     Recently, when Maddy and I took a trip to DollarTree, we found so many spooky and idea inspiring products for Fall and specifically for Halloween!  When I saw these sparkly, light-up owls, I knew that I wanted to put one on a wreath for my door. 

    I started with this mesh ribbon in orange and purple.  There is even instructions inside the label to use it for a wreath.  I'll show you my way and how I blinged it out! 

Supplies:

1 Wire Wreath Form
​4 rolls mesh decorative
1 package chenille stems
items to decorate your wreath, 3 larger ones and some small spiders.
​1 Glue gun and hot glue
​Black thread

    To begin, use pipe cleaners cut in half to form the mesh bows and attach them to the wreath.  Click on the pictures below to see how I formed the bows.

Cut a strip of the mesh ribbon about this length. I didn't measure exactly, I just eyeballed it.

Fold both ends to the middle, overlapping them.

Bunch the overlapped part up in the middle, forming a bow shape.

Twist a pipe cleaner around the middle and tighten. Use the tails to attach the bow to the wire wreath form.

    I alternated the orange and purple colors around the wreath to fill it out.  The mesh poofs out really nicely to give a fuller effect. 

    As you can see, I used 3 large items and then some small spiders to decorate the wreath.  Besides the owl, I used:

• light-up lanterns
• Skulls with led, color changing eyes!
• I used spiders from Dollar Tree, but I am not finding them for you online.  You may have to go into the store to find them.  ​
  

These spiders that I used came 6 in a package.

    The owl, the skull and the lantern all had their light switches on the bottom so that they are easy to switch on when I want the wreath to light up. I attached them with a glue gun, smooshing them down against the wire wreath form.  Then, I also tied them on with black thread to add extra support. I simply glued on the spiders. 
    Et, VOILA!  A fun and spooky wreath all ready for Halloween!  It was inexpensive and looks pretty great if I say so myself! 
    If you aren't into owls, skulls or lanterns, Dollar Tree has a ton of items to choose from! Let me know what you use!

SPOOKY!
