As you all know, I love fall and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays as well. Ok let's be serious, I love ALL holidays. Any excuse to get dressed up or decorate the house is a-okay by me!
I had a fall wreath up on the front door but when I put out all of my Halloween decorations, I decided I needed a Halloween wreath to follow suit. Since it would only be up for a month, I wanted to keep it fairly low budget.
So I decided to wander the aisles of the Dollar Tree and this is what I whipped up! I had so many people ask me how I made it so here is a tutorial. Super easy and cheap and the best part? No glue or tape or anything other than these supplies! Have fun :)

| Everything was $1! Can't beat a DIY for $7 :) |
 |
| Tuck an end of the garland into the wood |
 |
| Pull through and tuck securely under |
 |
| Wrap garland around, moving in and out of the center |
 |
| Layer 1 |
 |
| Tuck a piece of the wire garland in the wood and secure |
 |
| Wrap garland moving in and out of center |
 |
| Layer 2 |
 |
| Layer 3 |
 |
| Skeleton garland |
 |
| I tied a knot and then strung it along the wreath so it was tight and they were all hanging down in the same direction |
 |
| Find an area that has a gap and stick the flower through...it should be hidden on the other end by the garland |
 |
| Hang the sign |
 |
Hang the wreath...Voila!
Materials:
Wood wreath
3 types of garland
Skeleton garland
Black flowers
Halloween sign |

cute wreath! I used the same Happy Halloween sign and skeletons on one of my Halloween wreaths, and I used the black roses on my other Halloween wreath. Great minds think alike! 'd love for you to share this and any other crafts at my new linky party, Submarine Sunday. I hope you'll stop by!

Your wreath turned out so fun! I love the colors and how simple it was to make! NICE JOB!!
ReplyDeleteI love Dollar Tree! I think I need to pay better attention to what they have though. I can't believe you got all the supplies there (especially the base of the wreath). I love a good deal!
