Tips to Make a Christmas Wreath
- When you get ready to cut the sweater, cutting horizontally along the bottom of the sweater is a great place to start. But be aware of the design of the sweater–you want any ribbing or print to match-up and look nice.
- I love an asymmetric wreath. The floral decorations just look so nice when it’s on one side of the wreath, allowing the pretty sweater to show.
- For hanging an asymmetric wreath that has decorations mostly on one side, hold the wreath on an extended finger and see where it balances so the decorations are centered. Tie on your hanger at this point.
- If you need a metal wreath hanger, I love this simple black wreath hanger. It’s perfect as a neutral color with any Christmas wreath.
How Do I Make this DIY Wreath?
I’m so glad you asked. Below is our written tutorial.
DIY Dollar Store Christmas Wreath
When you have an idea, sometimes you just have to make it and this DIY dollar store Christmas wreath is one of those for me. I had an old sweater to upcycle and this was just the perfect idea!
Materials
- Foam wreath form
- Deer ornament
- Candle ring florals or other festive florals
- Pine cone florals
- Sweater
- Floral wire
Tools
- Hot glue gun & glue
- Scissors
- Wire cutters
Instructions
- Cut your old sweater to fit around the wreath form.
- Wrap the sweater around the form and glue it in place with the seam in the back. Hot glue this in multiple places so that it stays when you pull the sweater tight.
- Cut candle ring florals in half and remove any unnecessary plastic pieces.
- With the floral wire or hot glue, affix these elements to the wreath. Again, I wanted mine to be off to one side to make an asymmetrical wreath.
- Glue on the deer, pine cones or any other elements.
- Place on your door or pack in a box for a gift!
