HOW TO MAKE A DOLLAR TREE WREATH

Select a Dollar Tree gift bag that has a cute character or a different picture on the front that will be the focal point of your wreath. It’s better if the bag is thicker or stiffer in the area that you will cut out the character.

Since Dollar Tree stock varies from store to store, you will need to make sure they have coordinating yarn colors for your gift bag cut-out. If need be, craft stores will have lots of colors to choose from although you’ll have to pay a little extra. My Dollar Tree didn’t have red yarn in stock, so I spent a bit more for it at Walmart.

The 10-inch size foam wreath form is the perfect size to work with as the smaller size makes wrapping it with yarn go quicker and it’s much easier to manage.

HOW TO WRAP A WREATH WITH YARN

STEP 1: WRAP THE WREATH WITH YARN

Determine how you want to split and space out your colors of yarn for the color blocking. Mark with a pencil where the start and stop points will be. Plan this according to how big or small your cut-out is and also the cut-out placement.

Attach the first yarn end with hot glue. Begin wrapping the yarn from that point by pulling the whole ball of yarn in an under and over fashion.

Hold the individual yarn wraps taut as you’re going under and over while also making sure that the wraps are close to one another and no wreath is showing.

Even after a color section is completely wrapped, it’s easy to push the yarn around to where it may need to be altered. Then you can glue the end down.

Continue the next color sections just like the first one. Glue the yarn end down and then begin wrapping the wreath with your next color.

STEP 2: ADD THE DIVIDER SECTIONS

I used about 12 individual wraps of white yarn to accent and divide the main color sections. Hot glue the yarn start and stop points as you did in the steps above.

Next place a strip of ribbon in the center of the accent yarn. Cut enough ribbon to join the ends together on the back side and then use hot glue.

STEP 3: MAKE A BOW

Attach a ribbon section at the top of the wreath and glue into place just as you did in the step above (minus the white yarn.)

Make a simple two loop bow and hot glue it down on top of the strip of ribbon.

STEP 4: ATTACH THE CUT-OUT

Use hot glue to attach the cut-out in your desired position.

If your cut-out is not sturdy enough on its own, you can glue onto the back a piece of card stock or poster board.

Now that you’re completely done with all the steps, you can weave a bit of florist wire behind the ribbon and bow area to form a small loop to hang your adorable wreath.

I hope you enjoy planning and making your own Dollar Tree yarn Christmas wreath!
