Halloween decorating season is in full swing and I’m in love with all things spooky! If you are a regular reader you would know this is my favorite time of the year! I was asked to join the Celebrate the Season Joann Fabrics Campaign Halloween themed project this year.

I was so excited to be a part of this year’s Halloween fun! I came up with a Creepy Skeleton Skull Wreath for my front entryway! He is super scary but has a sense of elegance at the same time. Here’s how to make one for your haunted house this year.

  • 1 small Autumn Inspirations Small Fall Foliage Bush
  • 1 18-inch Grapevine Wreath

How to make a skull wreath

Instructions:

trim foliage from stems

Using pliers, cut the long stems off to the leafy part of the 6 long foliage stems. Cut the branch closest to the end of the stem off and set aside.

curve foliage like a hook

Place the long stems about 3 inches apart around the bottom of your wreath.Hook foliage in edge of wreath

Bend the wire end and hook them in between the wreath vines. Secure them with floral wire to the wreath.

wire foliage through vines

Place the 6 smaller stems (the ones you cut off of the long stems) between the 6 long stems and secure with floral wire.

Cut the smaller bush apart from the base with pliers leaving the stems long. Place them in the bottom of the wreath to cover the base of attached long stems. Do not attach them. Lightly spray paint the foliage and the wreath with Flat black spray paint.

Spray paint foliage for Halloween

Let it dry. Remove the stems from the small bush from the wreath.

cut fabric to add to Halloween wreath

Cut your fabric into 1 inch wide long strips.

Loop fabric over vines and tie down

Tie the fabric to the back and front of the wreath between the long stems.

Fabric tied to vine wreath

Add your bush stems back to the top of the long stems and attach with floral wire.

How to make a skull groundbreaker wreath

Remove the stakes from the skeleton arms with a screwdriver.

Tie skeleton bones for wreath hanger

Tie them together at the elbow tightly with twine. Attach the arms tightly with floral wire through the base of the fingers to the top of the wreath.

make a hole in a Halloween Skeleton

Make a small hole in the base of the skull with the screwdriver. Feed the floral wire through the holes and attach to the inside of wreath over the small bush stems.

Place your Halloween sign and attach with floral wire, and that’s it! Super spooky for your Halloween entryway!

    I am usually not the one really into wreaths…but this really caught my eye! (from Best of The Weekend link party.) This is really simple and fast to make…and with the coupon…you rock! I’m actually getting the supplies on Monday and making this with my youngest son (he’s 6). He’d really dig this project. Besides, we’d have the coolest wreath up in the neighborhood! Pinned and printing…(=
