Dollar tree Christmas craft and decor {It can be ambient}

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Nov 15, 2012 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

Did you ever think…

the word ambient and Dollar tree would be in the same

sentence?

Surprise surprise, it can be and let me show you how I did it.

I bought these three little candle votives.

But oh how plain are these?

Sure you can stick a colored candle in them..

but still kinda boring.

I will show you how I did these soon…

in fact maybe in a quick video demo….

and I mean quick, 5 minutes of your time.

My friends came over for bunco last night…

we had a blast.

But one of the nicest things they said to me,

is I am all about the details…

and the smallest of things they notice.

I love that!

I was playing with my night time settings on my camera.

Plus these votives…are meant to be shown in the evening.

Catch up soon.

I hope you are gearing up for the
DOLLAR tree Christmas next Friday.

We are READY!

If you are not a regular here, I sure would love to see you back again.

XO

    dollar tree just opened a store here where I live – I went this morning and frankly I was disappointed – I was really hoping to find something to inspire me to participate in your upcoming dollar tree holiday party…I am hoping they will get better merchandise soon

    Nice votives Debbie.
    Molly and I went to Dollar Tree last weekend just to pick up a few things to make so that we could come back over to your blog and party. I’d better get busy making what I came up with!

    Bunco is so much darn fun, I am hoping to host a party after the new year. And when someone says something nice, like one of my BFF’s husbands who told me “your house always smells so good”, I never forgot it. Made me feel good.

    I agree with your friends about the details.

    I ‘m also anxious to see the votive makeover. I think I’ll love it, based on the looks of it.

    It’s going to be fun to see what we can do with Dollar Tree buys for the holidays. I still love my pillar candles wrapped in sheet music! Maybe I’ll get some out today! I’m having a giveaway….stop by soon! Hugs!
