Crafting with Dollar Store Cutting Boards
If you haven’t taken a stroll down the kitchen aisle at the Dollar Tree lately, you’re seriously missing out!
My local Dollar Tree always has these little cutting boards in stock. And while I’m sure they’re fine for chopping and meal prep, I would much rather craft with them.
Here are some dollar store craft ideas using cutting boards that I think you’ll enjoy:

This lemon dollar store craft from DIY with Amber would make a fantastic touch to any kitchen or dining room for spring and summer.

Display a favorite family photo or even a recipe card on this cutting board-turned-photo display board. Such a cute and creative DIY.
