It's time for my wreath to get a makeover now that we are coming up on Halloween. I stripped my wreath down, but kept the muslin wrapped around it and added 1/4 yard of black halloween lace for $0.80 and two sheets of 9x12 felt for $0.25 each all from JoAnns. The rubber spider was a budget buster at $3 from Walmart.
I started by cutting three longs strips out of my lace, each one was about 3 inches wide. Then I started wrapping. Silly me I ran out of fabric, but I eventually covered that up with a tie to hang it from so it ended up working out.I cut my sheets of felt into one inch strips and used this tutorial to make my flowers. These flowers are a bit more of a pain than the easy peasy fabric rolled flowers, but they created a cool effect that I really wanted for this wreath. The hard part is just having the patience to cut every little strip along the felt one by one.
I can't wait for my little girl's first Halloween.
Oh I missed this one! I need to get to your neck of the woods more often:)
