Bored This Winter? These Dollar Tree Crafts Start at Just $1.25—and Are So Addictive
From diamond painting to crochet and jewelry, Dollar Tree’s $1.25 craft aisle is your cozy winter escape!
In the midst of this freezing cold winter, you probably find yourself stuck inside with not much to do. When you get tired of reading, watching TV or scrolling on your phone and don’t feel like being productive, crafting is the perfect solutions! And while some crafts can get pricey after you buy all the materials, that’s not always the case—especially when you get your supplies in Dollar Tree’s craft section.
The aisles at the discount dollar store are filled with activities for crafters of any level, from novice to pro. From crocheting to painting, scrapbooking and more, these are Dollar Tree’s best budget-friendly hobbies to take up this winter!
Diamond painting
One popular item in Dollar Tree’s craft aisle is the Crafters Square Diamond Painting projects. They’re a fun way to keep yourself and the little ones in your life entertained on a cold day—and you’ll end up with a pretty painting at the end! The diamond paintings come in a variety of designs, including a butterfly, cactus, cupcake and coffee cup. While you can get a diamond painting set at stores like Michaels for $15 or Hobby Lobby for $6, Dollar Tree’s version is only $1.25!
Each pack comes with everything you need, including the wooden shape of your choice, diamond painting stickers, rhinestones, a sorting tray, silicone clay, a diamond painting pen, a metal keychain and instructions on how to get started. The diamond paintings get rave reviews online, with customers saying it’s an easy and fun activity.
Redditors also enjoy this craft, with dozens of users sharing their positive experience. One person wrote, “This was my first project that got me into DP (diamond painting)!! Was nice to be able to try it out for a lower cost.”
Crocheting
Want to learn how to crochet but don’t want to overspend on your first try? Dollar Tree has everything you’ll need to get started. You can find any type and color of yarn you want in the store, from chenille yarn to worsted yarn. Grab any color at your local store or online for $1.25.
Next, you need to purchase some crochet hooks, which Dollar Tree sells for $1.25 each. The store has different brands with multiple sizes . Try Crafter’s Square plastic hooks, which comes with two per pack or their aluminum hooks, which come one per pack and are available in three sizes.
Beading or jewelry making
Another fun hobby you can try: jewelry making! And Dollar Tree has everything you need. You can find beads in all shapes, sizes, colors and designs, from their simple Crafter’s Square bead sets to their packs of pearls.
One satisfied shopper reviewed the Crafter’s Square bead sets, writing, “I’ve bought these beads several times and I find that the quality is good and the color is bright and lasting. I made jewelry with these beads and they work very well.”
Become a painter
You can easily pick up painting as a hobby by grabbing a few items at Dollar Tree! The store sells all of the items you need to get started and they’re much less expensive than at craft stores. Dollar Tree sells tempera paint—which uses natural binders, dries to a matte finish and reactivates with water—in a wide range of colors. It’s the perfect paint for beginners or kids.
You can also find various types of paint brushes, whether you are looking for easy-to-use sponge brushes or smaller delicate brushes. And don’t forget to grab a painting palette so you can see all of your colors at once. And just as you expect, most items sell for just $1.25 but some sell for $1.50 each.
Whatever hobby you want to pick up this winter, Dollar Tree has something for you. Head in and see what project you can get started on!
