How to Make an Easy Farmhouse Christmas Wreath: Step-by-Step Tutorial
Supplies
- 18-inch grapevine wreath (available at craft stores like Michaels, Joann’s, Hobby Lobby or Walmart for $5-10 – and don’t forget to use a coupon!)
- Hot glue gun/glue sticks
- Scissors
- Wire cutters
- Dollar Tree picks (I used 2 each of the buffalo check ornament pick, lamb’s ear pick, flat holly with berries pick, and evergreen pine greenery pick)
- Red and Black buffalo check bow (from the craft store or learn to make your own fancy ribbon bow here)
As always, work with what you can find at your local Dollar Tree or craft store – use different greenery stems and leaves or vines, add sleigh bells or dried oranges, swap the buffalo check for burlap ribbon, etc.
Instructions
Step 1: Attach the Bow
Start by attaching the red and black buffalo check bow to the wreath along the side, using the twist tie that comes with the wreath. Secure it further with twine, floral wire, or glue if needed.
Step 2: Prepare the Picks
Use wire cutters to trim the stems of the greenery picks. Cut the flat holly pieces, lamb’s ear, and buffalo check ornament pieces, leaving an inch or two of the stem for weaving into the wreath form.
Step 3: Weave the Picks
Apply a line of hot glue to the stem of each pick and weave them into the grapevine wreath.
Begin with the greenery picks, followed by the flat holly and buffalo check ornament pieces. Place the picks symmetrically, centered around the wreath, for a balanced and interesting wreath arrangement.
Variations for the Craft
- Color Palette: Experiment with different color schemes to match your existing décor. Consider using gold or silver accents for a touch of glamour.
- Additional Embellishments: Enhance the wreath by adding small ornaments, pinecones, or even miniature fairy lights for a festive sparkle.
- Personalized Ribbon: Instead of the Dollar Tree bow, create a personalized ribbon using holiday-themed prints or phrases that resonate with you.
Common Questions About the Dollar Tree Farmhouse Christmas Wreath
Can I use a different-sized wreath form?
Absolutely! Adjusting the wreath size allows for customization, but keep in mind that you might need to modify the quantity of materials accordingly. Dollar Tree twig wreaths are typically available in 12-inch or 10-inch sizes, for a miniature wreath for a mantel or hanging on cabinets. You could also easily adjust this holiday wreath to use a fresh wreath instead of a dried twig wreath – just add the picks to the evergreen wreath and enjoy!

Where can I find similar picks if Dollar Tree doesn’t have them?
Craft stores like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby usually carry a variety of picks, and during the Christmas season you may be able to find Christmas floral at other stores such as Big Lots or even Home Depot or Lowe’s. You can also explore online options for a broader selection.
Can I make this wreath with kids?
This project is family-friendly, but adult supervision is recommended, especially when using hot glue. Kids can help arrange and choose placements for the picks.
