Valentine’s Day faux mini pie
I love making these darling faux mini pies. I’ve shared many of them here, on my Instagram page and on my YouTube channel. They are so cute to decorate with on a tiered tray, on a shelf or vignette in your kitchen. They also make a thoughtful gift too!
SUPPLIES
- Mini pie dish or ramekins. I get them at HomeGoods and I stocked up on some when I found ceramic ramekins that were perfect for these at Dollar Tree last fall.
- Stuffing from an old pillow or you can find it at the craft store.
- Muslin – I get mine at Hobby Lobby. It’s inexpensive but you can save even more when you purchase it on sale.
- Scrap fabric for heart.
- Glitter. I used glitter from Hobby Lobby and Recollections extra fine glitter in snow from Michaels.
- Spray glue – I get it at Dollar Tree or Hobby Lobby
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Accents – I make a cute little stamped tag using my clickable stamps (HERE) and a button. The buttons I use are from a jar of buttons from Walmart.

Homespun Heart Door Hanger
I absolutely love how this heart door hanger turned out. It’s 2 feet long too! And guess what I used to make this? Foam board from Dollar Tree!
I love using foam board from Dollar Tree to make these oversized door hangers. I’ve shared several of these in the past including a gingerbread, Christmas tree, pumpkin, bunny, and mittens.
Not only is this cute as a door hanger, but you can hang this anywhere in your home or even as a wall sitter too. It would look super cute leaning against a blanket ladder or shelf.
Supplies
- Foam board from Dollar Tree
- 3/4 yard homespun fabric, or any fabric that coordinates with your style. I get my homespun at Hobby Lobby.
- Box cutter or similar. I use a rotary cutter.
- Spray glue or spray adhesive
- Twine or wire to hot glue to the back to hang
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Accents – I used raffia, some greenery, pip berry and a tag.

Mop Head Heart Wreath
This soft and cuddly heart wreath is so easy to make with most of the supplies from Dollar Tree.
To give it a rustic look I like to coffee stain my mop heads.
How to Coffee Stain Mop Heads
I stain my mop heads and muslin in coffee to give it more of a primitive/rustic look. To do this, I take 2 quarts warm water plus 1 cup instant coffee in a large bucket and mix it until dissolved.
Next I dip my mop heads in the coffee mixture and then ring it out. I do this a few times until I get the desired look. Then I set it aside to dry. The mop heads absorb a lot of liquid so I wring and rinse them out really well until I get the desired look.
For smaller projects like this I usually eye ball the instant coffee to warm water since I don’t need as much. For the mop heads I usually do about 4-5 cups water and sprinkle in the instant coffee, about 1/4 cup of so.
Supplies
- Wire heart wreath form from Dollar Tree
- 4 mop heads from Dollar Tree
- Ribbon or muslin to hang
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Any additional accents if desired

Rustic Heart Muffin Pan
I found this cute heart muffin pan at Dollar Tree and knew I wanted to play with it for a craft. I ended up deciding to give it a rustic look with my favorite technique, Mod Podge and Cinnamon.
I love doing this method and I have shared this on a lot of crafts. The end result of applying Mod Podge and cinnamon is a rustic look.
I usually spray paint the item before I apply the Mod Podge and cinnamon. I like to use Rust Oleum in the color Espresso.
For this muffin tin I opted to save the step of spray painting it and just applied the Mod Podge and cinnamon.
Working in sections I simply apply a coat of Mod Podge, sprinkle it with cinnamon, tap the excess off, then gently dab Mod Podge on top of the cinnamon. Once it’s covered, I set it aside to dry.
Supplies
- Heart muffin tin from Dollar Tree
- Matte Mod Podge
- Cinnamon
- Accents – I wrapped torn homespun around the pan and a tag using my clickable stamps. You can find the clickable stamps I use HERE.
