Do you love tropical, beachy, or coastal decor? Then, head to your local Dollar Tree and pick up a starfish wreath form to make a tropical woven starfish wreath.
On my recent visit to the Dollar Tree, I knew I had to pick up the starfish wreath form. At the time, I had no clue what I was going to do with it, but it was a must-have moment. And if you want this wreath form, I suggest you head to your local Dollar Tree ASAP because I see this selling out.
Tropical Woven Starfish Wreath
Supplies
All the supplies can be purchased at the Dollar Tree, but I chose to buy the twine at my local craft store. This is because I used almost an entire 200 ft. roll of twine and my local store was out of twine.
- starfish wreath form
- twine – when buying twine, try to purchase a thicker twine. This will help fill in the form quicker.The one I used is a test strength of 100 lbs. and is about 1/8″ wide (try to get one slightly larger).
- scissors
- hot glue gun/glue sticks
- clips/mini clothes pins – I used mini clothes pins and they constantly broke. I suggest using mini metal clips.
- tweezers – get one with a pointed tip.
- tape
- optional – decorative shells, starfish, sea glass, etc…

How long did it take you to complete the entire project?
I didn’t really time myself, but it can be done in a full day if you don’t have anything else to do. Otherwise, it will take 2-3 days of a few hours at a time.
Love the work you put into this. I saw the video.
Thank you! I’m glad you watched it. I’m trying to get better at videos, but it’s a slow process 🙂
Your starfish wreath is gorgeous. I would love to make one.
Thank you. I plan on adding more things on it a little later.
