St Patty's Day Wreath Revamped!!!

Now that Valentine's Day is over, I am swapping out my Valentines Day decor for St Patty's day. I pulled out my wreath from last year and thought, it needs a little something more!

Do you all remember my St Patty's Day DIY wreath

I made last year???

Check it out HERE!

Here's a photo to refresh your memory! :)

WELL, I just happened to be walking through the St Patty's day section in my local Dollar Tree and came across this!

I thought, it was the perfect accessory to add to my DIY wreath!

So I tied it on, and

WHOLA!!!

Instant update!!!

I LOVE the updated look!

I will be doing some more St Patrick's day decorating this week. Will post details soon!

Fall Wreath on the cheap!

My front door has been a bit bare since I took down my DIY Dollar Tree Halloween wreath a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to make something cute for Thanksgiving, but wasn't really sure what I wanted. I knew I want it to be thrifty, as all my money these days is being saved or spent for Christmas. Here is what I came up with.
I got this frame at at the auction I went to a few weeks back. It was in a stack of like 15 frames/pictures I got for $1.

I started out by taking the canvas out of it.

Then I spray painted it orange with some spray paint I had left over from another project.

Once my spray paint was dry & started adding some garland & leaves.

The garland is from Walmart & is the only thing I bought specifically for this project. It was $3.

This floral leaf pick was leftover from my Fall display. It was a Dollar Tree score & as you can see it still had many leaves left on it. I just cut off the leaves leaving a little bit of stem on each.

Then I just hot glued it on all on the frame. I used my leftover leaves to fill in the areas that seemed bare to me. I added some ribbon to hang it (from my ribbon stash) and

WHOLA!

It really spruced up my bare door!

A close up!

Not bad for under $5!

Enjoy!

Halloween Dollar Tree Spookathon Wreath

Here is another Halloween crafty decoration I made this year. Most of the supplies came from the Dollar Tree. It was a very thrifty & easy to make wreath.

SUPPLIES:

A straw wreath (thrift store score at 50 cents)

Some Ribbon both Wired & not (some from Dollar Tree & some I had already)

"Trick or Treat" glitter foam sign (Dollar Tree)

Black Spray paint (on hand)

BEFORE

I started out by spray painting my wreath black.

Once that was dry & just basically wrapped ribbon around it. I started with the cool wide wired Glittery, SPIDER ribbon I got at the Dollar Store. I then added some green and purple ribbon & the ribbon that says "Happy Halloween" (Dollar store too). Lastly I added the foam "Trick or Treat" sign. Used some ribbon to make a hanger & WHOLA! A Halloween Dollar Tree Spookathon Wreath!

AFTER

Not bad for $5.50!

Enjoy!!!
