Create A Stylish Tropical Wreath For Your Front Door Using Dollar Tree Products

There are a lot of ways to decorate your home like a tropical resort, and one of the easiest involves transforming Dollar Tree's basic craft supplies into a vibrant tropical wreath that brings island vibes to any doorway. This budget-friendly project starts with three key elements: the 10-inch green foam floral ring, Floral Garden pearl beads, and the 42-inch flower leis. The ring will provide a sturdy foundation, while the leis provide a beautiful plumeria flower look. The pearl beads are used to add a contrast to the vibrant colors, and they'll mimic dewdrops on tropical plants.

Beyond front doors, this wreath will work beautifully on patio walls, balcony railings, or as a simple wall accent to help turn your bathroom into a tropical oasis. The synthetic materials hold up well in humid conditions that would normally wilt real flowers. With just a bit of glue, you'll be crafting tropical wreaths for every corner of your home in under an hour. They can also be used as easy gifts that end up looking far more expensive than their dollar store origins.

There are two ways you could go about beginning the tropical wreath craft designed by Dave's Wreaths and Things: one is to simply wrap the floral leis, untouched, around the ring, gluing it down along the way and making sure to cover up any visible foam. The second way would be to carefully turn the leis into a garland string by removing the plastic straws in between and gluing the back of one flower and the front of another before cutting the string. This will let you have more control over the final look of your wreath. These longer garland strands can be more versatile when wrapping. Next, weave the different colored leis around the foam and add a little glue as you go for stability.

Once completed, place the pearl beads strategically throughout the flowers, securing them with dots of hot glue. Those are the basic steps, but you can easily customize it with other Dollar Tree finds. Add faux monstera leaves for extra contrast, or use tropical cutouts for a playful touch. For coastal vibes, mix in tiny starfish or seashells from the craft aisle. You can use season-specific items to make a DIY Easter bunny wreath or faux leaves for that fall look. Also, replacing the foam base with a metal ring will help add some stability and weight. Finally, finish any variation with a satin ribbon bow for a polished presentation.
