The Dollar Tree has a plastic heart bowl that I want to change up and turn into a fun light up heart decoration.
The supplies that I’ll be using are:
1. One plastic heart bowl from the Dollar Tree
2. Hot glue
3. X-acto knife
4. One clip light
5. One Dollar Tree plastic tray
6. Ceramic Christmas tree replacement bulbs from Amazon
7. Wood burning tool
8. Red spray paint ( optional)
I decided to give my heart bowl one coat of a red spray paint but this is an optional step. When the spray paint dried it helped take away some of the shine of the plastic.
I traced the bowl onto the Dollar Tree tray and then cut it out.
I used the wood burning tool to create holes into the heart bowl.
You need to make holes to add the lights to the bowl.
Once I had the holes made and the lights added I then added some hot glue to the inside.
I put hot glue around the stem of each light you help secure them all in place.
Once I had the lights all secured in place I then added hot glue along the edge of the bowl.
I placed the heart bowl on top of the heart cut out.
I decided to add hot glue around the outside edge and add a silver tinsel.
I used the x-acto knife to cut a small hole in the back center and added a clip light.

This was very easy to make and looks amazing lit up at night. I hope you’ll get creative and give this fun makeover a try.
