Halloween Wreath

Isn’t this gorgeous!?  I found the ‘how to’ for this super simple tulle Halloween wreath on the ourbestbites website. (You can go there and check it out, but you’ve got to promise to come back, ok?)  Here’s what you need:
 An 8″ styrofoam wreath
3 spools of black tulle
Various faux flowers – I used purple mums, black roses and orange raniculus
Feathery picks – love the purple fuzz and green iridescence

So to begin with, cut lengths of tulle, mine were about 18″ long.  My wreath used about 2 and 1/2 spools of tulle.  Start tying and knotting the tulle strips around your wreath.  What I did was, I layed two strips of tulle together and tied it around the wreath, and then used a single strip of tulle on the next tie. So there was a double thickness of tulle, every other tie…make sense?  Single tulle strip, then double tulle strip, then single tulle strip, then double, etc. Squish the strips together tightly, so you can’t see the green wreath peeking out!

Now, fire up your glue gun.  Either cut off or pop off the flower heads from the picks.  Lay the flowers and feathers around the wreath until you like the arrangement.  Then start gluing them on.

Simply beautiful!
