Haunting Halloween Wreath

October 10, 2016
Welcome to a Haunting Halloween Wreath making sort of day.
I am sharing a few easy steps with you on how to make your own purple and black Halloween wreath.  
It is part whimsy and part haunting, a happy mix of Halloween fun.
Spooky enough to frighten and yet silly enough to spread Halloween cheer.

It's a perfect time of the year to perfect your wreath making skills.

I made this wreath on our back patio in less than two hours.
It is a combination of leftovers from a previous Halloween wreath and some discounted Halloween item from Michaels.

Perfect time to stock up on those seasonal items, as all of the craft stores are moving out their Fall inventory for Christmas.

Just follow these easy steps using the supplies listed above to make your own
Haunting Halloween Wreath.

These is your DIY wreath, so customized it to your preference with colors and styles you like.
Just be very careful with the hot glue gun-I seem to always get a small burn or two.



STEP 1:
Assemble your supplies together in a well lit work area and cover your work space.

  1. This is great it's so festive and those shades of purple with the black is the best. I stopped decorating for Halloween after we moved on the farm because we don't get trick or treaters anymore. Which is probably good keeps me from eating candy, this was always a fun time of year when the kids were home.

  15. Hello dearest Jemma! Pretty colors. I often go for the natural tones and typical tones of autumn, so it's NICE to see what you can do when you think outside the box and go for PURPLE! Lovely and wonderful!

  23. This is such a pretty and festive Halloween wreath, Jemma! Your reminded me that I need to buy a new glue gun. I wanted to make a pine cone wreath this summer and my glue gun broke in the middle of the project and I was so frustrated I threw everything away.

  25. Ooooo, this is so pretty, Jemma. I saw your Purple wreath and had to come right over, as Purple is my favorite color. The pumpkins and the skeletons and the witch's boot are whimsical, and the big Purple bow adds a special touch. You did a fantastic job on this, and love all the colors.
