Hello everyone and welcome back!!
Yes, this is another tutorial on how to make your own festive wreath! If you thought our Festive Fall Wreath Tutorial was cheap and easy. Then you won't believe how much we spent on the materials we used to create this "Spooky Halloween Wreath". Are you ready for me to blow your mind? Let's start...
We usually cover our front door with a Light Up Grim Reaper that also makes a scary noises every time you push the button. Unfortunately, we've had the door cover for some time now and it was time to replace it.
Our daughter expressed her desire to do a Halloween wreath instead of a door cover and who was I to say "no" to such request!
She searched Pinterest for a while, and kept coming back to a few designs but she couldn't decide which one she wanted. Therefore, we decided to combine all designs into one!
Below are her two favorite designs:
Spooky Halloween Wreath:
3 Spools of Bronze Ribbon
2 Bushes of Black Roses with Orange Glitter
1 Pack of 6 Glittered Spiders
2 Green Glittered Twirls
1 Medium Black Crow
1 16" Wreath Foam Form
Wire Cutters;
Scissors;
Glue Gun
Step 1:
Start by wrapping the bronze ribbon all around your wreath form;
Apply hot a few drops of hot glue to keep the end of ribbon in place;
I used approximately 2.5 spools of ribbon;
Cut the stems of the roses, make sure you leave approximately 1 to 1.5 inches of wire;
Once you've determine where you want to position the flowers;
Smear a bit of hot glue at the bottom of the roses;
Quickly puncture the ribbon using the wire and push all the way thru;
Repeat the above steps until your have utilized all the roses.
Hot glue the little creepy spiders onto the wreath;
Step 4:
This is going to be a bit difficult, you will need an extra pair of hands to help you hold the
wreath while you glue the crow onto it;
Remove the crows feet, they will only get in your way, plus the bird will be more
secure if you glue it directly onto the wreath.
Step 5:
Carefully separate each twirl from the main stem;
Find the perfect spot before you glue them onto the wreath;
THE FINAL RESULT!
And here it is! Our Spooky Wreath all finished ...
