You'll never walk past DOLLAR TREE resin again 👀🤯 EASY HOME HACKS that beat Amazon!

[@heartspeaks]

As a Special Needs Teacher, I used to teach my students how to shop and about daily living skills by doing field trips at the Dollar Tree! I had the parents place their money in an envelope and we had the students count their money at the register. The customers were upset but I didn’t care! My babies deserve to shop and have community experiences too! Honestly, if I didn’t take them to the store, some wouldn’t go! I loveee to see children at stores learning & experiencing! 💕 How are they going to learn about real life if we don’t teach them so I love it! ❤

[@debbieholoquist2059]

Maybe some other customers were upset, but I'd bet there were some happy to see it. I would be.

[@adaperez4770]

That's awesome. Some people just have no heart

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

For customers who have no patience, perhaps DT could open another register for your kids. I think taking them shopping, letting them pick out what they like, and paying with their own money is so smart! Thank you! 👍

[@karenneukam8700]

That is so awesome! Hugs and kudos!❤

What a gorgeous round and tray! I thought that adding sand and tiny seashells at the bottom would add to the feel of being at the seashore. 😊

[@sarawhite9338]

Love that idea! I was thinking about adding birds somehow, maybe little plastic ones, if I can find them. I love watching videos of people making resin things. It's so cool. One tip from them is to use a lighter near the surface to pop bubbles in the resin. Bigger or dice projects may want to use a pressure pot for the bubbles.

[@melissaward7339]

I saw this on a different video..add sand to clear resin first, stir and pour. You can also add shells once resin is on board. Cover shells with a thin layer of resin.

[@toughtimes6596]

Always wear a respirator while working with resin! Trust someone who has damaged lungs - it's essential! Love it 💞

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Agreed. My hubby is on oxygen 24-7 due to Covid damaging his lungs.

Really like what you did with the flat canvas pictures by adding a three-d look to them. Clever.

[@lindanicodemus9306]

Love it!! ❤️ If you use a thick plastic (even a thick garbage bag) under your project, the resin won’t stick to it once dry. You can peal it off and use the drips for a future project and reuse the plastic. Peeling the resin is very therapeutic! 🤗🥰

[@katfrankie6484]

The $5 wall makeover looks absolutely amazing! So high end for $5 - you have a great artistic hand and elegant touch!!❤❤❤

[@M00N.L1GHT]

Except it didn't cost her $5 to make. She used three canvases @ 1.25 each, command tape - 6 strips @ $1.25 (or more?), mod podge @ $1.25, the metallic chips @ $3.00, and the acrylic paints, which are different from the $1.25 5-pack of tempera paints which she showed earlier. That acrylic set had to have been at least $5.00 or more. So if I wanted to recreate what she made, it would have cost me at least $14.25. And that doesn't include the 'wall makeover's' little light and command tape above it. Sure they are great ideas, but don't tell me something cost only $5 to make when it clearly didn't.

[@anitaholmes6824]

I have to tell you, I find a smile on my face everytime I watch you....am I alone? Thanks for sharing!

I am DYING for the day the stores near me add a plus section. I know you still do mostly the $1.25 stuff, but I can't wait to shop a plus section!

[@cherylreitz4779]

Yeah none of the dollar tree stores in my area have the plus stores

[@bonnylouwho76]

There are PLUS sections in all three or ours. however I cannot drive any longer so I often miss out on the limited items. I DO grab up things when I can have a ride there though.

[@tamekadavis6641]

Hello Catherine and thanks for sharing.❤I hope you have an amazing summer.🌞😊

[@crafting_is_my_habit]

I LOVE the diy updated canvas idea with the added paint, glitter and anything you want! Thank you!

[@bonnylouwho76]

Gallery art for decor came out a few years ago. It is fun to see how you can grab or reuse a canvas to do this. You can use real branches and leaves to lay down the base paint ( after dipping them) then accent with foils as well. I have seen some foil sheets at the dollar store before that can be cut up and altered. I moved to a small apartment and I do not have any wall space for much of anything, so my creative juices often mean that people are receiving gifts. ( I had to leave my flower garden behind so my green fingers are always itching to "grow things" lol

[@terimaue4155]

Love it. On the other side of the ocean, add some sand with resin on the top of it. It makes it look like wet sand. After all that dries, to the edge, add white glue and the dry sand on top of that. It really looks like the beach

This video got my head back in the game and I am brimming with ideas now. Thank you, thank you, thank you! By the way she's having a boy and I invite the whole world to welcome my first grandbaby into the world around the end of September. His name is Beckham Theo.

What a beautiful baby! Congratulations!! I know you’re such a proud grandma your comment made my heart smile 😊 ❤

[@user-ro2yt2eb5k]

Welcome to the world, Beckham!!!

[@ishajac3637]

@lorila-northrup7748 Thank you for the warm wishes. Her story is actually fraught with drama. Our Beckham decided to choose his own birthday and wanted to come into the world with as much drama as he could. My poor baby started having distressing feelings the same evening she had her baby shower. Just the cliff notes of what is a longish story ~ I rushed her to the hospital. She had extreme pain and vomiting. Tests were run and based on her prenatal care they knew she had eclampsia and they had to do an emergency C section. Ì have to give all the praise in the world to her maternity team. I had no idea how dire the situation was until it was all over with and they let me see Beckham. He was born August 18th which was about a month and a half early. He weighed 3lbs 4 ounces and was in the NICU until he gained the required 4.5lbs. But what the team sheltered me from was the fact that my daughter almost died. She had what they call HELLP or HELPP (Google to the rescue). It's basically Eclampsia on steroids. When I looked it up, the information I read said that only 9% of all pregnancies ever get that seriously bad. But I didn't suffer through what most assuredly would have been crippling stress because her team never gave off any worried vibes or outwardly showed the extreme danger she was actually in when they took her to surgery. Yay team! But, mother and baby are home and they are thriving and that's really all I could ask for. Thanx again for your lovely words and best wishes to you and yours.

@rouladakdouk39 i agree 100%, its kind of worrying its being put into normal stores woth no warnings with it. I use resin myself and it is not used in the house, kids and pets aren't allowed near etc. It can be so dangerous and there are no real warnings about that danger. It's a little scary tbh

[@richellefiscus9309]

As your not wearing gloves with the resin... all resin has voc's. It is a neurotoxin, it builds up in your system. You don't even have to smell it for it to be building up. You definitely want a mask that works for vapor's, have really good ventilation, and have no kids or animals in the room. Especially while heating the resin with heat gun or hair dryer. I'm living with the effects of not knowing this before hand

I am the cheapest crafter in the world. So I’ve used ALL of DT craft stuff over the years. The last year or two DT has been ON POINT with DIY and craft supplies. I’ve bought ALL my local DT out of their resin. It’s REALLY good resin for $5.00. I get about 40 mins of work time, it dries super clear and bubbles pop very easily. The cup turner is meh though, too slow but I’m experimenting with using it with pens instead. We’ll see. And the pre mixed paint pouring paint is really good too. It’s a really thin recipe but it makes great cells and lacing.
