These great shiplap ornaments started off as brightly colored ornaments. With just a bit of paint they were transformed to fit in with farmhouse decor. At just $1 each, you can’t beat them. With a bit of imagination you can transform these into so many different styles. These would also make great gifts.
Coffee Filter Wreath
Tutorial at DIY Beautify
Here’s a beautiful wreath made completely from coffee filters. You know you can get a bunch of them at the dollar store and you can even pick up a wreath form while you’re there. Add some glue and you’ve got yourself a breathtaking door hanging. I can’t believe how full and pretty this is when it’s finished. It takes a little time to put it together but it’s definitely beautiful when it’s all finished.
Candy Cane Wreath
Tutorial at: At the Picket Fence
We’ve seen lots of tutorials using real candy canes and it’s not something we’ve ever wanted to try. We were really glad to see this one that uses the slimmer plastic candy canes from the dollar store. This is a different pattern than most of the others that we’ve seen and we definitely love the look! For just a few dollars you can create this brightly colored candy cane wreath for your front door.
