STEP 1: GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES
For this project you will need:
a grapevine wreath
wooden letters
acrylic craft paint in orange, green and purple
glittery spiders
yarn of choice
(I chose the RED HEART Scrubby Sparkle in Grape color)
STEP 2: PAINT YOUR LETTERS
I chose to paint mine in orange, green and purple, but any Halloween-ish color combo would do. You could even paint them all the same color if you'd prefer.
STEP 3: MAKE THE WEB
Take your yarn and tie it around the wreath in a spoke like pattern. The yarn I used is purple and a little bit fuzzy and sparkly, but any yarn you want to use will be fine. Also, don't worry too much about your web being perfectly symmetrical. It really doesn't matter. I promise. My 4 year old helped me with this one, and I think the irregular pattern kind of adds to it's charm.
(here's the yarn I used, in case you were wondering!)
STEP 4: ASSEMBLE
This is the fun part! Once your painted letters are dry you can play around with the placement of your letters and spiders. Once you have a pattern you like, take your trusty glue gun and glue everything in place.
Halloween will be here before we know it! Cute wreath!
ReplyDeleteThis wreath is brilliant! I love the 'eek'! What a great idea to weave your own spiders web. Thanks for linking up. #MakeItLinky
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at Halloween wreaths in the shops recently but this looks even better. #MakeItLinky
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun, and it looks really effective! Love it! #MakeItLinky
ReplyDeleteSo cute! How do you hang this when you're done? (I'm totally new to wreath making.)
ReplyDeleteYou can attach a little piece of ribbon to the grapevine to make a loop in the back, but for this wreath, I personally have a hanger with a hook that it sits on. Good luck!
DeleteThanks! :)
