Dollar Store Farmhouse Truck Makeover

I'm sharing another Dollar Tree project today. I don't know about you but staying home is hard! A trip to the Dollar Tree is a welcome distraction and filling my cart with projects to make at home is not only satisfying, it is inexpensive!

My most recent trip to Dollar Tree was really just for ribbon but when I saw this wooden truck I grabbed it and ran! 

Recently I made over a Valentine's Day sign with a truck but this one was so much easier to makeover! 

I began here by staining the truck with a dark stain cloth, these are easy to use and work great. 

When the stain dried I painted the truck white. 

You can paint it in your favorite color, teal would be pretty too! 

Anyway, I painted the tires black, the hubcaps grey and I left the wooden fence on the back of the truck stained. 

All the edges were sanded with a fine grit sandpaper for a distressed look when the paint dried.

I added a hand written sign using a Sharpie marker, this set comes with 3 sizes. 

You could also use a stencil, transfer, or leave it with no writing at all.

A final step is a spray of clear satin sealer for protection. 

The truck is cute enough with nothing! 

I added a stacked bow using different lengths and widths of ribbon.

This $1 find used the tiniest amount of paint, stain and ribbon to transform it into this cute truck to hang as it is or on a boxwood wreath.
