One day as I was looking at some blogs I saw a post from a creative someone who had made a "dollar store Halloween wreath" and I thought, "I wonder if I could make a wreath like that?" So at the dollar store I bought a reed wreath, a florescent orange drawstring laundry bag, a glittery foam "Happy Halloween" and 2 flower picks = $5.00.
Since we have an overabundance of SPANISH MOSS hanging from the very large live oak trees in our yard...I gathered a bunch, zapped it in the microwave to kill any...things...that might be there.
The process:
Hot glue the moss to the wreath
Spray paint it all black (already had the paint)
Cut laundry bag into strips, sew together, serge the edges black
Wrap ribbon around the moss
Make a bow and hot glue it on the wreath
Hot glue the flowers and leaves on too
Hot glue the glittery "Happy Halloween"
Thank you to that creative dollar store girl for a fast and cute idea!
