My First Crafted Halloween Wreath

So I decided to be crafty this past weekend especially since I had a great discount from Michaels Friends & Family weekend. Its fun for the whole month of October. Here are the items I bought in order to make my spooky wreath:


1. Wood wreath or you can get any wreath you like
2. Ball of Yarn (any color) I choose lime green so it can stand out
3. Wood letter to spell B-O-O
4. Black Paint & Glitter paint (you alway need some glitter!)
5. Glitter spiders or any decor you like to use
6. Black thin wire
7. Glue Gun


First, I wrapped some yarn real tightly close together around the entire wreath-it did take a minute, but when you are watching football like I was or any movie it goes by pretty fast. While I was wrapping, I went ahead and painted the boo letters black and let dry. Once I finished both the wreath and letters, I used a hot glue gun to paste the letters on the yarn. I punched some little designs out of paper (which I painted purple glitter since I was out of purple card stock paper). Than I made a little design with the thin wire to make it look like a spider's web and punch the paper through just to give it a little decor and than hot glued the spiders around the wreath and what did I get?


My first Crafted Halloween Wreath for my door! Happy Halloween!
