Two Easy Halloween Wreaths!

I'm just going to say it, Halloween is not my favorite holiday.  Before you scream "WHAAAAT!!!!" here's why.  I have a MAJOR SUGAR ADDICTION (as I write this I'm eating gummy bears) and this is the start of the season when I fight reaching into every bowl of candy and groping (without consent) every pie from here to New Year's Day.  I'm miserable because once I give into that tiny bag of Skittles, it's all over and I have to start wearing my big boy jeans.  NOT FUN AT ALL!  That said, I do like making wreaths so here are two that you can make for Halloween and Day of the Dead.  Remember, have fun, eat lots of candy and don't forget to Make Your Mark!
Day of the Dead Wreath
Watch how to make this (and a few other things) here!
STUFF I USED
Pool Noodle
Duct tape
Black fabric strips
Plastic skull
Allure Dimensional Design Adhesive Paint
Ribbon
Black and colorful flowers
HERE'S HOW
1. & 2. Tape a pool noodle together to create a wreath
3.  Wrap it in fabric (like a mummy) and pin the ends in place
4. & 5.  Glue black flowers around the wreath with E-6000 and pin in place until they dry
6. Glue colorful flowers around the wreath with more E-6000
7.  Decorate a plastic skull with Allure Dimensional Design Adhesive Paint
8. & 9.  Glue the skull and a bow to the inside of the wreath and let dry
Boo!

CREEPY SKULL WREATH

Watch how to make it here!
STUFF I USED
Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Carbon
10 plastic skulls
E-6000 Glue
Fake roses
Ribbon and glitter
Cardboard or foamcore
HERE'S HOW
1.  Make a thin donut (the size of your wreath) out of the cardboard or foamcore for a base
2. & 3.  Arrange and glue them to the base with E-6000
4. & 5.  Paint the skulls and base with the Americana Decor Chalky Finish
6. & 7.  Paint glue on the heads and glitterize them with black glitter
8. & 9.  Glue roses in between the skulls and a large bow on the top 
Creepy!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
