I will show you what items to buy and how to make dollar tree patriotic crafts.
As most of us know by shopping at the Dollar Tree, you can buy some cheap items there. Which helps up to make cute cheap crafts.
I will list items to buy and how to turn it into your patriotic craft under each craft idea.
First Dollar Tree Patriotic Crafts Idea
- Patriotic Frame
- 5×7 off white rustic frame – Dollar Tree
- Patriotic rub off stickers – Dollar Tree
- Scissors – you have at home
- 5×7 picture of you and your family or whomever
Cut the rub off stickers out for each individual picture or words. Leave the backing on the stickers while you cut them out. Do not take the backing off till you are ready to apply to the frame.
It’s a good idea to place all the stickers where you want them to go before taking the backing off. ** It is really easy to mess these stickers up.
So be careful and go slow with removing the back off the stickers. As you press down the first part of the sticker you can slowly move the backing off.
Then press firmly on the sticker rubbing over it to make sure it has rubbed off onto the frame.
finally insert your picture.
Second Patriotic Dollar Tree Crafts Idea

- 5×7 off white rustic frame – Dollar Tree
- 1 – 2 bags of star scatter – Dollar Tree
- 5×7 photo of whomever – one at home or get one printed
- Glue gun and glue sticks or whatever glue you want to use
First you will want to place the stars around on your frame to see how it looks before gluing.
Then you will glue all your stars in place on the frame.
Last all you need to do now is insert your picture.
And there you have a super simple and super cute patriotic star frame.
Third Dollar Tree Patriotic Craft
- Patriotic red basket
- Red basket – comes in a set of 3 – Dollar Tree
- Blue ribbon – Dollar Tree
- White ribbon – Dollar Tree
- Scissors
With your red basket you will weave the ribbon through the holes as seen in the picture.
Cut a piece of blue and white ribbon as if measuring it around the basket giving extra length for error and for tying ends.
You will then choose one color to start with and thread it through the holes till you get to the back.
Tie the end and then tuck it into the holes.
Continue that process till you have the basket how you like it.
Now its ready to be used as decoration or to serve food or items in for your celebration.
Fourth Patriotic item
- White patriotic basket
- White basket – Dollar Tree
- Red, blue and white striped ribbon – Dollar Tree
- Scissors
You will first cut a strip of ribbon about 6 inches long. Then cut other strips matching that length.
Next you will then wrap the ribbon around the top wire and tie it. Look at the picture for reference.
Continue tying on more strips leaving spaces between all around the basket until you are happy with it.
Fifth Patriotic Crafts Idea
- Big Blue patriotic bowl
- Blue bowl at Dollar Tree
- Patriotic ribbon – Dollar Tree
- Red, white, and blue flower garden stake – Dollar Tree
- Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks – or use whatever glue you have.
- Scissors
Measure the ribbon around the big bowl and cut the ribbon giving extra length for error. Or wait to cut till the end.
Then glue on the ribbon going around the entire bowl. Don’t worry if it bunches or gathers it actually gives it a unique look.
Now take apart the flower garden stake. Using pliers or scissors you can pull the medal staple loose. Then pull apart the medal flower.
Use the red and white medal flower to hot glue on the bowl
Now you have a cute patriotic bowl to put in cute decorations, cute rocket or firework party favors, or food items like chips for your party.
Sixth Patriotic dollar tree diy
- Fluffy Star Wreath
- Star wreath frame – Dollar Tree
- Red decorative tulle – Dollar Tree – buy 1 if following my color scheme
- Blue decorative tulle – Dollar Tree – buy 2 if following my color scheme
- White decorative tulle – Dollar Tree – buy 2 if following my scheme
- Scissors
- Ruler – if you want to measure your strips
First you need to cut out about a 6 inch piece of tulle.
Then you will cut that strip of tulle into 4 strips – 6 inches long.
With each strip you will tie it around the wire frame making a knot. Look at the picture for reference.
You will want to put all the red strips on the inside star shape wire.
Then the white on the second inner star shape wire.
And then last all the blue strips on the outer most star wire.
TIP: The tulle that I use has a white dotted spongy material on them. The white material does rub off and can make a mess. So best thing to do is put a blanket on your lap when making it so the mess stays on the blanket. Or make your wreath on a table so it keeps the mess there. When completed the wreath really isn’t messy.
This craft is pretty simple on the items needed and simple in making. The wreath may take a bit of time since you have to cut out all your strips and then tie each strip individually onto the wire.
Kid Tip: If you have children helping you with this craft it would be great for them if needing fine motor work or if learning to tie shoes as they will be making lots and lots of knots all over the wreath.
Seventh Patriotic diy from Dollar Tree
- Sparkly Cute Star Wreath
- Star wire wreath frame – Dollar Tree
- 2 bags of star foam filler – Dollar Tree – 1 bag might be okay depending on how many big stars you want.
- 1 patriotic rectangle table cover – Dollar Tree
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks or other glue you have
- Pipe cleaner or string – Whatever you have available to make a loop at the top of the wreath for hanging.
First off you will want to cut out a star shape from your table cloth to match the size of the inner star. I like the star print area of the table cover for this part as seen in the picture.
Next you will cut out a star shape from your table cloth matching the size of the outer most star frame. I like the look of the red and white stripes from the table cloth for that star.
TIP: It’s better for your star shape to be too big when gluing on rather than too small. After gluing you can trim the excess table cloth star.
After the stars are cut out you can then glue on the smaller innermost star from your table cloth. Turn the wire wreath over (upside down) and put the glue directly on the innermost wire star. Remember when placing the table cloth star onto the glue you will be putting the picture face down onto it.
Then repeat that process but with the outermost star wire which will be your entire star wreath. Don’t forget to turn it upside down and then glue the star on face down. When you turn you star over you should see the picture behind the smallest star and then the other one behind the entire star. Be sure to use the picture as an example.
Cut off any excess table cloth.
Now you can use your glue and glue on your cute foam stars. Lay them out on your wire wreath before gluing so you have your color scheme and sizes the way you want them.
Once all glued down you are almost done.
Last step is to use a pipe cleaner or string and tie it around the top of your wire star so it can be hung.
