How cute is this little Dollar General watermelon truck? I found the little truck in Dollar General for two dollars. I had to give it a simple change to fit the watermelon themed tiered tray.

Dollar General Watermelon Truck Makeover
Here is the little truck and the supplies I am using to create my little watermelon truck.
I pulled out 3 shelled walnuts to use, but decided to use three pieces of potpourri instead.
To resemble watermelons, I painted the pieces green with a lime green stripe. Using Apple Barrel craft paint in forest green and lime tree.
Removed the succulent from the bed of the truck in order to hold the watermelons.
The blue truck is adorable just as is, however I painted my truck in a watermelon color. I mixed up Apple Barrel paint, Cardinal Red and Bright Magnet. Painted the truck and created all the details on the truck as was before.
Taking the little watermelons gluing them to the back of the truck.
It turned out adorable and is the right size for a tiered tray. Depending on your tray’s decorations you can modify it for any color or theme.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂

Teresa
Teresa these little trucks in Dollar General are so adorable. I love how easy it is to change them fit your style. Thank you!
These are cute and really made me chuckle when I realized you did the watermelons with botanical pods!
This craft will also be great for your summer tier tray.
Rachelle, they did work for a miniature watermelon. ha! I think the little truck will be used a lot through the year with only changing out the bed’s decor. Thank you!
Adorable and perfect idea to use walnuts for watermelons.
Cindy
Thanks Cindy. The walnuts were a little too large for the back of the little truck so I used potpourri pods. They turned out just as cute.
Terrie, I love how you painted the truck, and those little walnut watermelons are brilliant! I have been scoring some great finds at Dollar General lately, too! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Dollar General has really cute items in their store. I love walking down the aisle there. Happy crafting Cecilia.
Your creativity always amazes me Terrie! I didn’t know my grandfather but there’s one black and white photo that sticks in my memory of his fruit stand and delivery truck; so reminiscent of your adorable project. Those watermelons are the best touch :).
Thanks Sara, I love how those pods resembles watermelons. Makes a cute little decor piece with the truck.
