$5, 5-Minute Craft: Easy St. Patrick’s Day Wreath

You know what the best kind of crafts are? Cheap and easy ones.

This craft couldn’t get any cheaper or easier. I made it for $5 using products from Dollar General. It took me five minutes (tops) to make the whole thing, from start to finish. This easy St. Patrick’s Day wreath can dress up your front door or hang inside the house. Either way, it’s cute, doesn’t take any time to make, and is an easy way to dress up the house a bit for St. Patrick’s Day.

{Random side note…I don’t do much for St. Patrick’s Day. I am still feeling the effects of Christmas, and New Year’s, and Valentine’s Day…getting this wreath done is a huge deal for me!}

Here’s what you need to make it (my mom actually made one of these for Valentine’s Day…she picked up these items for me at Dollar General so I could make one, too!):

• Three scarves ($1 each at Dollar General)
• One wire wreath frame (14″, also $1)
• Ribbon

That’s it – five simple items!

The best part is, you can easily remove the scarves and ribbon and reuse the frame for every holiday. SO EASY, y’all.

Here’s how to make it.

Grab a scarf and tie it around the wire frame.Move the knot to the back of the frame so you can’t see it from the front. 

Wrap the scarf around the frame until you reach the end of the scarf. At this point, tie the next scarf to it and keep going. Position the knot so it’s behind the frame. 

Repeat with the last scarf.

When you get to the end, tie the end of the last scarf around the first scarf, also in the back of the frame (where you started).

Add a big ribbon with a bow, and VOILA. You. Are. Done.

Hopefully, you have better bow-tying skills than I do. I legit cannot tie a pretty bow to save my life. Clearly.

Switch out the scarves and ribbon each holiday for an easy update to your home or seasonal decor (honestly, I can’t get it together enough to have seasonal decor…I barely have normal decor…but in theory, I would love to decorate for the seasons).
