How to Make an Easy & Affordable DIY Americana Scarf Wreath

Hometalk Recommends!
1. Grab a laundry basket
First, pick up a Dollar Tree laundry basket.
2. Cut the top
Cut the top (handle part) off to use as a wreath base.
Don't throw out the rest of that dollar store basket.

3. Gather scarves
I also bought three of these red infinity scarves from Dollar Tree.
And one blue check pattern scarf from Target. I used this scarf as an accent color/pattern on the outside of my wreath.
4. Wrap the scarves
Wrap the wreath base completely with scarves. I did not cut the infinity scarves. I wanted my wreath to have a little bulk to it, but that is an option.
Use safety pins and pin along the back of the wreath to secure everything.
Next, wrap the second color scarf loosely around the wreath (as shown above).
Allow a little of the underneath color to peek through and secure the second scarf with safety pins along the back of the wreath as needed.
5. Decorate the wreath
Decorate your wreath with a bow or any decorations you have on hand. I used another red scarf to make a bow and I bought a glitter star from DT to hang in the center.

why cut up a good basket when you can get a large styrofoam ring from the dollar store and do the same thing I did it with the ring and it looked great wish I had it still
