Dollar Tree Witch Tips
I am proud to say that I am a broke ass witch and I love Dollar Tree more than I love most things. I have made a post previously about items from Dollar Tree that you can use for witchy purposes but I wanted to add some more ideas. Link to the very first post right hereee. Hopefully you all will enjoy this post and find it useful.
1.) Reed Diffusers
I bought a sage and citrus reed diffuser that smelled so nice and I was so in love with it but eventually it was fresh out of juice– the container was completely empty. What I was left with was an empty, glass container, its lid, and the bamboo sticks. Don’t throw these items away so easily. You can use the bottle to hold moon water, rain water, sun water, or anything else (take off the sticker on the bottle, looks nicer). You could even turn it into a spell jar. The bamboo sticks could be turned into a pentagram craft or used as small wands, if you wanted. [Pictured is the actual sticks and a craft I made already with bigger sticks, to show a general idea of what you could do! Pretty sure they also have small wreaths to put around your small star! I hope to finish this craft myself soon.]
2.) Chalices, Corked Bottles, Cauldrons, & Sigil Burners
There are so many glass items at the Dollar Tree, from corked bottles to coffee mugs. From decorative plates to wine glasses. You could easily find your chalice here for your altar. Not only this, I found two round bowls– they looked similar to fish bowls. Using air dry clay, rhinestones, and acrylic paint I turned one bowl into a cauldron (non-safe for food or your stove!). I use it to hold spare items and have even burnt sigils in it. The other bowl I filled with black sand, that I also bought from there, and made it’s purpose to be a space to burn sigils specifically.
3.) Runes, Pendulums & Scrying Mirrors
Dollar Tree has fish aquarium stones that can easily be painted to be runes. If you’re feeling particularly sea witchy, they also sell sea shells that can be turned into runes. Sea shells, rocks, and others items similar could also be used to make a pendulum. They sell twine and small sewing kits with thread. If you want to make a pendulum board, they have canvases and paint for you to get artsy.
They also sell picture frames, paint brushes, and paint– all that you’ll need to create your very own scrying mirror. Pictured is a small one I made for travel but they have bigger picture frames.
4.) Crystals
Can’t afford crystals? That’s alright. I have found growing crystal sets in the toy aisles before. Use color magic to figure out properties of your crystals or see what sort of vibes you feel. Worth noting that you can always not use crystals or use other items; Intention is everything.
5.) Herbs, Spices, & Garden Growing
Can’t afford herbs? You’re preaching to the choir. I already touched on this a little with the last post. Dollar Tree has sea salt, Himalayan Pink Salt, cinnamon, basil, cayenne pepper, rosemary, and so on. It also happens to have tea to drink which is witchy in itself; You can also use the contents of those tea bags in your spell work. Some different types of tea I have found are green tea, peppermint tea, chamomile tea, black tea, and etc. You can also find gardening tools, soil, pots, and seeds to grow your own sage, lavender, basil, strawberries, oregano, and so on.
6.) Random Items Worth Mentioning
I saw a post a while back with this beautiful tray in bed, herbs and a small vase with flowers inside– witchcraft in bed. Oh, how I ached to be that witchy and aesthetically pleasing. Guess what I found at the Dollar Tree? A small metal tray. You could also put candles on top of it, use it on your altar, or for your kitchen witchery. Whatever feels right.
Did ya know there are oil blends there too? I’ve seen peppermint and tea tree oil with my own four eyes. They already have their carrier oils in there and you can use them as you see fit. They’re in the beauty and hygiene aisles, if your local store has them.
Outside of that, there are plenty of beauty items that have essential oils inside them. I recently found bath salts (lavender, rose, and chamomile) that have the essential oils and even some of the flowers/herbs inside their package. Read labels!
This one’s for all my broke ass death witches because I love you, how’s your day going? Halloween has lots of trinkets and funsies to make your altar really have that, “death” aspect covered. I have found these small coffin boxes that I have used for banishing bad habit spells. You could turn them into a small altar for on the go. Paint them if they have something you don’t like. Need a representation for a skull? Take a peek, you might be surprised.
Need spare cloth to make poppets, a tarot deck bag, a charm bag, an altar cloth, dream pillows, or etc? They have scarves, towels, pillow cases, bandannas, and sometimes even plain shirts.
