Dollar Store Faux Floral Arrangements

Dollar Store Artificial Peonies Arrangement // Floral Arrangements Cheap // Rae of Sparkles

You know you’re cheap when you refuse to buy the artificial floral arrangements at Target because they’re too pricey. I could tell you a million things that are much more worth the $24.99. Starting with just about everything. Clearly, floral arrangements aren’t my thing. But when they only cost $3 and look adorable? Well then you just might talk me into it.

I was cruising the aisle of the Pier One store (okay so it was the Dollar Tree), when I saw these peonies in their floral section. I mean, they’re pretty up there on the list of things I’d buy from the Dollar Tree. Which is just about everything. When you have to grab a basket on your way into the DT, you know you are buying too much crap. I may or may not get a basket every time. I also may or may not go to the DT every week.

Ingredients for Dollar Store Floral ArrangementsI picked out four stems and two circular vases. When I got home, I added corks to the bottom of the vase for a more vintage-y look. Who am I kidding. I added them because I’ve drank one too many bottles of wine and don’t know what else to do with them.

  3. These are super cute! Love the corks in the bottom too, definitely rivals Target’s expensive arrangements.

    • Thanks!!! I think they’re definitely competitive with Target’s pieces. Maybe not Pier One’s though…. 😉

  4. was just at TJMaxx and they had very similar arrangements for alot more. Great look!

    • Who wants to spend $20+ on flowers when they can spend $3?!?! Not I! I learned from my mother all about saving a buck. 😉

  5. This looks fantastic. I am going to have to give this a try!!! Thank you for sharing this.

    • Thanks!! I’d love to see how yours turn out! They’re super easy (and most importantly, inexpensive!!). 🙂

    • Thank you so much!! These types of DIY projects are my favorites! 🙂

    • Oh my gosh DT is my favorite place. I’ll go broke there. 😉

    • Dollar Tree had the peonies! Do you have any around?!

  12. This is soooo cute!! I am totally trying it this weekend! Although I don’t have this many corks, I will have to find a substitute 😉

    • Thank you!!! You can find so many other options at the dollar store! You could do those little glass beads! 🙂

    • Thank you!!! I agree, such a bargain! I couldn’t believe I found them at the dollar store! 🙂
