**DIY Lemon Wreath from Dollar Tree**
When it comes to decorating for spring, one of my favorite DIY projects is creating a beautiful wreath using lemons and other greenery. In this article, I'll show you how to make a stunning lemon wreath using items from Dollar Tree.
The idea for this project came about when I stumbled upon a willow wreath at Dollar Tree that caught my eye. I thought it would be the perfect base for my DIY project. To start, I purchased two lemons from the same bag at Dollar Tree for $2.50 each. As you can see, the lemons are not cheap, but the quality is great and they're a beautiful addition to any room.
To begin creating my wreath, I started by securing the willow wreath with some hot glue. It's essential to stabilize the lemons since the wreath has a bumpy surface. I wanted to add a bit of texture and visual interest to my DIY project. The hot glue was necessary to secure the lemons in place. I applied it in small amounts, making sure not to overdo it, as this can cause the lemons to become misshapen.
I added a few smaller lemons to fill in some gaps, but overall, the wreath has a lovely balance of size and shape. The hot glue was used sparingly to prevent any lumps or bumps from forming. With every addition, I made sure to secure it firmly in place, adjusting as needed until everything felt stable.
The next step was adding some greenery to complement the lemons. I found a beautiful bouquet at Hobby Lobby that had leaves similar to those on the garland from Dollar Tree. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that the leaves from the hobby store were almost identical in appearance to the ones from the dollar tree. So, I decided to use the leaves from the dollar tree instead.
To add the greenery to my wreath, I picked a few of the leaves and plucked them off the garland, taking care not to damage any of the stems. I then added some hot glue to secure their ends in place. The goal was to create a cohesive look with a more yellow tone than green. Therefore, I didn't add too many leaves to this DIY. By clustering the lemons together, you can achieve either a mostly yellow or a mix of yellow and green color scheme.
The final touch for my wreath was adding a small candle from Target as its centerpiece. I chose a white candle because it would highlight the beautiful yellow of the lemons and add an elegant touch to my DIY project.
This lemon wreath is perfect for decorating your home, parties, luncheons, or even weddings. The willow wreath from Dollar Tree can be used as a base for other DIY projects, such as creating a more elaborate wreath or turning it into a real wreath that you can hang on your door.
One of the best things about this project is its versatility and affordability. With just a few items from Dollar Tree, I was able to create a beautiful piece of art that adds some spring charm to any room. The total cost for this DIY was approximately $5.50, which includes the willow wreath, lemons, greenery, twine, books, and candle.
**Tips and Variations**
If you want more greenery than yellow in your wreath, simply cluster a few of the smaller lemons together and add an equal amount of green leaves to fill in any gaps. You can also use this technique to create a mix of colors by clustering larger lemons with fewer leaves or vice versa.
Another idea for creating a beautiful centerpiece is to stack several books of your choice on top of each other, wrapping some twine around the edges to secure them in place. This creates a unique and eye-catching display that adds visual interest to any room.
