Halloween Wreath

Happy Halloween!


I had an old pair of wings, my hubby plucked all the feathers off.
I just knew I had to use them.

I was inspired by this wreath-----

 

But I knew I wanted to use my feathers.

Bought a twig wreath from hobby lobby - $4.99 w/ a 40% off coupon. = $3

I couldn't decide what exactly I wanted to do or how to even do my wreath.

I knew I had a lot of fall leaves and flowers I didn't much care for anymore at home.

I left Hobby Lobby with nothing but the twig wreath.

I looked through all of my old flowers and  halloween stuff. and found a few things I could use.

My girlfriend hosts a fall craft party every year so I gathered up my stuff and headed on over.

I spray painted the flowers black and a couple black and then red. My friend organized the feathers amazingly!

This is how it turned out: 

 

 

My friend Kathy, who hosts the most awesome craft nights ever!

Burlap Wreath with video

I love doing crafts, especially easy ones like this burlap wreath!

First start with a wire wreath. I used the 20 inch from hobby lobby. It was $3.99 and I used a 40% off coupon. 

 

It takes 2 spools of burlap ribbon 15 feet long. You could use more if you want it fluffier. 

Hobby Lobby had the spools on sale for 50% at $4.99

I bought some random picks that I liked. Depending on which holiday the options are endless. 

I picked Pumpkins, a pear, a flower, and the spike-y feather like things. The flower and the pear were pricy. ($4.99 :) but you can use the 40% off coupon or shop just after the season ends).

Start by looping the ribbon around the middle wire- you can secure it with a twist tie. I didn't have any so it really isn't necessary. 

then begin looping the burlap through the wire. Do it randomly so that the wire won't show.

 

Materials: 

20in wire wreath

2 spools 15 ft burlap

4-6 picks to add 

Hot Glue Gun

Total Cost- about $20 

Total Time- about an hour and a half. 

This started out as a Happy Birthday  gift to my girlfriend. 

Instead of a general gift, I put all the ingredients for a burlap wreath in a gift bag. We had a girls craft night, filled with wine, cheese, pita cracker's and hummus. I bought myself duplicate items and we started crafting. It didn't take long to figure out that we needed 2 spools of burlap. So we worked on hers because I wanted her to have it. :) 

She hung hers on her living room mirror above her mantle so that she could enjoy it at all times.... Love that! 

Here is my little helper Gracie & some added photos!
