How to: DIY HALLOWEEN WREATHS BARGAINISTA STYLE

DIY HALLOWEEN WREATHS BARGAINISTA STYLE

I am a 'bargainista'.  I think from time to time that's where some of my creative ideas come from.

I refuse to be overcharged for something I can make at a fraction of the cost AND have the satisfaction of knowing I made it.    

So here is a tutorial on making simple, 'bargainista' Halloween Wreaths.

Materials needed:

1 or 2- 9' garlands depending on how bulky your garland is (I only needed one for the tute)

1- 12" wire wreath frame or 12" styrofoam wreath

Ribbon for hanging wreath

Halloween decor items: spider rings, mini skeletons (anything that adds spooky) including spider webbing.

Directions:

1.Tie  one end to the wreath form and start wrapping. It's easier to leave the garland on its cardboard.

TIP: if using a foam wreath avoid white background showing through by covering with fabric using hot glue or floral pins or tacks.

                   That was waaaaay too easy!   So you can stop here, but why?!

 Here's where your style comes to play!  You can customize to your taste.

Add as little or as much as you like. Spider webbing, rings, bugs, OR  wire skeleton from middle of wreath.
TIP: non wax dental floss can be substituted for packaged spider webbing.

                                      To hang your wreath tie a knot in about 18" of ribbon

                                                               and place wherever!



Don't they kinda look like spiders and not rats?
