DIY Wood Bead Bunny Wreath: A Dollar Tree Spring or Easter Door Hanger

March 17, 2025 by Bre 1 Comment

You can make the cutest DIY wood bead bunny wreath for your spring door decor. Let me show you how!

When wood bead hoops first appeared at Dollar Tree a few years ago, I purchased some without a plan. Typical me – lol.

I stashed them away and finally came up with the PERFECT idea for them: turning them into a DIY wood bead bunny wreath!

Make a DIY wood bead bunny wreath with Dollar Tree craft supplies! This is a great wood bead wreath idea for Easter or spring.

This simple spring door decor is perfect to leave up all the way through Easter! And, it’s a really quick project that’s easy on the wallet, too.

Here’s how you can make your own charming Easter bunny wreath.

How to Make a Wooden Bead Bunny Door Hanger

You’re going to love how easy this Dollar Tree spring craft is!

Start by using the needle nose pliers to take apart one of the wooden bead wreaths.

With that beaded wreath separated, fold it in half, and then bend both ends in toward the center of the beaded strand. This is how you make the bunny ears.

Use the needle nose pliers to bend the end wire pieces outward. Then fasten those ends to the wood bead wreath that’s still together.

Cut a piece of floral wire and wrap it around the center of the ears to attach the ears to the wreath in that center point.

You can also make a loop with the ends of the wire so that you can hang the bunny wreath when it’s complete.

Now, make as simple or as elaborate of a bow as you like!

I cut six pieces of wired ribbon and stacked them on top of one another. Then I twisted floral wire around the center of that stack and cut the ends to make a bow without loops.

Once the bow was complete, I wired it onto the wood bead bunny.

Super simple but super cute! I love it when I find a reason to use supplies I’ve been hoarding for so long.

Dollar Tree Flocked Bunnies: The Cutest 2025 Easter Decorations

March 11, 2025 by Bre 5 Comments

If you’re looking for budget-friendly Easter decoration ideas, here’s a cute way to use the Dollar Tree Plus flocked bunnies this spring.

This post contains affiliate links. For more information, please read my disclosure policy.

I went into Dollar Tree to buy birthday cards and I walked out with three flocked bunnies.

Not on the shopping list! 🙂

But these mossy-look bunnies in the Dollar Tree Plus section were so cute that I had to have them.

They come in three poses and measure 10 inches high, so they’re a perfect size for Easter tablescapes, spring centerpieces, Easter crafts, and just general spring decorating!

And at $3 each, the price is right.

You know I couldn’t leave them as-is, right?

I cut off their tags and raffia bows. Then I cut strips of floral fabric and attached those to the bunnies as prettier ribbons.

I also used Dollar Tree pearls in the center of each bow, which I fastened with straight pins.

I used the flocked bunnies on my dining room table as part of a larger Easter tablescape.

The wood tool tote was a thrift store find that I filled with my Grandma’s brass flower candlestick holders, moss, and faux eggs.

I also used some of my dishes, woven placemats, and baskets to add height and texture to this spring centerpiece.

The Dollar Tree bunnies are the perfect addition. Will you be hunting for them?

DIY Spring Wreath Tutorial: How to Make a Unique Moss Wreath in Minutes!

February 24, 2023 by Bre Leave a Comment

Looking for a unique DIY spring wreath to make? Look no further! This beautiful moss wreath is unlike any other!

My sweet grandma recently moved into a senior apartment complex and we quickly learned that having cute door decor is a MUST. Not only does it create a happy atmosphere, but it’s a great conversation starter, too!

I was glad to create a pretty spring door hanger for her that works for the whole spring season (and also for Easter).

And, I’m willing to bet that this DIY spring wreath idea is different from ones you’ve seen before. Not because it’s a moss wreath, but because it’s a moss purse wreath!

Who knew there was such a thing as a moss purse? Not me until I stumbled upon a shelf of moss purses at Michaels!

Not gonna lie – at first I thought this moss purse form was weird.

But two days later I couldn’t get it out of my mind, so I went back to buy one. And I’m so glad I did because I turned it into the cutest spring wreath! Wait until you see how adorable it is!

DIY Moss Purse Wreath Supplies

These are the supplies I used to make the wreath as shown in this post. Feel free to supplement to make the project your own! Also, some links are affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy for more information.

Moss purse form
Faux flowers (I used a mix of tulips, peonies, and some smaller white flowers)
Plaid wired ribbon
Fabric bunny floral pick
Floral foam
Floral wire
Floral cutters
Scissors
Utility knife

How to Make a Unique DIY Spring Moss Wreath

This pretty wreath comes together in a snap. I think you’ll be surprised how quickly you can make this for your own spring decor!

Floral Foam

The inside of the moss purse is not very large, so begin by cutting a floral foam block into thin pieces, about .25 – .5″ wide.

Then, push the floral foam blocks into the base of the moss purse.

Add Faux Flowers to the Moss Purse

Gather a variety of faux flowers and use floral cutters or diagonals to cut the stems down to the desired size/length.

Push the stems into the floral foam and make sure they’re secure.

To make this spring door hanger, I started by putting the pink and yellow tulips in first. Next, I pushed shorter and fluffier faux peonies in underneath the tulips. This helped hide the plastic lining inside the moss purse. Finally, I added a few stems of small white flowers throughout the arrangement.

Embellish with a Bunny Floral Pick & Ribbon

To make this spring wreath festive for Easter, too, I nestled a bunny floral pick in amongst the flowers. If bunnies aren’t your thing, skip this step or opt for a different type of floral pick!

Then I used wired ribbon to make a bow, and I attached that to the front of the moss form.

Using a little bit of floral wire, I created a hanger on the back handle of the purse so that it could become a wreath.

And that is all it took to make a pretty spring wreath that my grandma will love!

One thing to note: this moss purse is totally freestanding, so you could use this as a pretty Easter centerpiece or spring table decor if you prefer! Also, switch up the flowers and embellishments, and this could be a really pretty bridal shower centerpiece or birthday party decor!

I love how “fancy” it is – just like my grandma! It reminds me of how we used to go shopping together. She LOVES shopping! 🙂

DIY Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor

March 9, 2021 by Bre Leave a Comment

I’ve made a lot of Easter crafts over the years, and they’ve all tended to focus on bunnies and eggs. Now I’m in an Easter carrot decor phase. (It’s a real thing.)

Last year’s Easter craft post was this Carrot Door Hanger, and this year it’s all about the carrots, too.

You’d think that I love to eat carrots. They’re okay, but not my fave.

This post contains affiliate links. Click to read my full disclosure policy.

Anyway . . . what I I do love is Dollar Tree jute carrots. Dollar Tree has had these 6-packs of cute twine-wrapped carrots the past couple of years, and I don’t see them going away anytime soon.

I used them, along with other items I picked up at Dollar Tree, to make some Easter carrot decor – a cute U-Pick Carrot Patch Pot!

This little carrot Easter craft is perfect to display on a mantel, on styled shelves, or on a tiered tray. There are so many ways to use it!

Before I jump in to the tutorial on how to make this Dollar Tree Easter carrot craft, you should know that I sponge painted the terracotta pot to give it an aged finish with paint.

I think that adds to the charm of this project, but you don’t have to age your flower pot. If you do want to make it look old, just click that link to get my tutorial on how to age flower pots with paint.

These are the supplies I used to make this Easter carrot craft. Feel free to modify these items to personalize this project!

Please note that while I purchased all of these items at Dollar Tree, I have linked to some items from other retailers, as Dollar Tree’s minimum order quantities do not make sense for linking! (For example, you do not need 36 packages of 500 count toothpicks to make this project!)

Make this darling DIY Easter Carrot Decor craft project, and add a sweet touch to your spring home decor look! This project uses Dollar Tree craft supplies to make the cutest carrot patch around.

Materials

Terracotta pot
Dollar Tree Jute Carrots
Floral foam
Toothpicks
Moss
Hot glue and glue gun
Popsicle sticks
Marker
Optional: paint

Instructions

If you'd like the terracotta pot to look old as mine does, begin by sponge painting the terracotta pot as I show in the linked tutorial. If you do not wish to age the terracotta pot, proceed to the next step.
Fill the flower pot with floral foam.
Next, insert toothpicks into the bottoms of each of the jute carrots.
Then insert the carrots into the floral foam, which is already in the terracotta pot.
Now, cut the ends off of one or two popsicle sticks.
Using a marker, write a word on the non-rounded pieces of popsicle stick. I wrote "U-Pick" on one, and "10 cents ea." on the other. Use a black marker to add highlighting, if desired.
Next, hot glue those popsicle stick pieces to another, full popsicle stick. I glued mine together slightly askew on purpose; I wanted it to look like a farmstand sign you'd see at a cute country store.
Press the popsicle stick sign into the floral foam, with the carrots.
For the finishing touch, hot glue craft moss all over the floral foam.
With that, your Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor craft is complete!

DIY Spring Door Hanger: Adorable Carrot Door Decor

March 5, 2020 by Bre Leave a Comment

Want to make the cutest DIY spring door hanger for your front door? This adorable carrot door decor is it!

Have you gotten the spring decorating bug yet? It hasn’t hit for me, but I am feeling excited that spring will officially be here soon!

My crafty thoughts have turned to spring, and that’s why I just loved making this cute Carrot Door Hanger!

Before we go any further, I have a confession. “Carrot” is a word that I ALWAYS struggle to spell! “Are there two ‘r’s’, two ‘t’s’. . . two of both?” The struggle is real, my friends!

Alright now that you know I might not be the winner of the school spelling bee, let’s get down to business! I will show you how to transform a plain wood carrot cutout into this cute piece of spring decor!

(And if you just happen to LOVE carrots, check out this adorable DIY Easter Carrot Decor project you can make when you finish this one!)

Supplies Needed to Make a Carrot DIY Spring Door Hanger

I will show you what I used to make this project. I purchased everything in-store at Michaels, but I’ve linked to similar products on Amazon if you prefer to shop online. Some of these links are affiliate links, and you can learn more about those in my disclosure statement.

Unfinished wood carrot cutout
“Welcome” or “hello” word unfinished wood cutout (or wood craft letters)
Scrapbook paper (orange pattern and green pattern)
Mod Podge decoupage medium in matte finish
White craft paint
Small artist brush
Foam brush
Craft ribbon in a variety of patterns and colors
Scissors
Craft knife
Hot glue gun
Optional: brayer, fine grit sandpaper, hanging twine

Instructions for Making a Spring Door Hanger

This little carrot door decor project comes together really quickly, and the best part of it is that you can apply the techniques used here to lots of different projects going forward!

Start by spreading a thin layer of Mod Podge on the bottom part (the orange part) of the unfinished wood carrot.

Then, press the orange scrapbook paper onto the Mod Podge. If you have a brayer, use it to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles in the scrapbook paper.

If you don’t have a brayer, you can gently smooth out the paper with your hands.

Let the Mod Podge dry for about 20 minutes. When the paper feels like it is attached to the wooden carrot, flip it over and use the craft knife to cut the excess scrapbook paper from the outer edge of the carrot.

Flip it over and repeat this process with the green scrapbook paper on the top of the unfinished wood carrot. This will look like the carrot stem.

After the base layer of Mod Podge has dried, spread a thin layer of Mod Podge all over the top of the carrot.

Let it dry for at least twenty minutes. Once the Mod Podge is dry, lightly sand along the edges of the carrot to remove any pieces of scrapbook paper that didn’t get cut off with the craft knife.

Then, to add a little depth to the project, dry brush a little white craft paint along the edges of the carrot.

While you have the white paint out, dry brush a little on the “Welcome” word, and then hot glue that to the carrot.

Next, cut pieces of varying ribbon and tie them into a knot. Then, hot glue them onto the carrot where the orange part meets the green.

And with that, your adorable DIY spring door hanger / carrot door hanger is finished!

(NOTE: If you purchase a different wood carrot cutout than I purchased, you may need to add a hanger to the back. Simply staple or hot glue a looped piece of twine to the back!)

Hang it on your door alone, or add it to another wreath (like a plain greenery wreath) for a darling spring touch!

I gave this carrot wreath to my mother-in-law, but I think I might need to make another one for myself!

Dollar Tree Easter Craft: DIY Bunny Planters

April 1, 2019 by Bre 2 Comments

This adorable Dollar Tree Easter craft is easy to make! Display this DIY bunny planter all spring long.

Sometimes life gets in the way of creative time, and that has definitely been the case for me recently! I finally made it a priority over the weekend, and just LOVE this Dollar Tree Easter craft I whipped up: these darling DIY Bunny Planters!

They are a speedy project, which is great when you don’t have a lot of leisure time. Plus, they add a cute touch to your spring and Easter decor.

Supplies Needed to Make DIY Bunny Planters

This post contains affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy for more information.

Small white planters (originally purchased at Dollar Tree, but they don’t have them currently. You could also purchase terracotta pots and paint them white.)
Hot Pink multi-surface acrylic paint
Gray multi-surface acrylic paint
Small paint brush
Floral moss
Faux succulents
White felt
Pink felt
Fabric scissors
Multi-surface glue, like E6000 brand
Clothespins or craft clamps
Optional: bunny ear templates that you draw onto paper or card stock

Dollar Tree Easter Craft How-To: Instructions for Making DIY Bunny Planters

I started with the cutest little white planters that I got at Dollar Tree. I just love them with their facets and iridescent shimmer! They came in other colors, too, like pink and turquoise, but I think white is best for this project. (Update: I don’t think Dollar Tree carries these anymore, but you could paint a flower pot white to make this craft or use a small white planter like this!)

Step One: Paint a Nose and Whiskers

I used a small paint brush to paint a pink nose and gray whiskers onto the planter. I used multi-surface acrylic paint to make sure it adheres well!

If you don’t want the mess of paint and a paint brush, you could also use oil-based Sharpie markers. I love those things!

Step Two: Make a Bunny Ears Template

Next, I drew bunny ear templates onto scrap cardstock and cut those out. I drew a large ear and a smaller ear.

Step Three: Create the Bunny Ears

Then, I used the larger ear template to cut out two white felt ears.

I used the smaller template to cut out two pink felt ears.

I didn’t draw on the felt – I just held the templates in place and carefully cut around them.

Then, I glued one pink felt ear onto each white felt ear.

Step Four: Attach the Ears to the Planter

Next, I placed a thin line of multi-surface E6000 glue around the inner rim of the planter.

I pressed the ears onto the glue, and held them in place temporarily with clothespins. Once the glue hardened, I removed the clothespins.

Step Five: Fill the Planter

I filled the planter with craft moss to help hold the faux succulent in place. This stuff makes a mess, so have your broom or dust buster ready! 😉

And for the final touch, I placed a faux succulent into the planter.

These little bunny planters make me so happy; I think they’re just darling! They are a great spring or Easter craft project, and make for a sweet Easter hostess gift or addition to your spring decor!

If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love for you to pin this Dollar Tree Easter craft project to Pinterest and help spread the love!
