Dollar Tree Santa Belt Wreath
Ho Ho Ho! It’s time for Santa to head out on his sleigh and deliver all his presents. That thought inspired us to design a fun and easy decorative piece to add to our holiday decor. We thought this Dollar Tree Santa belt wreath was the perfect thing.
Not only is this project simple to make, it is economical as well. We were able to make this craft for less than $10. We could find most of the materials at Dollar Tree and the rest we already had on hand or found at our local JoAnn.

Dollar Tree Christmas Wreath
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we love crafting, especially during the holidays. Our favorite items to make are the ones we can share with you that are quick and will fit into everyone’s budget.
This Dollar Tree Christmas wreath came about when we saw the wooden frame. I mentioned to my kiddo that it looked like Santa’s belt buckle and then we saw the fleece scarf. Before we knew it, a new design was born!

This is an adult and older child-friendly craft project. If yours is good with a hot glue gun, you or they can create this wreath in less than 30 minutes. The part that will take the longest to accomplish is waiting for the paint to dry on the frame.

Tips For Making A Dollar Tree Santa Belt Wreath
- We already had a can of gold spray paint, so we used that for the buckle but you can use acrylic paint or foil to have a shiny, gilded look.
- To cover up the chalkboard area of the frame, we used painter’s tape. Not only does this cover the entire area perfectly, but it comes up quite easily. You can also use paper, but you do run the risk of having the paint bleed through.
- When wrapping the yarn, be sure to do so firmly but not so tightly that it compromises the shape of the wreath form. If you pull too tightly, it can bend the form out of shape and then you will have a wonky belt.

Complete covering the wreath form, using the entire bundle of yarn. Glue the end of the yarn to the wreath form.
Cover the chalkboard center of the frame with painter’s tape and then paint the outside of the frame with gold paint. Let it completely dry. You may need to paint two coats.
Fold the fleece scarf in half lengthwise and cut the scarf to 24 inches in length.
Add hot glue to the backside of the frame.
Add hot glue to the center of the scarf and then place the frame in the center of the fleece scarf. Press firmly so that it adheres to the fabric. Allow the glue to dry.
Add hot glue to one of the ends of the scarf and press it firmly to the backside of the wreath. Stretch the scarf across the front of the wreath and then glue down the other side to the back of the wreath.
Notes For Making A Dollar Tree Santa Belt Wreath
- If you cannot find the black fleece scarf at Dollar Tree, use a roll of the faux leather “ribbon,” use black stretch fleece, or flannel fabric from a craft store.
- If you use a 14″ or smaller frame, adjust the amount of fabric you need for the belt.
