Selfie Stick From The Dollar Tree


Like many others, I LOVE the Dollar Tree! I usually end up going 2-3 times a week. I had heard that selfie sticks had been spotted at different Dollar Tree's, so I had been keeping my eyes open for them. I found mine in the automotive section, just sort of a box of selfie sticks tossed on top of some other items. I don't take a lot of selfies, but I wanted to see what they were all about.


It expands out pretty good. the top metel part bends so you can twist it in different angles. The black part at the top stretches to fit different sized phones. You might also be able to use a small camera with this. It's very light weight. Now with this one, you will need a timer on your phones because it does not have blue tooth accessibility to it.



It's not the best photo, but this is how it looks when using it. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ring. It can hold a bigger phone. The bendy part can be a little flimsy, but once it's turned a certain way, it works fine I think. I not sure how much I will be using it, but for a $1, I couldn't pass it up.

Cheap Way To Change Up A Room

Recently, my aunt wanted to change up the wall decor in her living room & give it a little color. We looked over a lot of different photos & wall decor at many different stores, she just couldn't find anything she liked. One day, whiles at Michaels Craft Store, she found a pack of brightly colored foam sheets on sale. She had photos on the wall, but they were starting to fade & she was just going to use the part where you put the photos behind to break up the frame & have circles & squares of colored foam.

A few days after that, I was at the Dollar Tree & I found some wall stickers that were silver colored & looked nice, not overly tacky. She loved them! They were very simple designs & went great with all of the colors. After putting our heads together for a few minutes, this is what we came up with.


It was hard to get a good photo of this. Most of the photos I got had a reflection of some type from either the flash, the light in the room or the skylight. I finally got a shot from this angle that didn't have any glares. My favorite is the yellow followed by the orange one. All together, it might have taken 20 minutes & most of that time was spend getting the backs on & off the back of the frames lol. She is VERY happy with how they turned out & how cheap it was!
