Suggestions of things to buy at the Dollar Store for crafting

After the success of my what not to buy at the Dollar Store posts, many people are left wanting more.

I had a suggestion to write a post about the craft items I recommend buying at the Dollar Store.

I thought it was a great idea!

Keep in mind the Dollar Store has new items in the store all the time.

I may not have included something I would normally buy (for example, tape runners and Elmer's glue pens) because it isn't currently available.

If you would like to see my full recommendation of items to buy {and what to avoid} find the lists here.

Mirrors and Frames

While I like to buy mine at garage sales, if I were in a pinch and didn't have some available I would buy these. I know lots of bloggers have done great projects with dollar store mirrors and frames.

Isn't this Pottery Barn inspired tiled mirror fantastic?!

It's from Dollar Store mirrors.

You can find the tutorial on Dollar Store Crafts.

Flowers

These flowers are great for taking apart and making headbands for little girls.

Like this one that I made for decoration for my sister in law's "she's about to pop" baby shower, and then as a gift for my sweet niece.

Satin Ribbon

I will pick this ribbon up in a pinch and depending on my project.

If it doesn't need to be heavy duty then this ribbon does the trick.

Again, from the She's About to Pop baby shower, I used the satin ribbon on the banner that I made.

Styrofoam Shapes

Styrofoam forms can get expensive. I love when I can find them at the Dollar Store.

I used the cones for these twine wrapped carrots that I made at Easter

and I used the flat circles for this vintage sheet music wreath

Glass Vases

If I can get glass vases for a quarter at a garage sale, then I will snatch them up, but if I need them for a project, these vases from the Dollar Store are perfect.
