How to Make a Grinch Wreath: DIY Step-by-Step Tutorial

Ingredients

  • Large Dollar Tree Candy Cane Wreath form
  • Dollar Tree red velvet scarf with pom poms on the ends
  • Bright Green Faux Fur Dollar Tree
  • Large Red ornament Dollar Tree
  • Hot glue gun/glue sticks
  • Permanent marker or pen
  • Santa Hat for the white section to create the Santa arm
  • X-acto knife or razor blade
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Begin by cutting off one end of the scarf, where the pom-pom ball is located.
  • Slide the scarf over the candy cane wreath form and trim off excess fabric.
  • Fold over the excess fabric on both ends and hot glue in place around the wire wreath frame.
  • Trace your hand on the back of the faux fur, making the fingers long and pointed.
  • Use an x-acto knife or razor blade to carefully cut the faux fur backing without cutting through the fur. It's best to make a few passes to ensure a precise cut. Do NOT use scissors for this step or the faux fur will not look right!
  • Flip over the fabric and push the faux fur together to create finger-like shapes. If you'd like to pose the fingers more, you could glue pipe cleaners to the back of the faux fur to make the finger sections bendable and poseable, and wrap the faux fur around the pipe cleaners.
  • Apply hot glue to the end of the wreath and press the faux fur on top. This edge will be covered up so don't stress about making it look perfect. You can also glue the sides of the finger sections together to define the fingers more, if you'd like.
  • Cut the bottom section of the Santa hat to make the end of the arm resemble a jacket (approximately 7 inches). Hot glue around the end of the candy cane wreath form over the green faux fur.
  • Hot glue two fingers together, securing them in place with the string from the ornament in the middle.

Notes

Can't find green faux fur? Use a green feather boa, greenery garland, or felt sheet instead.
Can't find a red Santa scarf? A red fleece or fabric scarf will work, too, glued along the front of the wreath form.
