Crafting with Kelly
Halloween Wreath
By Kelly L. Merritt 
Supplies
Black wreath
18 Mini glass ball ornaments
(in Halloween colors)
7 small halloween tree ornaments
Orange pom-pom garland
Black wire
Scissors
7/8" wide orange/purple wired ribbon
Small hanging metal Halloween sign
Purple lights
Instructions
1. Fluff out the branches on your wreath.
2. Secure the start of your light string to the wreath by
wrapping them together with a piece of wire.Wrap
the string of lights around the wreath trying to
distribute them evenly. Remember to leave enough
of the wire free for the plug to reach your outlet and
secure with another piece of wire.
3. Next the garland gets wrapped around the wreath
securing it the same way you did the lights. Be sure
not to wrap the garland too tight or loose, you must be careful to
get all the pom-poms to be viewed from the front of your wreath.
4. Place the glass ornaments around the wreath to get your desired
placement and color scheme. Secure each ornament to your
wreath by sliding a piece of black wire through the top of the
ornament and then wrapping it around the wreath twisting the
ends. Press all ends into the wreath.
5. Decide where you would like to place the rest of your
ornaments. Cut the string off of the top of the ornaments.
String each ornament on to a short piece of wire and wrap the
remaining wire around a branch of the wreath. Bend and
shape the branch until your ornament lays nicely.
6. To create a bow for your wreath, take your ribbon and begin
to create loops. Loop your ribbon back and forth until you
have created your desired amount of loop.Wrap a piece of
wire around the center of your bow and fan out loops. Secure
your halloween bow to your wreath with a piece of wire.
7. Using a piece of black wire, attach your wire sign under your
ribbon.
8. Display and enjoy! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
