What can YOU make from Dollar Tree Arrows?
Want to guess what we made from Dollar Tree arrows? Before I retired, I was a Realtor. So naturally I see possible HOUSES in these little arrows.
Getting Started with “What Can You Make From Dollar Tree Arrows?”
Below is a picture after we took the twine hanger off. I bought four of these to do something with, however, I just wasn’t sure how to arrange them to look like a village.
Coming Up with a Farmhouse Design and Color Scheme
I placed them how I wanted to glue them together and my Mom sawed the bottoms to all be level. Each one needed to be a different color so we chose a neutral pallet. I did not want this to be ONLY holiday decor. Most importantly, I wanted a more everyday Farmhouse Style.
I knew I wanted shades of gray and shades of tan. Meanwhile, this project sat around and wasn’t worked on as we created Christmas Decor. So it took me awhile to come up with something cute. A background had to be selected. I searched my stash and found the perfect size canvas to use. You can paint it if you wish but I did not. I attached the arrows with a little hot glue and a little E6000. Do not mix them together but use in different corners or sections. And thin them out so there are no globs. The hot glue is instant and the E6000 is more long term permanent.
Adding Chalk Couture “Home Sweet Home”
I am no longer an Independent Chalk Couture Designer. I have a House Pattern Transfer. So I used it for the “Home Sweet Home” and the little windows and hearts. I used a wooden “Family” from Hobby Lobby since it fit so perfectly.
Adding a Bow
Below is a picture of the crossover bow I made from gray and tan and brown ribbons.
In Conclusion, What Can You Make From Dollar Tree Arrows?
The neutral colors match my home decor and hopefully many others’ decor too. I may try to sell it or I may keep it. It is really ALL ABOUT FAMILY and keeping them close to your heart.

How did you attach the arrows to the canvas? I’m guessing glue but which glue did you use? I love your projects!
Hi Jane! I used a little hot glue and a little E6000. I don’t mix them together but use in different corners or sections. And thin them out so there are no globs. THANKS for letting me know I forgot to mention that! I’ll go back and add it to my blog post.
Are the arrows all the same size, but 3 of them cut on the end a little shorter as the other ones?
Hi Doris! Yes they are all the same size and Mom used a Jigsaw to cut to the different lengths. Thank you so much for reading and asking!!
Have you made a church with the arrows?
Hi Sheila! No I haven’t but that is an excellent idea!
