11 Easy Dollar Store DIY Craft Projects to Decorate Your Apartment on a Budget

diy dollar store craft ideas

So I absolutely adore the Dollar Store! Especially when it comes to finding things for Dollar Store DIY craft projects. It’s like a big treasure box, and you never know what you might find inside! When it comes to DIY projects, I always recommend hitting the Dollar Store first before anywhere else. You are sure to save a few bucks every time!

During my latest trip, I was surprised to find so many items that I could use to decorate my apartment. They have a little bit of everything for every room in the house. I started searching the web for some inspiration and decided to share some of my favorites. These craft projects are so clever and won’t break the bank!

To make things even better, all of these crafts are apartment rental friendly. For any of the wall hangings, they will either only require a small hole or the use of command strips. Most apartment rental organizations are perfectly fine with you drilling small holes to hang pictures and such, as they are pretty easy to cover back up.
