The concept of "Surround the mascot" is a popular strategy used by sports teams and fans to create a supportive and engaging environment during games or events. The mascot, often a symbol or representation of the team or organization, is placed at the center of attention, both physically and emotionally, as fans gather around to cheer, chant, and support their team. This strategy not only fosters team spirit and unity but also creates an energetic atmosphere that can be contagious and motivating for both players and spectators. By surrounding the mascot, fans effectively create a wall of support and enthusiasm, creating an immersive experience that enhances the overall enjoyment of the game or event. This concept is often seen in various sports, from football and basketball to soccer and hockey, as well as in other forms of entertainment such as concerts or rallies. The main idea behind "Surround the mascot" is to embrace and celebrate the team's identity and to rally around their representative symbol.
If the Dollar Tree is not on your list of shopping for seasonal decor, then you are missing out my friend. They have a great selection of Halloween signs out this year and the possibilities of what to do with them are endless. I recently shared a blog post showing all of the goodies that my store had out. You can take a look here to see what I am talking about. The wood cut out selection has really increased this year and let me tell you, they really have some cool ones out. I came across this Dollar Tree Witch Sign and decided to grab it and see what I could do with it.
I love budget crafting and I LOVE home decorating, so I ve paired the two together to make my own high-end, adorable, and affordable home decor that I actually use in my own home.

Dollar Tree terracotta pot makeover
Call me crazy, but I don't LOVE the way a terracotta pot looks in its original state. The clayish/orange color doesn't tend to go with my decor. BUT, I still buy them- because I know I can give them a MAKEOVER!
There are literally so many ways you can revamp a terracotta pot. but today, I'm sticking with the good ole' fashioned PAINT!
Materials
- Terracotta pot (mine came from Dollar Tree)
- Paint colors of your choice (I chose black & white from Apple Barrel)
- Burlap ribbon
- Hot glue
Instructions
- If you've seen my Spring Front Porch, then you know that I love decorating with black and white stripes. which is why I decided to paint this bad boy to match! First, just paint your pot white. Like I mentioned above, I just used the color "white" by Apple Barrel paints! It ended up needing two coats to be completely covered.
- Next step. you guessed it. paint on your stripes! I know this can be scary for some people, but hear me out- if you mess up, you can touch it up after it dries! NO biggie!!
- Here is how mine is looking so far! As you can see, the stripes are NOT perfect- which is totally fine!
- After it dried, I went back in and touched up some spots that needed it. which is why you don't need to be TOO caught up in being perfect!
- To finish it off, I decided to hot glue some burlap ribbon around the brim of the pot. and this COMPLETELY set it off. This ribbon is from Hobby Lobby!
- Lastly, I added this smaller ribbon from Dollar Tree right in the center of the other burlap ribbon. I am IN LOVE with how it turned out, y'all. So, what do YOU think?? Will you be trying this one out? I sure hope so!

I painted the little half wood bead with yellow paint to be my gnome’s nose. Now, all you have to do, is glue the pieces onto the painted canvas to build your gnome!

- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with Surround the mascot. The gameplay was incredibly repetitive and there were no real challenges or obstacles to overcome. It felt like a mindless task of just going around in circles, without any true purpose. The graphics were also lackluster and unimpressive. Overall, I found the whole experience to be quite boring and a waste of time.
- Mark - 3 stars - Surround the mascot was okay, but it didn't really live up to the hype for me. The concept of the game seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. The controls were clunky and unresponsive at times, making it frustrating to play. Additionally, the levels felt too similar, lacking variety and creativity. I did appreciate the effort put into the visuals, but ultimately, the game didn't grip me and I wouldn't really recommend it.
