We visited Michaels a few weeks ago, and I was in awe of all the great Halloween decor. Anyone who knows me knows I love to be hands on. I am sure you see where this is going. Yep. I bought a bunch of supplies, and decided it would be a weekend project to create a Halloween wreath. Of course the first project was to locate the glue gun. For a organized home, we sometimes live in chaos. 
I purchased all of the items above at Michaels on a special coupon weekend. It provided hours of family entertainment and worth every dollar spent. Not only did we create our own Halloween decor, but memories as well.
Initially I thought using the entire flower would look best. However, once I attempted it, I realized the flowers really stuck out too much and I wasn’t loving the look. So instead I decided to pull the flower petals apart and use the flowers in bunches instead. 
After pulling apart the flowers, I began to glue, I am not one for staging flowers. I think when creating my own project for our own use that is I get more creative when I don’t stage. Now if this was an order I for sure would have staged and prepped. 
By the time I got to the pumpkins, I realized I was running out of flowers! More on that in a minute. I glued thin sticks into the styrofoam pumpkins to connect them to each other and the wreath itself. I knew gluing the pumpkins would take up some space so I did this before filling this section with flowers. Still not enough flowers on hand. This is where the orange and black boa came in. I knew I was holding it aside for a reason. I literally cut it into pieces, dabbed a piece with hot glue and added it to any spaces within the wreath.
I think the orange from the boa gives the wreath a pop of color, the husband doesn’t agree. He is not a fan. What do you think? What DIY project are you creating for Halloween?
