Find of the Week
I came across some canvas art at Dollar Tree that caught my eye. I like the new size of 12 x 4 inches. I love nature scenes but you can also find more modern pieces, as well.
Quick Tip
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always had trouble getting LED taper candles to sit straight in a candle holder. I’ve had some success using poster tack. I put a small amount on the bottom of the taper candle and place it in the candle holder, pressing down firmly.
I tested this to see if it would hold overnight and it did. However, it seem to work best with candle holders that have a narrow base where the candle sits.
You can still pull the LED candle out to turn it off and on, always pressing down firmly when you reinsert the taper into the holder.

Recently, I found some painting kits at Dollarama featuring fun plaster Easter shapes. They come with a row of paint pots and a paintbrush and were designed for kids to have fun with. However, as soon as I saw them, I knew I could use them to make grown-up decor. Try these easy Easter decor ideas you can make using kids’ craft kits. Just substitute your own paints and paint brushes to colour the plaster shapes.

If you want something more neutral for Easter, this riser, featuring a bunny, may be just what you’re looking for. It can also be easily customizable using traditional Easter colours. Here’s how to make a spring bunny riser using supplies from Dollar Tree, along with items you probably already have on hand.

I’ve always wanted to have a pair of tall planters for my front porch but I couldn’t justify the cost, given I have no budget for such non-essentials. Costco has a pair for $159 and Wayfair sells them for $70.99 each. Then it occurred to me that the side table project I did last year, could just as easily serve as a template for planters, too! So, off to the dollar store I went.
Here’s how you can boost curb appeal with these tall planters.
