Hey guys, I’m Kristin, and in this video I’m finally getting those Dollar Tree calendars out of the closet and putting them to good use. I’m using the $1 calendar pages (especially the 2024 Farm Life one—yes, the cow is my favorite) and pairing them with thrifted surfaces from Goodwill/ASIS to make budget-friendly farmhouse decor that honestly looks way more high-end than it should. I’ll show you exactly how I cut the pages, center them before I commit (because once it’s down… it’s down), and use my trusty Elmer’s glue stick to get everything smooth—even on rough thrifted wood. I walk you through several easy projects: a cow sign with a “Homestead” stencil look using chalk paste colors I love (bright white and eucalyptus), a painted sign where I dry brush to help the calendar background blend, a cute summer berry patch box makeover (with buffalo check and strawberries), a wreath-focused “Home Sweet Home” sign using a torn-apart thrifted piece, and a simple wood round that says “Farmhouse” with Dollar Tree beads around the edge. My biggest takeaway: calendars are basically craft gold—mix them with thrift finds, dry brush for blending, and reuse what you already have to save money (and honestly, it just makes crafting more fun).
