How to make this Dollar Tree USA Shelf Sitter

If you want to see the full supply list or video tutorial, just scroll to the bottom of this page!

Start by staining the sides of one of the Home blocks with brown paint. Then, paint the other three blocks with the Craftsmart navy acrylic paint.

Paint the USA letters with white paint and once the brown stain is dry on the first Home block, paint over the sides and the front with white paint.

Allow all of the paint to dry, then lightly distress the blue houses. Cut the quart paint sticks to create little roofs for each of the houses.

Next, cut a piece of scrapbook paper to the same size as one of the Home blocks. Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the front of the white block and place the scrapbook paper on the surface.

Glue the roof pieces onto each of the blocks. Then, glue the USA letters onto the blue blocks and the star onto the buffalo check block.

Lastly, glue the wood craft cubes in between each block to secure them all together. Once the glue is dry, you’re ready to decorate with this Dollar Tree USA shelf sitter!
