Ingredients
- 1 Bicycle Wheel Wreath Form Dollar Tree
- 1 Fresh Flower Market Sign Dollar Tree
- 1 Sunflower bunch Walmart or Dollar Tree
- 1 Lavender bunch Walmart or Dollar Tree
- 1 Lambs Ear Walmart or Dollar Tree
- Hot Glue Gun/glue sticks
- 1 Tan and White Bow - premade from Michaels or you can make one on your own or with a bow-making tool
Instructions
- Begin by carefully removing the ribbon used to hang the fresh flower market sign from the Dollar Tree.
- Use this ribbon to tie together the sunflowers, lavender, and lamb's ear in a flower bundle. This will create a lovely bouquet that will serve as the centerpiece of your wreath.
- Apply hot glue to areas on the bicycle wheel wreath form where the flowers will come into contact. This will help secure the flowers in place. Place the flowers and press firmly.
- Using the twist tie that comes with the bow, secure it around the wheel wreath form and the flower bunch you created. This will hold the bouquet firmly in place and add a decorative touch to your wreath. You could also use small green zip ties or floral wire to attach the flower bundle.
- Add a generous amount of hot glue to the center of the wheel form, as this is where part of the flower market sign will be attached. Also, apply glue to the outer ring of the wreath form.
- Attach the Flower Market sign to the wreath using hot glue. Position it in the center of the wreath to create a charming focal point. Again, for added security, if you'd like, you can use zip ties through the existing staples on the back of the sign.
- If you didn't purchase a bow, you can easily make one using ribbon from Michaels or your preferred craft store. Simply loop and tie the ribbon into a bow, then attach it to your wreath with hot glue and/or a twist tie or zip tie.
- Your beautiful flower door wreath is now ready to adorn your front door and impress everyone who passes by!

Variations for the Craft
While the basic flower door wreath is stunning on its own, you can get creative and add your own unique twist to this craft. Here are some variations to consider:- Seasonal Themes: Change the flower selection and colors to match the season. For example, use pastel flowers for spring or rich reds and oranges for fall.
- Personalized Sign: Instead of the Flower Market sign, create a custom sign with your family name or a greeting. Personalizing your wreath adds a special touch.
- Additional Decor: Incorporate other decorative elements like faux butterflies, bees, or even small birdhouses for an eclectic, nature-inspired wreath.
- Ribbon Variations: Experiment with different types of ribbons for your bow. From burlap to satin, the choice of ribbon can dramatically alter the wreath's overall look.
