Spring Decor for the Front Door
Saint Patricks’s day came so quickly after Mardi Gras this year, I am just going right to Spring decor for the front door.  If you are a gardener or have a gardening friend, this is a quick and easy way to decorate for Spring!  To make it extra special, everything for this came from the dollar store!
Can you believe I was inspired by some seed packets and a little trellis? Â All of these came from the dollar store!
The aisles of the dollar store also revealed garden gloves and a trowel. Â This trowel is sturdy enough to use in the garden, but I had other plans! Â
I cut off all of those tags and began to put things together! Â
I used a piece of floral wire to wrap around the the garden gloves. Â This will allow me to attach these to the trellis later. Â
Did you know that there is a craft section at the Dollar Tree stores? Â You can find all kinds of handy craft items like these little styrofoam circles. Â This would be the perfect size for my garden inspired door decor. Â Â
In full disclosure, I had these heavy wrapped wire stems on hand. Â I only used one, pushed all the way through my styrofoam circle. Â You won’t want to use a plain wire as it will cut its way right through the styrofoam. Â I used this wrapped one which doesn’t cut through the styrofoam. Â
I used that wire to attach my styrofoam circle, making sure I attach it where their are cross wires on the trellis.
Time to add the flowers! Â I picked up a few pink and white peony bushes from the same dollar store and cut the stems of each blossom short and simply stuck them into the styrofoam. Â
Who would have thought dollar store artificial flowers could look so beautiful! Â I am already planning on heading back to the store to pick up more of these! Â I simply filled in covering the entire piece of styrofoam. Â
Oh, did I forget to mention that in addition to those adorable bunnies I used in my bunny rabbit wreath, the Dollar Tree also has these cute little frogs! Â I think this little frog would love to hang around the garden, don’t you? Â I used a piece of floral wire to secure him to the trellis. Â The wire disappears into his fur. Â
Those packets of seeds just needed a little bit of hot glue to secure them together to add them to the trellis. Â
If you have a white or light colored door (like I am hoping to have this year) This would look lovely! Â
You can see that on my dark green door this is not the best for show, but it still us a fun way to send a message that you love to garden!
Chloe, what a fun welcome at your front door! It is amazing what you can find at the dollar store…Happy Weekend!!
This is so adorable! I really appreciate you helpful posts. I love how you are starting to use the Dollar store and showing us all we can do with their items. I love Dollar Tree.
Oh, thank you Valerie! I have been doing the Dollar Store for a LONG time! My Halloween wreath with the black crows was the dollar store project that got me started with Hometalk!
Ah, the dollar store; my home away from home. That’s really cute and fun. Sometimes I take the wind chimes apart to get a frog or butterfly etc.
One of the things I do when I make a wreath or piece for the door is glue a felt pad on the back to
prevent scratching the door.
Oh, that is a great idea Myrna, I haven’t tried that! Thanks for stopping by!
I love this … It is so unique… thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas…
Thank you Debbie!
Ha! Fun Chloe!! There is something about seed packets that is just so darn cute!
Thank you Jenna! I made this with a dear gardening friend in mind!
