What's Wicked, Awesome And Has Feathers And Skulls?

Why my latest wreath, of course!

Want a closer look? 

When I was discussing wreaths that I was planning on making, my friend Tiffany, who is also the owner of the lemon wreath, requested a Halloween wreath, since she already had an autumn one. 

I had a couple ideas of what I could make, as well as some random Halloween items I'd picked up on sale at Michael's, knowing I could use them for something. While I was wandering the aisles of Michael's I ran across something else, and in my head, it all came together. 
 

Wanna see how I did it? 

Supplies: 

flat wreath form

feather boas (I used 3) 

skull heads

ribbon

glue gun and glue sticks
paint (optional) 

I started out by painting the wreath form black. The feathers covered the wreath form, but just in case the form showed through I wanted to make sure that the form wasn't visible. 

Next step was making my wreath hanger with my ribbon. It gave me a reference point as to where the top of the wreath was, as well as making the ribbon hanger more of a background piece then a focal point of the wreath. 

Once I had my ribbon hanger on, I started wrapping my feather boas around the wreath form and gluing them every few wraps around the wreath form to secure them. 

Once I had the wreath form covered by my feather boas, it's time to start attaching my skulls to the wreath. I laid mine out how I wanted them to be on the wreath before gluing them down. I simply hot glued the bottom of the skull and pressed it down onto the wreath.

And that's it, you're done! 

If I were to make another wreath like this I probably would glue the skulls so that the faces were facing out so they are easier to see, but at the same time, it's a little deceptive when you're walking up to the front door. 

Isn't Tiffany's front porch adorable? It's nice to have a friend that loves decorating for Halloween as much as I do.
