She Grabs A Pack Of Dollar Tree Doilies To Create The Sweetest Spring Decor!

Spring is around the corner, and that means it's time to shake off the winter blues. Why not do so with a fun and crafty DIY? That is, after you're done planting your spring-blooming flowers, of course! Being that it's a season full of delightfulness, it makes sense to create decor that matches the vibe. This project was shared by the YouTuber from DIY Beauty On Purpose. One of Dollar Tree's heart Wood Shapes is at the center of it all, but it's their Paper Doilies that add the cutest touch. The pack comes with 32, so you'll have plenty left over for other crafts as well.

Doilies might remind you of your grandparents' house or a fancy tea party. In this case, they are layered onto the heart alongside a variety of other materials. The end result is textured wall decor perfect for spring. You're also going to need burlap, ribbon, hot glue, Mod Podge, and anything else that piques your interest when it comes to embellishing the piece. Similar to the YouTuber, you could attach flowers made from fabric, like Hobby Lobby's Layered Burlap Flowers With Pearls. Or, try making your own by twisting up strips of burlap to create rosebuds.

Set your wooden heart on a table and glue a large piece of burlap to it. Cut out the heart shape, but leave a tiny amount of extra material around it. Paint a layer of Mod Podge onto the bottom section of the heart and lay a paper doily on top. Add another coat of Mod Podge to help seal it on. Then, cut off the excess paper. Repeat this with another doily on the top section of the heart. Let everything dry before proceeding to the next step, which is to add lots more layers!

You can now glue on strips of ribbon, like Dollar Tree's Polyester Burlap Ribbon, which comes in multiple spring-like colors. Keep the layers going. By starting with a layer of wide ribbon, you can then attach slimmer pieces on top — for example, this 5/8 inch Floral Ribbon that's also sold at Dollar Tree. Once you're happy with your textured heart, you can adorn it with a handful of fabric flowers. Attach a hanger to the back so you can display it on a wall or door all season long.

What makes the project extra enjoyable is that you can put so many different spins on it. Dollar Tree also carries butterfly and flower wood shapes if you want to swap out the heart. You could also repurpose a thrifted vintage doily into a craft item for the piece. Thread wooden beads onto the hanger so that it too looks dressed up. Or, really bring in the spring vibes by gluing on sprigs of fake greenery. Lace ribbon could also complement the doilies and boost the sweetness level.
