During a pre-Christmas trip to my local Dollar Tree, I came across these Miniature Artificial Christmas Trees. I wasn’t exactly sure what DIY Christmas decorations I was going to make with them at first but I tossed a couple in my basket anyway. Inspiration hit when an ad for a snowflake wreath came across my feed. That’s it!! I headed back to the dollar store and grabbed some more mini trees to make this snowflake wreath.
The Dollar Tree had miniature Christmas trees in both green and white. I decided to use the white trees as this snowflake wreath would be my post-Christmas winter wreath. Plus the white color scheme paired well with a couple of other recent dollar store DIY Christmas decorations like this one and this one.
DIY Christmas Decoration: Snowflake Wreath
All of the materials used in this snowflake wreath can be found at the Dollar Tree around the Christmas season.
One of the best part about this DIY Christmas decoration is the ability to change it up. This snowflake wreath looks great in a monochromatic white color scheme or full of color. Use faux berries, greenery, ornaments, ribbon, birds, or pinecones to customize it to your liking
Materials
- 6 miniature artificial Christmas trees
- duct tape
- wire
- decoration: faux metallic berries, faux snowballs, Christmas ornaments
- ribbon or wire for hanging
Remove the hexagon base piece from the bottom of the artificial trees and discard (or save for a later project).
Tape together the bottoms of the trees in pairs so you have three long pieces to work with. I’m calling these “branches”.
Arrange the trees in a snowflake shape and wrap with a wire to hold in place. You could also use duct tape for this step.
Arrange the stems of your faux berries and stems to match the shape of the snowflake branches and tape together. I used clear tape for this step. Place this on top of the branches.
Fluff out the branches. Bend down the bottom pieces to cover the taped and wired center of the wreath.
Add Christmas ornaments in between each branch for some extra sparkle. I used wire to wrap through the ornament loops and weave over the snowflake branches.
Add a piece of wire or ribbon to the back of the snowflake wreath to hang. I used a silver metallic ribbon for mine.
DIY Flocked Christmas Tree
Create a snowy Christmas theme with a DIY flocked tree.
Here’s the final snowflake wreath hanging in my entryway. I’ll transfer it to the front door until it’s time for a wreath update.
This DIY Christmas decoration is fun to make and customize and much more affordable than the version I saw online.

I was planning to do a wreath like this one! Bought six White Christmas Trees, got them home and wrapped them together. Then I realized, five of the six trees are LAVENDER! So much for a snowy white Christmas Wreath! Maybe something for Spring!
Whoopsie! Yep, I’m imagining a flower shape with some pastel eggs in the center? I’d love see how it turns out. Send pics :)
same thing happened to me 5 multi green trees, 1 dark green! And I don’t live near to get another :(
Oh shoot! Can you adapt and use just the 5?
Couldn’t you spray them with white paint?
Yes! You absolutely could paint them. :)
Yes and when paint is wet sprinkle a little glitter over paint
Thank you will be making the wreath for our church’s doors.
That’s wonderful! I would love to see a picture of them hanging on the doors. Send pics :)
This would be a great “winter” wreath for after Christmas. Besides the trees, did you also buy the rest of the items from the Dollar Tree?
Yep! This is the wreath that goes up after Christmas :) The other items I used were things I had in my stash, though Dollar Tree has a lot of similar items that could be used.
The SNOWFLAKE is beautiful, I will make 2 for my home, THANK YOU
Thank you Denise! :) Send pictures.
I am going to try stringing lights and post them on ground on yard. Some for neighbors too!
That sounds like an awesome idea! Our neighbors have been decorating for various holidays this year, just for my son to enjoy (since we’re always home now). So your efforts will be noticed. :) I’d love to see pics!
Thank so much for the holiday decorations, I’m always looking for ideas, especially the winter wonderland look.
Hi Margaret – Glad to hear that you’ve found some inspiration :) Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Cathi I would just like to say that this wreath is beautiful I am in the middle of making a couple of different wreaths using ribbons first time I have made wreaths but this just maybe my next one I attempt to make it is beautiful Thank you for the inspiration
P.S we do not have dollar tree here in Scotland we have poundland going there on Monday to look for mini trees
Thank you Caroline
Hi Caroline –
That’s wonderful to hear. I have a bit of a wreath-making obsession because I love to change them for the different seasons and holidays.
This snowflake is one of my favorites. Send pics if you make it :)
I just want to say, I found this on the web via pinterest, and I made it! I thought it would be extra extra cheesey, but it turns out, it was only extra cheesey! All Dollar Tree materials. I love it. I couldn’t find white trees, so I spray painted mine. Only it’s too cold out for actual good spray painting, so they didn’t cover all the way. But it looks kinda like flocked greens! This thing will probably give me cancer, it is so Made in China plastic, but it looks GREAT. I imagine made with real greens, it would be really great- but this was much easier! One trip to DT and BAM! Snowflake wreath. Thanks for this!
Well, hot damn! It really is an easy, fun make. And it’s a good size to have a stunning look. Glad to hear you had fun. :)
Love this. Perfect for behind my desk at work. ❄️
Now I need to figure out what to do with all the feet for the bottom of the tree.
Hi want to make this snow flake wealth want to dollar tree store they had a4 ft tree I am wondering what size is your tree
Thanks
Sue
Hi Sue – The Dollar Tree trees I used were the table top version that are 18″ tall.
