Making your own fuzzy winter wreath is so easy and doesn’t cost much at all. In fact, most supplies come from Dollar Tree!
Over the years, Dollar Tree has really grown its craft section, making it incredibly easy to make a variety of home decor crafts.
It’s also interesting what you can come up with using some things NOT from the craft section. For example: let’s talk about mop heads and mop covers. Here are a few crafts that I’ve made from Dollar Tree Mops:
- Easter Bunny Yarn Wreath
- Dollar Store Yarn Pumpkins
- Valentine Heart Wreaths
- FOUR Crafts with Easter Bunny Wreath Forms
There are some pretty incredible creations that come from Dollar Tree supplies and materials. Keep reading to see just how easy it is to make your own winter wreath using microfiber mop covers.
WHY I LOVE THIS PROJECT
I’ve always loved making crafts using Dollar Tree (and Dollar Store) materials. Instead of paying a fortune for a look-alike from a high-end store, projects like this make it easy to duplicate the look in a creative and inexpensive way.
This is also a project that calls for minimal everyday supplies, which makes it ideal to make with your local craft group or with your kids. Follow the tutorial below to make your own wreath in less than 30 minutes!
SUPPLIES NEEDED
- 2 white microfiber mop covers (Dollar Tree)
- 1 8-inch metal wreath form (come in 2-packs from Dollar Tree)
- faux greenery
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- 4 large wooden craft sticks (Dollar Tree)
- masking tape
- pencil
- miter shears or heavy-duty scissors
- fine point paint brushes
- DecoArt Home Decor antique wax
- DecoArt acrylic craft paint in colors warm white and avocado
- small paint tray
TUTORIAL: HOW TO MAKE A FUZZY WINTER WREATH
Follow this quick video, or read the step-by-step directions below.
- Cover the wreath form with the microfiber mop covers. Do so by removing the tags, placing the wreath onto the mop cover, and applying a generous amount of hot glue to secure it in place.
- Assemble a wooden church for the centerpiece (if you’re not religious, I also provide a gingerbread house option).
- For the wooden church, start with 4 large craft sticks. Using angle shears, cut the tops off at a 45 degree angle. Then, assemble the pieces together to create a church building and secure the craft sticks together using a piece of masking tape.
- Trace over the bottom edge of the tape with a pencil. This will tell you exactly where to make your cuts to create a level bottom to your church. Trim on the lines of each craft stick.
- Take one of the reject pieces and hot glue it across the 4 craft sticks to secure them together (this will be the back of the church).
- Use another reject piece to create a church door (may need to trim down some).
- Stain the entire craft stick church, including the door. Allow it to dry completely.
- Mix together the green and white acrylic paints to get a color that is close to the color of the lambs ear. Using the non-brush end of a paintbrush, dip it in the warm white paint and make little dots in a wreath-like shape.
- Using a little bit of white paint, distress the door of the church (using a dry brush).
- Optional: paint a trim around the church and the door. I also added snow to the roof using small semi-circles.
- Finally, paint a bow at the base of the wreath and hot glue the lambs ear and church to the bottom and center of the wreath.
I love how this turned out and enjoy that fact that it will last far beyond the holiday season.
