Dear Mary Thanks a bunch. I am from Sri Lanka and there is no Dollar tree but your ideas give me ideas where I can adopt. Love your videos and I must say I bumped into your videos by accident and I am happy that I did. Stay safe
Thank you for the lovely class and information today..What a Beautiful lil lady! I love the clip board craft ..Thank you again and Have a Beautiful Blessed Day!!
Thank you for sharing this video. I am always looking for ideas to save money. Stamps are expensive enough! Any idea to organize and save money is totally a thumbs up in my book. Love your slim cards. Also, I was trying to see how you organize your dies. Maybe I missed your video.
thanks for sharing. love dollar store items that can be used outside the box. I have used the clear nail polish to add shine or dimension on my cards. use straight from the bottle and use the brush. thanks again.
@@marypolancodesigns But that is why you are so beloved as a RUclipsr. You are so "real" and non-pretentious. 😊❤ I have learned a lot from your tutorials, tips, and I gained much confidence in my own paper crafting adventures along the way. I love the balloon stencil slimline tutorial, and did a decent job with it because of you. Never change Mary! 😉
I just found you and I am thoroughly impressed with your ideas and demos!!! There are so many Dollar Tree sites- but the way you present the tips, your tone of voice ( excited but not over the top or saccharine), and you show simple, practical uses for Dollar Tree products that everyone can use!
Lol lol Mary, you crack me up; your so stinkin funny with your comments. Oh I actually hit 4 yes 4 dollar tree stores yesterday. I’m looking for the dies but I guess here in FL we don’t have them. I did pick up that glitter glue and was pretty happy with them. I will probably pick up more colors. Only got the clear n silver. I been hitting the dollar tree very very often for my other papercrafting too. Loved all your suggestions. Happy Crafting my friend.
Mary, that was fantastic, I love those gold silver and white markers. Use a lot of their bins for my stamps and even some dies. Been hoping to find the dies they are now selling. No luck yet. But, I did buy 10 of the larger wooden bins to glue together, then paint for ink pad storage. Not sure how to video but your more than welcome to preview it on your channel. I bought one ink pad storage shelf and it cost $95 shipped. Way to pricy for all of my different ink collections. Tfs. Blessings!
I use ‘Button Folders’ with names of each of the months on it. Then, when I make a special card for my family/friends’ bday I put it in the folder of their birthday month!
Yeahhh that's freaking genius! Monthly organizers for cards, savings, bills, budgeting, recipes to try, seasonal stickers...I could go ok. Such inspiration!
Hi 🙋♀️ Mary, you double up on the cork to make a place your pictures. Thanks for sharing. Happy crafting on a budget 💲. Happy everything on a budget💲. See👁 you in the next 🎥 and on the flipside. 👼🌹
Omgosh I love cheap, if it works. Oh how I love your channel. These vids u share, are so appreciated. Please pkease share more. You think outside the box, which is so great, n then u share with us. Thank u.
Omgoodness, I was so excited to see this video come up....you always put a smile on my face, not to mention your great ideas! I have one for you tho'.....well you may know it already, but, I use an empty pill bottle to hold my bottle of glue upside down on my desk....now tell me this one is new to you and you love it! LOL Please keep sharing these DT videos, I love your cheerful personality and inspirations!
Oh my goodness...you are so funny!! I just bought one of those water bottles for my granddaughter and didn't realize till we got it home that the bottom comes off. I was telling her how great that would be to put snacks in. Now I have to go back and get one for myself so I can put my shammy in there. I hate standing at the sink waiting for water to absorb and soften it up. Guess a bowl would do the sameLOL
I really like these Dollar Tree videos. I’ve used a silicone mat for the flue gun, but the silicone mitt one was really good, I think it would even protect your fingers fro, getting inky when cleaning. Bonus!
Mary, you are awesome!!! I know different dollar tree stores carry different things so I hope my store carries those things!! I will have to check it out next week!! Thanks for sharing!!! So glad to see you posted another video!!! :) BIG HUGS!!!
Thank you for all of these fantastic inexpensive product ideas for my craft space! I really like the plastic storage too! I’ve been using the button folders to hold my odd size paper scraps and paper packs! I think the coupon holder is a fabulous idea for slim line card storage! Never thought of that.one. Love your video’s, Mary! I would love to have your crafty set up!
I so feel you on wetting my chamois! I always forget until I am into my project and need it. You are not lazy, you are resourceful! Also, you are not cheap you are frugal! Thanks for the laughs! BTW, a lot of hole punches can be adjusted by the screws if your project gets stuck or if you want to change the thickness. This may only be on the industrial one I used at work but worth a shot to check. You can change the width of the holes too. I look forward to your next video!
Giselle, this was so very helpful, thank you so much! I will give it a shot with the punch. And thanks for the encouragement, I really don't like to get up and wet my scrubby and like you, forget until I need it.
OMG you are so awesome! I use the 3 compartment boxes for everything in my craft room, stickles, glue bottles, pop dots, etc. I love the pocket idea and silicone mat also. I have a couple of lipstick holders for glue, stylus etc handy on my craft counter. I also glued a large metal washer to a film canister to hold my glue bottle upside down, doesn't topple over. Thanks for the hacks!
I wished I'd watched this before going to Walmart yesterday, since I was looking for a silicone mat to make nuvo enamel dots. I've used acetate that I saw on HedgehogHollow and it didn't work so well. They spread out too much. Instead I got glue dots and made the enamel dots and it worked great. So now I can make any color I want since I got a ton of nuvo drops for Christmas. Thank you so much Mary. Need to go to DT and check out some of these crafting items.
1) Seal the cut edges of the button file with some clear packing tape. 2) Save the sequins from that sacrificial folder - use them as embellishments on cards. Ahhhhh, love me a thrifty video ☺️ Thanks for the tips!
And use your paper trimmer to cut away haggled edges from what’s left of the folder, that dotted sheet could be used for die cuts(probably not thin ones) or other embellishments, or labels for the clear three section boxes, it was really cute and could still be useful!
I love when you go to the Dollar Tree, you always come back with such great tips. I have found that laziness leads to some really great ideas that make you look like a genius to those who aren't in the know. LOL Have you come across metal dies at your Dollar Tree yet? I saw another RUclipsr who got some at her Dollar Tree. I went to 5 different ones in my area and didn't see any.
@@marypolancodesigns oh I'm so sorry it was mentioned at some point in the video I didn't mean to be snarky... I just wanted you to know what you're doing is very much appreciated.
I've found if things get stuck in my hole punch or arc punch, if I take the bottom off I can push the puncher parts (not sure what to call them) and sometimes it saves my projects. Thanks for the video!
I use magnet sheet in a large picture frame (minus the glass obviously) next to my die cut station for most used dies and during a project to keep the dies from the trash.
I hope you saved the sequins from that folder. Would make a cute shaker card. You probably shook some of them up under the punches, which made what you were cutting even thicker. Sequin material does not punch ( tried it once). I would use some fancy duck tape on the button pouch to seal the ends if I were you. We happen to have an industrial sealer, bought really cheap at an auction, it would seal them. I have used it for shaker pouches. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Such great ideas!! For the button folder I would either seal it with red line tape-also can find it at the dollar store-or use washi tape on the edges, will add a little decoration! Just subscribed, will check out your other videos!! TFS!!
Along the lines of the button envelopes/folders, I found zipper envelopes/pouches. They are also plastic, but have a Ziploc-style slider closure. (Not like a clothing zipper.) They easily hold several sheets of up to letter-size (8-1/2x11") paper. They are also gusseted, and so can expand to maybe 1/2" thick or so. I recently had a large card order, and had to keep several colors of cardstock sheets & scraps organized & corralled. The pouches worked beautifully! As for the photo paper, I would NOT recommend it for printing photos. Obviously not alcohol inks, either. :) BUT, there is a cool technique you can do on it with Distress Oxide inks. Do ink smooshing, drying the paper between layers to keep the colors from muddying. (If you use a heat tool, keep in mind that you will warp the paper. If you keep the tool moving, though, it shouldn't warp too too badly.) When you're done, you can even stamp images on top with dark Oxide ink. (I have used Black Soot for that step, though I think any dark color would work.) Make sure the ink is thoroughly dry, then wipe over it (lightly) with a baby wipe. Don't scrub, though! You'll have to wipe it a few times, using different (clean) parts of the baby wipe to keep the colors from smearing much. The colors just magically turn from chalky & dull to bold & shiny. It's basically the same technique Tim Holtz demonstrated with glossy cardstock & Distress Micro Glaze. Just a LOT cheaper! Best part? You can get a total of 32 A2-size (quarter-sheet) panels from one $1 pack of photo paper from Dollar Tree! Full disclosure--this is not my original idea. I learned this from another gal at Splitcoaststampers. Anyway, thanks for sharing your fun & CHEAP finds, Mary. Take care, & I hope you have a fantabulous day! :)
I love this so much; thank you for all the share in here. YAY! Such great ideas for how you use them. Thanks for taking the time to write this up for us.
Perhaps you could add some packing tape to the glitter folders and then use the punch on 1/2 inch overhang. Also to seal the edges of the button envelopes instead to staples. Great ideas. TFS

When punching plastic, I find it helps to wrap the edge you are cutting with paper. If you want to try that again. 🙂
Super idea, thank you so much Virginia!

Great haul! Great ideas, too! Sorry about the ripped folder. Tfs.

Thanks, Mary! Glitter nail polish, very cool❤️
YES so fun to use! One of my faves now.
Love that magnetic cork clip board! Thanks for ALL the creative inspiration.

Hi Mary! I too love the dollar tree for crafty things. Storage! Foam squares! So I loved your video. Hope you are doing well.
Thank you so much, Carrie! I hope you are well too. I'm doing ok, ready for Spring and some changes coming up. YAY
Great ideas. I use an old “ booger sucker” that you use on babies. Washed out, of course! LOL. TFS
Awesome idea! Thank you so much!
The bins for the acrylic blocks?! I maaaaay have heard angels singing.
Hahaha..>I love it! thank you so much Tiffany! I feel so much better about opening that drawer! lol
I put the cork on one of the canvas boards and framed it. It made it usable with pushpin!
Amazing idea!!!!
This is a good idea too. I'm still in process of putting my craft room together.
These are great Mary! I like the coupon holder and the button folders the best! Thank you!
YES they are so fun to use. I love them. I just fancied up my button folder with some washi tape

1) Seal the cut edges of the button file with some clear packing tape.
2) Save the sequins from that sacrificial folder - use them as embellishments on cards.
Ahhhhh, love me a thrifty video ☺️ Thanks for the tips!
And use your paper trimmer to cut away haggled edges from what’s left of the folder, that dotted sheet could be used for die cuts(probably not thin ones) or other embellishments, or labels for the clear three section boxes, it was really cute and could still be useful!

That's a great idea! Thank you so much! I knew you all would know what to do!
Mini flat iron to seal the bag perhaps on a low setting or do a test run on a separate folder until you get the desired results?
ooooh I forgot about that idea, YES! Thank you
Great and fun hacks Mary 🥰 thanks for sharing and happy crafting Hugs xx ❤
Thanks so much 😊 These were super fun

Perhaps you could add some packing tape to the glitter folders and then use the punch on 1/2 inch overhang. Also to seal the edges of the button envelopes instead to staples. Great ideas. TFS
Great idea! I will definitely give that a try. Thank you so much!
I use clear packing tape all the time to seal edges like that. Works wonders.
I hope you saved the sequins from the folder that was a goner! 😊 Great ideas!
No...I didn't....argghhhh. I wasn't thinking! Thanks so much Bianca!
