My sister and I are sort of in cahoots with decorating for Halloween this year. We both decided that we need to start doing more seasonal decorating around the house. Now that our kids are getting a little older and can appreciate some “spooky” things, this is really fun! First, I decided to whip up a festive wreath for my front door. Here’s how to make a DIY Halloween Wreath.
Supplies Needed:
- any wreath form in the size you like
- scrap fabric (I used striped)
- spider from the dollar store
- ribbon to hang wreath from
- fabric glue
I already had the wreath form, the fabric scraps, and the black ribbon. Therefore, this wreath ended up costing me $1 (the cost of the spider)! Don’t forget to get creative with what you already have.
How to Make the DIY Halloween Wreath
Simply wrap scraps of fabric around the wreath form and adhere them with fabric glue on the back. I was working with stripes, so I did have to make sure the scraps where all going in the same direction. It’s my nature to just eyeball and I made sure the wreath form was completely covered. Mostly, I was just wanting to “whip this up”, so I wasn’t concerned with perfection. I love the dramatic look of the black and white stripes.
Finally, once the fabric glue was dry, I secured the spider to the wreath by wrapping black thread around the body of the spider. If you don’t care about reusing any of this, you can simple hot glue the spider to the wreath form.
I love black and white, so this wreath speaks to me! And it looks dramatic from the street!
This DIY Halloween wreath is so simple to create! I am not done with this door yet thought. A few more creatures have graced it since I put up the wreath, so stay tuned for that!
I Lurve this kind of project 🙂 I've been using scraps all over the place lately. Please consider sharing this at my party 🙂
This is so fun! I love the big ugly spider! I would love for you to share this on my Linky Party going on now – Blog Stalking Thursday.
I love this wreath so much! The black and white stripes are so fun and the spider…well I hate spiders but it really adds to the wreath! Thanks for sharing.
Very cute wreath! I love that you used things you already had on hand!! Can't beat the price! 🙂

Awesome recycle with a perfect Halloween fabric! My weekly linky party–One Creative Weekend–has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit "One Creative Weekend" (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.) There are two categories—one for Halloween and one for everything else.
This is so cute! And spooky! 🙂 haha You should enter your photos from this project into Craftbaby's Halloween Decor Challenge!
