My Dollar General Shopping Guide for DIY

Check out My Dollar General Shopping Guide as I share with you what I never pass up while looking for things for my DIY Projects.

My number one tip. Always look past the appearance and imagine the possibilities!

{Where I Look First}

The first part of My Dollar General Shopping Guide is where to start. I always start in the Seasonal Isle. Here you will find the things that will focus one whatever Holiday is coming up, all the things that have to do with the Season (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer), along with a new release of home decor and if you head there after one of the Holidays/Seasons you find some very generously discounted goodies that didn’t sell (this is where you try to rack up)

{What type of things I look for}

The second part of My Dollar General Shopping Guide is the type of things I look for.

Signs that can you can add to it or visualize it to be used as a clean slate.

Wood Signs/Blanks

I would say the number one thing I look for is wood signs. These can be shapes signs, or a sign you can paint ect. & they normally range $1-$3. This is what I mean by looking for things that have good “bones”. These can be used for the main material to create many projects!

Signs that embellishments that can be taken off to be made into somthing else.

Signs or Decor that can be UNembellished

I also look for things that might have things that I can take off (florals, embellishments, bows ect.) These things can be taken off and most of the time whatever they are attached to, can be used as the foundation to a DIY project.

Sesonal Decor Signs that can be easily transitioned to custom home decor signs.

Seasonal Home Decor

You will find that a lot of the decor can easily be transformed, giving it a new look with or simply just change the color. And always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS (cant stress it enough) !BUY MULTIPLES! Especially if you love it, have a vision for it, or it would be great to use for many projects! Especially snag a few if you feel it will be something you might want in the future before everyone else snags the, after they watch their favorite crafter do a DIY Live over on FB using it! lol Because those babies will be gone before you know it and you wont be able to find it!
