I challenged myself to create 12 Days of DIYs for Christmas – and ended up with six videos and over 40 actual projects! In this post, I’ll share my three Buy or DIY videos using Dollar Tree items to recreate expensive-looking items from Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Anthropologie. Vote in the comments: which would you buy, and which would you DIY?
Day 1: West Elm Recreations
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three West Elm Christmas decor recreations from the Dollar Tree! Today I’m making a white lacquered nutcracker, a forest globe ornament, and a wooden house advent calendar using all things from Dollar Tree (the wood house I thrifted, but the sticker on the back says it was originally from Dollar Tree).

You’ll Need:
- bottle brush trees
- glass terrarium (option for the forest ornament)

Day 3: Potter Barn Recreations
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 10 Pottery Barn gifts made from things at Dollar Tree!
