Make this cheap and easy, two-in-one, mid-century modern DIY wood vase or lamp with just a few Dollar Tree items.
Mid-Century modern interiors are filled with clean lines, interesting patterns and an understated appearance. This style has made a comeback and I’m here for it. With all trendy interior looks, I want the latest and greatest, but I don’t want to pay out of the nose for it when it’s only going to be in style for a couple of years.
So, I decided to see what I could make with Dollar Tree items. I’m always looking for ways to make Dollar Tree DIY home décor items, because, well, I’m cheap! LOL. I’m ok with admitting this.
As I looked around the dollar store, I was looking for the clean lines and patterns that is so reminiscent of the mid-century look. I found this plastic bathmat and this plastic sink mat in the kitchen and bath areas. I loved the shapes and didn’t know which one I wanted to use the most, so I got them both. Then I picked up four 4×8 canvas with the wooden frames, as well as a two-pack of the 4×8 flat panel canvases. I also picked up a pack of wooden square cubes too.
I decided I wanted to make a diy flower vase, but very quickly thought I could also turn this into a lantern, lamp or nightlight. Let me show you how I did it.
