Dollar Tree DIY Summer Doll Rooms

My newest series is a challenge to create a new room style made 100% out of Dollar Tree Items…the only exception is glue, paint, and the occasional cereal box. Each month I’ve selected a new room style/theme and then record a video tour showing the items I used to create the room. The videos can be seen on Instagram (links below). Each quarter I will post these rooms in a recap here on a the blog. Check out the current rooms below and stay tuned for more each quarter!
