Am I the only one who feels a little overwhelmed with allll of the AMAZING ideas all over the blogs?! I look at them after a long day in my classroom, which was followed by a 3.5 hour grad class, and I feel so behind!
That being said, I stopped by the Dollar Store to see what inspired me (after said grad class last night!). This project was quick, easy, and cheap. Just what I need right now 
Here’s how you can make your own:
Buy 2 very tacky plaques (already with hangers on the back) from the Dollar Store:
UGH…do people actually buy these things and NOT cover them up?!
First, I painted the plaques with white paint that was leftover from another project. I then let them dry overnight:
Then I got home from work today, measured, taped off, and painted a stripe in the middle with one of my new favorite colors
Waited for it to dry, and then hot-glued snowflakes from the Dollar store ($1 for a pack of 3) to the middle.
And…it’s done!
Here they are hanging on my wall (I just took down 2 frames we had, so I didn’t have to put new hangers into the wall). I really like that this can be used after Christmas too!
Total Cost? Just $3 for both! As I said…perfect for my very minimal budget and time constraints
Linking up to parties on my sidebar, plus:
I love this! I think I am going to stop by the $1 tree on my lunch break tomorrow and make some! I am craving an easy project too…. I feel so behind & want to craft but there are so many things that I NEED to do before that
Thanks for the cute idea!
I can't believe you got those at the dollar store…They actually look like they could have come from Pottery Barn,Take care,Lisa
Those are fabulous! They look great and are so easy!
Those are gorgeous! I so love me some snowflakes and love the way you have them displayed. And yes, I get overwhelmed too!
Very cute!! I lurve the Doll-ah Tree! I bought the same snowflakes but wasn't quite as creative as you!! Those are fab!! I actually took a close up pic of the flakes on my tree for my blog.
Ah, perfect! Those signs crack me up. I always go looking for the shape of the signs, not the content! Ha!
Very pretty and so creative. You have to love the dollar store!
Your creations have very good design, and look much more expensive than what you have invested in them! Just beautiful, Christina! Thank you for sharing!
So pretty love them…thanks for sharing
Beautiful! Got to get to the Dollar store tomorrow before they all get gone!
I LOVE these! I'm so glad you linked them up!

I am also a teacher (and have finished grad school and an admin liscense in the last six years) so I hear you! LOVED your idea. I am going to get on it as soon as this week is over!
So simple and pretty…i wonder what else you could do for any other season? what a great idea!
cute easy fun CHEAP….well done. what you don't like the cat and dog thing – that doesn't go with your decor? Ha!
whoa whoa-i don't know about covering up an adorable bulldog, lol. but when you're covering it with something this nice, i suppose it's ok! looks super chic.
What a simple yet beautiful idea. I really think those snowflakes are so pretty, can't believe they came from the dollar store. Hugs-Carrie
These are so nice! They look lovely on your wall!
