26 Craft Hacks From the Dollar Tree!

When punching plastic, I find it helps to wrap the edge you are cutting with paper. If you want to try that again. 🙂

[@marypolancodesigns]

Super idea, thank you so much Virginia!

[@surekhagalagoda4047]

Dear Mary Thanks a bunch. I am from Sri Lanka and there is no Dollar tree but your ideas give me ideas where I can adopt. Love your videos and I must say I bumped into your videos by accident and I am happy that I did. Stay safe

[@Taitcreates639]

Mary, that was fantastic, I love those gold silver and white markers. Use a lot of their bins for my stamps and even some dies. Been hoping to find the dies they are now selling. No luck yet. But, I did buy 10 of the larger wooden bins to glue together, then paint for ink pad storage. Not sure how to video but your more than welcome to preview it on your channel. I bought one ink pad storage shelf and it cost $95 shipped. Way to pricy for all of my different ink collections. Tfs. Blessings!

Lol lol Mary, you crack me up; your so stinkin funny with your comments. Oh I actually hit 4 yes 4 dollar tree stores yesterday. I’m looking for the dies but I guess here in FL we don’t have them. I did pick up that glitter glue and was pretty happy with them. I will probably pick up more colors. Only got the clear n silver. I been hitting the dollar tree very very often for my other papercrafting too. Loved all your suggestions. Happy Crafting my friend.

We don't have the dies where I am either. Hoping they will eventually get them.

Same but maybe soon!

I wished I'd watched this before going to Walmart yesterday, since I was looking for a silicone mat to make nuvo enamel dots. I've used acetate that I saw on HedgehogHollow and it didn't work so well. They spread out too much. Instead I got glue dots and made the enamel dots and it worked great. So now I can make any color I want since I got a ton of nuvo drops for Christmas. Thank you so much Mary. Need to go to DT and check out some of these crafting items.

[@marypolancodesigns]

I never tried the acetate but hear that quite a bit about them spreading. Thanks so much for this!

Great idea on the silicone gloves!

[@marypolancodesigns]

Thank you! 😊

[@RosyRosie42]

1) Seal the cut edges of the button file with some clear packing tape. 2) Save the sequins from that sacrificial folder - use them as embellishments on cards. Ahhhhh, love me a thrifty video ☺️ Thanks for the tips!

[@leaamherst]

And use your paper trimmer to cut away haggled edges from what’s left of the folder, that dotted sheet could be used for die cuts(probably not thin ones) or other embellishments, or labels for the clear three section boxes, it was really cute and could still be useful!

I so feel you on wetting my chamois! I always forget until I am into my project and need it. You are not lazy, you are resourceful! Also, you are not cheap you are frugal! Thanks for the laughs! BTW, a lot of hole punches can be adjusted by the screws if your project gets stuck or if you want to change the thickness. This may only be on the industrial one I used at work but worth a shot to check. You can change the width of the holes too. I look forward to your next video!

[@marypolancodesigns]

Giselle, this was so very helpful, thank you so much! I will give it a shot with the punch. And thanks for the encouragement, I really don't like to get up and wet my scrubby and like you, forget until I need it.

This is a good idea too. I'm still in process of putting my craft room together.

[@starlineks]

I hope you saved the sequins from that folder. Would make a cute shaker card. You probably shook some of them up under the punches, which made what you were cutting even thicker. Sequin material does not punch ( tried it once). I would use some fancy duck tape on the button pouch to seal the ends if I were you. We happen to have an industrial sealer, bought really cheap at an auction, it would seal them. I have used it for shaker pouches. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@marypolancodesigns]

SO true, I'm sure I did shake them under there. I didn't even think of that. I'm going to try again!

[@andrealavigne7824]

Along the lines of the button envelopes/folders, I found zipper envelopes/pouches. They are also plastic, but have a Ziploc-style slider closure. (Not like a clothing zipper.) They easily hold several sheets of up to letter-size (8-1/2x11") paper. They are also gusseted, and so can expand to maybe 1/2" thick or so. I recently had a large card order, and had to keep several colors of cardstock sheets & scraps organized & corralled. The pouches worked beautifully! As for the photo paper, I would NOT recommend it for printing photos. Obviously not alcohol inks, either. :) BUT, there is a cool technique you can do on it with Distress Oxide inks. Do ink smooshing, drying the paper between layers to keep the colors from muddying. (If you use a heat tool, keep in mind that you will warp the paper. If you keep the tool moving, though, it shouldn't warp too too badly.) When you're done, you can even stamp images on top with dark Oxide ink. (I have used Black Soot for that step, though I think any dark color would work.) Make sure the ink is thoroughly dry, then wipe over it (lightly) with a baby wipe. Don't scrub, though! You'll have to wipe it a few times, using different (clean) parts of the baby wipe to keep the colors from smearing much. The colors just magically turn from chalky & dull to bold & shiny. It's basically the same technique Tim Holtz demonstrated with glossy cardstock & Distress Micro Glaze. Just a LOT cheaper! Best part? You can get a total of 32 A2-size (quarter-sheet) panels from one $1 pack of photo paper from Dollar Tree! Full disclosure--this is not my original idea. I learned this from another gal at Splitcoaststampers. Anyway, thanks for sharing your fun & CHEAP finds, Mary. Take care, & I hope you have a fantabulous day! :)

For that folder that you had a hard time with cut that end off , punch the single side and the other side and install them and your happy planner together you still get the same folder effect. Unless of course that is the part that holds in the Shaker folder material. For that I would just use the wood burning like tool "specific name"that's used to make individual pockets by melting you, said it in your video and I cannot remember the name LOL. From the dollar store I really used to love their magazine holders they were sturdier cardboard than Ikea's cardboard and so many wonderful colors I would use those to store my project ideas like you did on that plastic one. Personally I can't stand storage with large edges that take up valuable space. Thanks for sharing.

The glitter gel pens and metallic gel pens are amazing. As well as the black, blue and colored regular gel pens although they have a finer point and you need to angle them correctly I find them just as good as many other gel pens.

[@judeschaffer2571]

For the button folder that u cut the ends off to b able to put t in ur planner/binder. I have seen where they take a piece of parchment paper about 3 inches wide & the length of the plastic. The folded the paper in half long ways & put it over the cut end. Then they took a flat hair straightener & went up & down the edge of the parchment & the plastic sealed. They took the same parchment & placed it on the other open end & did the same. Now u can put items inside & they won't fall out.
