DIY A Wagon Wheel Wreath For Fall With Dollar Tree Supplies

Decorating for fall is a wonderful way to get ready for the chilly weather, spiced beverages, and pumpkin patch visits that are fast approaching. But filling your house with autumnal decorations isn't always cheap, and it can be hard to find ones that are the right fit for your home. Luckily, Dollar Tree has a range of supplies that make it easy to craft your own bespoke fall decor for much less than buying premade options. 

One popular idea is to create an eye-catching wagon wheel wreath. To try out this clever craft for yourself, a good option is to use a 14-inch Bicycle Wheel Wreath Ring from Dollar Tree. Note that the website lists this item as currently unavailable; however, it is worth checking your local store to see if they have it in stock. Alternatively, you could use a Dollar Tree Round Metal Wreath and some Dollar Tree Crafters Square Wood Dowels to craft the base for the same effect. In addition, you will need wooden popsicle sticks or dowels, twine or a woven placemat, and a wooden circle for the center. You'll also need a hot glue gun to fix all the pieces in place, as well as a variety of fall-themed decorations. 

This adorable Dollar Tree DIY to get your home ready for fall is perfect for decorating your front door, mantelpiece, or windows to make them feel festive, welcoming, and seasonal. Just keep in mind that if you'd like to put the wreath outdoors, it is best to use waterproof decorations and secure each piece firmly in place. So, how can you make this sweet wagon wheel wreath for your home this fall?

To begin this DIY, make sure to lay your materials out in a place that you don't mind getting paint or glue on, such as a craft table or on top of an old sheet. Then, wrap your frame in a material such as the Dollar Tree Crafters Square Natural Jute Cord to give it a rustic look. Alternatively, you could use this as an opportunity to repurpose twine around the house and wrap the outside of the wheel in that to help keep the cost of this DIY even lower.

After you've attached the cord or twine to the outside, you'll then need to hot glue the popsicle sticks to each spoke of the wheel, making sure they don't overlap, as this may cause them to look uneven or come unstuck. Always remember to take care when using hot glue and never leave it unattended, particularly if you are doing this craft with children. You can then attach a small wooden circle to the middle of the piece to represent the wheel's axle. To really sell the look, you can even use some Dollar Tree Pearl Stickers to represent nail heads and give it that true, authentic feel. Then, it is time to decorate! Keep in mind that the wheelbase may be fragile, so it is a good idea to opt for lightweight decor such as Dollar Tree Styrofoam Pumpkins, autumn leaves, stickers, and flowers. You can also reinforce any areas that feel flimsy with extra hot glue or twine.
