Did you know that March is National Craft Month? And April 2nd is National DIY Day! Therefore getting your craft on starting now, is a must.
You can visit NationalDIYDay.com's blog and view all the details of how I created this cute outdoor wreath. I wanted to share it with you guys here too just in case you didn't find it or wanted to view all the details all over again!
I have one more fun DIY as an NDD ambassador coming to you next week but for now, in case you missed it you can find my first post as contributor and ambassador here!
This Spring inspired wreath that basically anyone on a budget can make because they're all items found and bought from the Dollar store. My inspiration came from here!
I must admit, I think mine turned out pretty close to the inspired version.
My goal was to find all of my items at the dollar store, all items for a dollar or less, because saving and DIY'ing on a friendly budget is awesome!
In the Spring, Dollartree stores tend to carry a lot of crafty items for the season, especially gardening supplies.
I must confess though, they unfortunately did not have the mini terracotta pots in stock therefore I did have to buy those from Joann's but they were definitely under a $1.
HERE ARE THE DOLLAR ITEMS I PURCHASED
- 14″ foam wreath
- Different sizes of terracotta pots
- Gardening wire
- Moss
- Faux succulents
- Burlap Ribbon for wrapping around wreath and hanging the wreath
- Glue Gun
This wreath was fairly simple to put together you simply want to intertwine the pots with the wire and hot glue them in place before adding the moss and faux plants, which you must hot glue in place also.
You can play around with it and whatever seems suitable to your liking and appealing to the eye will work. Its an imperfect craft that can basically turn out perfect no matter what.
I'll be hanging this pretty wreath outside our back gate. We normally have guests or neighbors who pass by or come in and out through our back patio without the constant traffic of our front door, so I think it'll be a treat to have it there and will last throughout the season into Summer hopefully.
Let me know your thoughts and please share your ideas too, I'm happy to hear all about them!
