Wreaths are a must-have when it comes to Christmas decorating. Whether you hang them on your door or decorate indoors with them, wreaths seem to be a Christmas staple. 

If you missed day 1 of the 12 Days of Christmas Crafts, you can find that post HERE. 

I found this wreath on the Pier 1 site and just couldn’t part with $80 for it. So I decided to make a Pier 1 wreath dupe and headed to my local Dollar Tree to pick up my supplies.

My finished product total was $6! Wow!

Supplies Needed For Dollar Tree DIY Christmas Wreath

**I purchased my supplies from my local Dollar Tree. I found similar items on Amazon and although I looked for the lowest price they didn’t compare to $1 per item.**

Supplies needed for Dollar Tree Christmas Wreath DIY

  • 14″ Wire Wreath Form 
  • Shatterproof red ornaments in 2 sizes – I used 2 large sets (14 ornaments) and 1 medium set (12 ornaments)
  • 18″ Artificial Tree – 2 are needed for this craft. I love these $1 trees and use them in many different crafts. I pick up 10 as soon as they are on the shelves. 
  • Wired Green Pine Garland – Dollar Tree sells the wired garland and the 12″ garland ties. I prefer the garland because it is a little more and I can cut pieces to my desired length. 
  • Christmas Plaid Wired Ribbon 
  • Glue Gun
  • Glue Sticks
  • Pipe Cleaners

How To Make A Dollar Tree Christmas Wreath

STEP 1 – Open the packaging of artificial trees and remove plastic pieces.

STEP 2 – Fluff the artificial trees and place them on the wreath form. I did not secure the trees into place at this point. I just wanted an idea of the placement so I could start adding the baubles.

STEP 3 – Hot glue the ornaments in place. I started with the larger ornaments and randomly placed them on the wreath form.

STEP 4 – Fill in the spaces between the larger ornaments with the smaller ornaments. I kept a few ornaments on the side to fill in any gaps later.

STEP 5 – Cut pieces of wired garland to secure trees in place. I cut extra pieces and covered gaps and the center of the tree.

STEP 6 – Secure the trees in place. I used extra garland to wrap the metal exposed pieces at the top of the wreath.

STEP 7 – Fluff trees to hide the metal form. Use additional garland to hide metal and give the greenery a fuller look.

STEP 8 – Make a double loop freeform bow with your plaid wired ribbon. Secure the center of the bow with a pipe cleaner.

STEP 9 – Attach the bow to the top of the wreath using a pipe cleaner and hot glue. Cut dovetails at the end of the ribbon and place the tails in the desired shape.

STEP 10 – Fill in holes with the remaining ornaments.

STEP 11 – Flip the wreath over and use pipe cleaners to make sure all your ornaments are securely attached to the wire form. Add additional hot glue if needed.
