HOW DO YOU MAKE A DOLLAR TREE WREATH DIY?

Once you have everything you need, we can start making this awesome Christmas craft. Follow the steps below for the best results.

STEP ONE: PLACE GARLAND ON THE WREATH

Grab your wreath form and garland. Wrap it around the form by attaching it in the middle of the wire. Then, you can secure its place by wrapping a small section of the garland around the wire.

Repeat the process for the other half of the wreath form.

STEP TWO: PAINT THE BIRDHOUSE

Get your birdhouse, paintbrush, and paint. The next thing you’ll be doing is to paint the birdhouse. Use white paint for the front, bottom, and sides of the birdhouse.

Use black paint for the roof of the birdhouse.

It is up to you if you will need to coat another layer of paint. With the Waverly paint we used, a second coat is needed.

STEP THREE: PLACE BERRY PICKS

With the use of wire cutters, cut a small portion of the red berries off. Before you put hot glue on the berry picks, position them first on the wreath depending on how you want the overall design to look.

Once you are satisfied with how it looks, you can now dab hot glue on the berry picks and stick them onto the garland. Make sure to press down firmly to make sure it sticks.

STEP FOUR: FINISHING TOUCHES

When your birdhouse paint is dried and ready, apply hot glue to the bottom and position it on the wreath.

Press down firmly to be sure it really sticks to the wreath.

Remove the cardinal from the winter picks. Then, apply hot glue to the cardinal and stick it to the birdhouse.

Finally, stick the winter picks to the opposite side.
