self-adhesive canvas with a diamond art kit. The canvas is printed with the design as well as symbols to let you know exactly which color to place in each spot
I use the cutting mats a lot too! Wish we had the same stuff you saw.
Yup, it is hard that there is different stuff in every store.
I gasped when you showed your craft aisle
It was so well stocked this time around! I was really impressed.
Guess I need to visit my nearby DollarTree.....thanks for the video
For sure, go check it out!
Love dollar tree supplies! I use the fabric and books for junk journals! I debone the books and glue the fabric over the front & back covers and sow in the booklets! Inexpensive!
Edit: I just made an anchor/beach/sea journal for my sister! I really should start my own CZcams channel but I have no time with my work! Maybe I can upload the pics of my work.
Ooohhh that sounds interesting, haven't done a jj that way❤
What a fun idea! I love that!
@@ScrappyWife Yes girl! You should try one! It’s hard to do without a sowing machine. I do everything by hand and it takes forever!
What a great idea for the small jars and the container to hold them in so many people been wanting me to get involved with a diamond painting but I just can’t get off the neck of it but I could put a flower arrangement together in matter 20 minutes imagine that I guess we all have our little necks all right God bless and please have a amazing day and thank you so much for sharing
👍🏻
The Cutting mats DO flatten out and are useful for things beyond crafts, I use them to create a flat surface on top of my Dollar Tree wire platform racks. Perfect for Spices and my Shot glasses!!
Good to know!
I love the flexible cutting mats for crafting! :o)
For reals! They come in so handy!
The cutting mats wrre warped because they were leaning. They will flatten after laying flat
Good to know!
I feel like.the cards are so amazing. I can't even improve on it
Yes, definitely some great options!
Thanks for the video, still watching it. Lol. Just quick fyi, granted, not crafy stuff, but those smaller soft storage cubes are great in dressers to organize shirts and stuff. Especially for young ones. Loved them for my kids. Short sleeved shirts in one, long sleeved in another. Ectra. Thanks again for the video. Have an idea for the peg boards to make vertical k-cup storage on my walls in my kitchen.
Good tip - thanks for sharing!
Come shop with me at Dollar Tree! And like me!
Oh how original!
Seems like you didn't enjoy the video. That's okay - have a great day!
Try temu also! If you haven't already that's been my go to😊
Haven't ordered from there yet!
@@ScrappyWife for crafting stuff it's definitely been my go to. The clothes are a hit or miss that's why I just stopped with those but crafting and even smaller tool stuff especially when you 1st shop on it it's a great place with a lot of coupons and discounts. It's addicting be careful 😂 lolol my husband actually gives me a limit now hahahaha. But yeah your first order go big they'll hook you up tremendously and you're a CZcamsr I've seen several of CZcamsrs get even more of a discount and free stuff to try out and promote on channels
time stamped 7:22 ... the "pump-spray bottles" work well with alcohol in it.
Good tip - thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video!! Lots of great stuff. You Dollar Tree has WAY more than ours do. I have three of them to choose from in our area, and none of them have is much good stuff is yours does! Lol
Mine was definitely well stocked this time around.
Wonderful haul! Those cutting mats are SO versatile, I cut one down and use it in my Bible to protect the page behind the one I am working on. I also use them when making assemblage projects, the mats are fairly glue resistant and make moving the project aside (during dry time) easy.
Great tip!
I would use those cutting mats for cutting out stencils on the cricut
Good idea!
same!
I love Dollar Tree! I have a lot of their craft items both for my planning and my classroom! I am going to get the flexible cutting mats and use them for something (don't know what yet, but will!) Do you have a video showing what you make with them? Also, have you tried their vinyl? Do they work ok in your Cricut?
I haven't tried their vinyl yet - I do use the cutting boards for my planning, to make dividers!
The vinyl is cheap. Depends on what you want it for. And there are various kinds. Don't just grab cuz you like the color. If it's for a seasonal project, it's just ok. But nothing super permanent
I like to use DT kitchen cutting mats to make my own planner covers
Yes, totally!
I have purchased the little spray containers for my crafting. So far I have found that I have had to cut the length of the tube.
Great tip!
Hello I'm new to your channel.. TFS dollar tree items
Welcome!!
new subscriber!
Thanks for subbing!
If you put the cutting mats in the sun, let them get hot, put a book on them. They'll straighten out and you can use them as normal.
Good tip!
Have use those rub on transfers the ABC1 that you show in the video as part of my 100 day project.
Awesome! Hope it worked well!
@@ScrappyWife you have to be careful when rubbing it down even if you careful cut an item out. Sometimes it will stick to the page before you are ready to use the stick to keep it in place. 🙃
I have found that Dollar Tree is better stocked with much more variety on the east coast. We on the west coast seem to get the things that don't sell well. I have 6 DT's within 50 miles and it is the same story for all. Plastic storage is practically nil.
That stinks!
I use the cutting mats to make patterns with for sewing
Good idea!
It looks like we have some very similar items in uk pound shops.
Oh cool!
Wonder if you could use the flexible cutting mats for creating stencils.
You can! I have done that before :)
You have a great dollar tree
Thanks - I think so too!
Thank you for the video! At 4:18 you show a crafting paper with animals on it. I picked that up a few months back because I thought the animals were so cute! But I can’t think of how to use them. Cut around the designs and decoupage? Any feedback appreciated!
With papers like that, I usually like to trim out the images and use them as ephemera.
I like to cover small/medium paper mache boxes with pretty papers. Be sure to paint the box first with a shade of white for the paper print to show up better. Some tissue is better with black behind it. If you have craft paper experiment with color combos before painting. Adhere tissue with Mod podge. Let dry, add another matte layer of Mod podge. Perhaps embellish lid with 3d butterfly from floral dept. Or the 3d butterfly stickers from DT. Have fun ! 🦋🐞🐝🌹
Would you do a demo on decopoge? Do you by chance decoupage on fabric or t shirts?
I didn't know that it was possible to decoupage on fabrics....are you referring to vinyl? Like iron-on vinyl?
Dollar tree does offer some items in quantity of 4 on their website 😊💕👍
Good to know!
Did Once Upon a Time they used to be Two mats per package on the plastic cutting boards?
There are still two mats in each of those packages 👍🏻
Hello, I'm looking for plastic canvas,yarn, needle for yarn, adult coloring books, colored pens. That's all. Indpls ind. Where can I find a pop shelf store in indpls ind?
Hmmm....
What is diamond dot art work?
It is kind of like paint by number but with tiny diamonds.
Our Dollar Tree's look like a tornado hit it. Nothing is in its place, boxes all over the place, not unpacked on the shelves. Can't keep employees, not enough help.
Yeah a lot of businesses are struggling to keep employees these days.
I'm always curious where these dollar trees are because every one I've ever been to is a mess.
Truthfully, this one has been a mess for a while, and I was very pleasantly surprised to see it so well organized this time around.
Same in our dollar tree stores close by.
What are the things u use the cutting mats for?
I use them to protect my work surface and journaling pages as I am crafting. I have used them to create custom dividers for my planners and to create washi cards for sharing washi with friends. They come in handy in so many different ways.
@@ScrappyWifeHow do you cute them? Can you just use scissors or do you need something more?
@@ambiekraftsreads strong scissors work or a craft knife!
@@ScrappyWife Thanks. Next time I'm in DT I'll have to get a few mats.
Those plastic containers with the lid crack very easily.
Definitely can't overload them.
Don't think we in UK have Dollar Tree does it ship to UK
I actually don't know for sure.
It’s similar to the Pound Shops the U.K.
Don't know where u live, but the DT store by me doesn't carry 1/2 of what u r showing. The craft aisle is 1/2 aisle long, very unorganized.
Since they have a 1/2 aisle for DT plus stuff, they don't seem to carry much ar all.
Yup, my store has not added that "plus" section yet.
There rub ons not so great
Good to know...I'm anxious to give it a try myself!
I’ve had great luck with their rub ons on paper.
This is a great little haul! I'm going to stop into a different Dollar Tree after we go to dinner tonight...hopefully, I find some good things. I really like the tissue paper!
Good luck!!
I use templates when sewing. The cutting mats make cheap templates, particularly if you will only be using them for a single project.
Good to know!
