BOO!
Okay, so my neighbors have really gotten into the Halloween decorating this year. I’m not so much into the fake spider webs and gianormous ghosts and zombies hanging from trees- it’s all a little sadistic for my taste… I prefer something less gory and more fun and crafty! So, I decided to make a little wreath for my front door in Halloween colors. Behold:

(sorry for the crummy lighting, I just couldn’t get a crisp great picture, but you still get it!)
So if you want to make your own, it’s pretty simple, here goes:
- Wrap foam wreath in ribbon (I chose black).
- Attach little do-das and such to one side (I chose a black small feather boa and some glittery balls)
- Make the “flowers” for the other side:
Making the flowers was pretty easy. I started with 3 silk gerbera daisies (2 black and 1 orange). Added some ribbon curls onto the back and front, a little round cut out of some scrapbook paper and bam! On one I also added some of the leftover boa to give a little variation.
4. Add some ribbon and tie in a bow to the door knocker or wreath hook!
Since it's not waterproof in any way, I put it between my main door and storm door. I wouldn't suggest hanging this where it can be rained on...

Pretty easy craft! I think I’m going to try something similar in Christmas colors when the time comes.
