5 Dollar 5 Minute Christmas Wreath

Last year after Christmas I bought a wreath on clearance for $2 and never got around to doing anything with it. This year when I pulled out my Christmas decorations I saw and decided I needed to make a new wreath for my front door. I went to the dollar store and bought a tube of ornaments, a glittery bow, and a door hanger that had three ornaments hanging down on ribbon. I arranged everything how I wanted it on the wreath then used my hot glue gun and glued it all in place. It only took me about 5 minutes to make it and it only cost me $5!

These are all of the supplies I used for this project:

This is the finished wreath! I love how it turned out and it looks so good on my front door.

Snowman Ornament



Today we experimented with making Christmas ornaments.I bought this little wooden shape at Micheal's for $0.29 and painted it dark blue. I then traced the shape onto a piece of scrapbook paper, cut it out and attached it to the wood using mod podge. When it was dry I put the snowman on, which was cut out of black vinyl. My awesome husband drew the snowman for me and then I cut it with the Silhouette machine. I painted a little bit of the dark blue paint around the edges and then added a little glitter on top. Now all I
have left to do is attach a string so it can hang on our Christmas tree!
