Instructions For Spider Wreath

So now take all those yummy ingredients and get creative!  There is no right and wrong, just lots of fun to do!  First I spray painted the wreath black (let dry).  Then I used a lot of hot glue to add decorations to the wreath.  One suggestion is to put on those cheap plastic doctor gloves while aging the fabrics.  I put a little bit of black paint on my gloved hand and mushed up the fabric between my hands giving it a decrepit look.  I then tied it around different parts of the wreath tearing the edges for a better effect.  For the sign, I distressed that with a sponge and paint by dragging it across.  I also used glitter around edges too.  I then embellished with spiders and leaves and whatever else looks creepy!  I made this wreath about 6 years ago.  It is still holding up well.  It doesn't matter if it gets old and worn out looking, it just adds to its charm!  I hope you take on a fun and easy project like this! (I have made others and may post them too).  

Have fun!
