Who doesn't love a pretty wreath? Some of the prices that are attached to those pre-made wreaths though makes me second think having wreaths for most holidays. With the emergence of Pinterest and the Dollar Tree having most supplies available for every occasion, I decide where there is a will there is a way. The only thing I purchased away from the Dollar Tree was the actual foam wreath because I wanted my wreath a certain size and consistency but there are wreaths sold there.
I used a coupon as one should always do at Michaels's unless the item is already on sale. Then I took some twine that I had in my stash that was also a Dollar Tree purchase and wrapped the twine to cover the entire wreath.
Next I gathered my goodies from the Dollar Tree and organized how I wanted the wreath to look when finished.
I purchased the hat only for the lettering. A dollar for some firm sparkly letters I figured it was worth it. I used the foam squares to make a rainbow and instead of using cardstock I figured the foam would hold up better and not rip. I cut out the little triangles and hot glued them to some left over twine. Then I layered the clovers and attached them to the wreath as well. I used tacs to add some gold to match the gold coins. Next I used the coins and glued them on each side of the rainbow. Finally I used some green ribbon from my stash and stapled it to the wreath for hanging. I think I turned out pretty cool.
Now I need to decide what kind of wreath I want for Easter....
