Pinwheel Wreath; dollar store style

Ladies and Gents, be prepared to be shocked.

I made another Dollar Store Wreath. {I have a thing for wreaths.}

Yup. I did. And this time it’s a Pinwheel Wreath for the Spring and Summer! Yippie!

Make a pinwheel wreath from dollar store items for less than $10! Tutorial and video supplement at www.houseofhepworths.com

Are those pinwheels not just the most freaking cute thing you’ve ever seen?

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_18

I found these Pinwheels at the Dollar Tree. They were just so mini and adorable that I just had to create a project to use them for.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_01

After a little more browsing, brain-racking, and scheming I finally came up with a great wreath idea.

On that same trip I also purchased some floral grass and a small wreath form.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_02

I promptly pulled all the grass off the stems…

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_03

And then I dug through my scraps and wrapped the wreath in some burlap. You can wrap the wreath in pretty much whatever you want. You are just creating a flat surface for your fixin’s to glue onto.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_04

First things first, you have to attach the grass to the wreath.

To do so, take each sprig of grass and pull the floral tape off it.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_07

Now flatten each sprig in between your fingers. From here, just add hot glue (carefully!) to it, then attach it to the wreath.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_08

Not hard at all, it just takes patience.

Now, in a spiral motion, work your way around the wreath gluing all the grass on.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_06

I’ve created a video to help explain the grass and gluing technique. Enjoy!

Once all the grass was attached, I simply popped the pinwheels off their stems and hot glued them to the front of the wreath.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_12

I love how bright and cheerful the pinwheels are.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_15

And I really love that they look like they are floating in a field of tall grass.

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_13

When the wind blows the grass sways and the pinwheels spin. It is so fun to watch!

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_16

There you have it, my friends; an inexpensive easy way to make your own fun Spring/Summer wreath!

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_14

Cost breakdown:
3 packs pinwheels: $3
1 wreath form: $1
4 grass stems: $4
burlap: free
TOTAL COST: $8!

Eight Bucks for an adorable fun summer wreath. Can’t beat that!

Pinwheel_Wreath_HoH_18

If you decide to make one, I’d LOVE to see it!

    Love it Allison. The pinwheels are adorable period, BUT using that grass was just fantastic. It gives it such much drama, and I can so see it blowing in the wind, he he.

    I’ve added this to my pinterest board, can’t wait to try it.

    Hugs, Bella πŸ™‚

      I hung it with some wire I wound into a circle and hot glued to the back of the wreath. You can see this post to get a visual of exactly how I attach the wire: https://www.houseofhepworths.com/2011/04/15/a-big-chunky-plumpy-funky-somethin-somethin-wreath-coffee-filter-wreath/

    How clever! I have tons of that artificial bear grass, I didn’t know what to do with them. Thanks for such a great idea to “open it up” and put around the wreath!!!
    Also…happy birthday! You are so talented and have so many ideas! Thanks for inspiring people like me.

    Sheese! The nerve of some people. Think before you speak, or this instance…comment. “Ugly thoughts make Ugly people”…I happen to think this project is cute! I could have totally used this idea when I threw a surprise Luau party for my husband. Thanks for sharing Alison.

    I think this wreath is so neat! I’m going to try it but I think instead of pinwheel’s I’m going to try luau leis or flowers.

    I also saw your FB comment about negative comments (I’m a follower of course)….and I’d love to have your “ugly dollar store wreath” at my DIY Thrifty Thursday link party at http://www.thrifty101.blogspot.com. πŸ™‚ Some people….right? lol
