Dollar Tree $5 Spot Craft Items Review (Dollar Tree Plus)

 Hey Y'all!

Today I'm reviewing two of the Dollar Tree $5 craft items: 

Mini Electric Iron- I have no "craft in progress" pics for this because it didn't work. To clarify it did get warm, but definitely not hot enough to adhere HTV to any surface. I tried both cloth, and wood. It was a big no go. It didn't even work well for ironing the wrinkle out of the fabric during preheat. It may work for something like perler beads, but I'd just buy a regular iron for that. Doesn't even come close to comparing to the Cricut Easy Press Mini. Would NOT recommend! They can't all be winners.

*Couldn't find a link, but the website is not exactly user friendly.

Ultra Thin Portable Light Pad- It's definitely thin, but not too flimsy. I wouldn't do anything hardcore with it, but it worked well for weeding vinyl. I could see using it to trace, or for small diamond art. It's USB powered which was fine for me, but may be an issue for someone else. It's not too bright, and at 13x9in, a pretty good size. No complaints for $5. I do have another light pad (not Cricut) and several lamps, and I've come to realize I much prefer the Ottlite Desk Lamp.

Have you tried the Dollar Tree craft items? What do you recommend? Share in the comments below!

Have a great day,
