DIY Spider Web Wreath

Supplies:
*Grapevine Wreath-Hobby Lobby
*Spider Web Hanger-Dollar Tree
*Halloween Picks-Dollar Tree
*Happy Halloween Witch Hanger-Dollar Tree
*Rubber Spiders-Dollar Tree
*Hot Glue Gun

All of my supplies for this project came from the Dollar Tree except for the grapevine wreath which I got at Hobby Lobby. So, for under $10 you can create your own super cute, Halloween wreath!

The first thing I did was hot glue my spider web onto my grapevine wreath. Once I had that secured down I started adding in my picks. I had several different picks that I had picked up at different stores but in the end I ended up using the picks I found at the Dollar Tree. Can you tell I kind of like that place a little bit? HaHa! I simply just stuck the stems of the picks into the grapevine wreath. You can also secure them with hot glue if needed.

After I had my picks arranged how I wanted them I took my witch hanger and cut it apart. I then glued the hat and the legs onto my wreath. I saved the middle sign that said “Happy Halloween” to use on a different project but you could certainly stick it on there if you wanted to!

Next I added a few rubber spiders throughout to finish it off! Quick, easy, and budget friendly! Just the way we like it, right?

“Hello” Grapevine Wreath

Hey guys! I decided it was time to go out with the Easter décor and in with the more neutral Spring décor.  I really enjoy creating cute grapevine wreaths for each season/holiday so I always make sure I have a couple on hand at all times!  Here are a list of supplies I used for this one.

  • Grapevine wreath (Hobby Lobby)
  • Wooden “hello” cutout (Hobby Lobby)
  • Floral sprigs of your choice (Hobby Lobby)
  • Apple Barrel paint-I used the Key West color
  • Paint brush
  • Ribbon of your choice for bow (optional)
  • Raffia (optional)
  • Scissors/wire cutters
  • Glue gun-here is my affiliate link for the cordless one I use https://amzn.to/2GNDuXZ

Now for the fun part!  The first thing I did was paint my “hello” so it could be drying while I assemble the rest of the wreath.

Next it’s time to add your floral sprigs to the grapevine wreath. There is no right or wrong way to do this.  I just stick mine directly in the wreath. If need be you can certainly use your glue gun to secure them.

I always like to add a bow to my wreaths but you definitely wouldn’t have to if you didn’t want to! If you have watched any of my videos on my Facebook page you have probably seen me make this bow before. I found my ribbon at the dollar tree but you can use anything you have on hand. I like to use wired burlap as the base of my bow and one or two other types of ribbon.  After you have chosen your ribbon you will want to cut your pieces of ribbon to similar lengths. Usually 4-5 inches is ideal depending on the size of bow desired.

I like to throw in some raffia to add a little something extra to my bow so just grab a bunch and put it right in the center of your bow. You will then take a couple extra strands of the raffia to wrap around the center of your bow to tie it off.  You will want to flip your bow over and tie the extra strands of raffia as tight as you can to form your bow.

Once you have finished tying your bow you can cut off the excess raffia from the back and then flip your bow over and mess with it until you get it how you like it.

Now you are ready to glue on your “hello” and your bow!

DIY Easter Wreath

Who doesn’t love some easy diy holiday décor? This wreath is super cute and very easy to make! I am sharing my live video of me making the wreath as I thought it would be easier for you to watch rather than for me to try and explain. The bow is very easy to make but can be a little tricky to try and explain.

Here are the supplies I used for this project.

*Medium sized grape vine wreath from Hobby Lobby

*Easter egg garland from Hobby Lobby

*Galvanized/wood Easter bunny from Hobby Lobby

*Various Easter ribbon and burlap

*Raffia(optional)
