The DIY Struggle

05/29/2026

When I was a kid! I remember using nail polish to paint on all the ones we would find at the beach! It was one of my favorite things to do after we got back from the beach! I would pick the most shiny polishes to put on there! Paint them multiple colors!! Absolutely had fun for hours! I love that as an adult I can still craft with these and made the diy a little more home decor and high end to match any home!

For everyone in the comments on this video being nasty about the color of the frogs let me educate you on your ignorance...

* FROGS ARE NOT ONLY GREEN*

There are over 7,000 known species of frogs worldwide, and they come in an enormous range of colors and patterns. Because colors can vary within the same species, there is no exact number of frog colors.

BE SURE TO CHECK these comments where I post a picture of a black frog and a white frog.

I truly wish if people chose to comment in my comments and correct me they ACTUALLY WERE CORRECT!! I might * PLAY * THE GOOFY CRAFTER ROLL. BUT, I assure you I am not as dumb as some of you think I am with the responses you have coming at me in these comments. I AM FUNNY NOT A DUMMY... There is a difference...

Truly about done addressing it...

Sometimes after a stressful day, there is nothing better than a little tappity tap tapping pouncing paint onto… honestly anything. 😂

The repetitive motions, creative details somehow calm my nervous system almost instantly. Crafting ASMR just hits different after a long day.

And, tapping is actually known to help some people feel calmer and more grounded because repetitive sounds and motions can help the brain focus and slow down overstimulation.

So if you catch me aggressively pouncing paint at midnight… mind your business. I’m self soothing. 😂

I hate doing inventory for my business!! It is almost as bad as having to do my taxes! The feeling of dread absolutely fills my soul. But, luckily as I count this amazing soft smooth noise magically takes all my stress away because the repetitive counting and sound of paper can actually help regulate the nervous system. The pretty designs on the papers also help warm my heart with joy knowing I had a hand in creating each and every one!

The steady repetition gives my brain something predictable to focus on, which can calm racing thoughts and lower stress responses. The soft sounds of paper shuffling, stacking, and organizing can also create a soothing sensory effect similar to ASMR for some people. Repetitive tasks like counting, sorting, folding, or organizing often help signal to the brain that you are safe and in control, which may help reduce feelings of overwhelm and anxiety.

Honestly… I still hate inventory though. 😂

I Definitely wish I had drilled holes in the wood and used brackets to attach these better! I am known for rolling with what I got..lol But, atleast in this version of this dollar tree diy project you can take the inspiration for it and create it with what you feel works best!!

One of my favorite pallet projects I ever made that has an actual practical use for things and you can not tell it is from dollar tree!!

I really love the wall paper at dollar tree! I just also like decoupage! So, when it comes to choosing wallpaper or decoupage I usually choose decoupage even though wall paper is easier!! Otherwise I would probably have so many more ideas for these!
