DIY Rainbow Room Decor (from a Dollar Tree Napkin Holder!)

Unfortunately for me, there aren’t many Dollar Tree stores near my new house.  (I had five within a mile of my old house – see more of my love for Dollar Tree in my post sharing my favorite dollar store home decorating ideas!)  I visited one nearby last week and didn’t find much except for some metal napkin holders.

Transform Dollar Tree metal napkin holders into adorable DIY Rainbow Room Decor!

I bought three and planned to use them to hold clutch purses in my closet, but then after looking at them, I knew I had to turn one into a rainbow craft instead.  I mean, just look at them!  They practically scream “make me into a rainbow!”  (Right? You see that, don’t you?)

So . . . I got to work and created some adorable DIY Rainbow Room Decor with one of the napkin holders, and left one of my clutch purses alone on the shelf while the others got a new home in the remaining two napkin holders.  Learn how to transform a Dollar Tree napkin holder into an adorable piece of rainbow room decor! This is a cute St. Patrick's Day rainbow craft, too!

Supplies Needed to Make This Rainbow Decor Craft

  • Dollar Tree metal napkin holder
  • Thin ribbon in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue
  • White yarn pom poms

How to Make DIY Rainbow Room Decor

You’re going to love how quickly this colorful rainbow decor craft comes together!

Begin by cutting ribbon in rainbow colors to lengths that measure approximately 16″.  To make a DIY rainbow sculpture, cut lengths of rainbow ribbon.

Next, tie the ribbon pieces together in rainbow color order to form one long length of ribbon.  Tie the ribbon together to create one long ribbon used to create a DIY rainbow ribbon sculpture.

Beginning with the red end of the ribbon length, tie the end to the back of the metal napkin holder.  Wrap the ribbon around the napkin holder to create the DIY rainbow room decoration.

Plug in the hot glue gun, and while it’s heating, begin wrapping the rainbow ribbon around the napkin holder.  (Yikes, can I just say that my thumb looks really gross there?)

  Keep wrapping ribbon around the metal napkin holder. 

Continue wrapping the ribbon around the napkin holder, and fasten it in place as you go with the hot glue.  Once the entire napkin holder is wrapped in ribbon, cut the ends of the ribbon where the pieces were attached to create the long string.

  Make sure to add dots of hot glue to the ribbon as you wrap it around the metal napkin holder.  

Finally, hot glue white yarn pom poms to the bottom of the rainbow sculpture to create adorable clouds on your rainbow room decor.  Hot glue white pom poms to the bottom of the rainbow decor to create clouds.

If you wanted to make this rainbow room decor a cute addition to your St. Patrick’s Day decor, you could easily swap the white pom poms for gold coins or a shamrock from the craft store.  How cute would that be?

CUTE! See how she transformed a Dollar Tree napkin holder into darling DIY rainbow room decor! This rainbow decor looks super cute on a shelf or when displayed as part of a St. Patrick's Day celebration.

This adorable piece of rainbow decor sits nicely on a shelf and adds a colorful pop to any room (kids’ bedrooms, especially), or to any St. Patrick’s Day decorations!  Make sure to PIN it or share it with any crafty friends who might enjoy making one of their own!

Make the cutest rainbow decor craft with a napkin holder from Dollar Tree! You won't believe how easy this rainbow craft is. Cute for kids' room decor or St. Patrick's Day decorations!
