She’s done it again! Who’s the she and what has she done? I’m the she and I have come up with another Dollar Tree decoration.
I know I’m always singing the praises of Dollar Tree, but I love that store. I have found some amazing deals there and I always stop there first for certain items.
If I want to make any decorations for holidays or just a home décor item I check out the supplies at Dollar Tree. I may go to a craft store to pick up other supplies, but I always see what I can get at Dollar Tree first.
This decoration was made with only Dollar Tree supplies, so it only cost me $6 and about an hour of my time. The only reason it took that long is because I was figuring out how to do it and take pictures as I went.
I do realize that this wreath, for lack of a better term, screams St. Patrick’s Day. Lots of green and glitter and shamrocks, but I think a lot of people go over the top with St. Patrick’s Day. I know my kids love when I make their food green and put up lots of green decorations for the holiday.
Truth be told I prefer a more subtle look when it comes to my decorations, but for $6 and four kids who all think this wreath is pretty cool I’m happy.
Take a look at the supplies list and then hit up your local Dollar Tree. In an hour or less you will have a festive St. Patrick’s Day decoration for your door.
