Hello Shiny Crafty People! It’s been a few months since I visited my local Dollar Tree store to check out the craft and sewing items there, as well as other items designed for everyday use that can work for sewing and crafting.
I hope you enjoy this video and that this inspires you to check out a Dollar Tree store near you!
Until next time, Stay Crafty!!!

The pool noodle knife is great for cutting lettuce it will not rust so soon in refrigerator.

Hi Tim! I love your videos and helpful tips. I use fat quarters from the Dollar tree to make placemats and lining for purses. They recently had some with pink designs for breast cancer awareness and I'm making tote bags to donate to ladies getting treatment. I cut pool noodles to size and insert in cemetery vases (also from Dollar Tree) and make bouquets for Memorial Day. Artificial flowers stay nicely in the foam.

I use the brown craft paper rolls from dollar tree to make patterns with. I also make copies of my store bought patterns out of it too! And I make templates out of the flexible cutting mats. I use my circuit maker to cut them out. So if I need to make a ton of say 3 inch triangles I cut out the triangle and use that!

Slice that pool noodle lengthwise and put it around the rim of a bucket for an emergency toilet. Hurricane season and power loss is right around the corner, Tim! You can also pop that lengthwise sliced noodle on the rim of a folding chair for a headrest. Or the arms of a tubular chair. Stick a pool noodle on a broom stick - also at DT, and make a squeegee for your driveway!
