Halloween Wreath

Adding a seasonal wreath or a holiday one is a statement of your likes and dis likes. It's literally the front door welcome when people come to your home, so it needs to reflect your style.

So when I saw a wreath that literally took my breath away on Grandin Road Website, I had to have it. Until I saw the $150 price tag. I made a mental note to break down the components of this wreath and why I loved it. 

1. It was glamorous for Halloween.

2. It was ghoulish

3. You didn't see these types of wreaths on everyone's front door.

In my area up until I joined a Garden Club, a lot of people I come into contact with still have kids living at home and everything is all cutesy and fun and mesh. Mesh Mesh Mesh! Now don't send me a mesh gremlin, but cutesy is not my taste. While shopping at the At Home Store I found a lot of the components of the wreath I loved. I found a plastic feather wreath perfect for outside, plus skulls and chains. JoAnne's had the silk flowers I needed to finish it off. So, below is my version of a feather, magnolia and skull wreath. I hope you like it!

Disregard the "Our Happy Place" sign, I have not put it away since taking it down from the porch.

I placed a nail in the wall so I could work more easily. I wanted to make sure things hung the way I wanted them. I drilled two holes on either side of the skulls and inserted wire into them to wire the skulls to the wreath securely.

I wired the chains too and also hot glued them to the picture so they hung exactly as I saw in my mind.

 The whole process took less then an hour!
