I love to find ways to create a " Look for Less "
project for decorating the home.
I decided to spend some time strolling the
Dollar Tree to see if anything inspired me...
I love a wall with a plate collection!
Since I love to use neutrals in the Dior home
this was a perfect fit...
I purchased a vinyl shelf liner that the Dollar Tree
carries that is called " Toile Taupe " along
with five of their smaller silver platters
found in the aisle with disposable baking products...
Supplies used were the following:
4 rolls of Toile Taupe vinyl shelf lining 12 x 30"
5 small silver serving platters
1 roll of grosgrain ribbon {ivory}
Glue gun or Double stick tape
All items were purchased for this at Dollar Tree.
Total cost right at 10.00 $
I made paper templates to use and trace the vinyl liner
then adhered them to each plate.
Then I added a 4 inch gross grain ribbon tab
on back of the plate with my glue gun.
Using small finishing nails I hung them
placing them at different heights.
This was fast and easy
and I loved the simple elegance of the overall result.
With the remaining leftover of shelf liner
I covered vinyl placemats
from the Dollar Tree to add
a touch of Toile to my ironstone dishes.
I did this by using double stick tape
to adhere the shelf liner to the placemat
I love that since it is vinyl as well you can easily
wipe spills after using them.
After smoothing out any air pockets
I trimmed the excess off of the mat
There were quite a few patterns to choose from
but I loved this Toile print.
I will be doing this project with my Gracie girl
to hang in her bedroom.
And to my most adorable
Mr. Dior who thought maybe
after my Rubber Door Mat Wall Art
Dollar Store project that I might just
be a ONE HIT wonder I think
this one may win a few fans { I hope }...
I will be linking up this week
with my favorite gals in Blogland...

ReplyDeleteKate this is such a great simple idea for booth decor in trade shows!
ReplyDeleteI have to say we used a ton of those platters from the dollar store for our wedding reception :)
And loving your use of boots in all your displays.
I want to put boots all over my house now, lol
Wishing we could be in town to see your displays in person but alas can't get away anytime soon :(

Hi, Kate... I LOVE the Dollar Store and have seen those platters. Which I agree are fabulous. However, I will have to make another trip there as I didn't see the toile shelf liner. That is amazing! Another fab idea and so glad you kept your reputation in tact. One hit wonder, my eyeball!!! LOL
