I am playing catch-up on all of the projects I have been working on for the past 6 months- here is a cute Halloween wreath I made last October with a How To. :)

I love the colors of Halloween. I can't get enough of the purple, black, lime green, and neon orange everywhere! I just love the emotions and feelings of this spooky holiday! So when I found a Pinterest board devoted just to DIY wreaths, and then a Spiky Halloween Wreath! Woot! I just knew I had to make it!

So I headed to Michaels and picked up:

• a circle Styrofoam wreath
• a container of foam glitter vase fillers 
• 300 toothpicks 
• a can of black spray paint
• some super cute Halloween ribbon.

Cost for everything with my coupons was around $10.00.

Assembly was pretty simple. First I placed all 300 toothpicks in the Styrofoam wreath in any direction I could make them fit. Warning: I did end up with a few injuries adding the toothpicks, and I suggest you add a hook or a bit of ribbon to hold onto after all of the toothpicks are on since it is a bit prickly after all the toothpicks are in!


Next, I took it outside and I spray painted it like crazy. This is another time when the ribbon hanger is super helpful. I had a good paint so I felt like I had good coverage with just the one can.



After it was dry, I took the foam glitter base fillers and stuck them on the toothpicks. I was super happy they were foam and they stuck right on the toothpicks and I did not have to glue any of them!


Once I was satisfied with the placement of the glittery foam thingies, I added my ribbon to the top.



I was super excited to put it on my front door, but it didn't quite fit in between the 2 doors. Oops! I  guess I shouldn't have added the toothpicks to the back!  I ended up hanging it in the house, and was sad to take it down when Halloween was over!

Thanks for stopping!
