Spring Is Almost Here! This Dollar Tree DIY Wreath Will Help Get You In The Spirit

Spring can bring you 80-degree days worthy of a beach getaway, or you might be huddled under a blanket while snowflakes hit your windows. Treat yourself to a touch of springtime cheer with an easy wreath project using Dollar Tree materials. With pastel flowers, a few seasonal decorations, and an oversized bow, this wreath is as inexpensive as it is cute. Just the right amount of spring green keeps this adorable DIY spring home decor from being cloying.

At the Tree, fill your green basket with a wreath frame and a pack of pipe cleaners for the base. Toss in bunches of faux daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, bright greenery, and a roll or two of wire-edged ribbon in complementary colors and patterns. Or, gather up an armful of flowers and accessories all in the same hue, like rosy tulips, petunias, Easter lilies, and tweedias to turn simple filler flowers into your new favorite spring wreath. Don't forget a few trimmings like the butterflies in these Floral Garden Artificial Flower Bushes or an egg- or carrot-themed garland to coil among the blooms.

To welcome the warm weather with this spring door decor, unload your floral haul, and grab a pair of scissors, a glue gun, and wire cutters. Outfit your wreath frame with plenty of twisted pipe cleaners to hold the flowers and adornments. Twist the pipe cleaners around the wreath's wires at their halfway points so you'll have two wire ends to secure around the flower stems. It's better to attach more pipe cleaners than you think you'll need, since it's easier to take off extras than to add more once you begin affixing the decorations.

Distribute the flowers' color variety around the wreath evenly for a natural look, and tuck in just enough greenery to tame the decor of too much pastel. Use the wire cutters to snip off excess stem material. If you included a garland in your Dollar Tree shopping spree, experiment with wrapping it around the wreath and tucking the sections among the flowers. A few dots of hot glue will hold your arrangements in place. Alternatively, snip the garland and glue the decorative elements at well-spaced points among the flowers.

The final touch is a flouncy bow, either placed at the top, center, side, or bottom of the wreath. Top-mounted bows look especially nice as an anchor for a wreath hanger made from matching ribbon; loop a generous strip of ribbon around the top of the wreath to slide over a hook, and tie up a separate decorative bow to top the lower edge of the hanger ribbon. Lastly, display your wreath on a door, interior wall, or over a window.
