Stop by your local target, grab six $1 pumpkins, then follow our Dollar Spot pumpkin wreath tutorial for a gorgeous wreath to hang on your front door!

I stopped Target last week to grab a few more things that the kids needed for school, and was surprised to see that they were already pulling out the fall items for the Dollar Spot! They only had a few bins unpacked, but I immediately spotted the cute velvety $1 pumpkins that they had last year. I grabbed 6, and had the beginnings of one of my FAVORITE homemade wreaths. This wreath was SO easy to make, especially since I re-used some greenery that I had from a previous project!

Here is my step by step tutorial for making your own Dollar Spot pumpkin wreath!

First you will want to head to Target and pick out your pumpkins. They sell out of these fast, and while they do restock, it’s best to get them early so that you can get your wreath up sooner vs. later.

Supplies That You’ll Need for Your Dollar Spot Pumpkin Wreath

Wreath base ($4.86 at Walmart)

4 greenery stems, plus one more as filler (optional) (Hobby Lobby, but you can also find similar ones at Target, Joann’s, or Michael’s)

6 mini pumpkins (Target Dollar Spot)

Floral filler stems (Joann’s)

Ribbon for hanging (Oriental Trading)

Hot Glue/Gun

Floral Wire

Wire Cutters

ribbon and floral picks

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

I used greenery from a previous project, and actually pulled these blue floral stems out of my citrus summer wreath. I don’t glue floral stems into my wreaths unless I have to, this way I can mix and match and re-use them!

I wasn’t sure which ribbon I would end up using, so I pulled out two and decided right before I hung the wreath. The burlap one is from Walmart and the buffalo check is from Oriental Trading and is only $4.99 for a 10 yard roll. I love it and use it all the time.

Step 2: Assemble the Wreath

Trim the wire on the greenery stems so that it tucks in nicely into the wreath and doesn’t poke out the back. Place two of the greenery stems in between the grapevine twigs. Tuck them in nice and tight. Have one stem going up, and the other one going down. Tuck one more greenery stem on each end to add a bit more fulness.

Step 3: Glue Pumpkins

Hot glue the pumpkins onto the wreath. Go slowly, and hold each pumpkin into place until the glue dries.

Step 4: Tuck in the filler floral stems.

Add extra greenery stems that are smaller, and add them anywhere you’d like to create fullness. In the photo below you’ll notice that I added them in between the pumpkins.

Step 5: Secure any loose areas with hot glue or floral wire.

I like using floral wire for the greenery and any sort of floral pick. Cut a long strand of wire then wrap it around the stems and greenery, twisting it to secure it on the back of the wreath. Go liberally on the hot glue for things like pinecones or pumpkins that are heavier.

Last night a friend dropped by supplies for me to make a wreath, only it wasn’t for her. She asked me to make the wreath and give it to her friend at church who really loves decorating, but doesn’t have a lot of funds right now. She thought she might like a new wreath to brighten her porch.

I was so touched and honored to help in this sweet act of service. We used different colored pumpkins and floral picks and I love how it turned out!

Step 6: Cut a loop of ribbon and tie it around the wreath for hanging.

Looking for another project to make using these same colors and lambs ear greenery? Try my DIY painted pumpkins using these pumpkins!

      Hi Tara! It’s called REFUGE by Sherwin Williams and is actually a grey/blue. It looks a bit darker in this photo than it really is. You can see a better representation of it in this photo: https://gluesticksblog.com/easy-wreath-tutorial/

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
