Dollar Store Parts in Projects

This blog is to add to theheckwithkaren blog about using Dollar Store parts in projects.

I scour the Dollar Store for parts on many projects and I have use parts from the Dollar Store countless times.

Here are a few examples:

The Acrylic dome on my Konker Connection is part of a butter dish from the Dollar Store (The other part will likely be used to cover a solar panel on a different project):

The turn table in this Star Trek Alcove video is from a Dollar Store:

 

This tablet stand for my Star Trek Alcove uses a plastic hockey stick from a Dollar Store. That power bar was also a Dollar Store item.

The list of Dollar Store parts gets to be very long ......
