DIY Christmas wreath under $15!

Hey guys! Here's another frugal DIY project for under $15! I used an old tinsel wreath that I bought at Dollar Tree. I took the tinsel off and headed over to Target when they had the cartwheel offer for 25% off Holiday Decor to buy some garland which came out to $7.50. I also used some old bells that were on a beaded garland. and a bow from Dollar Tree and some letters from Michaels which were on clearance for $0.25 a piece! The results are below!

   

Things you'll need:

Tinsel wreath (from Dollar Tree)

Garland (it can be from anywhere)

Wire

Scissors

Glue Gun

Old Beaded Garland (you can use anything else)

Letters from Michaels or A.C. Moore

Acrylic Paint

Acrylic Paint Sealant

Big Bow

Step 1: Wrap the garland around the hooks on the wreath. Do not wrap it all the way around because you'll need the back open for when you're stringing stuff through.

Step 2: When you're finished, it'll look like this. Set that aside for now

 

Step 3: Paint the letter however you'd like. I chose to go with Red,White, & Green since I ran out of gold. Let dry and then apply the Sealant over it to give that shine and so the paint doesn't chip.

 

Step 4: Grab some wire and put it through the bow. Then put the wire through the wreath and twist it to secure it in place

   

Step 5: Grab some of your old bead garlands (I chose one with the bells). Cut off the gold bells

   

Step 6: String the bells and twist. string the wire through the wreath, twist and secure.

 

Step 7: I used the leftover beads from the garland and glued them with my glue gun to the edges of the bow .

   

Step 8: Hang it so you can see where you'll attach the letters you painted earlier

   

Step 9: Glue the letters to the wreath with the glue gun. You'll have to be quick because it will dry 

and dried up glue is horrible 

   

Step 10: Hang up outside and enjoy!
