How to Make a Dollar Tree Winter Wreath

If you're looking for winter front door decor inspiration, this Dollar Tree Winter Wreath is the perfect project. Today we're going to take a Dollar Tree wreath frame and turn it into a super cute winter wreath using three Dollar Tree scarves.

Equipment

Materials

  • 1 14" Dollar Tree Wreath Frame
  • 3 Winter Scarves
  • string

Instructions

  • Simply lay the scarves on top of one another until they are flat and aligned at each end, or at least the top end. Take a little bit of string and tie it off at about six inches down on the stack of scarves. That's going to serve as the starting point for our braid.
  • Now separate all three scarves and just start your crisscross weaving like you are braiding your little girl's hair. That's all I could equate it to. And so one over the other, just like a regular braid. Nothing fancy, nothing difficult. Just go back and forth until you have an entire rope, basically braided of three scarves.
  • Make sure to keep some loose space between the knots so that it's not super tight and so that the braided scarf piece will go further once it's laid down on the wreath form. Basically, just braid it, but keep the braid a little bit on the loose side.
  • My favorite thing is that this is super simple, and anyone, anyone can do this. Once you get to the end that is about the same distance as the beginning, grab more of the string and tie it off here at this end as well. Again, about six to ten inches from the bottom. You'll want a little bit extra hanging off of the wreath.
  • Position your braided scarf rope onto your wreath frame and using the black string tie it onto the wreath frame from the back. Using more pieces of string you're going to take a section at a time and tie it to the back of the frame weaving through the scarf and then around each side of the bars on the back. That is going to secure it to the wreath frame.
  • Now, once you flip it over, you can fluff it up, and it really helps it to fit the entire wreath frame.
