Dollar Tree Pottery Barn Chandelier! (just $2!)

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Gardening, Money Saving

In this video I share how to create an outdoor chandelier from the Dollar Tree (a simple Pottery Barn dupe that costs just $2 if you already have a string of Christmas lights at home).  This pendant orb light is a perfect way to decorate your patio or backyard for summer.  And rustic outdoor staple.  Also perfect for weddings!  Gorgeous and simple.

Supplies:
2 metal wire baskets (Dollar Tree)
Metal Floral wire (Dollar Tree)
String of 100 White Christmas Lights: http://amzn.to/2rMMhCK

To hang:
Attach hook to hanging mechanism on pergola or outdoor fixture.  To hang lower and make the chain longer, use the leftover excess chain from one of the metal planter baskets.

Hey guys!  In this video I share with you an amazing deal I found yesterday at Costco!  The 365 Happy Planner, full packs of stickers and inserts, and 24 months worth of planning (that includes the rest of 2017 and all of 2018) was on sale for just $9.97.  This pack retails for $50!– that’s 80% savings.  The price would be worth it just for the extras included.  I’m not sponsored, I just spotted this deal and scooped it up!

Dollar Store Car Organization!

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

I’ve shared car organization videos every year for the past three years, but this is my first year sharing a car video with our beloved minivan which we recently got. We haven’t got to insuring it yet, but a friend of ours told us to go to somewhere like One Sure Insurance for it. Not only this, but as my kids continue growing, I’ve learned that less is more and my car stays clutter free. It’s not perfect (but it’s organized). In this video I share with you my best car organization tips for a family, but these tricks and hacks would work in any car. I shared a segment on Charlotte Today this week and it prompted me to make this video, and I hope it inspires you to try some of these simple solutions in your car! You can find the free printable here!
