I hope you, “Dig it, man.” I walked into the dollar store 2 weeks ago while my husband was in the shoe store next door, and I saw these bright beautiful garden gloves on the rack right in front of the door. I immediately picked up a few pairs, felt them, and tried to envision a “Spring Wreath”. It was hard…there were so many people people in there, and I was a bit annoyed to be honest (hint: avoid the dollar store on Saturdays). I took a few deep breaths, walked around and came back to the gloves. I knew this could work if I just took my time. Little did I know the “Garden Glove Spring Wreath” would turn out so darn cute.
I am so happy I stuck with this, and didn’t go join Rick at the shoe store! This “Garden Glove Spring Wreath” is probably the cutest wreath I have ever designed. It even blows away the “Garden Hose Wreath” as far as I am concerned 😯 . I totally dig how simple it was to make.
Lets’a not forget it only cost $11 bucks. I nearly croaked when I realized how inexpensive.
Here’s how I did it!
Supplies:
-1 dollar store round green foam wreath (see photos)
-8 pairs of dollar store gloves in preferred colors (I separated each pair and used 1 glove at a time on the wreath.)
-1 metal dollar store frog yard stick (cut off stick part with metal cutters-if no metal cutters, find another frog 😉 )
-dollar store garden name tag (w/ permanent marker)
-stapler
-permanent marker
-twine/wire
Directions:
-Cut off tags on all gloves and lay-out your design. If you decide to use my design, use 1 glove at a time. I used 3 patterns total, and alternated in groups of 3’s. The photo shows this. In other words: GREEN GLOVE, POLKA DOT GLOVE, CHECKERED GLOVE.
-Once you have your basic lay-out done, use a stapler (TIP:large safety pins will work too!) to connect gloves to themselves after you wrap it around the wreath. The photos below show this best.
-Slide your gloves around that are connected with the stapler so they are spaced out on foam wreath. Fluff those gloves!
-Use thin wire to attach frog to front of wreath.
-Have fun and write something fun on tag and stick in frog. I didn’t even need glue.
I love your new ‘Glove Wreath’, it is so adorable!!! I went out to the Dollar Store near near me to pick up all the supplies you listed yesterday. I tried using my stapler, but it was too small to work through the thickness of the gloves, next tried sewing, I didn’t like the look.
So this morning I found a straw wreath form in my craft supplies, and florist staples to attach the gloves.
Yours is still the cutest wreath ever, I may still make a few changes after looking at it for awhile.
Hugs and a big thankful for sharing with us your cute wreath! It makes me smile!
Thank you, Debbie! Unfortunately I lost the original comments on here due to some technical difficulties, but one of my readers had an issue with her staples as well. I recommended using large safety pins. The staples can be difficult if not a larger stapler/staple. So happy you made one!
Love, love love this wreath and am going to try and make it! Just so you know, the 4th DIY above doesn’t have a link. Thought you might want to fix that too. Thanks for the inspiration! Love your stuff.
Ok, you’ve outdone yourself on the creative meter!! This is the cutest wreath ever! What a fun idea & the colors in those garden gloves are so bright and cheery! thanks so much for joining in the My Dollar Store DIY this Spring! 😉

I love the garden glove wreath! Instructions are great and it’s a reasonable summer house gift. The only thing missing is the size of the styrofoam wreath?
Can you please advise? Did I miss it somewhere?

I tried to send a pic of my glove wreath, but I wasn’t able to find how to attach my pic.

The wreath is 10 inches wide, but feel free to chose the side you would like! The gloves do extend it.
