Decor on a Dime: Spring wreath tutorial

I saw this wreath in Michael’s and fell in love with the greens and yellows!  It was so springy but also could easily transition into summer as well.    (Wouldn’t these colors make a gorgeous spring/summer wedding?)
101_3311
But I was not loving the price tag!!!
101_3312
I have always made wreaths for my doors (I usually use a Michael’s wreath for my inspiration!) and I knew I could re-create this one as well.  I already had bought the grapevine wreath at Goodwill for $2.00 but you can buy them for $4-5.00 at any craft store.
101_3290





Here are the flowers I bought.  All of the bunches came to $21.95 but they were 50% off, so I paid $10.98!
101_3291








Now, for how to assemble it.  You will need wire cutters or a small floral cutter (you can find them at the Dollar Store or craft stoe) to cut the flower stems from the bunch.  You will want to leave as much stem as possible and push any leaves on the stem up to the flower
I do not glue my flowers into the wreath so that I can remove them (when they become faded and dated) and reuse the wreath later or re-arrange them later.  I find that you can usually secure them pretty well just by sticking them among all the grapevines. 
I first stuck in my roses which were to be my main focal point.  Then added the small green hydrangea flowers next to them.
101_3295








Then I just filled in the rest of the wreath using the gerber daisies, greenery, and smaller flowers that were in the bunches.  There is no wrong way to do this!
101_3297








And I thought I was finished!  Here it is all hung up on my door.  I wasn’t liking the fact that all the flowers were “too close” to the wreath and didn’t have a natural look to them.  I went back to Michael’s to take a picture for this post and realized what I was missing.
101_3304
First, I pulled some of the flowers away from the wreath, sticking out more.  And I removed some flowers as it was too cluttered looking.  Then I dug around in my fake flower stash and found a yellow straw-looking bush and cut it apart and added it.   And moved some of the smaller yellow and white flowers to help cover the “bare” part of the wreath and make it look more natural.
Now, I am finished!   101_3352
----------------------------
Michael’s wreath – pricetag $69.99!!  Even 1/2 off it would have cost $35.00!
101_3311
My wreath – cost $10.98 for the flowers + wreath and a few extra flowers I already had.
101_3352
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I have challenged you to try to make a wreath of your own.  The next time you are at Michael’s or another craft store pick out your favorite and try it!
---------------
Have you ever made a wreath for your door?  Or maybe you prefer another type of decor for your door.  I would love to see your pictures!  I am trying out the new picture Linky so post your link and add a picture so we can all come see!

Dollar Store Décor

Decor on a Dime button
I have been seeing all over DIY/ blogland all the great deals people have been getting at the Dollar Tree so I decided to check it out myself. 

101_3369

Here is what I found all for $1.00 each!!

New glass cylinders – I have been searching for more of these for my dining room table centerpiece at Goodwill but haven’t found any of late.  Now I just need some small and large ones because I got the medium ones NEW for $1.00!

A small metal planter – I have bought some of the small houseplants from IKEA and need some small planters to put them.  This will get spray painted. :)

A cute little ceramic bird for my spring-time decor.

101_3367

I am leaving mine as is for now.  (Although I am thinking of going back for a few more!)  But I have seen them spray painted white and silver in blogland.

Here is what Sarah @ Thrifty Decor Chick did with her Dollar store birds:

101_3365

I also liked this little “architectural piece.”  I don’t have many pieces like this in my house and have made myself look for things like this that can be added to small arrangements of items on a mantel or shelf for visual interest.

And a bag of moss.  I hope to make a topiary soon and need this for the base.

--------

I enjoyed my trip to the Dollar Store and think I found some good things!  So head out to your Dollar Store and see what you can find!  I would love for you to come back and comment on what you find.

FREE Betty Crocker potatoes at Kroger

 pouch

There is a catalina running at Kroger right now on Betty Crocker potatoes.  (A catalina is the coupon that prints from the little coupon printer at the register at various store.)

The deal goes from now through April 18 and items must be purchased in the same transaction to count:

Buy 1 Betty Crocker Pouch Potatoes, get $0.50 catalina back
Buy 2 Betty Crocker Pouch Potatoes, get $1.00 catalina back
Buy 3 Betty Crocker Pouch Potatoes, get $3.00 catalina back


You will only get $3.00 for every 3 OR MORE that you buy, so I would only buy 3 in each transaction. 

The pouches were priced $1.09 at my store.  So I would pay $3.27 for 3 (without using any coupons) and then get back $3.00!!

Here’s how to make this deal a moneymaker:

Buy 3 Betty Crocker Pouch Potatoes
Use (3) $0.40/1 coupons printable coupons from HERE, HERE, HERE, or HERE
or use $1.00/2 or $0.25/1 coupon from 3/28 SS.
You will pay less than a $1.00 and get back a $3.00 catalina!!! 

The best part is this deal is rolling, meaning you can use the catalina to buy more potatoes and another catalina should print!
