I also think about the sizing for each so the proportions look right…

The fun of Dollar Tree is searching out the craft items to inspire your creations. I have 4 stores near me, and I can find different treasures at each one! It can get out of control because everything is so cute and only $1.25 of course, but I learned from a YouTube creator to only buy items you need for a planned project. Don’t impulse buy because those…
