How To Make DIY Dollar Tree Grinch Wreath
Step 1. Start by cutting off one of the ends of the scarf where the pom pom ball is attached. This will give you a clean edge to work with when wrapping the candy cane form.
Step 2. Slide the scarf over the candy cane wreath form, making sure it covers the entire form. Trim off any excess fabric that extends beyond the form for a neat appearance.
Step 3. On both ends, fold over the excess fabric and secure with hot glue. Be careful with your fingers as the hot glue can sometimes seep through the fabric!
Step 4. Flip the green faux fur over to the back side and trace your hand on it, making the fingers more pointed than a normal hand. I used a thin Sharpie marker, but a pen would work just as well.
Step 5. Using a razor blade or x-acto knife, carefully score the faux fur backing only – you don’t want to cut through the fur itself. This may take a few swipes. Then flip the fabric over and gently push the faux fur pieces together to create realistic finger shapes.
Step 6. Add a generous amount of hot glue to the end of the wreath form and press the faux fur hand firmly on top, making sure it’s securely attached.
Step 7. Cut the bottom white section from a Santa hat to create the jacket cuff – I eyeballed about 7 inches in length. Hot glue this white piece around the end of the candy cane form, covering the base of the green faux fur. Finally, hot glue two of the green fingers together with the ornament string positioned in the middle. This will secure the ornament in the Grinch’s grasp and complete your festive wreath!

- Using the razor blade or x-acto knife score the faux fur so you are only cutting the backing. This can take a few swipes across the fabric. Then flip over the fabric and push the faux fur together to make it look like fingers
