Happy Halloween

It’s my favorite time of the year!

There’s nothing like seeing all the excitement! I love the spooky, the goofy, the young, and the young at heart!

If you’re anywhere near my neck-of-the-woods, stop by for a treat :)

My wreath was made out of coffee filters and decorated with some May Arts ribbon, Pink Paislee tinsel ribbon, and some die-cuts (Sizzix Halloween Shadows Tim Holtz Alterations). I can take off the Halloween portion to easily convert it for another holiday…like Thanksgiving!

It was even easier to put together!

1. Create the coffee filter wreath. I used the following tutorial by The Frugal Homemaker.

2. Next, die cut the Halloween Shadows Dies with black textured cardstock and patterned paper that matches your decor. I layered the patterned paper “trick or treat” with a black cardstock “trick or treat”.

3. Choose a wide ribbon, such as this may arts wired burlap ribbon, to create a cascading ribbon along the side. Adhere the valleys of the folds with a glue dot.

4. Now, just take the Pink Paislee Tinsel Ribbon or any other tinsel garland, and weave it in and out of the cascading burlap ribbon.

5. Create a decorative bow from the die-cut trick-or-treaters, a bow made from the black & ivory wide striped ribbon, and the layered “trick or treat” sentiment.

5. Adhere layers to the wreath with a glue dot and use a T-pin to combine all the layers.

6. Last, just adhere your two small die-cut bats to the top portion of the burlap ribbon.

I used easy to remove adhesives so that I can repurpose the wreath for Thanksgiving & Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!
