D&D Crafts at The Dollar Store: Affordable Tabletop Terrain Supplies & Ideas

[@Maddhatter3]

"Coo Coo Cachoo it's the dollar store glue." Is now my new favorite saying.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Hahahaah!

[@TheDrewjameson]

The upside down doll desk for merchant stall hack is genius!

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Agreed. @Junk Chimera has some great ideas for tabletop terrain on his channel.

[@spookyspumoni112]

I went to my local Dollar Tree yesterday and found painted metal Street Fighter figures. They only had Ken left, but he's a muscly guy in a sleeveless gi and handwraps. Makes a good mini for a monk pc.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Awesome! I haven’t seen any of those.

[@kwagsire6489]

I have an interesting story with the pool noodles. I played in a D&D club that used a system where characters could come from any world. We had one guy, a black dragonborn named Donacor, who's back story was based in Norse mythology. When these characters hit level 17, they have 3 chances to take on a very difficult game to earn a legendary item. Donacor was given a challenge by Odin to fight Baldur for the horn of valhalla. Well we didn't plan on making this easy. Baldur was gonna have some help from a certain world serpent. So we made sections of Jormungandr out of pool noodles and construction paper scales with the help of at least 7 or 8 people and many hours up until about 15 minutes before the game started. I have a picture, and if I can find it, I'll upload it to imgur and put it in the replies.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

What a great story! I’d love to see pics.

[@adriannaranjo4397]

My dollars store carried a knock off jenga. Glue 2 to 3 pieces together for a modular wall markers. Added some 1 inch wood squares from Michael's and popsicle sticks for more complicated builds.

[@burner9147]

Only just got into D&D it's a great hobby and this DIY element really adds an extra layer of depth to the game. great video

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[@nategoalbevazin1387]

I don't think I have laughed so much during a terrain video, GREAT JOB!!!

[@TheTerrainWizard]

I'm late to the party but this was a fun watch, craft ideas and a thrifting style video in one. What's not to like? Subbed

[@TheTerrainWizard]

[@BrentDelong1253]

I buy the crap out of those bobo jenga blocks. They are perfect for building walls and ruins.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Awesome!

[@lwriker1304]

I do $ stores and second hand stores regularly. They are the greatest, if you have imagination and DIY skills!

[@Bluecho4]

I mean, that wibbly dragon was absolutely captivating. A bit too wibbly for painting. But if you don't mind home-brewing some kind of ooze dragon, you could drop it into a game as-is.

[@catdad3419]

Literally I love the way u open videos. I just got into dnd and I like crafting so I wanted to say even if this is years old. Ty

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Thank you for the kind words, your comment is much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the game with a great group of people :)

I can no longer go to a Dollar Tree without giggling at all the Pony Poney(s)

[@ArtJeremiah]

"precut styrofoam rounds = good" I totally agree.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

I really wanted to educate folks on: floral foam for D&D crafts = bad, as many folks don’t know the difference ‘twixt the two “foams”. What an odd and funny sentence to type. Hahahaha!

Dollar Tree has a new craft section now, and the selection is pretty decent. Each store has different merchandise though. Here’s wishing you happy crafting times!

[@remyguzman58]

I laughed my ass off when you voice acted that purple dragon.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Glad you chuckled and had fun!

[@mizzourita3896]

Your dollar tree is much better stocked than mine, every time I go to get supplies they're always out of styrofoam and sand and tea lights 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think I live in an area where there are a lot of crafters because every time I go the shelves are practically bare, loved your video though!

[@TheTerrainWizard]

Thank you for the kind words :) Crafters unite!

Craft sticks are definitely not a great deal at the Dollar Store; you can get a box of 10,000 or whatnot for dirt cheap. Buy 'em in bulk!

[@TheTerrainWizard]

[@DumbbellDan]

Man! Your dollar store has a lot better stuff than mine! Lol

[@TheTerrainWizard]

In this video I went to several stores. One in particular is super amazing, though.

[@m_d1905]

Man your dollar tree has a much bigger art section! Smaller towns can make things harder to be cheap. But I have found acrylic paints and 2oz Modge Podge for $1 at Dollar General (which isn't a dollar store per se, but a cheap version of Walmart). I scope out clearance bins every where. Found black tapers for 2 bucks for 4 of them. Edit: checked the Modge Podge bottle and it was 2 oz. not 1.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

I have noticed each Dollar Tree has their own selection of crafting items. No two stores are alike. Thanks for watching :)

[@jaimayy]

Fun fact! Most of the original DND monsters/minis Gary Gygac made came from dollar store toy bundles!

$1 for hotwheels is a deal since the cost like $2 or more at a non-dollar tree

[@johnmudd6453]

War elephants ? I want war giraffes !

[@jordanbeard6687]

I love the dollar store for getting my crafting stuff. Surprised you didn't see Mod Podge, the stores near me all have Mod Podge in 3oz size which is the best per oz price I have found for it. I also did some price shopping on the craft sticks/Popsicle sticks and found the 100 for $1 is actually a pretty good price. My store has 2 sizes, the large ones are in a 100 pack, but then they have thin ones too with 300 in a pack. So that's a good option for making ladders or wood flooring.

[@TheTerrainWizard]

They’ve always got great stuff. I’ve got another Halloween Dollar Tree video coming soon :)

I don't even know if we have dollar tree in France 🧐 Maybe the equivalent would be Action or Noz but it's not as cheap as Dollar tree and there isn't styrofoam-- sad

[@LittleHillsTabletop]

I'm pretty new. Why can't you use wet floral foam?

[@TheTerrainWizard]

No worries, glad to help. Floral foam crumbles when you work with it and it is toxic.

Dawww don't be disturbed by the booby piggy! I think she already had her babes & is nursing! It is not gross or disturbing, it is totally normal & part of nourishing life.. Don't negate points from "non-binary pals". XOXO

[@fredricknoe3114]

In the same vain I got 2 tubes of animals 1 for 5$ at target where I got 40 and then another for 7$ at the zoo, I got an employee discount so it was more like 12$ that had about 15, but they were of a much higher quality, neither were super amazing, but they are good for bear/wolf attacks and you can pass em to the druid.
