This post is brought to you by Dollar Tree and uses affiliate links, but nothing that I wouldn’t wholeheartedly recommend anyway! Read my full disclosure here.

I don’t know about you guys, but every time I walk into Dollar Tree, it’s like gravity just pulls me over to the right side of the store where all the fun seasonal products are displayed.

I can’t help but wander down the aisles and look at all the fun things just waiting to be turned into dollar store crafts.

Their Valentine’s Day products this year are so cute, I actually ended up finding supplies for a couple of different projects! I can’t wait to show you this cute DIY Valentine’s Day dollar store craft.

Supplies to make a fun dollar store Valentine's day craft

Supplies for Valentine’s Day Dollar Store Craft:

Painting small terracotta pots white with a small sponge brush

Step 1. Paint pots white.

Paint mini terra cotta pot with white acrylic paint. I used a simple foam paintbrush and it only needed one coat.

Use a Valentine's day themed ribbon to decorate the rim of your terracotta pot
Applying glue to the painted terra cotta pot to attach Valentine's ribbon
Wrap a Valentine's ribbon around the top edge of the painted terra cotta pot

And… just since you guys haven’t seen our little dog lately, here’s Gannon helping out again! 🙂

Step 2. Attach ribbon

Next, you will attach the festive ribbon to the top of the terra cotta pot. I used my “never-fails” 3-in-1 craft glue.

Add heart sticks to a Styrofoam block placed in the Valentines Day pot

Step 3. Add in heart picks.

To add the heart picks, I just broke off a corner from some styrofoam packing supplies I had. I used three Dollar Tree heart picks and differing heights. I just broke the wood sticks to the height I wanted and stuck them into the styrofoam.

Although it’s not shown in the picture here, I added in a 4th pick with a DIY felt rosette attached because I felt like it needed something more.

Step 4. Decorate your pot.

I glued on some glitter heart confetti to the outside of the pot. I used my 3-in-1 glue here again.

Step 5. Cover styrofoam

I used strips of tissue paper to cover the styrofoam. Alternatively here, you could use paper or crinkle paper shreds.

Step 6. Make tag.

I just cut out a strip of paper into a flag shape and did some hand lettering of “let love grow”. Quick tip for hand letter calligraphy, you want to make every downstroke thick.

Step 7. Glue flag to pick.

I just wrapped the flag around one of the picks and secured it with some 3-in-1 glue.
