  • Hi everyone and welcome to my channel, today I'll show you a Dollar tree makeover! I've already used these doll houses to make Diagon Alley shops, and this year I've decided to make Christmas shops! I used real Paris shops sign photos for them, to they look exactly like Old World vintage shops)
    Signs and backdrops templates:
    drive.google.com/file/d/1LaQV...
    drive.google.com/file/d/12Sha...
    I"m not sure US Dollar trees have these exact houses, but I've found them on Aliexpress, here is the link:
    a.aliexpress.com/_AeqGff
    a.aliexpress.com/_AcLXRx
    And some more links for the stuff that may be useful for this makeover:
    aerosol primer:
    amzn.to/3blbCZL
    You can also use a 2 in 1 paint which is selfpriming, like this one (this listing is for 6 cans, so this is just to give you idea of what I mean, I'm sure they are sold offline in stores):
    amzn.to/3pLSufV
    or this one:
    amzn.to/30XpIyr
    bottlebrush trees: amzn.to/3VpWhwK
    pipe cleaners: amzn.to/3CJxn3C
    seed beads: amzn.to/3Co8IjE
    amzn.to/3Etjwje
    amzn.to/3Cl3Lsb
    white glitter amzn.to/3yrPWa9
    Fairy lights: amzn.to/3vEPmmF

So thanks for making this vid for ideas to make customized village houses on a budget.
