Dollar Tree Easter Egg Wreath

You may have remembered me saying recently that I had been to my local Dollar Tree for over a month. However, when I finally went, I was very surprised to see all of the changes and new items they had! Definitely an upgrade from what the had before as far as the decor and crafting supplies go. This is a super fun and easy Easter wreath using almost all Dollar Tree items!

You will need:

*Wire egg form-Dollar Tree

*Chunky white yarn-Hobby Lobby

*Decorative Easter eggs-Dollar Tree

*Decorative picks-Dollar Tree

*Ribbon-Dollar Tree

I ended up not using the larger eggs pictured above.

The first thing I did was take my chunky yarn and wrap it around my egg form. I simply hot glued my starting point to the egg form and continued wrapping the yarn around securing with hot glue as needed. As you can see, I used white yarn but any Spring color would be cute!

Once I had my wreath completely wrapped with yarn I pulled all of the eggs off of my picks and glued them around the egg leaving an opening at the bottom for my bow.

Next, I took the berry looking picks and cut pieces of each color off of the stem to use as fillers between the eggs I just glued on.

This is how it looks once everything is glued on. Of course you could always tweak it and make it your own by adding more to it but I deciding to leave mine like this!

Now for the bow. I found this super cute ribbon at Dollar Tree also. I simply took four pieces of this ribbon cut at roughly 5 inches wide and stacked them on top of each other. I used a skinny piece of ribbon and tied it tightly in the center of the ribbons. I then fanned my bow out, glued it on my wreath, and added another piece of the berry pick to the center to finish it off!

So, what do you think? Easy, cute and budget friendly! You can’t go wrong with this one!

Dollar Tree Wood Slice Easter Egg Decor

You all know I love me a good Dollar Tree craft project, so I have brought you yet another adorable diy using Dollar Tree items! Your welcome!

I hadn’t been to our local Dollar Tree for several weeks and let me tell you, I found lots of goodies when I finally made it there! In case you missed my haul from my shopping trip you can watch that right here on FB! To say the least I was very impressed. Dollar Tree has stepped up their game in the decor and craft department for sure!

You will need:

*Oval shaped wood slice-Dollar Tree

*Gift bag of choice-I chose this one from Dollar Tree

*Raffia

*Half wood beads-you can get these beads with my affiliate link HERE

I ended up not using the wood beads pictured below so disregard those. They did come from Hobby Lobby in case you were wondering!

When I seen these wood slices at the Dollar Tree, I knew I had to have one! Not only were they $5, but they were the perfect shape for an egg! My mind instantly went to work thinking what I could create with this! I also found these cute gift bags and loved the colors and pattern. So tada!

The first step is to cut one side of the gift bag off and then trace the wood slice.

Next, I used mod podge to adhere my traced shape to the wood slice. I then used my sanding block to get any excess paper that was hanging over the edges of the wood slice.

Now it’s time to outline the egg with half wood beads. I use these all the time when I am crafting and are so handy to have! You can use my affiliate link and get these wood beads right HERE!

Lastly, it’s time to add a bow. I tried a few different options but decided to go with the trusty raffia bow. Of course, I added a button in the center to give it a pop of color! I just love how this turned out!

If you want to make this into a hanger like I did, simply use a piece of jute twine or rope and staple/glue it to the back of the wood slice. You could even add wood beads for an extra pop.

So, what do you think? Will you be giving this one a try?

Burlap Hop Banner

You will need:

*burlap banner(Hobby Lobby)

*Spring colored paint

*Spouncers

*H-O-P letters(Hobby Lobby)

*Glue gun-click here for the cordless glue gun I use

The banner I found at Hobby Lobby came with 12 pennants on it so I cut 5 of them off to make a shorter banner. You will want to lay down something under the pennants before you begin painting. I then took my spouncer and started making polka dots on the pennants. I used two different sizes of spouncers for this.

Once the paint was dry, I then glued the letters on the three center pennants leaving two on each side of HOP.

To hang the banner you simply tie a loop on each end of the jute twine.

DIY Easter Egg Garland

You will need:

-Easter egg ornaments(Hobby Lobby)

-Jute twine

-Pastel wood beads(Hobby Lobby)

To start the garland I tied a double knot in one end of my jute twine leaving a small loop on the end to use for hanging.

I found the eggs and the wood beads at Hobby Lobby. You don’t have to use these specific items but you will want to make sure the eggs you use have a string attached to them so they can hang from the garland. I did three wood beads and then one of the eggs for my pattern but you could certainly change it up for a different look.

Once I had all of my eggs and beads strung, I then tied a loop on this end just as I did on the other end of the garland. This turned out adorable! You could also add some tassels to each end of the garland if desired!

Paper Straw Easter Egg Decor

You will need:

*Paper straws-Hobby Lobby

*Egg cut-out

*Paint of choice

*Rope twine

*Ribbon if bow is desired

I chose to paint my egg with the color Pink Parfait by Apple Barrel. You could sure skip this step if you wanted, however, I wanted the edges of my egg to be painted.

Next, I began gluing my straws on. I started with blue and worked my way to the top using all three colors.

Once I had all of the straws glued on I took my scissors and cut around the shape of the egg.

To give it a more finished look, I glued rope twine around the edge. I also used this twine to make a hanger for the egg once I was finished.

The last thing I did was add a bow. I simply took two different pattern of ribbons and crossed them and used a piece of jute twin to secure the middle. I added a cute little egg embellishment to the center as well.
