Holiday Wreaths with Dollar Tree


Remember my Fall crafts candy corn wreath and Table Display post with Dollar Tree?  I am back, this time with Holiday, Christmas themed wreaths!  Isn't it amazing how many things you can cross off your holiday "to do" list...and for just $1.00 each?

I received an amazing box of goodies from Dollar Tree to be creative.  I decided to make two different wreaths to share just how versatile and unique you can make wreaths using Dollar Tree items.  I guess it is the year of wreath making for me!  The first wreath I made is a general Holiday wreath and the second wreath I made is a candy cane wreath.  All the supplies used can be found at Dollar Tree.

Reindeer Moss

First I hot glued Reindeer Moss as the bottom layer of my Holiday wreath.

This is what your wreath will look like afterwards.

Dollar Tree has some great burlap flowers that clip onto things.  I simply stuck the clips into the wreath.

I hot glued some decorative branches around the wreath.

And voila, my finished Holiday wreath!

I had so much fun last month making my candy corn wreath that I decided to do another candy wreath, this time with candy canes!  It is pretty simple really.  We just layered candy canes all around the wreath until we were happy with the outcome and then attached a bow.

 A was my candy cane helper.

Layer the candy canes around the wreath.  We broke the candy canes into smaller pieces for the bottom layers.

Keep adding candy canes as you go...

 We added a bow for the final touch!

Fall Crafts and Table Display with Dollar Tree


I don't know about you but Dollar Tree is a hot shopping spot for my family.  We visit Dollar Tree for just about every party we have, and we have lots of parties.  Our kids buy birthday presents for their siblings there because they find great items that fit their budget.  We always get Mylar balloons there, only $1!  Everything's $1.....So Everybody Leaves Happy.

Today, I want to show you my new Fall table.  Everything came from and can be found at Dollar Tree, which also means that it is super budget friendly.

The first thing I did was cut some cardboard letters.  I chose to spell out FALL.  Then I took the floral moss and applied it to the letters using my hot glue gun, easy peasy.

 Here I am halfway finished with the F.

 I started applying candy corn using my hot glue gun.

Next, I started my two sided wreath.  One side is layered candy corn and the other side is floral moss.  I like the idea of having a two sided wreath that can be displayed with the candy corn side or the moss side.

I went around and around with the candy corn.

Then, I started to layer it.

Now apply the moss to the back side.

Next, I cut off the stem of a pumpkin to make a vase.  I arranged the Fall flowers in the pumpkin vase and that was it.  This was super fast.

So pretty.  I think this would be a fun thing to take to a friend just to say hi or hope you are having a great day!

Lastly, I decided to make pumpkin lids for my drink dispensers.  I simply cut the pumpkins in half using a large knife (be careful).  I applied a thin layer of scotch tape along the bottom edge of the pumpkin so no Styrofoam would drop into my drinks.

 I set the pumpkin lids on my dispenser.

 And here is the dispenser with tea and lemonade.

So, what do you think?  Are you looking to make a Fall display?  Dollar Tree is your one stop shop for everything you need for a Fall party!
