Summer DIY: Hanging Frame Decor with Pom Pom Bumblebees

Are you looking for an affordable way to brighten up your space? This cheerful flower hanging, made from a repurposed Dollar Tree frame, is a delightful and budget-friendly project that can be assembled quickly with materials you may already have at home. Best of all, the pom-pom bumblebees add an adorable touch of whimsy!


Video tutorial

 Materials Needed:

  • 1 wooden Dollar Tree frame (mine has a beaded hanging section)
  • Small yellow craft pom poms
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Decorative cardboard or craft paper (I used brown)
  • Faux flowers (great chance to reuse extras from past crafts!)
  • White paint marker
  • Black permanent marker
  • A pencil for tracing
  • Scissors
  • Optional: Stamp and ink (I used “hello friend” for a finishing touch)

1. Prepare Your Frame

 Start by removing any backing or embellishments you won't use. My frame already had a beaded hanger, which I kept for added charm.

2. Trace and Cut

Place your frame on the craft paper and trace around the opening with a pencil. Carefully cut out the shape with scissors—this will be the decorative background.


3. Attach the paper

Use hot glue to stick the paper to the back of your frame. Press down firmly to make sure it’s secure.

4. Add Floral Flair 

Gather your faux flowers and arrange them across the paper. I reused flowers from previous projects—this is a perfect opportunity to declutter your stash and give new life to lovely pieces!


5. Create Pom Pom Bees 🐝

 

To make the bumblebees:

 

1. Glue several yellow pom poms in and around the flowers.

2. Use a white paint marker to create simple wing shapes on the pom poms.

3. Once the paint is dry, add small black marks with a permanent marker to mimic stripes.

I used a black ink stamp that reads “Hello Friend” and placed it on craft paper to complete the look. You could personalize it even more with your favorite saying!


 Final Thoughts

This quick DIY project was created using only leftover supplies and a bit of imagination. It's a fun way to celebrate summer, repurpose crafting materials, and add a personal touch to your home decor. You can hang it near a sunny window, give it as a gift to a friend, or include it in a seasonal gallery wall. Wherever you display it, it’s sure to bring smiles!
