Happy Halloween: DIY Halloween Wreath!

Hello my fellow crafters!

Hope you all are enjoying this chilly weekend! So as the title states, I'm bringing you another Halloween DIY! I know Halloween is now over, but I figured I would still post it so that people can make it for next year. It only takes about 20-30 minutes. It is also fairly cheap. The stuff I did have to buy I bought at the dollar store or at Michaels. Let's get into it, shall we!

Things You Need:
- a styrofoam circle wreath (I got mine at Michaels with a 50% coupon - I paid $5 instead of $9)
- a crow figurine (I got mine at Dollar Tree - It had metal wire coming out of its feet)
-black crepe paper
-a glue gun and glue gun glue sticks
-a piece of cardstock
-computer and printer

Step 1:
Unstick the end of the crepe paper and put some hot glue on the end. Stick it to the styrofoam wreath. Very carefully, start wrapping the crepe paper around the wreath covering up the green styrofoam. If you are wrapping tightly, be careful. I ripped it a couple of times. When you are completely done wrapping, put some glue on your other end and glue it down.

Step 2:
Stick the crow figurine into the styrofoam. He may not be really sturdy so you may want to think about hot gluing his feet to the wreath. Wait for it to dry.

Step 3:
In a Word document (or a word processing software similar to Word), find a font and font size you like and type out "Happy Halloween!" It can be whatever you like but i chose to go with Happy Halloween. I also made it so the background colour was orange. Print that out once you are satisfied with it.

Step 4:
Glue your sign to the wreath. I glued the front side of the sign to the backside of the wreath. Be sure to leave space for your hook or over-the-door wreath hanger. If you want, you can add a bow with some of the crepe paper. All you do is cut about 3-5 inches of crepe paper. Then you glue down the ends so they meet in the middle. Then glue and wrap a small piece of crepe paper around the middle so that the bow bunches. Next, cute a longer piece of crepe paper. Fold in half. This will be the hanging ribbon part. Cut a upside down "V" into both ends. Glue it to the bottom of the wreath. Then glue the ribbon on top of what you just glued down.
