First I want to say thank you for the lady who posted step by step instructions to make the paw wreathe. I went today and made it… my DT was limited in decor (especially in yarn). But, without your post, I’d never have attempted. I messed up in places but I do like it ❤️ (Every item that made this came from DT).

Second, can anyone please help me with how to make bows out of the different ribbon sizes and materials they offer? I can’t for the life of me get them looking how I want. Thanks in advance. 🙂

Just about finished with these Snowmen hat centerpiece Christmas gifts, just need to add snow to some. Everything (wood circles, ribbon, flowers) came from the Dollar Tree except the cans which I got free from local restaurants and the spray paint.

Editing to add picture of finished candle with scarf.
Ok..this is really a super easy craft. Even if you aren't a painter you can do this. These are Dollar tree candles..battery operated. I used multi surface paint as I had it. Mixed pink and burgundy for cheeks and applied with a DT foam dabber. Remember to off load before applying to candle. Then I used a new pencil end for eyes..dot ..simple. then use end of paint brush for mouth. 7 dots..really easy. Then when dry did small white dots in eyes and on cheek..bit of white on nose, don't over think it. super small brush for eyebrows. I put clear matte spray on face area when paint was dry. Walmart goodie bags hold finished product. They are just so cute. I did add scarf after photo.

I recently started doing mug toppers, so please don’t be harsh 🤣 but I used caulk and lightweight spackle and the floral foam dome from dollar tree. Also used the cake decorating kit from dollar tree too (comes with the frosting bags and the frosting tips).

All you need to recreate your own version of something so beautiful like this is a pail with a handle, a floral arrangement of your choice (artificial or natural), 3in ribbon for the pretty handle, and a place to prop it up!

The ribbon is optional. If you have an arrangements that stands up higher than the pail’s original handle, you can allow the flowers to cover the handle and just tie the ribbon to the handles to make a new and prettier looking handle!

Dollar tree has a cute selection of artificial flowers but a small selection of pails however you can get one anywhere. They have awesome selection of spring/summer ribbon too!

Happy Crafting!

I like to make dolls. I use some of the materials from DT such as flowers for the hair, flannel blanket to wrap the doll in, bows or flowers to decorate the doll and clothes, rhinestones to sew on the clothes and of course hot glue sticks to glue hair, flowers, etc, on.

My take on the light up presents people are making. Everything is from dollar tree except the ribbon. (I make dog collar bows so I have a ton of ribbon just hanging around 😅) it's a gold present but the lighting in this room makes it look green 🙃

Our Story

Owned and operated by Ralph & Donna Quillin & Son Vince Grupposo, Quillin Leather & Tack is a full service tack and leather goods shop and the largest "custom shops" in the nation. They take pride in their craftsmanship and it shows. Halters are made in small batches and their "made to order" philosophy sets them apart as a provider of quality leather goods and service world wide.

Quillin’s has been in business since 1982, based out of their Main St. shop in Paris, KY. On average they make over 17,000 halters a year with 20 employees working in the shop. They also produce many belts, dog collars and personal leather goods plus feature an onsite engraving shop and complete repair service. "We still hand craft halters the way they were made at the turn of the century." Ralph Quillin said "it's what you would expect when the owners name is out front"

They recently announced an expansion into a second 4000 sq foot location Downtown Paris on Main St. which will serve as a second showroom and primary halter production space for their growing Export Market. As long-time fans of their work, we can attest to the quality and craftsmanship! To find out more and keep up with their news head over to the links below:
