Why I love this craft
This craft is a great way to decorate while creating something useful. I also love how I was able to incorporate a Dollar Tree placemat. Not to mention, with this being an upcycle, this craft only costs the price of the placemat!
What hot glue gun do I use?
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the hot glue gun I use, so I thought I’d link it here. It has an ergonomic detail tip, which makes precision gluing easier. Also, having the lever on top makes it better when holding it.
The inspiration for this craft:
I was inspired by the red and blue placemats I saw at the dollar store. This craft is part of a series I just released, 4 NEW Dollar Store Placement Crafts and DIYs. So pick up a handful of placemats and give them a try!
