Farmhouse Window – Dollar Tree DIY
You can make a farmhouse window using only Dollar Tree supplies! It’s so easy to do!
I love Dollar Tree! I wish I could travel the entire United States just to visit all the Dollar Tree stores!
Okay, that may be a little obsessive, but I do seriously love Dollar Tree. I also love watching YouTube videos of others creating amazing things from items they’ve found at Dollar Tree.
And I love creating my own things using only Dollar Tree items. (I just haven’t worked up the nerve to make a video of these yet.)
I also love farmhouse decor, but it can be so expensive! One of my favorite stores is Kirkland’s, but I can’t afford anything from there so I only go there for ideas and to basically drool all over their stuff.
Farmhouse decor has really been in style lately and most of it is expensive! love to create the decor myself to save money since we are on a tight budget. Usually the decor I make is made using only Dollar Tree items, such as this DIY Farmhouse Window. Let me show you how I made that.

What you need:
- 6 picture frames from Dollar tree, size 8×10
- Garden edging
- Spray Paint (I used grey)
- Gorilla Glue
- Drop cloth or sheet
What you do:
Step 1 – Gather Materials
Lay all of the picture frames and garden edging piece on a dropcloth or an old sheet and spray paint all sides. (The spray paint came from Walmart, but that was something I already had on hand.) Let everything dry for a few hours.
Step 2 – Glue and Clamp
After the frames were dry I glued them all together with the gorilla glue and clamped them together and let them dry.
Note: The gorilla glue I used was a clear epoxy and you had to squeeze it into a container and mix it together. I hated working with this glue because it smells terrible and it doesn’t stick well to the spray paint. If I make this again I will use e6000.
Step 3 – Glue on the edging
I completely forgot to take a picture of this part because I was too excited to get it all together and hang it up. I cut off the stakes on the edging that go into the ground before painting, but I should have left them on so that I could have glued them to the back of the “window”. This would have made it more steady, but I wasn’t thinking at the time so I just glued it along the front of the window.
While all of the materials were drying I made the wreath that I put on the front.
The Wreath for the Farmhouse Window
What you need:
- Foam wreath form
- Reindeer moss
- Wooden lettering sign (I got mine from Walmart, similar here)
- Hot glue gun
- Jute or string
What you do:
Step 1 – Gather materials
While the glue on the farmhouse window was drying I worked on making the wreath I wanted to hang on it. For the wreath, I used the Styrofoam hoop and reindeer moss from Dollar Tree. I had to cheat and use a wooden “family” sign from Walmart because of course the local Dollar Tree never has everything I need! Grrr…..
Step 2 – Glue on the moss
I hot glued the moss to the wreath all the way around so none would be showing. This part gets super hot! These little rubber fingertips are amazing when working with hot glue. They have really saved a lot of burnt fingers in my house.
Also, this is super messy!! Make sure you have newspaper or something to work on that you can just throw in the trash when you are done.
Step 3 – Glue on the sign
After the moss covered the entire foam wreath form, I hot glued the sign to the moss.
Step 4 – Hang it up
I added a piece of jute string around the top of the wreath so that I could hang it on my farmhouse window.
I love how this farmhouse window turned out! It looks more expensive than it is – it only cost me less than $15 to make! Due to drying times, it took about 4 hours or so to dry.

Thank you!! Yay! I’d happily drag her along with me. ?
Great craft Michelle! We don’t have any Dollar Tree stores near me, but we do have a Five Below!
Thank you! I love Five Below, too! Any time between Thanksgiving and Christmas it’s so packed lines are wrapped around the store. I think it’s time we had another one. ?
The Christmas shopping rush is just exhausting everywhere!
I nominated you for the mystery blogger award
Thank you so much!! ?
You welcome
Very nice!
Thank you! ?
Wow. So creative. So loving it!.
Keep it up ma’am. ❤
Thank you so much!
You are welcome ma’am.?
This is a great idea!
Thank you so much!
I adore your creations. 🙂 You really are gifted to do this. Under $15 is even better! You must give the most special Christmas gifts. Handmade is always the best I think.
Kirkland’s is a neat store, but like you said, yikes, some of their things are amazingly expensive! Plus, you make it better anyway!
Love this Michelle. ♥ Wishing you a beautiful weekend ahead.
Thank you so much!! I wish I could live in Kirkland’s and not get caught. ?
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! ?
Michelle you’re so creative, sorry you burned yourself with the hot glue, ouch. I’m not a do it yourself gal, but I really enjoy seeing how you create things. Love this window Thank you.
Thank you so much! 😀 That means a lot to me!
Very interesting and creative! ?
Thank you!! 😀
Have a blessed day!?
Those are some very cool decorations! A few dollars and a lot of creativity goes very far. And for some odd reason, I like the idea of visiting every Dollar Tree. Haha.
Thank you! At least I’m not alone in my Dollar Tree travels! 😀
Very sweet, perfect for spring!
Thank you! I can’t wait for spring!
Me too!
I want to make one of these but cannot locate the garden edging anywhere. I’ve looked at other edging but it’s just not the same. 🙁
I’m sorry you can’t find it! Our local Dollar Tree had a lot of this last year around spring time, but I haven’t been out to see if they have any this year. Hopefully you can find some soon!
What a great backdrop! I’d never think you made it from dollar store supplies!
Thank you!! 🙂
