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!

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.

Dollar Tree wood bead wreaths can be turned into the cutest spring door decor. Bend one of the wreaths into the shape of 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.

Use wood bead wreaths or wood bead hoops to make a beautiful DIY easter bunny wreath for spring.

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.

Use floral wire to attach the wood bead hoops together to create an Easter bunny wreath.

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.

by 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.

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.

Dollar Tree flocked bunnies are the perfect addition to your Easter tablescape or spring centerpiece. Read this post to see how this blogger used them in her spring decorating.

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.

Dollar Tree flocked bunnies are one of the cutest Dollar Tree Easter decorations in 2025. Give them a makeover and use them in your spring decor.

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

Dollar Tree Plus flocked bunnies are so cute on an Easter tablescape. This spring centerpiece with moss bunnies is also filled with thrifted items to make beautiful Easter table decor.

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

This dining room Easter display is filled with thrifted finds like a wood tool caddy centerpiece that has brass flower candlestick holders, and green flocked bunnies.

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

A thrifted wood toolbox or tool caddy gets new life as a table centerpiece for spring. Filled with moss, artificial eggs, brass candlestick holders, and a gingham ribbon, it's an adorable thrifted tablescape.

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?

How to Make a DIY Picture Frame Flower Box as a Mother’s Day DIY Gift

Start by removing the stand or flap on the back of each frame.

Remove the flaps from Dollar Tree frames to create a picture frame flower box craft.

Then, hot glue one of the frames to the front of the wood box. If you buy the same box I used, they come in a set of three (like nesting boxes), and you’ll use the largest of the three boxes.

Glue picture frames to a wood box to create a photo frame flower box.

Next, glue a frame to the outside edge of that first frame. This second frame will not touch the wood box (if you’re using the same box I did). None of the other frames will touch that box – just the first frame!

Glue wood bead picture frames from Dollar Tree to create a sentimental Mother's Day gift DIY.

Continue gluing the frames together until you’ve formed a cube.

Create a photo cube with four Dollar Tree picture frames.

Now you can insert some special photos, and then – if you’re extra – glue a lazy susan or turntable to the bottom so that it can spin. Mom will love turning her photo cube planter to see the special photos!

Want to see it spin? Check it out in this Instagram Reel!

Finally, place the vase into the wood box.

Fill it with flowers and present this as a beautiful and sentimental Mother’s Day gift!

Use Dollar Tree picture frames to create this Mother's Day gift DIY! It's a beautiful picture frame flower box vase that mom will love.

I also think photo flower boxes like this could be beautiful centerpieces at things like bridal showers, weddings, milestone birthday parties, and more!

As soon as I saw some adorable vertical signs with star cutouts at Dollar Tree, I knew I had to turn them into firecracker decorations for my Fourth of July decor. I could see them looking perfect with my Dollar Tree DIY Fourth of July Wreath!

The signs are sturdy and well-made, so they’re the perfect base for a lasting holiday decor piece.

Let me show you how to make your own patriotic firecracker decor with Dollar Tree supplies – you’re going to love this!

DIY Firecracker Decor Supplies

These are the supplies I used to make the firecrackers as shown in this post. Feel free to substitute items to personalize this project however you like!

Dollar Tree DIY Fourth of July Decor Instructions

First things first, if you make this I recommend doing something I did not do: fill the holes at the top of the signs once you remove the twine hangers. I should have done that!

Once the wood filler is dry, use a craft knife and a ruler to cut two of the vertical signs at the base. You’ll want to have each of the signs be a different height.

Dollar Tree vertical signs with star cutouts are the perfect base to make DIY firecracker decorations for the Fourth of July.

Next, paint these bad boys.

I taped them off so that I could paint the tops blue and the bottoms red.

Once that paint dried, I added polka dot detailing to the bottoms of two of the firecrackers with a foam dauber. I taped off the center of the other firecracker so that I could paint a stripe.

Dollar Tree star cutout signs are the perfect base for DIY firecracker decor.

To add dimension to this firecracker display, I hot glued game pieces from Dollar Tree’s version of Jenga along the edge of two of the firecrackers, and then glued the firecrackers on top of one another.

Use Dollar Tree Jenga wood blocks to make space between the firecrackers.

This helped separate the firecrackers from one another and gave the decor more of a 3D look.

I wrapped silver pipe cleaners around my fingers and glued those to the top of each firecracker, because obviously these needed wicks!

Pipe cleaners serve as wicks on these festive Fourth of July firecracker decorations.

And finally, I tied them all together in a cute little firecracker bundle with some extra-wide burlap ribbon. (Don’t worry – I made sure to bush off all of the pipe cleaner and ribbon debris you see in this picture!)

Tie the firecrackers together with burlap ribbon to create a cute Fourth of July decoration.

The Finished DIY Firecracker Decorations

And with that, these patriotic firecracker decorations were ready to go on display! First I tried them outdoors . . .
