How to Make a Farmhouse Wreath from Dollar Tree Items for under 10 Dollars

hi Lori here today we are gonna do a really small fun project all from Dollar Tree items and is gonna be under $10 so I love to give my Dollar Tree and just see if I can find something and just create something so this is going to be really easy and simple and and inexpensive I mean you can't beat that right alright so I will move the camera down and we'll get started so one of the great things that the Dollar Tree has are these little tiny succulents in these little little plastic jar things but you can just they're just styrofoam and you can just pull them right out so these are so popular in arrangements in wreaths and so we're going to take a few of these and I got a ring just a little styrofoam ring from the Dollar Tree and I got some little burlap okay and these come in all different shapes and colors and they're just so cute aren't they cute so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take some of this burlap here we'll just trim this off here we go okay and what I like to do is take this Earl app and I just take some floral pins and I just start it I like to start it on the outside and then I'll just take this and I'm just using that one pin and I'm gonna start to wrap it so this is pretty thin burlap so I will wrap it twice and you want to wrap it pretty tight you could also do this with ribbon you can also do this with bandanas so they have the bandanas there and it looks really cute if you do this with Ben Davis so you could do this for the holidays especially like Memorial Day or fourth of July because they have oftentimes they have the red white and blue so now this may take two rolls so I'll wrap it once and we'll see how it looks I kind of expected it to take about two rolls because it is pretty thin and I don't really want you to see the styrofoam once I'm done okay don't worry about the little strings so we can cut those off later so I'm going to take my second roll I'm gonna trim this off because it's very hard to get this little tape off and I'm going to start the second one right here I'm going to use my second pen right there and then I'm gonna go in the opposite direction okay so I'm really just covering it a second time just to cover that styrofoam I'm pulling it pretty tight it doesn't have to be perfect because we already have one layer on there you just want to make sure that you really can't see through there very well so so far we've spent about three dollars so this is a really cute rustic farmhouse look okay all right so we have completely covered it I don't really like this shredding so I'm just going to cut this off okay and I'm gonna turn on my glue gun because this last piece right here we're gonna glue right in here okay if you see any pieces just kind of work at it a little bit you can kinda move them around but you see how cute that is just like that just covered like that and you just want to pick which side you think looks better I think this side looks pretty good alright so so far we have three dollars okay and you can trim off some of these little strings but now remember this is a rustic look this is kind of the farmhouse rustic look so some of this is kind of what you expect okay all right here we go now now what you want to do now that you have it covered let's see if our glue gun is ready not quite okay so what I'd like to do is I like to figure out okay what's the worst side and it looks kind of like this it's kind of shredding over here and what I'll do is I will take these cute little succulents and now we'll figure out which ones I want to use so I like these I think that one might be a little large I really like this one I like these three okay so I just pull them right out of the little styrofoam nice toss though because I'm not going to use that okay once our hot glue gun let's heat it up what we're gonna do is we're gonna stick it right down into our styrofoam now this one isn't very stiff this one is this one is okay so if you're having trouble getting it down in there do is you can take something like an ice pick and just hook all in it you don't want to go all the way through but you want to get a good hole in it and see these are about the same size it might be ready now let's see let's glue this little piece in and see if it's ready okay hold that so remember we only use two floral pins on this alright we're going to use a tiny bit of glue so I'm just gonna take and I'm gonna glue put some glue on this before I put it down in that little hole I made okay I'm just putting some glue on it I'm just gonna stick it right down in that hole so you might have to kind of workout it a little bit have any trouble make your hole a little bit bigger okay there we go all right okay so figure out where they got that one there okay and the reason I'm doing it this way instead of just gluing it on it's because it will make it a little bit more secure so I'm just making that phone a little bit bigger let's make sure it'll fit down in there yes okay so then I'll put a little glue on it so I'm gonna keep it in that hole once I get it in there and I'll just kind of work it in remember you can always check it back out I kind of make that hole a little bit larger okay let's put this one here okay so let's see so I'm just sticking it in and making a hole not gluing it not put right in that hole oh look how cute that is you see how cute that is okay last one now of course I'm sticking with a ten dollar budget however so we now have six dollars on this we're about to have seven you could get as many of these as you want and you could actually put it all the way around so I am intentionally doing it to keep it under ten dollars make sure it's in there yes okay okay and right down in the hole it goes oh that is so cute don't you love that I mean look at that that is all Dollar Tree items so now you can take another roll of this burlap okay now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this and I'm going to make a little hanger with it so I'm going to pull it around here like this okay and I'm gonna figure out where about how long I want it to hang I think about here is good yes okay so I'm gonna cut that off right there and then I'm going to take the rest of this and I'm gonna make a little bow so just a simple loop oh we're going to do about maybe five inches there we go now I'm just gonna pull it around so there we go okay so that all three pieces there we go all right so I can trim this off and I'm going to use one pipe cleaner of course you can get these from the Dollar Tree so what I will do is I will take my pipe cleaner and I'm going to thread it through these two here just like that I'm going to twist it off so that it won't shred and then I'm gonna run it right through my bow number coming around the back I'm going to twist it again and then this is going to be by hanger so what I do when I use pipe cleaners is I will twist it around itself like this okay and there you go as simple as that we used seven about eight dollars to make this and isn't it adorable I just think it's so adorable Deb have you enjoyed this and I'll tell you that if you want to keep your piece here in place you can just hot glue it right along the bottom to keep it up okay I hope you enjoyed this this is just a quick little project inexpensive that you can do with Dollar Tree items so let me know what you think and thank you for watching bye bye
