Love a clever Dollar Tree tip?

You’ve gotta check out this fun photo display I just made using a hula hoop and supplies from Dollar Tree! Show off photos at a wedding, party, graduation, shower – and even use this idea as fun wall decor in a teen room. I plan to put this in my daughter’s newly decorated room, so she can display her own pictures!

Grab these Dollar Tree supplies first!

You may already have a hula hoop to re-purpose at home, but if not, Dollar Tree has these small, child-sized hula hoops like the one pictured. There are quite a few varieties of faux flowers, succulents, and greenery available there as well, or if you prefer to use some other varieties from the craft store, that’d work, too.

Go for gold!

I love the gold metallic trend in crafts and decor that’s popular right now – it’s so fun! You’ll need some spray paint, and I used this Rustoleum Metal Finish in gold, which turned out pretty. I’m using baker’s twine to hang photos, but if you prefer, another string or fishing line could be good instead.

Finally, the mini clothespins are for holding your personal photos. So cute!

Heat up that trusty glue gun!

After spraying the hula hoop gold and letting it dry, start pulling apart and deconstructing the faux flowers and greenery. This is the key to making them look like an arrangement. You can onlinee up with any style or pattern, as there’s no right or wrong here. You’ll notice I created one longer arrangement and one shorter on the diagonal, mixing individual flowers, leaves, and succulents.

Make sure to use plenty of hot glue to secure the flowers and extra-heavy succulents so they’ll stay put.

What a fun and versatile photo project!

This will look great in her room, and I love how it turned out. You could pick up a variety of hula hoop sizes and really create a fun focal point for any room or party decor. For a wedding, you could display photos of the couple at the reception. You can even skip the photos all together and just create a fun spring wreath idea!

    Oh my, just what I needed to see. Hosting a surprise 30th birthday party so I’m going to use this idea to display photos in the number 30. This is definitely going to be my 0! You wouldn’t happen to know a way to make a 3 would you? LOL

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh fun- maybe if you cut and glue two small hoops into a 3 shape, and do a larger one as a 0?

    I bought some tiny clothes pins at Target in their dollar bin. They were the cutest black with gold polka dots and zebra striped. This is a very clever idea for a desk as well !! Thanks for the ideas
