I love Halloween.
I have been daydreaming how I would like to decorate our home for this great month. I don't usually care for most store wreaths because they are expensive + not quite my taste.
This year I was determined to make my own for the same price as a store bought one. The total cost for this project was about $20 + I am quite happy with it. It can also be changed year to year with different accessories.
Supplies
Grapevine wreath
Spider Webbing
Black spray paint
Spiders + accessories
Instructions
Spray paint the wreath black. I used a semi gloss and love how it looks shiny, but feel free to use any type.
Let dry and continue spray painting it black until fully coated.
After it has dried + the paint has set, you can start decorating it. I took the faux spider web and stretched it across the back of the wreath then added some spiders. Then I put some webbing on the front and attached the rest of my critters.
I hope you enjoy it + consider making your very own wreath this year!

ReplyDeleteI made a wreath a few years ago but while i was strolling through michael's i found a wreath that i fell in love with (and it works for all of fall). I've got a few things to make it more "Halloween-y" but i love it just as is. :)
I LOVE Halloween as well! :)
It is the best! I am jealous that you found an awesome wreath, you will have to share a picture of it.

ReplyDeleteAh the joy of creating...doesn't it feel good?

DeleteMy name is Cecilia Benjamin and I am writing from the city of Denver Colorado. Am really grateful and thankful for what Dr Jekawo, a man with herbalism knowledge, has done for me and my family. I Was having HERPES for good three years with no solution, the diseases almost took my life because I lost my partner and I was also losing lots of money for medication, but one faithful day I came across a testimony about this great man so I decided to give it a try and to God be the glory he did it. I received my herbal medicines through dhl, he cured me of my diseases and also cured my cousin's prostate cancer. I am so happy and so pleased to Write about him today. If you need his help in any health or spiritual related issue, reach out to his email address drjekawo@gmail.com. He has cures for other deadly diseases like Diabetes, Hiv/Aids, Hepatitis,love marriage, Osteoarthritis,Multiple Chronic Conditions,Cardiovascular Disease, Dementia,Alzheimer's disease,Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,Chronic kidney disease, and Cancer. Dr Jekawo provides a total cure.
ReplyDeleteI guessed this is the least I could do to help.
