Easy Halloween Wreath & Pumpkins

October 9, 2012 By Jacque 13 Comments

I have been working on a Halloween wreath for the front door of our home, when I was almost done I realized I didn’t have anything fun like it for inside.  I’ll be showing you the outdoor one later this week, but for now let me show you the super easy one I put together for inside.

I’m always drawn to the feather wreaths but since we do not have any cover over our front door I reserve those for the inside.  Before we get started you will want to make sure you have the following.

Feather Boa

8″ Wreath Form

Dollar Tree Spider Rings

Mod Podge

Glitter (same color as your spiders)

Take your Boa and wrap it around your wreath form.  You can use any kind of wreath from – grapevine, wire, foam it’s really up to you.  Set your wrapped wreath aside.  Take your spider rings (I opted for the Orange ones to contrast with my wreath) put a light coat of Mod Podge on and sprinkle with glitter.  Set aside to dry.

Once your spiders are dry slip them over individual feathers on the wreath.  I had originally thought it would be better to cut the ring loop off but it’s actually a great way to hold them to the wreath.  If you are going to be using this wreath outside or in a high traffic area where the rings might fall or slip I suggest securing them with fishing line or hot glue.

Easy as that you have a fun and inexpensive Halloween Wreath!

Spider Wreath

 Glitter Pumpkin

Did you see my glittery pumpkin in the shot above?  That was almost as easy to make as the wreath, check this out!  They are a regular Dollar Tree pumpkin (that are all the rage this year 🙂)  What you need for this project

Pumpkin

Mod Podge

Glitter (green & orange)

I did my pumpkins two different ways.  The first time I painted the pumpkin in sections with Mod Podge then sprinkled with glitter holding on to the dry stem repeating the process till the entire pumpkin was covered in glitter.  Then set it aside to dry, once the base part was dry I Mod Podged and glittered the stem green.  The second pumpkin I did in a reverse process doing the stem first.  It is really up to you how you want to do it, no way worked out any  better than the other.  Biggest thing is to make sure the Mod Podge is dry on one area before starting the other and then just go with the flow!  Shake off the excess glitter and enjoy!!!

While your at it why not just throw a little glitter on the Dollar Tree Skeleton too!  I have had so much fun with glitter this fall, I never thought I would like it but Mod Podge it’s so easy to use!

    So many Halloween projects, I love it! I was working on a wreath last night with some fake leaves that have a bit of glitter on them, and oh my gosh was it messy! That pumpkin is super cute, but I can’t imagine what my table would look like after making it 🙂

    Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!

      So funny about the glitter! Let’s just say the dogs may or may not have had glitter on them as well!

    Love the feather wreath – and how great that you repurposed a boa! I’m thinking some glitter would really help some of the tired pumpkins in my storage bin — great idea! Thanks so much for linking on Busy Monday.

    I love this wreath. I have a fluffy orange one that is similar, but I love the addition of the spiders on yours! Thanks for sharing on Show & Tell at SNAP!

    I have a real weakness for wreaths, and I love this one. It’s spooky-glam.
    Wish I could have spent more time getting to know you two last weekend at #SoBC2012. I love the idea of a husband-wife blogging team.
