Dollar Tree Holidays: Spiced Peaches, Dyed Popcorn & Barbie Angel Tree Topper

These Quick Spiced Peaches from Canned Peaches make a very nice holiday side dish, and come together in no time. Although you will need to plan a few days for marinating in the fridge. This is a wink and nod to the canned peaches Grandmoms used to put-up back in the day:@)

If you've ever seen Dyed Popcorn Gifts in retail, you know they can be expensive, but honestly, they are easy to make. DT has popcorn, the little bottles of food coloring, ~and~ cute jars for gifting. The key to this craft is allowing plenty of drying time after adding the food coloring. Wa-la, a perfect seasonal treat:@)

And I'll leave you with... I'd been looking at the angel wing ornaments with this Barbie Angel Tree Topper in mind. I picked up the wings and (sometimes) they even have the long dresses, that made this project way too easy! I happened to use my Dollar Tree doll too, but any Barbie type doll would look great.

If your girl already has a wedding gown, that would be pretty. The only other craft item you need is one tinsel pipe cleaner. Half for the halo and half to be used as a choker necklace to hold the wings on.
  1. I made a circle from the pipe cleaner and bent the end down to stick into her hairband for the halo.
  2. The wings have a hole so they can be hung from the tree. Wrap the pipe cleaner around the doll's neck (like a choker necklace), and push both ends through the hole in the ornament. Twist the sides of the pipe cleaner together to hold the wings up.
  3. That's it folks, you can just nestle the doll on top of the tree, or secure her by wrapping another pipe cleaner around her legs and the top of the tree.
  4. Perfect for a girl's room, or I'm predicting there might just be one or two Barbie trees this year:@)

The items I started with:

You might be surprised by what you can find at the humble dollar store to help make the holidays more fun!

🦃🎅Happy Holiday Planning, and
Have a Great Weekend:@)
