In October, you may have noticed these very open, spiky, textured wreaths in the boutiques and craft stores (I found mine at www.terrysvillage.com). They look great displayed on their own, for Halloween, but I also want to show you a few more easy decorating ideas to try:
First, you could simply add a bow (check out my SHOP! and holiday decorating DVD for super simple, designer bow-making instructions, like those shown in this post… using a lasagna box). And before you hang it up, suspend a Halloween decoration first, to line-up with the wreath’s center.
You might also consider looking for super-sized wiggle eyes, in a craft store, and hot gluing them (individually or in pairs) to a few of the wreath branches, spaced evenly apart.
From year to year, you can change the ribbon combinations and maybe add a painted die-cut wood ghost or clip-on accessories like these glitzy spiders, and possibly add a theme-coordinated saying in the center…. wherever your mood takes your creativity! (see below)











Love your ideas! Can I ask where you got the “Hocus Pocus” Book with the Owl on it? I love it!
Hi Jacque… that book is available this year, at Hallmark. It is actually a candy holder and when you open it, it speaks. Here is a link to it: http://hallmark.com/online/offers/in-store-offers/halloween/treat-presenter.aspx
Thank you so much for the info!

Do you sell your wreaths? I love the one with the googly eyes!
I found that I still have one Katie.
