Halloween Wreath
Use this step by step picture tutorial to learn how to make a Halloween Wreath.
I made this cute black burlap Halloween wreath and it is so easy to make and the turn out stinkin cute! {see my Christmas version here}
Halloween Wreath Tutorial
Supplies
- 1.25 yards of black burlap cut into 1″x16″ strips {i used a rotary cutter, but if you want to prevent most of the loose strands, you could use this burlap cutting technique.}
- 14″ foam wreath ring
- black paint {i used craft paint, but spray paint would work, too}
- scissors or rotary cutter
paint your wreath ring black to hide the green under the burlap.
when the paint dries, tie the burlap strips around the ring with a double knot.
overlap the strips a little and bunch them together so you have a full wreath.keep adding strips and arranging until you like the overall look of the wreath.
*note: if you have to untie a strip, don’t plan to use it again. the burlap will basically be shredded.*
embellish with your SPOoKIEST finds.
i used wooden letters, painted them black, and then mod podged Halloween paper to them.
and there you have one easy, fun Halloween wreath!
sorry for all the super early Halloween posts, but i really want Halloween to come quickly because that means the baby will be here!! :o)
*Davis told me to take my Boo wreath down today. he said people would think i was weird for having it up so early. hehehe it made me laugh!*>added later: In regards to how I attached the Wood BOO letters to the wreath, I simply hot glued them on. To do that, I pulled the ends of the burlap ties back so that I could hot glue the letters to the flat portion of the burlap ties that go around the wreath form. I glued in several different spots to secure the letters.<

A link to your blog was posted at Scrapadilly and when i saw it was Halloweeny I had to pop in. I love the wreath so much! Your blog is awesome and i plan on returning to see what scrappy goodness is next.
I love Halloween. I think it's totally great to start hanging up the Halloween decor after Labor day!
If I paint it orange & use orange burlap then I can switch the Thanksgiving stuff for Hallowe'en. (Canadian Thanksgiving is in mid-October). Thanks for the idea!
Thanks so much for posting the how-to on the boo wreath. I just love it.
Your kitchen looks great to me. Good luck on the sale.
Thanks so much for all you do.

I told my husband I wanted to put halloween stuff up and he said "no way, I'll just take it back down!" Men.

I think that is absolutely awesome. And it sounds pretty easy. Great job. I would totally like to use the idea.
I am also wondering how you attached the "boo". I am about mid project. :) Thanks for the tutorial!
Love the wreath, have mine done, but how did you attach the Boo? Hoping to find out soon, giving one to my Mom as her birthday gifts. Thanks- Liz
Awesome tutorial, I made one too!!

As for those asking, I just hot glued the BOO to the wreath after I was done. I hope its strong enough :)
Where have you been all my life!
I just found your blog through your eighteen25 post about this wreath, which by the way, this is absolutely adorable!!! :o)
Love your blog! I'm now a follower
I ventured out yesterday in hopes to make one of these fabulous wreaths! (Such a cute idea!) But neither Joanns or Walmart had the wreath or black burlap. I was so bummed! Where did you get your supplies? Thanks so much.
Did you ever find the black burlap? I want to make this, but I don’t want to run into a dead end like you!

Thanks for sharing this cute idea. I just finished mine last night… and of course had to blog about it!
