Awesome Halloween Wreaths & Today's Giveaways @ Mrs. B's


These are a few of my favorite Halloween Wreaths. I still have yet to get a decent photo of my own creation. A couple years back I made a Black Maribou Feather Wreath, ad strung orange lights on it. That year, I decorate it with some orange silk flowers and sme little black spiders (on the flowers so they would show up.)

After Halloween, I took everything (except the feathers) off,and hung it in my living room year round. (I like black!) Then, last year, I restrung it with white light, and stuck a wooden witchy plaque up top (kinda like where the bow might go). It was great, and it served as the hanger. I didn't even have to attatch it, I just slung the wreath over the plaques hanging wire & voila- insant art!

This year, I strung it with orange lights again, and decided to adorn it with the beautifull Spider Skeleton Halloween Hair Flower that I won from Mrs. B's Giveaway. It was made by Jamie,of Jammer Designz. (If you haven't seen her stuff yet- you can find her (here). It looks super cool- but like I said...no photo yet. sorry guys.

Anywho... I wanted to share with you all a few of the inspiration photos that I gathered. Mostof them are pretty straigt forward- and if you knw basic wreath creating techniques- you can re-create any of the easily. (If you don't- that can be googled.)

I have wanted to make this Black Rose Wreath (ala Martha), since I saw it few years back. I even bought the black silk roses to make it- and then proceded to us them in other projects! So...maybe next year. Ah well, thank goodness Halloween comes every year. Otherwise we'd never have enough time to get to al of the great ideas out there!

  1. Oh that first one is gorgeous! And the raven one too. I would leave them up all year too. We have lots of things that we leave up all year and no one thinks anything about it. LOL
