DIY Farmhouse Wall Shovel

March 29, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

Welcome to our DIY craft tutorial on how to make a Dollar Tree Farmhouse Shovel Décor/Wreath! If you are someone who loves the farmhouse style, but doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on expensive home decor, then this tutorial is perfect for you. We will show you how to take a simple plastic shovel from Dollar Tree and turn it into a beautiful farmhouse-style decoration or wreath that will add charm and personality to your home.

Farmhouse decor has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. The style is warm and inviting, and it’s a great way to add a touch of rustic charm to your home. However, buying farmhouse decor can be expensive, and not everyone has the budget to buy expensive home decor. That’s why this tutorial is perfect for those who want to add farmhouse charm to their home decor on a budget.

The Dollar Tree is a great place to find affordable items that can be used for DIY projects. This tutorial uses a plastic shovel from Dollar Tree, which is an inexpensive and readily available item. With some paint, ribbon, and other simple supplies, you’ll be able to create a beautiful farmhouse-style decoration or wreath that will add charm and personality to your home.

This tutorial is easy to follow and can be seen on our other website craftbits.com,

DIY Farmhouse Christmas Bells Review – An Easy Rustic Ornament You Can Make on a Budget

There is something very satisfying about a Christmas craft that looks far more expensive than it actually is, and these DIY Farmhouse Christmas Bells definitely fall into that category. This project takes a very simple base, a large plastic cup, and transforms it with nautical rope, ribbon, small silver bells, and boxwood sprigs into a rustic hanging decoration with lovely farmhouse charm. It is a clever upcycling-style project that feels festive without being fussy.

What I really like about this one is that it gives that high-end holiday decor look without asking you to buy anything too complicated. If you have ever spotted oversized rustic bell decorations in stores and thought, “That is cute, but I am not paying that much for it,” this is exactly the kind of craft that scratches that itch. The tutorial wraps rope around the outside of the cup, leaves extra rope for hanging, then finishes the piece with a simple bow and bits of greenery.

It is also the sort of project that suits a lot of decorating styles. Even though it is called farmhouse, it would work just as nicely in a coastal Christmas theme, a neutral holiday scheme, or even tucked into a wreath or entryway display. The rope gives it texture, the ribbon softens it, and the little bells add just enough festive detail without making it feel overdone.

Another thing I appreciate is that this is not an intimidating holiday craft. You do not need special cutting machines, sewing skills, or a giant stash of supplies to make it work. The materials list is short, and the method is straightforward enough for a relaxed afternoon craft session. It is very beginner friendly, which is always a win during the busy holiday season when patience can be in a bit short supply and glitter somehow ends up on absolutely everything.

This would be a lovely project for:

  • front door decor
  • Christmas tree ornaments
  • mantel styling
  • gift toppers for oversized presents
  • rustic holiday centerpieces

I can also see these working beautifully in a pair or trio, especially since the tutorial suggests repeating the process for a second bell and even mentions making a third. Grouped together, they would have much more visual impact and give that styled, boutique-look finish people love at Christmas.

For crafters who enjoy budget Christmas decorating ideas, DIY farmhouse ornaments, or easy rustic Christmas crafts, this one is worth a look. It is creative, achievable, and has that nice balance of homemade charm and polished finish.

My take? This is a sweet and practical holiday project that turns humble supplies into something festive and display-worthy. It is especially appealing if you love neutral Christmas decor, rope accents, and crafts that look good without costing a fortune.
