How to Make the Dollar Tree Hello Wreath
Follow this step-by-step tutorial to create your very own Dollar Tree Hello Wreath:
Materials You’ll Need
Instructions
Prepare the Hello Cutout
Start by cutting two small pieces of jute twine, each about 2.5 inches long. Use your hot glue gun to attach these twine pieces to the backside of the “H” and the “O” in the “Hello” cutout (or wherever your wood word cutout will best attach to the wreath).
Attach both ends to form a small loop from each piece of twine. These loops will be used to attach the cutout to the wreath.
Attach the Hello to the Wreath
Next, cut two pieces of jute twine, each about 5 inches long. Thread each piece of twine through the loops you created in step 1. Flip the “Hello” cutout over and attach it to the grapevine wreath by tying the jute twine securely around the wreath’s grapevines.
If you’re using a wood wreath or another more solid wreath form, you can skip the twine and glue the wood word cutout directly to the wreath.
Add Flowers
Now, it’s time to add the sunflowers. Carefully remove the flowers from their stems. Apply hot glue to the bottom of each flower, then attach them to the grapevine wreath.
Begin by placing the flowers next to the “Hello” cutout. Continue attaching flowers all around the wreath until you achieve the desired look. Be creative with the arrangement, spacing the flowers evenly for a balanced appearance.
You could also cluster just a few flowers around the hello wood cutout and leave the rest of the wreath empty to show off the grapevine texture.
Finish
Allow the wreath to dry completely before hanging it or displaying it in your chosen location. Clean up any hot glue gun strings by using a blow dryer — on a medium setting, carefully blow warm/hot air over the glued area and the errant strings will curl right up and out of sight!
Once it’s dry, your Dollar Tree Hello Wreath is ready to greet your guests with warmth and style.
Variations for Your Dollar Tree Hello Wreath
One of the joys of crafting is personalization. Here are some variations to consider for your Dollar Tree Hello Wreath:
- Seasonal Swaps: Swap out the white sunflowers for flowers that match the current season or holiday. Use pastel-colored flowers for spring, vibrant blooms for summer, or rich, warm tones for fall.
- Painted Wooden Cutout: Instead of using the wooden “Hello” cutout as is, get creative with paint. You can match it to your home’s color scheme or create a distressed or rustic finish for added character.
- Additional Embellishments: Add extra embellishments like ribbons, bows, or small decorative items that reflect your personal style.
- Different Greetings: While “Hello” is inviting, feel free to substitute it with other greetings or words that hold meaning for you, like “Welcome,” “Home,” or even a custom family name sign.
Making your own DIY wreath is a great way to get a wreath you love, on a budget, that exactly fits your style! Make these wreaths yourself during your free time, or as part of a girls’ night in or craft night.
Common Questions about the Dollar Tree Hello Wreath
Here are some common questions people have about making a Dollar Tree Hello Wreath:
Can I use a different type of wreath base?
Yes, you can use a different type of wreath base, but keep in mind that the grapevine wreath provides a rustic and natural look that complements the craft. A twig wreath, grass wreath, or straw wreath would be a great substitute, or boxwood wreaths are classic and add greenery (and you can make one yourself). You could experiment with foam wreaths or wire wreath bases for a different aesthetic.
Make your own wreath base using this easy rope wreath tutorial, or by using up some scrap wood pieces to make a wooden wreath.
How can I make the wreath weather-resistant for outdoor use?
To make your wreath weather-resistant, use UV-resistant artificial flowers and a stronger adhesive (like E6000 crafting glue) that will be less susceptible to moisture and temperature changes.
Also consider spraying the wreath with a clear outdoor sealer. This will help protect the materials from the elements and prolong the wreath’s lifespan if you plan to use it outdoors.
Can I substitute the sunflowers with other artificial flowers?
Absolutely! You can customize your wreath with any artificial flowers that suit your taste and the season. Choose colors and styles that resonate with your decor.
In conclusion, the Dollar Tree Hello Wreath is not only a fantastic craft but also a versatile decoration that brings warmth and character to any space.
