DIY A Stunning Home Accent Piece For Any Season Using A Dollar Tree Crafting Essential

Do you ever get tired of switching out your home decor with the seasons? Between the physical effort and storage space required for these changeovers, it can feel like quite the chore. Each time you go to change your decorations, you usually end up deep cleaning your home and re-organizing your storage closet as well. In that sense, your seasonal decor can actually lead to a cleaner, clutter free home. Despite that, the appeal of having season-specific decor items is hard to resist. Luckily you can create a beautiful home accent piece that works in any season with a simple wire wreath and Crafter's Square Natural Jute Cord, a crafting essential from Dollar Tree. With these affordable materials, you'll be able to craft a base that can hold faux flowers, dried branches, and a range of other items. 

This DIY is suitable for any skill level as it just involves tying and wrapping rope. There is no need for specialty tools and the wreath can be easily customized to meet your personal style. You can use this simple base to make an inexpensive holiday wreath for your door with natural materials like pine branches and holly berry stems. Or, add in some colorful flowers for a fun summer touch. There are so many possibilities.

For this DIY, you'll need a wire wreath, like this LECZIVOEN Metal Floral Hoop Wreath, or you might find something similar at your local dollar store. But, if you're really looking to save money or use up materials you already have, you can make the ring out of cardboard, using a bit of hot glue to make it sturdier. Begin by tying your rope to the metal wreath, leaving a pretty good tail at the end. Next, wrap the rope around the middle of your wreath several times in a slightly diagonal pattern. To do this, each time you wrap, place the piece of rope in your hand below the bulk of the rope on the right side of the wreath and above the bulk on the left side.

Once the sides of your wreath have about 3 to 4 inches of rope on them, cut your rope and tie it to the tail you left earlier. Now all that's left to do is add in some flowers or decor of your choice. To do this, simply slide each piece into the middle of your wreath where the rope overlaps. To create visual interest, slide some smaller flowers in toward the front and taller decorative florals toward the back. When the season changes, you can leave your wreath hanging and simply swap out the florals for more suitable decor. For example this NNXHWY Halloween Floral Stems Set would be perfect for the spooky season. Alternatively you can DIY an adorable wreath every garden enthusiast will love by adding packets of seeds, and some fresh flowers and decorative stems featuring eggs or bunnies for spring.
