DIY The Coziest Fall Wreath With An Old Sweater & A Few Dollar Tree Essentials

With autumn well underway and a chill in the air, it's the perfect time for cozy décor, and this is one adorable Dollar Tree DIY that will get your home ready for fall. By upcycling an old sweater, you can craft the cutest door décor with Dollar Tree's pumpkin wreath form. Covering the wire form with the sweater creates a gorgeous, farmhouse chic base for your decoration that can be further decorated with fall themes. You might use Dollar Tree florals, ribbons, cord, and even decorative signs to get the perfect look while keeping this a low-cost DIY. If your local store doesn't happen to have any of the pumpkin-shape forms in stock, Walmart has the Hobeauty wire pumpkin wreath for just under $5.

While any old sweater you don't wear anymore will work great for this project, white fabrics leave room for colorful additions to your wreath that'll make it pop. Otherwise, a light brown would look nice, though you could opt for orange or other autumn hues. For those that don't have any worn-out sweaters, thrift stores are a great option for keeping this DIY budget-friendly. Additionally, if you have a sweater with some holes or stains, it could still be useful for your wreath as long as there's a good section that is large enough to cover the front. Now, you can turn Dollar Tree items into the DIY fall wreath of your dreams and really embrace the aesthetic of sweater weather.

Place your wreath inside the sweater to line up your design, adjusting the fabric to the perfect position. Make a small hole in the fabric for the pumpkin's stem to poke through and start hot-gluing your fabric into place at the top of the form. Continue gluing the fabric to the wire, stretching the sweater over the back of the form and cutting off any extra material as you're working. Ensure that the sweater is completely glued in place and won't shift before adding other elements. If you'd prefer that the entire wreath is covered with the fabric, try gluing a cut-out section of the sweater to the back and then another to the front. Once the base is done, personalize your pumpkin.

While you might use a piece of the sweater's sleeve to cover the pumpkin's stem, Dollar Tree's burlap ribbon or craft rope would look adorable. If you'd like to have curly vines coming out near the stem, the wired jute cord can be wrapped around a pencil to get the shape, then attached to the base of the stem. Now, you might use bows or faux flowers and greenery to adorn the top of your pumpkin wreath. For a simplistically beautiful look, try using the Crafter's Square burlap leaves. A wide ribbon could also be tied around the center of your pumpkin. With this Dollar Tree DIY, decorating your front porch for fall will be easy.
