November 15, 2017 by Bre 2 Comments

Make a charming DIY Christmas Cloche with Dollar Tree supplies!

I hope you all will forgive me for posting about Christmas before Thanksgiving, but listen . . . if you’re going to do any Christmas crafts, now’s the time to get started! 

So here we go – my first Christmas-related post of the season . . . and it’s a cute one!  Run over to Dollar Tree to pick up the essential supplies for this project and get to work making a beautiful Dollar Store Christmas Cloche for your Christmas decor!  

Christmas cloches filled with holiday miniatures have been a Pinterest staple for years, but this simple version is probably the most budget-friendly one around!

How to Make a Dollar Tree Christmas Cloche

Guys, this project will take you all of ten minutes to make.  TEN MINUTES!  I promise. 

I whipped this up right before I had to go volunteer at my kids’ school library (I’m getting real friendly with the Dewey Decimal System, friends!) – easiest project ever!

Begin by spraying one side of the foam disc with spray adhesive.

Then press some fake snow onto that disc.

Next, cut two strips of 12″ woodgrain scrapbook paper or the woodgrain shelf liner available at Dollar Tree to be a little wider than the edge of your disc. 

(If you happen to have woodgrain paper that is longer than traditional 12″ scrapbook paper, you may only need to cut one strip of paper.)

Fire up that hot glue gun and wrap the woodgrain paper around the edge of the foam disc.  Make the top edge of the paper flush with the edge of the foam disc that has the fake snow on it.

Then flip the disc over and trim the excess scrapbook paper from around the bottom edge of the foam disc.

(If you used the woodgrain adhesive shelf liner, you won’t need to use the hot glue gun. You could just stick the shelf liner to the foam disc.)

Hot glue the ornament or miniature building to the foam disc (snowy side), and place the cylinder vase on top. 

That’s all you need to make a cute Christmas Cloche for your holiday decor!

I paired my cloche with adorable white ceramic houses.

I just love the simplicity of these little houses.  (My kids asked me 89348 times if they could paint them.  NO.  No, you may not paint my little white houses!)

This simple look is perfect for Christmas decor, or to be left out all winter.  Make sure to “pin it” so you’ll remember to make this for your seasonal decor!

      Hi, Norma! Thank you! I’m sorry for the late reply to your comment. I have been bogged down ever since preparing for Thanksgiving! Anyway, I appreciate it and I hope you are well. 🙂
