DIY Dollar store Christmas Wreath

This DIY dollar store Christmas wreath is easy to make and only cost me $7.

Here's what you need from Dollar Tree:

1. Wreath ring

2. Red polka dot burlap ribbon (2)

3. Bag of acrylic gems

4. 3 different sprigs of Christmas faux flowers and berries. One of my sprigs had pine cones, cotton, pine needles, and berries on it. One was only poinsettias and one was only red berries.

Not from Dollar Tree:

Glue gun 

Here's what the Dollar Tree items look like:

Step 1: Unravel the ribbon and go ahead and put glue on the back of the wreath ring, on one of the vertical wires.

Attach the end of the ribbon to the back and then fold it over to the front. Let the glue dry completely dry.

Step 2: Wrap the ribbon around the wreath ring, overlapping the sections until you reach the end of the ribbon. One roll of ribbon should cover half the wreath ring.

Glue the end of the ribbon right onto the ribbon. 

The first half should look like this :

Step 3: Unravel the next roll of ribbon. Glue and attach the end of ribbon to the back, where you left off for the first ribbon and continue to wrap the ribbon until it's finished. No end pieces should be showing. Again, let it dry completely. It should look like this:

Step 4: Take the faux flowers and berries and pull them off the plastic stems. Pull the leaves off too. I glued all the bigger pieces on first. Then I added the leaves to fill in any sparse spaces and to make it look more natural. Lastly, you can add the acrylic gems to add a little bling and make it seem more icy and wintry. I only ended up using one of the poinsettia flowers but I used all of the leaves from its' stems.

When it's all dry, pull all the little "spider webs" off from the hot glue, and you're done!
