15 Crafts Using Mop Heads

September 27, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

When it comes to DIY projects and handmade decorations, it’s important to be creative and budget-friendly. And that’s where using mop heads comes in. These versatile and affordable supplies can be found at your local dollar store, making it a great option for those who want to save money on crafting materials. Not only that, the pandemic has led to a decrease in store availability, causing a rise in alternative sources for supplies. Mop threads, strings, and whole mops have become popular choices for their natural, thick yarn-like appearance.

In this roundup of 15 different mop head projects, you will find a variety of ideas to use these affordable materials in your own DIY creations. From seasonal decorations such as mop head pumpkins and Christmas gnomes, to unique home decor pieces, the possibilities are endless. Each of the projects includes detailed tutorials and step-by-step instructions to help you create your own mop head masterpieces.

Mop heads are a great option for those who love to craft, but may not have a large budget for supplies. Not only do they provide a unique texture and appearance, but they are also easy to work with and can be used in a variety of different ways. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, these mop head projects are perfect for adding a personal touch to your home decor.

So, why not get creative and start experimenting with mop heads today? With a little bit of time and effort, you can create stunning DIY decorations that will impress your family and friends. The possibilities are endless, and you never know what you can create until you try! So, go ahead and give these mop head projects a shot – you’re sure to love the results!

These particular mop heads are generally bought from the dollar tree and at just $1.25 ( prices went up in 2022) using these dollar tree mops is a great way to save money on your DIY projects.

Crafters are well known for being frugal when it comes to crafting, not because we are poor, but crafting is expensive, so being able to save money on supplies here and there is a great way to keep on budget.

2020 also saw a decrease in stores being opened due to the pandemic and hence a need to find alternative sources for supplies became very popular.  Mop threads, mop strings, and whole mops are perfect for achieving a natural thick yarn effect.

Sometimes these mops can look too perfect, especially when using them for Gnomes, my suggestion is to wash your mop strings in a bucket of warm soapy water and hang them outside to dry, making sure it is hanging so that the threads dry straight. it is a great way to give a gnome a more rustic look.  You can also dye mop heads to create different colors, and use RID fabric dye the same way you would dye fabric.  Make sure to wring out the mop well so the dye does not bleed down your walls or door.
