Sew a Wreath from... Potholders?!? Dollar Tree Hack Christmas Decoration Tutorial! 

Love this wreath! And it is so great that you did all of the heavy lifting for us (the dreaded angle math). Thanks for suggesting that it isn't just for Christmas. I am looking forward to finding potholders. This is also perfect for those gift giving restrictions of $10.

Your throat sounds much better! Clever idea and bravo for cost cutting!

Bet $🌲 will be out of those potholders by store close tonight. 💜it. 👍🏻

Ugh. Math is hard. I'm so happy I'm not the only one that struggles. 😂😂 Great job, Tim! For under $10 you could make a few without having to get a 2nd mortgage!! ❤

I love it as both hats but that collar!!! That’s just excellent. Seriously, I saw the very expensive version and thought, NO! But your version with potholders is a definite YES. Thanks for doing the math for us.

I really appreciate the 1” square on the template. Printers and software can vary, so the 1” square is helpful for adjustments. 😊😊

How on earth did i miss this one? It's a bad you tube not letting me know it was there to watch! King Tim, the Myan King of the pot holders, well that's what the blooper hat reminded me of. Thank you for sharing the process, it is good to see the hiccups that come with trying to work something out without a pattern or any instructions. Just an idea in your brain and a vision of what you want it to be like at the end. Also a big thank you for adding the template so the rest of us don't need to do any sewing maths if we don't want to. Off now to scroll through to see if there are any more gems i may have missed.💜💐

So glad you did all the measurements and shared them!! I would never have figured it out Love your videos!!!! Thank you

I love this idea! This would be pretty with a hurricane candle in the middle!

You could string lights through the little loops, and put some pine cones in the center and hang it on kitchen cupboard doors!

Your demo & math skills are great! I purchased “one of those expensive kits” & haven’t made it. I like your method much better! Thank you!

Always entertaining. So glad I watched the bloopers. Made me laugh out loud.

Tim, You have outdone yourself. THANK YOU! I must run out and get this. Thank you for the error and making it easier for me. THANKYA!!

Again, I love that you leave in your mistakes so we can learn. Also, LOVED your "bloopers" 😃

I can't wait to make it

I haven't even watched the full video but had to stop and let you know that I think this is terrific.

Oh I can see this being made for different occasions or seasons! Like another viewer mentioned, lights in the loops would be a great accent!

Thanks Tim for the pattern and the wreath idea. Hawaii has no dollar stores. We also have no square pot holders...fortunately, there is amazon and my brother and niece who live in California. They hate to go shopping especially at dollar stores and hobby lobby who also does not ship to hawaii. Go figure...you are so entertaining! Mahalo plenti! Ce

Really like potholder hack. Enjoyed this.

I would put the flowers out with green behind. Cut off all but one of the loops. Great idea.

I hung mine on the front door! Beautiful wreath!!

I really love that you are working this out as we go along with you. It helps to learn the design and thought process. Great project. TY

Thank you so much for the template - for the life of me I could not figure that one out!

Thank you sooo much for this idea! I made the ones with fabric, interfacing , beads and the pattern. They are hexagons. It took a lot more work and money. I am soooooo going to get a bunch of potholders from Dollar Tree! Some candles too! We sewed beads at the joins on top for a little more decorative look.

Tim, dig this..... thank you and Happy Holidays

this was awesome, had to run out to Dollar Tree to get our pot holders to try today.

I was thinking the same thing, folding potholders instead of fold and stitch long frustrating instructions😂 lovely hack!

Thanks for the pattern. Made with Fall leave print potholders. Will look great with a pumpkin in the middle. Wish I could show the picture.

LOVE the hat! You're hilarious!

So much fun! Definitely needs some stabilizing for hanging on the wall, you are correct. Could possibly sew it/ tack it down to one of the Dollar Tree metal wreath forms? Still under $10! 😂 An all-metal coat hanger could possibly work, too, though I’m not sure it would be stiff enough. Or some millinery wire, but that would probably cost more and be more difficult to locate. I bet this would be pretty for spring or summer or even fall, depending on which potholders you found. I am tempted to go see what our local DT has right now in the end of summer. A sunflower would be super fun, or something orangey for fall. 😃 Like you, I like the loops. And then you have infinite places to hang it! You could also get super fancy and add a bow… but that might push it over $10. 😂😂 I loved the “hats” at the end. LOL!

I was really lucky... I found the same potholders!

Love this. Already downloaded the template. Thank you!

Thank you Mr. Totten. You are not only inspiring, but your gift of sharing and caring is beyond amazing

Wow! I love this! It works as a center table piece, a wall wreath & my new favorite necklace! Thank you for showing me how easy it can be to create🙋🏼‍♀️❣️

I tried to make one with material. I love yours. You are brilliant.

I like it you’re a very smart man👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I’ve always wanted to make one now I think I’ll make a few thank you

What a wonderful gift for Christmas! Thank you so much for the measurements, I’m not so good at it. Love all the different ways you showed us how we could wear it 😂 love that hat idea hahaha!

Love it. This works up much faster and cheaper. Thanks for the tutorial.

The wreathe is really cute and since you did the math, it wouldn't take long. Thanks for sharing this. Merry Christmas. 🙂🙃🙂

I see a trip to dollar tree in my near future!

I made one of these and it’s perfect! Thank you for your videos, I love watching your creativity!

Love this idea

So pretty, I love it like a hat! Lol

Absolutely darling!!! The last "hat" was very Patti LaBelle!!!

Thanks for sharing this. Off to Dollar Tree!

Great inexpensive idea, just beautiful!!

Going to check-out the Halloween potholders at dollar tree and see if i can make one for Fall!

This is SO ADORABLE!! I’m making one today! For get waiting for Christmas!! 😊

This is a great wreath idea and I love love love your additional hat (both styles, down and up, but my favorite was up 😂) and collar suggestions. You're the best!!!

That wreath would be a nice tree skirt for a small table top Christmas tree. Thanks for the tutorial. I wonder if I holiday towels could be used to make a larger sized one.

I like this. What a math problem!!!

I’ve seen several of those. I think I like yours better!

Excelente idea!!! ❤❤❤

Fantastic

Great idea! Thank you for providing the template!

I know who you are talking about I love watching them but everything is kits I just want to buy the pattern so I can use my own fabric thank you so much for doing this I really want to make this but like you said who wants to spend 100 dollars I have my own fabric I don't mine the time not doing anything any way lol but I hate buying kits

Cool!

For years , I've been making candle wreaths , that sort of look that way.... This would be a beautiful candle ring , laid on a table with the a big candle in the center.... thanks for the idea with the potholders. If you were to make it with fabric squares... etc... what size again is the square of the pot holder?

😅love it!!

Hang some candy canes in the extra loops.

Could you alternate the different pads green and then a poinsettia to make it look really cool?🙏🏻💜

Maybe lights could be put in the loops

it would be nice with Halloween pot holders

A thought - could add another layer of PH’s. Leave the last piece un attached and have a tree skirt

plastic needle point on back

❤

love this idea but my Dollar Tree does not have enough to make it, Do you know how to make a smaller one cause I am not good at math to figure it out using Dollar Tree pot holder or what size if I make my own with Steelers fabric, thanks and love your videos

как шляпа.. тоже отлично

👍👍👍🙏

Love the wreath but getting to making it you’ve made it so complicated it was hard to keep focused. Usually your instructions are very simple but you pretty much lost me with all the math.

Very nice😋👏!!! Fast results only - 'Promo sm' .
