All she needed to pull off the cute accessories for her kids' playroom was a few blocks of wood, teal spray paint, and some wood glue.

Paneled Mirror
It's hard to believe that this beautiful paneled mirror cost Dollar Store Crafts blogger Heather just $11 to make. Even better: No special tools are required to make it! All you need is duct tape and glue. If you think this mirror looks familiar, several high-end stores sell their own versions for a lot more than $10. (This one at Pottery Barn, for instance, is $299.)

The bloggers over at Two It Yourself were looking for a simple solution to give their dollar store trash can a chic twist. Using leftover rope, they were able to replicate cans that can cost up to $50 for just $2.
