Halloween Wreath

Now that the holiday season is almost among us, Erin and I decided we need to do a craft a week until Christmas!  This week we decided to do this amazingly beautiful and not so spooky Halloween wreath.  We shopped for the goods yesterday and put it all together today.  We had a blast and besides a few glue gun burns, it was very fun and easy! 

First we got all of our gear set up.  I busted out Steven's old sewing machine that, thankfully, worked very well, and Erin brought hers over. 
Next we spray-painted the wreaths black and the "BOO" letters orange. 
glitter next, of course. 
We chose 10 different types of ribbon and cut them into 12 x 4.5 inch strips. 
Next, loop the ribbons and sew them together with enough seam allowance to split the ends so you can hot glue them to the wreath. 

Cut the ribbons apart and then start gluing them to the wreath.  Watch your fingers, that hot glue burns! 

We attached the letters right to the ribbon with the glue as well.  We're pretty pleased with our work!  Fun little project! 
Now the question is....what to do next Thursday?
