It seems like just about everyone in our neighborhood puts things up for every Holiday. We do for Christmas and sometimes Easter and Thanksgiving but not usually Halloween, except for maybe a pumpkin or two. (Well....I guess we did the first year we were married and lived in Married Student Housing. We even entered a contest for best Halloween decorations that year! Ha!) Anyway, I decided to get a little crafty (actually the last couple days I have been rather crafty--more posts about that to come soon!) and make a wreath.
I had part of a black t-shirt around (because I'd used part of it for another craft I'm going to post about soon) and I cut it into strips. I then tighly wound those around the wreath. (Sorry I forgot to get in process photos...) I also made some flowers out of the jersey material and hot glued those on the wreath. Then I made a cob web out of hot glue. My trick was using a silicon pot holder to put the hot glue on when it was hot and then peel it off when it cooled. My hubby thought I had purchased the cob web, so that's pretty good in my book! :) Then I used some scrap purple sequin fabric to accent. I just put it up on my front door with the exsisting nail (that we didn't put in btw). Festive and affordable! :)
