Okay, if I’m being honest (and I always want to be honest), this is really a $2.50 DIY. But how eye-catching would a “$2.50 DIY” title be? Not very eye-catching, in my opinion.
I am loving this DIY. It’s even more simple than my first or second DIYs. I will share once again that I am not very crafty, but I do enjoy a very simple (and I’m talking very simple), inexpensive DIY. That’s what I have for you today!
Where did I shop and what did I get?
For this DIY I stopped at my favorite store for DIYs, the Dollar Tree!! I picked up an 8×10 black frame.
Then I picked up a place mat for $1.50 from the Christmas Tree Shop. I love the colors and texture!
What did I do?
I took out the innards of the frame. Cut the mat to fit and placed it inside the frame. Then I replaced the frame’s backing. Voila! It’s so simple, so cute and functional. I am using this tray on my nightstand. What do you think?
I did buy an additional frame and place mat just so you could see how different each tray can be. I styled this one in a variety of ways.
It might be fun to find a mat, wrapping paper, or burlap and create a festive theme for this season. The options are endless, and I like the fact that I can swap out the mat whenever I like. I also like the fact that this DIY cost me just $3 (or $2.50)!
What about you? Have you created any fun DIYs recently?
Until next time,
Charissa
