How to make DIY Dollar Tree Shabby Chic Easter Decor

The first thing you’re going to do to make this adorable Easter decor is pick your picture. I used a design from Dollar Tree’s Simply Blessed 2021 Calendar!

I love Dollar Tree’s calendars because they are PERFECT for crafting with! Simply pull the page out that has the design you want to use, and all you have to do is decoupage it onto your surface!

Next, you need to get your surface ready. For this easy DIY decor, I used the back of an egg-shaped sign from Dollar Tree as my surface. First, I painted the surface black with Apple Barrel Black Acrylic Paint.

Allow the paint to completely dry before moving on. Then, apply a coat of Mod Podge on the sign where you’re going to place the design.

I placed my design at the top of the egg sign, so I didn’t have to put Mod Podge across the bottom of the egg.

Carefully place your design onto the Mod Podge. Try your best to avoid creating any wrinkles or creases.

If any do form, place a piece of plastic saran wrap over the surface and use a rolling pin to smooth out the imperfections.

Allow the Mod Podge to dry, then remove the excess paper from around the edges of your surface. I just lightly went around the edges of the sign with a sanding sponge to remove the excess paper.

Next, I went over the exposed black spaces of the Dollar Tree egg-shaped sign with Folkart White Chalk Paint. I just lightly painted those areas and it created a distressed look.

Allow the paint to dry, then get your burlap ribbon and Dollar Tree nautical rope. I cut 3 strips of burlap ribbon that would fit across the widest part of the egg sign.

Bring it all together

I started adding the ribbon by hot gluing the first piece with the bottom of the ribbon aligned with the bottom of the design.

I hot glued the second piece of ribbon halfway overlapping the first piece of ribbon and halfway over the white space at the bottom of the egg.

Lastly, I hot glued the third piece halfway overlapping the second piece and covering the last bit of white space at the bottom of the egg.

Once your glue dries, use a pair of scissors to trim the excess ribbon from around the sign.

Now you need your nautical rope. I hot glued the end of the rope at the bottom edge of the egg and started hot gluing the rope around the outer edge of the egg until I made a complete circle.

Next, you need your greenery and floral sprays! I used lamb’s ear from Walmart and some adorable white and light pink flowers from Dollar Tree.

I hot glued two pieces of lamb’s ear greenery with the end’s crossing to the center of the burlap ribbon strip at the bottom of the egg sign.

Then, I started placing the flowers and hot gluing them to create a floral arrangement.

Make a bow

We’re almost done! Next, you’re going to make a little bow out of white lace ribbon and jute twine.

First, I folded a piece of ribbon into the shape of a bow and hot glued it to the wreath on the calendar design. Then, I tied the twine into a bow and hot glued it overtop the ribbon bow.

The last step of making this adorable Easter decor is to add your hanger! Luckily for me, the Dollar Tree egg-shaped sign already had a hole at the top for a hanger, so all I had to do was loop the twine through the hole and tie it in a knot!
