Make Your Own $6 Berry Wreath

By 24 Comments

I always loved those cute berry wreaths, but like many other things I thought “I can make that.” So when I found stems of purple and white berries at the Dollar Tree, I had to do it, and I love it! Behold the $6 Spring Berry Wreath.

Items needed:

  • 5 Stems of Berries in various colors ($1 each, I had 2 purple & 3 white)
  • Small Grapevine wreath (50 cents at the thrift store, stash busting again)
  • Ribbon Scrap (on hand)
  • Wire cutters (on hand)

1. Start by cutting each little group of berries off the stem, leaving the stick long. I left the leaves on the purple and pulled them off the white. I wanted a little green, but not too much.
2. Start spacing your dominant color and attach by winding the wire stem through the wreath. If you want it more secure you can hot glue.

3. Continue placing the stems, alternating colors until the wreath is full.

4. Attach a coordinating ribbon to the grapevine on the back and tie in to a bow to hang. I adore this sparkly paisley ribbon from Michael’s!

5. Enjoy your new wreath that cost $6 and took 15 minutes! It rounds out my $5 Spring Porch Decor just perfectly! Hello $11 makeover.


Plain & Boring…Springified

I am giving you fair warning about these rogue berries that will inevitably fall off and get everywhere. They are the perfect size for little nostrils. They made their way in to my little guys like three times before I got them all cleaned up and thrown away. Luckily they are shot out easily by plugging the other nostril and blowing. Get rid of them ASAP!

  4. I really like this wreath…darn the fact that mine wouldn’t turn out as cute. Another disclaimer on the warning: If something does get lodged and you have to go to the instacare…the cost is $300 for the instrament they use to get it out, thank goodness for insurance, but still…crazy!

  9. Love the wreath! I almost stopped at Dollar Tree today but I will definitely go there tomorrow. Thanks for the idea!

    The end of your post cracked me up! I don’t have kids but I’m sure my dog would end up eating some of the berries.

  11. How pretty! One of these would cost $20 or $30 if you bought it at a store, but you did it for so cheap! My Dollar Store didn’t have those flowers, but I’ll have to keep looking…
