Halloween Wreath

I finally finished my Halloween wreath!! After multiple fights with my hot glue gun and extra trips to the craft store because I ran out of ribbon, I finally finished it!

I didn't want rosettes all over, I wanted a more off-center, off-balance vibe. Anyways, I covered my entire wreath liner with this shimmery black ribbon I found. Then I had to make lots and lots of rosettes...

my first ever rosettes!
Can you believe I have never made these paper rosettes before?? I always thought they'd be so difficult but they were very easy, just takes patience if you want more than one. I have a HOW-TO make the rosettes here!

Here's my wreath! I simply wrapped the frame in black ribbon, used hot glue to add the rosettes, then added my glitter spiders around....





I hope you like my wreath! It was a crafting-first for me in a lot of ways. It's now hanging on our living room door along with all those crazy batties and my lovely All Hallows Eve banner :)
