Turn Dollar Tree Items Into The DIY Boho-Chic Fall Wreath Of Your Dreams
Do you remember that box of Halloween decor that would come down every year to fill your home with seasonal vibes, but the collection never seemed to change or grow? Thanks to the internet, gone are those tattered boxes of black and orange plastic pieces, so stuck in their traditional designs that spooky season began to lose its luster. Now, you can create decor for less than $20, and more often than not, your receipt will show even less than that when you shop and design crafts from Dollar Tree! Fall and autumn wreaths can be quite expensive, costing upwards of $100 in big brand stores and even your local home goods shops. Rather than dropping money to upgrade your front door wreath, why not make your own with a few supplies? All you need for a chic, Boho Halloween design (which is trending big-time at the minute) are a few springs of Pampas grass, a wreath form, and a few extra faux foliage pieces to create the door decor of your dreams.
Wreaths are one of the fall decor items people can't live without, and making your own is a great way to ensure you have an option for every season! You can get as excessive as you want or lean into the simpler designs you might have seen in store-bought versions. How you design this is up to you, but to nail the Boho trend, it's essential to use Pampas grass for your wreath to pull through the bohemian vibes. Dollar Tree has three colors: pink, beige, and grey. Your local store may have all the colors, or you can choose whatever is available.
Upgrade with holiday decor and essential oils
Each color can work for this trend, and all three are easy to use in an autumn/winter design. Depending on which color you opt for, head to the floral section of Dollar Tree and look for plants that complement or match your Pampas strands. Neutrals will ensure you can use this wreath during any season, and to offset the pink, look for browns, sage greens, and even gold eucalyptus or foliage if you want to lean into the Boho aesthetic. The grey and beige are simple to match, and you can even use pops of red or orange if you want a more fall-themed wreath. Once you have enough faux florals to fill the wreath form, start lacing them through, filling any gaps so the wreath doesn't seem sparse.
Use zip ties and hot glue to secure all your pieces, overlapping where necessary to hide these. If you want a more Halloween-heavy wreath that still leans into the Boho vibe, why not add some white pumpkins, neutral berries, white plastic ghosts, or even black plastic bats for a moody finish? You can also include twinkle lights around the wreath; just make sure to purchase a battery pack version so you can glue this to the back of the wreath form and not have to worry about wires! Once your wreath is complete, why not display it on your mantle or other fun spots throughout your home to switch up the traditional front door decor, too? If you do keep yours indoors, add essential oils and water to a spray bottle, spray your wreath, and enjoy it as an elevated air freshener that will make your home smell divine!
