Everyone enjoys a good dollar store project, right? I know I do! I love going up and down the aisles in my local Dollar Tree looking at all the new stuff and coming up with ways to use the $1 items to create something new and wonderful for holiday decorating. I mean, you can’t beat the price! Which leads to today’s Dollar Store Halloween Wreath.
This month I am joining the DIY Dollar Store challenge and the theme is Halloween. When I went into the Dollar Tree, I had no idea what I would make. I just told myself that I would look at all of the Halloween stuff and it would come to me. But I admit that I was thinking “wreath” since this Fall Wreath I made with items from the dollar store was so popular.
Here’s what I ended up getting:
- wreath form
- black and silver garland
- plastic bow
- skeleton garland
What I used from my stash:
- straight pins
- wire
- hot glue
- “boo” tag
- ribbons
If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen the video where I made the tag shown above. It’s made with a small wooden tag and Chalk Couture products.
Here is how I made the wreath. It’s so simple. I just wrapped the garlands (2 of them) around the wreath form and secured it with straight pins.
Next, I attached the bow with the wire that came with it. East. Then to give the skeletons a bit more pizzazz, I painted them with gold glitter paint.
Once the paint glitter was dry, I used hot glue to attach one of the skeletons to the wreath.
I twisted a loop into a piece of wire to create a hanger for hanging the wreath. I simply attached it by wrapping it around the wreath.
Lastly, I attached the tag with hot glue and it was done!
Now let’s see what my friends have made:

This looks great, and just the right amount of scary. I use that method too, I walk around Dollar Tree and wait for inspiration to hit 🙂
Super cute & clever! I never thought about using garland for wreaths. What the heck is wrong with me!!
That “boo” tag is absolutely adorable and adds the perfect festive touch to such a cute wreath! Thanks so much for joining us this month!!
Cute ideas. I love halloween decor.
Thanks for sharing at To Grandma’s House We Go DIY, Crafts, Recipes and More Wednesday Link Party. I pinned this!
Hope to have you join again next week!
These decoration items are so impressive. I will make them to decorate my Halloween party.
This is a great reminder that creativity often delivers better results than a bigger budget. The same principle applies during seasonal marketing for online stores. Halloween is one of those events where thoughtful, well-timed campaigns usually outperform generic promotions. Brands using Klaviyo for ecommerce can create targeted email and SMS flows for holiday shoppers, abandoned carts, and post-purchase follow-ups, making seasonal campaigns feel much more personal while extending customer engagement beyond the holiday itself.
I love how you turned a Dollar Tree run into a Halloween wreath, the way the black‑and‑silver garland frames the skeleton accents and the plastic bow adds whimsy. In the context of budgeting creative projects, understanding Sumner County Filing processes can be comparable to tracking $1 items’ contribution to the overall look. Your choice of a sturdy wreath form with straight pins ensures durability, while layered garlands give depth without breaking the bank. This approach makes the DIY Dollar Store challenge both fun and financially savvy.
