Great vidoe really enjoyed it

[@leeannsutherland858]

I have never ever seen a dollar tree store that was that neat and orderly! Kudos to the workers there! Way more variety than the stores I’ve been in.

[@carfriday827]

I wish my Dollar Tree was this well stoked and organized.

[@emmkaa2099]

I LOVE going to the Tree with you! I think that postal-looking tape was my fave of your finds - I've never seen that before either. I TOTALL agree that you have to look all the way through things - it seems the one I want is almost ALWAYS at the back of the peg. True story... I was flipping thru - I don't even remember what it was now, but it was on one of those long pegs... I had the entire pile of stuff off the peg and on the shelf below it... I heard quiet talking the next aisle over, then I heard what I knew to be the manager's voice say, "Oh, she's OK, she always puts everything back the way it was." 🤣🤣 Apparently, I'd been observed disassembling then reassembling things before! Gotta love the Tree! Hugs, Ingrid! God bless your day! Hugs from the Midwest, USA, MK 🤗♥️🤗

[@karatootie]

MK that is so funny!! Unfortunately I am sure (as is evident) a lot of people make messes and leave them. Here’s to team clean up! I can totally picture you clearing out the peg in its entirety 😅 but you GOTTA look! 💕🫶🏼

[@sonyacreel6600]

That was so cool.

[@dawnbrosnan7186]

Great ideas! That airmail tape if you cut in half and put on the sides of a white envelope you get an airmail envelope. Then distress it make it look old and it is amazing in a journal.

[@karatootie]

Thank you for the great tip Dawn!! I’ll definitely have to try it out! 💕

[@dianenoble5553]

I love the way you make things with everyday cheap materials. Your projects are easy to make and so much fun.

[@karatootie]

I am so glad you are enjoying the channel Diane! Thank you for your kind words of encouragement!! 🫶🏼💕

[@diannekevwitch6958]

That is the most organized DT I have ever seen!

[@karatootie]

It’s is brand new, but, to be completely honest, they opened about a month ago and it used to be spotless. It’s already turning into a mess and the poor employees are trying their hardest to keep it clean. There was glitter spilled everywhere and things at a place…which is so sad!

[@ethantaylor2376]

Love the idea to use paper. From school pad to print in my printer

[@karatootie]

It’s a game-changer when you use it for printing! You can make papers look like old documents! (I have a video coming soon) Thanks for your sweet words! 💕🫶🏼

[@kimmaried.7313]

I am not a crafter at all but this showed up in my feed so here I am. I watched the whole video and now I’m curious so I’m going to watch a few more. Thanks for the interest I didn’t know I had. I’m shocked that this caught my attention the way it did. Who knew there may be a tiny but of crafting in me. Thank you ❣️

[@bonniejosavland3227]

Saves me from actually leaving my house 😂

[@almostoily7541]

Junk journals are a great place to start. Things don't have to be perfect like in other paper crafts 😁 It allows people like me to create and not feel bad because it's not " perfect".

[@ultraviolet13881]

I've made a bunch of envelope journals like yours, and they are so much fun. I used napkins on some of mine, which works really well. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I especially like the one with the manuscript tablet paper -- will be looking for that and also for the washi tape. TFS!!

[@karatootie]

That washi is a treasure for sure! I went over there this morning to grab something (for an awesome tutorial coming tomorrow!) and I found another and snatched it up! Thanks for your sweet words! 💕

[@kuttfam0191]

I am an absolute beginner in paper crafting. I am so thankful for your channel. You show how to make amazing items, but you show how to get supplies without breaking the bank. I was super thankful for the demonstration of scoring without a scoreboard!! Thank you!

[@karatootie]

First off welcome to the world of paper crafting! If I can provide even a little ounce of inspiration, my heart is filled! I remember what it was like beginning and not having all the “supplies”. The truth is that the supplies are fun and all but it’s the creating that is really import! Making something with your hands that you can look back on and cherish is the main objective 💕

[@langstonre]

Another good thing to get is a Large print “Word Search “ book in the coloring books & game books. You can cut out words for your pages, tags, whatever. I didn’t have to buy the words in a little pack for a few dollars. It works good! 👍

[@kuttfam0191]

@langstonre thank you! What a great idea!

[@kykategray]

I haven’t been to my dollar tree in a while, but now I want to go just to look for that postal washi tape. I never would have looked at the tapes because they usually aren’t my style. Thanks for another great video!

[@karatootie]

Yes! Exactly! Since I was doing a video about basics, I wanted to mention the washing tape. I was delighted to say the least when I found the postal tape! You really do have to look through every peg 😅

[@shannonanastasio727]

Wow, this is the most well stocked and organized Dollar Tree I’ve ever seen. Mine is a hot mess but still love shopping there. Love your videos, Ingrid!!

[@karatootie]

Thanks Shannon you are so sweet! 💕💕💕To be 100% transparent this is a brand new store and the first time I went in I was amazed how beautiful everything was (I have another video showing it) when I went in yesterday, it was a mess. There were boxes and spilled glitter everywhere. People leaving things where they shouldn’t be, etc. It is so sad! So when I film, I sometimes straighten up just a little so it looks prettier. The poor employees are fighting a never ending battle. 💕🫶🏼

Oh yes!!! I think I forgot the party isle! This is a new store and I can’t even think of where they have the party stuff!! I’m going to have to go back! 😅 Thanks for the great tip! 💕🫶🏼

[@amyt6254]

Thanks for the ideas! I especially appreciate seeing how you made a thicker spine on your envelope. I’m guessing you got the makeup brush case with the lemons on it.

[@karatootie]

I got a lot of guesses for lemons. I’m thinking I might need to go back and get one of those as well! 😅 I do love lemons!! Thank you for your sweet words. I hope this video blesses you. 🫶🏼💕 (oh and that’s my favorite spine of all time!) 🥰

Hi Ingrid! I knew you’d pick the red cherry one!! I haven’t been to DT in a while. But I think I’m going to go this weekend. I love that washi tape you got that looks like an old mailer trim. You got some good finds. Enjoyed the video! See you soon. ❤️💜💚

[@Tarheelbex]

Hello from North Carolina! Just now came upon your video and I am now a new subscriber! I use a lot of items from Dollar Tree as well. Mine isn't as well stocked as yours, however. I love the washi tape you found and I want to get some of those wood frames as well. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

I love love love this dollar tree haul. The washi tapes were my favorite, as well as the cherry plastic holder thing. I hope it comes to SE KS. That's the downfall for lower community areas, we never see the stuff in our stores. I'm enjoying your channels a great deal. God Bless.😁

[@karatootie]

@@rewriteministries Thank you for your sweet words and encouragement! I couldn’t agree more…DT was built on the community and needs to step it up in all their stores! Don’t give up hope, there are product (like the resin) that went viral over a year ago, and I am now starting to see them. Praying that your store is blessed abundantly! 💕💕💕

[@LydiaDiemer-e8c]

My favorite was the tape that looks like the old envelopes. I am new so I didn't have the slightest idea which container you had picked till you showed it. I really liked the one with the blue flowers. And that is a great idea. I liked that they had different designs to choose from. Will definitely need to check the ones around here so I can have one design to hold my paint brushes, a different design to hold my embossing tools, and one to hold my piercing tools and needles for making journals. Thank you for the great idea

[@karatootie]

That is such a great idea! Plus they are pretty slim and don’t take up a ton of space! That tape is too cute, I have never seen it before! Dollar Tree is a great place for journaling supplies! If you want more ideas check out my channel for my DT PLAYLIST 💕

You're absolutely right. It's important to be mindful of copyright and trademarks when creating for sale. 💕💕💕

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

I know books are necessary to journaling but seeing you flip through new books made me shudder. Why not check Goodwill or a Salvation Army store for a used one?

[@karatootie]

Thank you for your perspective! I completely understand the value of reusing and repurposing, and thrifted books are such a treasure. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to second-hand stores like Goodwill or Salvation Army, which is why I sometimes use new books to ensure everyone can follow along. I always encourage people to use what they have on hand or can find locally, whether it’s an old book at home or one from a nearby store. Your suggestion is such a great reminder of the beauty in repurposing-thank you for sharing! 💕
