How to Make a Beehive Decoration

 

Learn how to make these DIY Dollar Store Bee Decorations for Spring and Summer decorations on a budget! I made this Honey Bee DIY Dollar Tree farmhouse signs and shared a video tutorial with my Instagram followers and they loved it so much I thought these beehive decorations deserved their own blog post! You can download the SVG files to make some of the signs using a Cricut or Silhouette machines while others are made using Dollar Tree supplies!

I also share how to make a reverse canvas sign! If you would like a more in-depth tutorial on how to make reverse canvas signs, check out this post! I love using Dollar Tree stretched canvas because it’s affordable and they have the cutest little sign sizes. I also like Target stretched canvas which is $1.49 – $1.79 depending on the size canvas. The Target stretched canvas has a wider frame and less staples.

What is Reverse Canvas?

 

Basically, you are removing the white stretched canvas from the wooden frame that’s on the inside and putting the frame on the outside instead. In order to “reverse” the canvas, you need to remove the staples from the back of the frame.

How Do You Remove Reverse Canvas Staples?

 

The staples on the back on an art canvas are not regular office staples so a staple remover will not work. I use a small flat head screwdriver to remove the staples, being very careful not to put your other hand/fingers in front on the area you are working so you don’t jab yourself with the screwdriver! I’ve found that putting pressure down into the wood frame and UNDER that white canvas will loosen the staple enough that it comes out. If there is one side that is stuck on the frame, I use pliers to pull out the staple. It’s a fairly easy process once you get the hang of it!

I show you how to make a reverse canvas using a Cricut machine. If you don’t have a Cricut machine, you can still make this reverse canvas. Making signs with Cricut is a great beginner Cricut project if you are new to Cricut.

 

–>>Watch the How-To video below on how to make a reverse canvas!

 

I used stretched canvas from the Dollar Tree. This reverse canvas sign cost less than $1 to make your own by using supplies from dollar stores!

 

–>>Check out this HUGE list with 30 Cricut Supplies From The Dollar Tree!

 

If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can use pre-cut decals and stencils to paint your own text/image on the canvas.

 

✅ This is the Cricut Machine that I own and use it for everyday materials. I also have this machine but I only use it to cut fabric ????

 

I highly suggest using a Cricut Explore or Silhouette cutting machine to make this project. Just upload the SVG or PNG in the program you use (I use Cricut Design Space), size, cut, and apply!

Dollar Tree Beehive Wreath

I made this Bee Hive wreath using entirely Dollar Tree supplies! I made a pool noodle wreath, wrapped with burlap ribbon, and made the Bee Hive using a Dollar Tree wooden Easter Egg! The Metal Bee is from Dollar Tree’s garden section during Spring. I looked for BEE decor at Dollar Tree in 2019 (when I wrote this original post) but they did not have any so when they added these metal Bee wind chimes and signs, I knew I was going to use them for these projects!

Welcome to Our Hive Farmhouse Sign

 

I made this Dollar Tree Bee sign using wood for the blank sign and then I added items to the front to create a #D farmhouse sign. You can use Dollar Tree foam board for the white sign and then stained 5-gallon paint sticks, cut to size for the frame. I used the same metal bees and flowers as the wreath above and the bee hive is made using cardboard!

$1 Bee Pillow Cover

What Cricut Accessories Do I Need?

 

Cricut Essentials make putting the pieces together a joy. From tweezers that handle delicate parts to Cricut EasyPress for foolproof iron-on, every Essential makes a great project even greater, every step of the way.

These are the Cricut Tools & Accessories I recommend for the serious crafter:

 

Cricut Easy Press

 

Cricut Supplies Beginners

 

 

I highly recommend purchasing the Cricut Easy Press if you plan to do any iron-on or heat transfer projects. The Cricut Easy Press will make your Cricut DIY’s so much easier!

 

The Cricut Easy Press comes in 3 different sizes, however, I own the 9 x 9 and it’s the perfect size for most projects.

If you purchase the Cricut Easy Press, don’t forget to get the coordinating Easy Press Mat, which will protect your surfaces and projects from burning. Alternatively, you can use a folded towel, however, the mat is sleek and easier to store in the craft room 😉

The lightweight, low-profile Cricut BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more.

I suggest having a variety of cutting mats that are customized to match the weight of commonly used crafting materials. With three different mats specifically designed to work with different weights of materials, you can ensure success in all your projects.

You will thank me later for telling you to just get the Cricut Tool Set instead of buying each tool individually! The tools included in the Cricut toolset are all helpful when using your Cricut machine.

My favorite non-Cricut brand materials

 

You can find other brand vinyl, iron-on, contact paper, and more outside of Cricut.com. A few of my favorites are:

  • Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl (find it here or at your local craft store)
  • Siser HTV
  • Dollar Tree clear contact paper (or shelf liner)
  • Various fat-quarter fabrics at Walmart
  • Felt sheets at local craft stores

 

 

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

✅ This is the Cricut Machine that I own and use it for everyday materials. I also have this machine but I only use it to cut fabric ????
