Check out some of the best Dollar Store Crafts from this week!

 

I am challenging myself to Make Something Cool Everyday in April (with only stuff from my dollar store stash), so it's been a supercrafty week for me. It's been really fun to know that every day I have to make SOMETHING.

Kid Shorts From a Dish Towel: $1

 

Inspired by a few projects online in which people made skirts for their toddlers out of dish towels, I thought I'd try my hand at making a pair of shorts for my son using a dish towel. One of my favorite things about dollar store crafting is taking an existing item and making it into something totally different. I'm not much of a designer, but it makes me feel like I'm participating in my own private Project Runway challenge. (I know, points would be deducted on PR for using something fabric-like as, gasp, fabric!)
