The Dollar Store is a treasure trove of goodness and today’s project proves it! I’ve had both of these supplies for well over two years! While on my Spending Strike I had to get creative so while rumaging through my craft room I wondered if these two Dollar Store purchases would play well together! And the answer was YES!!!
This entire wreath cost $3! You’ll need a 12″ Foam Wreath form and two pair of striped Tube Socks!
Cut your socks at the heal and at the toe.
Next cut the longest section of your sock in half again. You only need to do this step if you’re using more then one style of sock. In my case I uses two different striped pairs of socks and wanted to alternate them so I needed to create even sections.
Cut the Foam Wreath form in order to make a place where we can slide our socks on.
Gather your sock section and slide it on!
Once you’ve put on all your sections just spread the socks evenly to make sure it covers the entire wreath!
And you’re done! Tie a ribbon on top to hang it and pat yourself on the back for marring two random Dollar Store Items to create something great!
And the next time you get on your kids or husbands backs for not picking up their socks just threaten them that if they don’t pick them up they may end up on a wreath!
WOW! You are a GENIOUS! It looks much more complicated than it is….which means it's even MORE AWESOME!
This wreath is very cute..you're very creative!
i never would have guessed those were socks! very cute!
That is super cute!! I would have never thought to use socks! Great Job…I LOVE the dollar store crafts. It makes my heart happy.
I love this, simply adorable! I could do this w/ a bunch of my socks that have missing mates.
That is just perfect! I love the frame and the red door too!
You could so run with a theme for this one. I love christmas socks but my guys grow out of them so fast, I could have a wreath in no time, or halloween, YAHOO for this idea!
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [06 Jul 12:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria

That is incredibly creative! It looks so nice on the door. Thanks for the idea!
How creative and darling. I would LOVE one of these in my laundry room. Jenn
What a great idea! It is beautiful….I have plenty of mismatched socks to do this with! Thanks!
Ca-ute!!!
Okay. I am not a wreath girl, generally. This one, however, I adore! Those very same socks are sitting in my little one's sock drawer right now. I am sooo tempted to go nab them and do this. Although, I may have to seriously defend my actions as they are her most favorite socks. Hhmmm….
Thanks for this. Such fun!
Wow! You really can make a wreath out of just about anything. This one looks so cozy and cute! Thanks for the tut!
So cute…..what crafters can make with what you have when they put their mind to it!! Great wreath.
Seriously, how cute is this?! Who ever would have thought…If only i had cute socks.
Thanks for sharing chica!

How cute! I have soooo many striped socks from when I was in high school and we'd all wear matching ones each day of the week. (Total geeks.) I can't wait to make something like this!
Stop it! I can't believe how cute and creative this is! It's perfect.
I'm totally making one for my daughter's room – she's a sock nut!! 
Thanks so much for the wonderful (and inexpensive) idea.
This is a great idea. Love it. xo Joan@ thepottingshed-anythinggoeshere.blogspot.com/
That's so amazing! It's cracking me up that it's done with socks–you really can't tell!
How do you put on the frame on and not let it slide around when the door is being open and closed.
Adorable!!!! Who would have thought socks for a wreath?!…so creative!
That is so cute and creative! Thanks so much for this, I'll be linking.
