The weather has been very cold here in Texas, and I believe we are all looking for a Spring refresh so I thought it would be fun to feature a very simple craft project today with happy, Spring vibes. Over on Instagram, I partnered with my friend Jess from Roots Out West to create a Dollar Tree Spring Craft Share. We browsed our respective Dollar Tree stores for supplies to create a cute Spring craft using only Dollar Tree finds. Here is the Reel from Instagram showcasing my trip to Dollar Tree. Today I am featuring the craft from those Dollar Tree finds.
Once I found these adorable moss bunnies, I knew they would be the perfect start to a wreath. Wreaths can be so expensive, so I love using dollar store items when I can. I made this wreath a couple of years ago with Dollar Tree items, and it is still one of my favorite Easter DIYs.
Then I found this bamboo wreath, and I love how the natural elements play so well with the moss on the bunnies. And, to top it off I was amazed to find yarn. I have noticed that Dollar Tree has really stepped up their craft section, and I am loving it!
For your convenience, I have created this step-by-step video below to teach you how to make your own $3 Moss Bunny Spring Wreath with Dollar Tree finds. Then follow along for the step-by-step tutorial to make your own Moss Bunny Spring Wreath just in time for Spring!
DIY $3 Dollar Tree Moss Bunny Spring Wreath by CountryPeony on Jumprope.
To make your own moss bunny spring wreath, you will need:
Step 1: Make the Pom-Poms
Make Pom-Poms using Clover’s Pom-Pom Maker. For this project I made 6 size 45 pom-poms, and 3 size 35 pom-poms.
Open up the pom-pom maker. Tightly wrap the yarn around one side of the pom-pom maker arm until you have a full, consistent amount of yarn on your pom-pom arm.
Then, close the pom-pom maker arm and carry the yarn over to the other arm. Continue to wrap until you have a full, consistent amount of yarn on your other pom-pom arm.
*Keep in mind the more yarn you add to the pom-pom maker, the fluffier and more full the pom-pom will be.
Once you have achieved the yarn fullness you are after close the arm on the other side. Snip the excess yarn.
Cut a separate piece of yarn and set it aside.
Ensure that both pom-pom arms are closed and snug, then follow the pom-pom maker guideline in between and start to cut the yarn.
Once you cut the yarn all the way around the pom-pom maker, double knot the extra piece of yarn around the pom-pom.
Now for my favorite part: open the pom-pom maker arms, then slowly pull the pom-pom maker apart, revealing the cutest pom-pom ever!
Now it is time to fine tune and give your pom-pom a little trim. Cut off any excess yarn around the pom-pom to give it a full and consistent look.
Make enough pom-poms for your wreath. As a reminder, for this project I made 6 size 45 pom-poms, and 3 size 35 pom-poms.
Step 2: Attach the Pom-Poms to the Wreath
Use Beacon’s Fabri-Tac to attach the pom-poms to the bamboo wreath frame.
Attach the pom-poms to the wreath one at a time, and right next to each other. Placing the smaller ones next to the larger ones to create interest.
*I only applied my pom-poms to the bottom of the wreath to create a nice base for the bunnies. I also wanted to keep the bamboo wreath exposed because I loved the natural quality it brought to the wreath.
Step 3: Attach the Moss Bunnies to the Wreath
With Fabri-Tac, attach the bunnies to the pom-poms.
Nestle them into the pom-poms so they are secure.
Step 4: Enjoy your custom, $3 wreath!
I love how this wreath turned out. I love how it is a beautiful transition from winter into spring, and I love how inepensive it was to make even more!
Thank you so much for allowing today. I hope you enjoy making your own Dollar Tree wreath this Spring!
