Dollar tree DIY - Make your own Home Goods style decor

What do you get when you cross budget with home decor? Doctored Dollar Tree finds!
Here's the latest I came up with. Do-it-yourself #DIY potted fake grass.
So here's what you need to do.  Find a cute container.  I found this one at a thrift store for $2.  From the dollar tree you need one packet of dry floral foam and 4 onion grass sprigs.
 

$2







$4 total







$1





Remove the bunches of grass blades from the main stock and set aside.
 




 Next cut the foam to fit your container.  Now you don't need to be an expert.  I just used trial and error until I could wedge it in.  It is better a little wider so the foam stays put once the grass is placed in the foam.





Start placing the bunches of grass in the fitted foam about 1/4-1/3 inch apart.  As you have extras you can fill in the gaps.
Here is what it starts looking like from the side



Continue with all the grass to get this beauty!

For a total of $7 and about 15 minutes of time, you get your own faux grass plant.
