20 Farmhouse Decor from the Dollar Store Projects

Stop by the dollar store and grab everything you need to fill your home with charming farmhouse decor – without breaking the bank!

farmhouse decor from the dollar store? oh yes!

Am I the only one that walks into those fancy home decor stores and is scared half to death I’m going to break something?

No? Whew! 

Shopping is fun – but between the “bull in a china shop” anxiety and the prices, it’s enough to make me need a cocktail. Because I’d much rather shop for things to DIY my own farmhouse decor. That’s totally more my speed. So let’s take a trip to the dollar store – and YES – you can totally make every one of these farmhouse decor ideas from the dollar store!

FARMHOUSE DECOR PROJECTS FROM THE DOLLAR STORE

CRAFT SUPPLIES

Who knew you could make farmhouse decor with items from the dollar store? BEAUTIFUL IDEAS!Cotton stems are quintessential farmhouse decor that never seems to go out of style – but they are SO expensive. Grab a bag of cotton balls and make these beautiful DIY cotton stems from Twelve on Main

This was made with dollar store supplies?!? I would have never thought you could get such great farmhouse style on such a small budget.

Grab a couple of supplies from the craft section to make this pretty moss wreath. I’ve seen them sell for up to $100 – but I made these for less than $2 each!

BOOKS

I never thought about making farmhouse decor from the dollar store - but these unbound book stacks looks so pretty!

Major home catalogs have been using unbound book bundles as props for years – and for good reason – it’s a cheap way to make a big impact! Grab a few books from the dollar store, rip the covers off, tie them together with some jute twine, and you’ll have fancy looking farmhouse decor for next to nothing!
