DIY Upcycled $15 Dollar Tree Carrot Wreath
Happy Spring! I love a good upcycle and an inexpensive craft. So, today I am happy to report that we are transforming a thrifted wreath and turning it into a charming carrot wreath for less than $15.
But first, some backstory! As you probably know by now, I love to go thrifting! On a recent thrifting adventure, I found a grapevine wreath form for $2. I saw its good bones, and snagged it because I love working with grapevine wreaths and they can get it expensive. However, the vibe was a little too old school for me. (However, I will keep those chamring wooden cutouts for a later project.) So I saw past it current state and decided to transform it into a charming carrot wreath, just in time for Spring. Follow along for the how-to to make your own!
For your convenience, I created a step-by-step video tutorial so you can see how I created this wreath using dollar store carrots and a thrifted wreath. Then continue below to follow the step-by-step images to make your own DIY Dollar Tree Carrot Wreath.

To create your own carrot wreath this Easter, you will need:
Prepare the Grapevine Wreath
If you thrift your wreath like I did, remove all of the details with a wire cutter to strip the grapevine to its bones.
Then clean the wreath thoroughly with a disinfectant spray. Then set it out in the sun to dry!
Then, add a wreath hanger with wire or string if there isn’t one already.
Hot Glue Carrots to the Wreath
One at a time, apply hot glue to the back of the carrots and then securely press them onto the wreath (with the carrot stems sticking out).
*Hold the carrots in place until the hot glue dries to ensure a firm hold.
Continue to attach the carrots to the wreath right next to each other, until you cover the entire wreath.
Finish the Wreath with a Beautiful Bow
To add some extra whimsy and movement to wreath, I thought it would a beautiful, oversized bow to the wreath using one of my hand dyed and hand torn silk ribbons. However, you can choose whatever ribbon you have on hand. It can even be a contrasting color.
Secure the ribbon to the wreath with hot glue so that it lays naturally onto the wreath when it is hung.
Trim the ends of the ribbon.
