    In this video, I create 3 semi-handmade Christmas decorations using miniatures and Dollar Tree materials. I show how to make a simple bow that comes together very quickly using hot glue. I also made DIY faux snow. You can use the miniatures I create in the video in your dollhouse or as Christmas decor for your full size house.
    Happy Holidays 🎄

    Love out of the ordinary christmas decorations like this, still christmas themed but not your usual baubles and tinsel.

      Same here! They're so charming. I gave the truck away as a gift and it was well-received.

    I love these ideas. The snow on the truck was a little heavy-handed for my taste, but then, I live in Florida! 😊

      That's hilarious! I like most of the snow but I wish I hadn't caked the tree in snow. I should've done it more like the flocked tree in the jar. The wreath on the grille makes me 😁 though

    "I have a plastic organizer filled with garbage"--This kills me! I too, have one of those organizers. I got a knife set for Christmas and am trying to figure out what I can make from the little tip protector that came with them. 😂

      You people are my tribe! You get me. I have spent hours organizing the trash and beads and bits and bobs I've collected. I actually have two plastic organizers with tiny plastic paint pots inside them to organize the little bits. The trash collection is by far the most organized thing in my studio.

      @@queencityminis I got an old shoe cubby off Marketplace and a bunch of long skinny baskets from the dollar tree. I managed to organize most of my supplies and tools in it. I have quite a bit of dollhouse building supplies, but I must say I have an embarrassingly large cache of fabric. It’s nicely organized too!

    OMG - I just got two of those hanging jar type ornaments so I can make a scene inside. I also picked up the styrofoam balls (tho mine are silver). I also got lots of ornaments and made a tree almost entirely out of Dollar Tree things. Don't you just love Dollar Tree??? Both projects came out really cute ~ I especially love the truck. Happy holidays to you!!

    • @queencityminis

      I almost bought the silver styrofoam balls when I saw them this year but I think I already have a lifetime supply 😆 I can just paint my gold ones if I really ever want a different color. I'm thinking of painting some of them orange. I think they could make convincing mandarin oranges bc of their size and texture.

      I do love the Dollar Tree but I've watched some UA-cam videos recently of others crafting DIY Christmas decor and I have Dollar Tree envy. My local stores are apparently tiny.

      @@queencityminis Oh no! I'm lucky to have several really well stocked stores. And the people who work there are super nice. I made the mistake of going into a couple other "dollar" chains ~ they should be ashamed to call themselves "dollar" anything because everything is so expensive! I hadn't really used the dollar store much, but this year I have been going there a lot. Probably bc of all of the cool things I see on youtube :)

    This turned out great. I am going to try to find this truck at Kohls because my MIL loves the red truck/tree aesthetic and it would make a great gift for her.

      I think there were two when I got mine. I bought it at the Bedford Kohl's. It was 60% off plus I had a 20% coupon.
      Oh no! That stinks. The weather has been ridiculous. The wind tore siding off our house.

      Hahaha I was wondering if anyone would notice it! It's actually Pickle Rick from Rick N Morty. I made it myself out of polymer clay about 3 years ago. It's extra funny since there's a German tradition of hanging a pickle on a tree.

      That's awesome! They're already so cute as it but they look extra cute with just a couple simple touches. Make sure you shove the cork in as tight as possible bc mine went flying off when I was shaking it to reposition the contents.

      Hi! I bought the glass jar and ornament jar at the Dollar Tree. I got the truck at Kohl's, if memory serves me well. The Dollar Tree also sells miniature jars that are 1" tall, and some 2" tall.
