DIY Christmas Wreaths Under $5 Project Decorating & Craft Ideas

about a week ago i blogged about how to make your own wreath for under $10! Today, I'm going to show you how to make a wreath (Christmas) for under $5! ENJOY!

WHAT YOU NEED...

GARLAND (9 ft) $4.00 from target / or $0.99 from 99 cents store
TINSEL (9 ft) $0.99 from 99 cents store
Ornaments (Shiny small 16pk) $0.99 from target / 99 cents store
Ornaments (Glitter medium 8pk) $0.99 from target / 99 cents store
Any other ornaments/decors of your choice :) / artificial poinsettias $0.99 from 99 cents store

Total amount spent: $4.95 plus tax ($5.38 after tax!)

Make sure to get wire garland, that way you don't need to have a base for the wreaths. the wire will give support and structure to your diy wreath.

now, all you have to do is to loop the wire garland into a circle, this will be the base of your wreath. I loop the garland 6 times fyi

***they also have garland at 99 cents store, but they are sort of too flat for my liking. if you don't care, you can def save $3 and go with the ones you find at 99cents! they also have some at walmart for $1.98, but again, they are not as "fluffy". you get what you paid for. lol

then, wrap the wreath base with tinsel! this step is optional. I thought this will add a little something to my wreath so it wouldn't be so plain.. haha

***for the first wreath i made, i noticed the tinsel i picked out from target was too thin, it didn't turn out the way i wanted to, so for this one, i went to 99cents store and picked up another pack of tinsel in gold to work with. it turned out much better! :)

finally, add ornaments of your choice! I picked out these christmas ornament balls at the dollar section at target. I picked out metallic (size: small) and glitter (size: medium) finishes. or you can find ball ornaments at 99 cents store too. i also picked up an artificial poinsettias at 99cents store(6 flowers in total) to add to my wreath.
