Easy DIY Monster Wreath for Halloween

This wreath is so easy to make, comes together quickly and is oh so cute for Halloween!
I have several of these wreaths and wasn't sure how to use them. They are so thin. This is the perfect wreath for this project! You need a reed wreath, puff balls, google eyes and a glue gun.
I started with the largest poofs.  I started putting them close together, then thought that wasn't so smart.  I'd hate to run out. 
Instead I spread them out and figured I could layer and fill with the smaller sizes.  This method worked well.  You can see the process here.  I kept going around, adding largest sizes first then using the smaller sizes to fill.
So, so easy.  You can see in this shot that I went back and filled in spots where you could see the wreath with the small sizes.
After the poofs were on I added my google eyes.  Truthfully I bought these large ones thinking I had a bunch of smaller ones here at home.  I thought I'd add more eyeballs, I think that would be cute.  Turns out I didn't have them, so these big eyes are what I used.  Also cute.
I got some sheer purple ribbon and tied it in a knot, then moved the knot to the back of the wreath.
I love it.  It was quick, it's colorful, and makes me happy!  It's the simple things really!
