  • Hi everyone and welcome to my channel, today I'll show you a Dollar tree makeover! I've already used these doll houses to make Diagon Alley shops, and this year I've decided to make Christmas shops! I used real Paris shops sign photos for them, to they look exactly like Old World vintage shops)
    Signs and backdrops templates:
    drive.google.c...
    drive.google.c...
    I"m not sure US Dollar trees have these exact houses, but I've found them on Aliexpress, here is the link:

    a.aliexpress.c...
    And some more links for the stuff that may be useful for this makeover:
    aerosol primer:

    You can also use a 2 in 1 paint which is selfpriming, like this one (this listing is for 6 cans, so this is just to give you idea of what I mean, I'm sure they are sold offline in stores):
    amzn.to/3pLSufV
    or this one:
    amzn.to/30XpIyr
    bottlebrush trees: amzn.to/3VpWhwK
    pipe cleaners: amzn.to/3CJxn3C
    seed beads: amzn.to/3Co8IjE
