Confession time....I find myself stopping there almost as much as Tuesday Morning. Cute tapes, sequins and stickers. Who else shops there and what do you find that's really good or really bad?

Ha... I stopped shopping there because I was getting too many other dollar stuff, and it was adding up! Those darn enabling youtube dollar store shoppers!
ETA: I will say the washi tape is not very tacky. (adhesive-wise)

You are so lucky. Our dollar tree does not have any scrappy/ craft items.

I went through phase and thoroughly stocked up from three different dollar trees! It's addicting finding deals. I agree about the washi, I staple it down.

Ha... I stopped shopping there because I was getting too many other dollar stuff, and it was adding up! Those darn enabling youtube dollar store shoppers! ETA: I will say the washi tape is not very tacky. (adhesive-wise)That makes it less useful as washi tape, but it's good for temporarily holding stuff down or, as I used it at my last crop, for holding down panels while you watercolor. I like their sequins--that's really the most "awesome" of the crafty things I've found there in a while. If I hadn't just purged all my glitter, they had some nice glitter, too. I also picked up some baker's twine there. Around Valentine's day, and now in the Halloween display, they had some packages that have eight little flair pins in them. I think you'd have to adhere with dimensional adhesives but if you like flair, take a look for them. Less scrappy: tissue paper, gift wrap, ribbon. They are the only place I can find the Reynolds pre-cut aluminum foil sheets. Also, aluminum baking trays/tupperware/serving dishes for when I go to potlucks. Way easier than having to worry about getting my pyrex home in one piece. What I REALLY like is that around Christmas they have those sturdy paperboard boxes like you might buy at a higher end store for $3-8 bucks or something. My sister likes getting presents in them. I did recently get up the nerve to try some of their mini cream puffs. Or maybe it was eclairs. Anyhow, stick with the ones from Sam's.

I love the Dollar Tree.
I get all my sequins there.
And fun shaped confetti.
They have puffy image stickers.
And puffy round stickers that look like enamel dots, but flatter (still some dimension).
I use the Dollar Tree to buy many character stickers, like Paw Patrol or TMNT or whatever my kids might be into/watching at that moment, without spending a ton on it.

Every trip to Dollar Tree has me looking in the craft aisle.
I check the holiday stuff for flair. The ones at Valentine's Day were really cute.

I don't use washi tape other than holding my dies down on my paper. It works great. I don't useWashi tape as it was intended for. It wasn't my thing. I'll get another roll when I run out. I also put some on my iPhone cord when I was visiting my family as everyone had the same type of cord. Someone was always taking mine when they were leaving. I knew which one was mine.

First, I'm not sure why it's rotating my pic! But, I found these cute dividers at Dollar tree today. If you enlarge it you will see different patterns, they also have solids.

What aisle is all the scrappy stuff in? I've never seen it, and I looked in the office supplies aisle

What aisle is all the scrappy stuff in? Depends on your store. I find it in with the toys/kids crafts, with office supplies, with books, with the teacher section. And you can never tell what sticker packs are really there without digging. The first pack you see on a rack is not representative of all that are there. They are not organized perfectly.

I will occasionally get sequins, glitter paper (it's nice, the glitter doesn't come off), glue dots, shaped paper clips, baker's twine, fun foam sheets. I sometimes use the foam sheets instead of the little foam stickers to give a larger item dimension. Just cut the foam to the shape of the item and glue it on.
The glitter paper is sometimes by the poster board or near the office supplies. It is 81/2 by 11.

Hmmmm, is it bad that Dollar Tree is right by my daughter's math tutor. Will have to stop in and check for glitter paper. I also purchased some 4x6 container boxes to store my sequins in.

I finally found sequins and shaped paper clips at mine. I was sure that all the Peas were buying them up ahead of me because they always seemed to be out.
