I'm loving this assortment of flipped dollar store Christmas DIY decor. I'm making inexpensive plastic items for a dollar look like money! Check out how I created some faux mercury metallic look decor mixed with some faux stone Christmas ornaments. I really appreciate how a little spray paint changes the complete look of each of these decor pieces. See how I made the transformations below!
