A HOME decor fan has created a fall pumpkin wreath from the craft section of Dollar Tree.
She did hers for a fraction of the cost of a similar one from Pottery Barn and looked better too she figured.
Jay Munee DIY (@jaymuneediy) was delighted with the finished look, and the savings she made too.
She is the queen of “DIY home decor, Dollar Tree DIYs,” and an all-around “momma and crafter.”
In this post, she set out to prove that she could produce a fall decoration for something that would not look out of place Pottery Barn.
“Please don’t spend $89 on this,” she pleaded. “Instead let’s make it for way cheaper and better-looking.”
She was delighted to announce her design as “another Pottery Barn Dollar Tree dupe.”
It was super-easy too but first, it was a trip to Dollar Tree to assemble the essential elements of her design.
She got a big ring from the floral section, then chose which pumpkins she wanted, and some clothes pins, and some glue.
The pins were glued to the pumpkins, which were the pinned onto the floral ring, enabling her to reuse the pumpkins for subsequent fall decorations.
Jay’s shopping trip didn’t break the bank: “Ended up costing $23,” she said.
For a finishing touch, she painted the pumpkins to “help give it some dimension.”
There was no denying her sense of achievement: “Here’s my version. I absolutely love it.”
There was a lot of love for her fall decor idea attracting over 200,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
“Your version looks way better than an $89 version,” said this person.
Another said: “This is adorable.”
“You are so creative. Love this,” was the view of this fan.
But one person wondered about how long it would take them to achieve it.
“I calculate how long it would take me to do this, and what time is worth, plus the lasting trauma of hot glue injuries, $89 is a bargain.”
