Halloween Wreath

Every fall I see so many cute wreaths in the stores to decorate your door on Halloween. But those store-bought creations usually come with a price tag that begs the question.. $40 for a Halloween decoration? That's crazy! This Halloween I decided to make my own door decor for half the price and I controlled exactly what it would look like. Here is a very easy tutorial on the wreath that will be hanging on my door all October long.

Final product:




Materials:
  • wreath
  • spider web
  • plastic spiders
  • flowers garland
  • wooden or cardboard letters
  • paint
  • paintbrush
Step 1: Start with a wreath. I got mine from Michaels for about $10.
Step 2: Add dollar store spider web to the wreath, wrapping it around the circle.


Step 3: Wrap black flowers (or whatever else you desire) to the wreath, following the spider web. I purchased a garland of sparkly, black flowers from Michaels for about $5.
Step 4:  Turn wreath over so the side that would be touching the door is face up. Stretch more of the spider web across the back of the wreath.
Step 5: Turn the wreath right side up and add dollar store spiders to the web you created inside the wreath.
Step 6: Add your painted letters to your wreath by adhearing them with hot glue
Step 7: Attach to your door on October 1st and enjoy!
