Dollar Tree Decorative Box Makeover

by blewis | Mar 5, 2025 | Holiday | 30 comments

I was in the Dollar Tree and I came across a cute wooden decorative box. This box is very cute as is but I want to give it a quick and very easy makeover.
My Dollar Tree is a Dollar Tree Plus so this box is $5.00.
1. One decorative box from the Dollar Tree
2. One glass candle holder from the Dollar Tree
3. E6000 glue or Gorilla glue
4. Hot glue
5. Antique Gold Rub’n Buff
The first step is to add the Antique Gold Rub’n Buff to the candle holder.
You can also add some of the Rub’n Buff to the decorative box.
The next step is to add the glue to the candle holder. You can add a touch of hot glue to help hold it in place.
I placed a puck light inside the box.
This turned out to be such a cute light up decoration. This will look great any where in your home. I hope you’ll get creative and give this a try.

    That is so cute! How did you get the green to show through or is that the result from the puck light?
