How to Make a DIY Dollar Store Snowflake Wreath ~ Instructions

Step 1: Create a Snowflake Pattern

Fold a large piece of draft paper into fourths. Then use a pencil to trace a snowflake pattern like the one below.

This piece of craft paper is actually a sheet from Hobby Lobby that they use to wrap fragile items. It fit the Dollar Store foam core perfectly!

DIY Wreath Making Tip: To make cutting easier keep the snowflake shape curved instead of pointed.

Step 2: Cut Snowflake Wreath Out

Use a serrated knife to carefully cut out the snowflake shape.

Step 3: Prep for Spray Paint

Next the snowflake needs to be prepped for a coat of white spray paint. The edges of the foam core must be sealed. Cover the edges of the foam core shape using masking tape and this technique.

Spraying the entire shape with paint will allow you to start the DIY snowflake wreath with a clean white background. I have used this process to create a Personalized Teacher Pencil, St. Patrick’s Leprechaun Hat, and Christmas Stocking Door Hanger.

Step 4: Spray with White Paint

Step 5: Add Details with Craft Paint

Use white acrylic paint to add details to the snowflake door hanger.

I started with a border of blue painter around the edges of the shape.

Next I traced circles onto each “point” of the snowflake. Dontcha love my flashlight/tracing tool?

Then I connected the circles with lines using a yardstick.

Once all the shapes were drawn I painted them all in with a lighter shade of blue. A pencil eraser makes fun dot details to the dark blue border.

When I said this was a cheap DIY Dollar Store project I really wasn’t kidding. Everything I needed either came from the Dollar Store or my craft stash.

In total I spent less than $4 for an adorable Snowflake Wreath!
