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!
