Ten Cent Dollar Store Wreaths
Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a great day. There’s not much in this world that can be bought for ten cents, but today’s wreath craft is an exception.
I came up with this idea a couple of years ago when I was teaching art at my daughter’s middle school. I wanted to do something a little different, something they’d be proud to take home.

While strolling the aisles at the dollar store, I saw this package of garland and an idea began to percolate in my mind. Perhaps mini wreaths could be made with this?

Make a ring by connecting the ends together. I sort of made a loop at each end and hooked them together.

I used mini beads, pipe cleaner cork screws (wrap around a pencil, snip pieces off), a small bell, and some wired ribbon. This project can be used in many settings: school, Sunday school, or a senior center, for example. Easy but fun, the results can be very pleasing.

These are so cute and so inexpensive! Great idea!
Great idea!
Cute and clever. If it goes on the locker, you know it was successful.
Awesome idea to craft with the kiddies! They did a good job!
Wow I really love the wreaths and what a great idea to get the garland from the dollar store. Thanks for sharing this great idea and craft.
Your little wreaths are adorable!
These are so cute! I might have to have the grands make some. Thanks!
You know you did well when the kids actually put them on their lockers. How festive! And, what a treat for them. So sweet!
Wow, Great idea! All of them or so unique and pretty!
Hello. It's always nice to meet another Dollar Tree addict. Maybe we should form a support group? The wreath's are a a very nice idea.
They all look great! I would definitely do this with my kids' classes if thy were younger. I could have used this idea when I was in charge of the Christmas craft for my son's 1st grade class!

Such wonderful little wreaths! How fun to have the chance to create your own and then show it off 🙂

Love this craft! So cute, and I love the wreaths on everyone's lockers!
They were just getting the Christmas stuff out when we were there on Saturday. I will have to go back.

Oh so cute! I'm hoping I can find some of that garland as this would be a fun project to do with my nieces. I could even see making smaller ones to use as ornaments on a white or colored tree.
The hallway shot is so cute!
Hello!! Just wanted to let you know I will be using this in a round up (posting soon) from the Teach Me Tuesday party! Very much appreciate you linking up with us 😉
Thanks so much Bobbi–I appreciate that!
These are adorable; and to think I’ve probably walked right by this kind of garland as it is too big for dollhouse minis and too small for a full sized wreathe! Another, add to my list item!
