Eek! It's nearly October, which means it's time to prepare for pumpkins, ghosts and goblins... oh my! Why not welcome trick-or-treaters with this simple, affordable and adorable door decor this year?
STEP 1 {optional}: Spray paint a styrofoam ring black. I used a green ring and painted it black just in case the tulle didn't cover fully. I ended up having plenty of coverage, but my thinking is that it's better to get it right in the beginning rather than regret you didn't do it in the end!
STEP 2: Cut 12" strips of tulle. I tried a few different lengths until I was happy with the size. I also opted to tie my tulle on {vs. slip knot}, which allowed for more strips. One roll of 6" x 10 yard tulle provided about 30 pieces. Find a length that's pleasing to your eye and cut all the strips the same length. This will help to lessen trimming later and create an even wreath.
STEP 3: Tie the tulle strips onto the styrofoam ring. I used a basic overhand knot, nothing fancy. I knotted the pieces twice and pulled them tight. Once you've tied all the strips to the ring, you can slide them along to arrange nicely.
STEP 4: Attach decorations with a hot-glue gun. I didn't want to frighten my littles, so I went with more "friendly" decorations that I bought at my local craft store {use those discount coupons!}. You could also add ribbon roses or silk flowers for a more elegant look.
STEP 5: Hang and enjoy! I used the wire attached to the skull decoration to hang my wreath, but a big, bright orange ribbon would be a great addition, too. Add some fall-colored mums, a few pumpkins and a straw bale for a festive porch to welcome trick-or-treaters.
