Make A Beautiful Mother's Day Decor Gift With Dollar Tree Finds

Few things are more personal to a mother than the faces of her children. Photos that capture all their smiling faces are like a bouquet of flower blossoms. The analogy is so apt that it's not surprising that TikTokker @bargain.bethany made a beautiful Mother's Day décor gift that featured a bouquet in four Dollar Tree frames. These framed family photos became the basis for a square-shaped vase of flowers suitable enough to decorate a mantel or a brunch table, and personal enough to usher in the holiday that celebrates the moms in our midst.

The DIY décor requires four Dollar Tree frames. You can use any 5-inch by 7-inch frame style of your choice. However, given the fact that this is going to be a decorative item for a holiday, you'll want to choose the right frames for the project. These should have a "dressier" look, like the Dollar Tree glitter gold frame. The project also requires four different family photographs. These adorn the four sides of what will eventually be the square vase. Green floral foam, fresh flowers, and a square of cardboard are the rest of the materials you need to pull the vase together. Finally, you'll need a few tools for this DIY. A pen or pencil, glue gun, and scissors will help you mold and shape this craft project into a memorable bouquet of flowers and faces.

Mother's Day flower displays typically involve a vase that's ready for flowers. With this project, you'll have to assemble the vase. It starts with four picture frames, which you've filled with the family photos of your choice. They'll need to fit into the window of the picture frame, so you'll have to measure them, cut the pictures out, and then fill the frames with them.

Once the photo frames have pictures in them, they'll need to be glued together until they form four sides of a box. The bottom of the box will be closed by a piece of cardboard that you've measured to fit, and the top of the box remains open to accommodate the green floral foam and the flowers. All of this is secured in place by glue from the hot glue gun. As for the flowers, you'll trim and shape them before sticking them into the floral foam as a bouquet.

The box-shaped vase doesn't have an additional base to stand on, so consider something like the stoneware pillar pedestals, on which thicker, taller décor can stand. If you put a little glue on the flat top of the pedestal, the adhesive should be strong enough to stick to the cardboard bottom of the vase. The other option is to lose the flowers and replace them with an electric LED candle. A dot or two of glue or some double-sided adhesive should keep the candle inside the picture frame vase, and the display of family photos will add personality to your home.
