10 Minute DIY Dollar Store Summer Wreath

A summer wreath is such a quick and easy way to change up your front entry for the new season, and today I’m sharing a very quick and easy DIY dollar summer wreath that would be pretty on any front door.

It’s June! Summer is just around the corner…we have only a few weeks left of school, and the weather around here has already been heating up. We are still working away at finishing up things around our new build, and hopefully the exterior of our house will be getting painted within the next week or two. I can’t wait to see the exterior done, and have been starting to adding a few decor touches to the front entry. Although I have not yet settled on a paint colour for the front door, that shall come soon enough, and then I look forward to adorning it with a cute DIY summer wreath! Today I’m sharing a quick and easy DIY Dollar Store Summer Wreath idea that I whipped up this week adorned with pretty baby’s breath and white roses (or white ranunculus, depending how you look at them!).

And today I’ve joined a few of my talented blogging friends who are also sharing their DIY summer wreath ideas. Be sure to check out their posts at the bottom of this page…

For this seasonal wreath, I picked up all of my materials at my local Dollarama – even the wreath form. It was really fun to take on the challenge of turning a slightly tacky and sparse dollar store wreath form into something cute and worth displaying!

I bought a basic wreath form covered with some faux boxwood vine, 3 stems of faux roses/ranunculus, and 3 stems of baby’s breath. Plus I also used my wire snippers and glue gun.

Then I started by pulling the white flower blooms off the stems – I attached them directly to some pieces that emerged from the wreath form, as you can see below, but if your form isn’t like this then they could easily be glued onto it.

I also removed the leaves from the rose/ ranunculus branches and attached them to the wreath form as well to add some variety in the greenery.

Again I ran them around the rim of the wreath, leaving the top open for the hanging ribbon.

Next I cut the Baby’s Breath branches into separate sections with my wire cutters…

I added hot glue to the ends of each section and attached them into the wreath form on either sides of the cantered flowers.

Done! Time to add some simple ribbon to hang it with…

What do you think? Looks pretty amazing for dollar store finds, right?

I do love dollar store crafts – if even just for the fun challenge of taking inexpensive looking materials and creating something beautiful with them. A couple of weeks back I shared how I turned a simple glass vase from the dollar store into a faux- cane piece using a very surprising item (that I also found at the dollar store)…

  1. Krista, your wreath is so pretty with the vibrant greens and white flowers. It’s perfect for summer, but I think it would work as part of the décor for a wedding.
    Enjoying the wreath blog hop 🙂
